The new Tokyo Mew Mew manga will now focus on male characters instead of the female characters of the previous manga and anime.

The new manga lists Kodansha with the credit for the original work. "Ore" (without the elongated "ō" sound) is the informal Japanese pronoun for "I," often used by males. "Ōre" (with the elongated "ō" sound) is a Japanese transliteration for the Spanish interjection "Olé." "O Re" (without the elongated "ō" sound) is also a Japanese transliteration for the French phrase "au lait." [ANN]
