Alice in the Country of Hearts Volumes 1-6 by QuinRose, 1142
pages (6 books) Alice in the Country of
Hearts is a manga loosely based on Alice
in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. In QuinRose’s version Alice is abducted by Peter
White, who has bunny ears and can turn into a rabbit, and is brought to
Wonderland or more specifically the Country of Hearts. The Country of Hearts is
split into three warring factions; the Queen of Hearts named Vivaldi, the
Hatters who are led by Blood Dupre or The Hatter, and finally the Amusement Park
run by the Duke Mary Gowland. At the center of these three factions is the Clock
Tower. It is there that Alice comes to reside while she figures out how to get
back home.
I suppose this manga would fall under the harem
qualification as Alice is basically the only woman and most of the men pine for
her affections. Besides harem, I would also add in action and romance.
Alice in the Country of Hearts was well worth the read. The
characters were believable, especially considering that this takes place in
Wonderland, and were quite well fleshed out. By the end I only had one
complaint, it ended too soon.
