Rendition 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.Particularize Books Supposing Alice 19th, Vol. 1 (Alice 19th #1)

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 sheI 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.
Oh how I love Yuu Watase's writing and art! I missed It! <3

Rereading this was really fun. I remember loving volume one when I was in middle school, but for some reason I never continued the series. Rereading it now, the writing was really good, and I am excited to continue.This story is loosely inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The main character, Alice, is very shy and doesn't want to admit her feelings to anyone--to her family, and her crush, to be exact. Her quiet nature isn't helped by the fact that her older sister is very selfish and very outgoing,
It's a little surreal to revisit the only Yuu Watase series I remember ever really liking from the start. If you read my review on the first volume of Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden, you're probably aware that I have Issues™ with the vast majority of her works and the elements within them. If you didn't know that, congratulations, now you do. Perhaps one day I'll go on a proper rant about it.The thing is, however, the theme of Alice the 19th revolves a lot around the power of words and the

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?!
