Commentary Toward 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.

Evaluate Of Books Alice 19th, Vol. 1 (Alice 19th #1)

I read this series a long time ago and remember now why I liked it so much. It is well balanced and the length is perfect. I finished this in one night and didnt want to put it down at all. I liked the characters and that the story also shows our flaws and moments of weakness. I very much enjoyed rereading this series and actually would like to maybe read more from this author in the future.

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?!

This was okay, and I'll probably read further into the series, but there were times in the text where I had trouble figuring out what was happening. Generally, I liked the illustrations, and I did like the main character and her relationship with her sister. I did not like the character of Tatsuya - he was kind of a generic date rape character - and I really did not like the fact that the main character, Alice, apologized to him for not letting him know she actually liked someone else, like that

This was cute -- it was entertaining, had likeable characters, and was beautifully illustrated. However, it was just too light on the fantasy and too heavy on the high school drama, plus the plot lagged and got repetitive. I've noticed that I don't seem to be crazy about manga that don't go into the double digits with the number of volumes.
