[Read all▲▼] Alice in the Country of Hearts (manga) [Rating▲▼] Very good [Comment▲▼] 
Here I was expecting another ho hum Alice in Wonderland inspired fantasy story, and ended up with something that was more than a sum of it's parts. This series was a lot darker and stranger than I was expecting. It starts off with Alice being kidnapped by the rabbit and coming to Wonderland to play a "game", yet she (and the reader) are only given snippets of information about her purpose there. There is a creepy undertone to the story throughout and the series gives the feeling that there's something quite unnatural about this Otome game based world where everyone loves Alice. Even the ending raises a few questions, such as what's is the meaning of Alice's missing memories and what other reason do the inhabitants of Wonderland have for trying to prevent Alice form leaving? I can only hope that the dangling threads are addressed in the sequels. On it's own though, Alice In the Country of Hearts stands out as something a bit different and to me that's always worth a read.
