| Tokyo Mew Mew was one of the first manga I had ever read growing up and was a bit of a childhood favorite alongside Cardcaptor Sakura. I had really hoped Ikumi-san could come back with more shoujo and/or magical girl manga after the reboot airs, since the demographic and genres TMM thrives on seems to be dying within these past couple of years... but... it seems fate had other plans. Hearing this news is a sad way to start the day indeed. Rest in peace Ikumi-san. Will re-read the manga soon, especially since it's been so long, may you live on within all of our deep blue hearts ♥ |
