Absolutely amazing art. Very confusing at first, but it starts to make sense as things go along."Alice" escapes into Wonderland to forget about his real life, but once there he finds himself trapped in a game to kill the White Rabbit. From the very first page, the characters and their motives are shrouded in mystery. Alice seems to have few of his memories, so we are as ignorant as he is, and only learn things slowly. In this twisted version of Wonderland, he is literally chased by regrets, remnants of all the "Alice" candidates past who failed. All the characters take a different form
A nameless and empty disillusioned young man stumbles into Wonderland, where he is given the name "Alice" and thrust back and forth while being told to "kill the White Rabbit" to become "The Real Alice". But in a world where you can never turn your back, nor reflect on yesterday, and where time is nothing but a number to some, how long can "Probably Alice" survive?Urgh. Are You Alice? is kind of like a mix of the original Alice in Wonderland, Alice in the Country of Hearts, and Pandora Hearts,
Yes, I admit I have a thing and interest in the concept of Alice in Wonderland. I am not the most fond of the original text finding Alice to be rather stupid and dull but the world and the ideas surrounding the world are absolutely fascinating. It is a interesting world with interesting characters to play with to say the least. Thus I picked up Are you Alice? which is a unique take on Alice in Wonderland with a guy who happened into wonderland and has been dubbed Alice and is forced into a game
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
It was truly weird. I usually like retellings or pastiches of Alice in Wonderland. But this wasn't my cup of tea I guess...
