Ep. 2: Ichigo learns about chimera animas and Mew Mews while meeting Minto Aizawa

2

Ryou and Keiichirou explain to Ichigo that the creature she encountered was a parasitic alien known as a chimera anima. To combat these threats, the Mew Project genetically modified five girls using endangered species DNA, allowing them to transform into Mew Mews. Ichigo starts working at Cafe Mew Mew while searching for the other four girls marked by the Mew symbols. Keiichirou provides her with a robot named Masha to assist with her duties. On her way home, Ichigo meets Minto Aizawa and her dog. She later visits Minto's house to return a handkerchief, but the dog becomes infected by a chimera anima. During the ensuing battle, Ichigo discovers that Minto is the second Mew Mew, Mew Mint. They defeat the monster and restore the dog to normal. Minto then joins Ichigo at the café.
