| So in the manga there was a short called Tokyo Black Cat Girl. It was story about her girl becoming a superhero to fight alien monsters. This story was the original idea Ikumi had before she made Tokyo Mew Mew. If her publishers told her that they didn't want a 5 superhero team than probably would have gotten this story. So what do you think? Would you have read it? I personally would have read it. I found it interesting and I like the idea of a having a magical girl series with just a solo fighter. You really don't see that often anymore. Now, I don't know about the girl's boyfriend. Seeing how it was a one shot he was just thrown at us. Maybe their relationship could work in a longer series if the oneshot was not written as the first chapter. |

| Oh, we are going to have this discussion. Yay~. :D
Personally, I really like delving into the solo-fighter trope. I would've liked to have seen this as at very least a mini-series, as it had quite a bit of potential. The boyfriend was a little questionable, but that is also due to the fact this wasn't even oneshot length. I certainly would've liked to see more on the actual enemies, not the monster of the week. |

| The monster she was fighting actually look pretty threatening compared to the monsters in TMM. |

| Off the top of my head, if I recall correctly, Hime-chan was fighting a mecha fish? |

| The monsters she fights are called Bagus. I don't know if they're mecha fish. I found this fansite while I was looking for this picture. http://www.freewebs.com/kuroneko-hime/ |

| Hmm. The monster that came to mind was one that looked like it was a robotic fish. Maybe I had the wrong picture in mind. |

| *Laughs* No, it doesn't. Maybe I saw a fan drawing in the manga style? |

| I absolutely loved this short and both Azumi-chan and Noda-kun. Especially Noda-kun. Tokyo Black Cat Girl as a longer series would've been wonderful and a must read on my list for sure. Up to this day I always wished there was more on it. |

| It's shame that there isn't more magical girl series that only has one person fighting. Maybe it's because publishers will think it's boring? I find it exciting and in this series Azumi seems like an interesting character. |

| Likewise, Ami-chan. I'd be very interested to read a fanfiction that expands on this specific idea, if someone knows where to find one or - if we're lucky - more. |

| It's possible, though it'd be a miniscule little niche. |
