The pair of artists created the first edition of the work on Nakayoshi from 2000 to 2003 for a total of 7 volumes. In Italy, the work is available for purchase in its entirety for Play Press. Ikumi also made from 2003 to 2004 a sequel to the manga in question entitled Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode and, again, a mini-series in December 2019 entitled Tokyo Mew Mew 2020 Re-Turn.
The series manga inspired a 52-episode animated series and aired from 2002 to 2003 with the production of Studio Pierrot (Naruto). In Italy, the rights were acquired by Mediaset which broadcast the anime on Italia 1 in 2004. The Italian abbreviation was interpreted by Cristina D'Avena:

She soon discovers that she has developed superhuman abilities and increased agility. Her new powers are put to the test accompanied by a team of four other girls, each with special abilities. Together, they must now protect Earth from an alien threat known as Deep Blue.
