Are You Alice?, Vol. 1 by Ikumi Katagiri

2.0

I thought the story was interesting, and the art was incredible and very detailed, but at the same time, the story was confusing. I feel like this one would've been more enjoyable, for me, as an anime or a video game, just because I feel like watching the story or playing the story would make it easier to follow and more enjoyable to consume. It's not that the story is bad, but it seems very hectic and a little complex. It follows a young man that doesn't have a name, really, and is looking for somewhere where he belongs. He somehow gets to Wonderland and all of the characters start calling him Alice, but in order to actually become Alice he has to kill the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat are humans, along with the Dormouse, and I'm assuming the caterpillar will show up and be human as well. I think that's part of why the story is so difficult (for me) to follow. I might try to read the next couple volumes, but if I don't enjoy them more than this one, I won't finish the series.

I really like that it's an original concept, though. It definitely turns the Alice story on its head.
