Tokyopop is an USA company which publish & translate the Tokyo Mew Mew mangas into English. Whats good about the TMM mangas they publish???? Well, they were publish after Tokyopop introduces 100% authentic manga style (i.e. right to left format), however they did not introduce honorifics in the manga which is too bad...
