CW for attempted sexual assault, physical assault, blood
I am a huge fan of Yû Watase's writing and artwork, and this is probably my second read of Alice 19th. Alice, a shy girl that fears hurting others with her feelings, ends up in a bad situation when she sends her sister to a world of darkness. The magic system is probably one of my favorites of shojo manga, using words and heart as power. Fo a first volume, the story is set up nicely to bring Alice, Kyō, and Mayura into this world of Lotis Masters.
Again, the artwork is gorgeous and really gives a feel for the action scenes while also pulling at the heartstrings for the emotional moments. This series is a great starting point if people want to read more of Watase's fantastical worlds (and don't want to commit to Fushigi Yugi's 18 volume world).
