Description In Favor Of Books Alice 19th, Vol. 1 (Alice 19th #1)

I found this manga on an Alice in Wonderland list. In fact it is minimally related, although the original Alice may have been the author's initial inspiration. The only solid connections are the main character's name and the presence of a rabbit. At first I was disappointed and felt that, although well done, this series would not be for me. There is a lot of emphasis on realistic early-teen issues like crushes, sibling relations, shyness, mean classmates, etc. which don't particularly interest me; I was going to review, "not for me, but recommended for teens and preteens." However, Alice and Kyo and even the annoyingly perfect and popular sister grew on me. They are much more nuanced and less overwrought than the run-of-the-mill manga teens. Also, I had no trouble keeping the characters straight, which is rare in this genre. And then, weird stuff started happening. I won't spoiler even the concept, but I thought it was pretty interesting and played well with Watase's interest in communication and honesty. I don't think this would be my Favorite Series Ever even if that spot weren't already taken by Natsume's Book of Friends, but I'll definitely be picking up at least the next volume. Maybe eventually she will explain the significance of the number 19 in the title.

Alice is a cute, sweet, somewhat timid girl whos just started high school. She quickly meets and falls in love (like within a couple of hours) with the dashing Kyo Wakamiya, a classmate of her older sister Mayura, and a member of the archery club. Alice saves the life of a mysterious rabbit one day, and Kyo, in turn, helps her to safety. The rabbit turns out to be some kind of weird manga creature/monster/magical/goddess/thingie, and it appears to Alice to teach her the lotus words because she

4 starsI am enjoying this series quite a bit. I picked it up on a whim because of the fact that it has some aspects of Alice in Wonderland. Some parts needed to be explained more, but it was still amazing. Overall, I think that it's a great opener and the series will take off from here.WHO'S THIS GUY?!

(Review for entire series)"There is power in words. With this you can save lives, but also its something that can kill."I love the premise of this series - that words have power, good or bad, to harm or help people - but I couldn't get invested in it. It's a magical girl manga and reminds me so much of Cardcaptor Sakura, but Sakura is much younger than the protagonist Alice here so you can forgive her a lot of things that come across as annoying here. Watase writes innocent girls really well

This is not the first series I've read from Yuu Watase and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last! As with most of the Watase's books, this series is a magical girl series. Though thankfully I happen to really love most magical girl series! So far I think the overall idea behind Alice 19th is cute and the volume itself I enjoyed reading. The artwork is great and the panels are well done and easy to read, though for now the plot seems a bit on the weak side. Also the thing that kinda bugs me is

I really enjoy Yuu Watase's work. This one doubly so. It was a fascinating story that mixed well with modern times. The artwork was wonderfully romantic.So what are you n00bs waiting for? Go read it for yourself!Cheers and Happy Reading!
