Alice in the Country of Hearts: My Fanatic Rabbit vol. 1

After being swept down a gaping hole in her garden, Alice Liddell finds herself in the Country of Hearts, an “outsider” among the land’s peculiar inhabitants. Taking up residence at Hatter Mansion, Alice occasionally forgets that her host, Blood, is the head of the Mafia. But she is quickly reminded of that fact by Blood’s violence toward his most loyal follower, the March Hare. Elliott has never known the care and attention Alice shows him, and her ways are as fascinating to him as his rabbit ears are to her. But can love truly blossom between two who are so different?

Black Bird, vol. 15

Sho’s death should have meant a return to peace for Misao and Kyo, once they came to terms with their guilt, but instead Misao finds herself displaying strange new powers she can’t quite control. Is this just the next stage for her as the Senka Maiden, or is something more sinister going on…?

 

Chocolat, vol. 8

Kum-Ji takes pity on E-Soh and tells him where her heart truly lies. But speaking candidly with E-Soh doesn’t automatically give her an opening to grow closer to E-Wan. Just when she decides that it’s time for her to stop clinging to her fantasies and come back to reality, the band gets in a terrible accident.

Some of the members are hurt badly, and there are fears that the band may not be able to carry on. Kum-Ji wants desperately to help her friends, but what can one girl do?

Worse yet, the king of Senan sends them packing…

  • Omg some of these titles look intresting. I’m defintly excited for chocolat ^^ yay ~

  • I picked up Demon Love Spell last night and I’m loving it so far. It’s cliche, but cute.

    Devil and Her Love Song was good as always, and the story is getting a little more twisty and turny!

    • It’s really good this volume – Devil and Her Love Song. I was really upset with Anna! I had a little hiccup with Demon Love Spell. More on that when I get to the review. hehe
