Tokyo Winx Winx (manga)

Tokyo Winx Winx is the name of the manga series written by Reiko Yoshida and illustrated by Mia Ikumi. It was first released as an official manga on February 1, 2001, and it was serialized monthly until the final volume was released on April 4, 2003. TokyoPop licensed the manga and released the first volume in English on April 8, 2003. Volume 7 was released May 11, 2004. The first volume of Tokyo Winx Winx a la Mode was released about a year later on June 7, 2005.

Recently, Kodansha USA required the license for the manga after TokyoPop's license for it expired. Their version of the manga will have a whole new English translation than TokyoPop's version. Instead of 7 individual volumes, 2 or 3 volumes would be made into one book. Volumes 1 and 2 were released in Omnibus (big book) edition in October 25th, 2011. Volumes 3 and 4 were released on December 20, 2011. Volumes 5, 6, and 7 were released on April 24, 2012. Their translation of TMM a la Mode will be released in omnibus format in November 2013.

The series follows five girls, Bloom Momomiya, Stella Aizawa, Flora Midorikawa, Musa Huang and Tecna Fujiwara, who are infused with the D.N.A of endangered animals that give them special powers and the ability to transform into a "Winx Winx". Led by Bloom Momomiya, the girls protect the Earth from aliens who wish to "reclaim" it.
