Alice in Wonderland...?

I just currently read this mange/anime/game, called Alice in the Country of Hearts.


This manga is loosely based off the classic story of Alice in Wonderland. Many of the characters are 'related' from the originals, but that's all. Related.

The story is about a War-torn Wonderland where everyone has no regards for their own life as well as anyone else. Alice was kidnapped by Peter White (who is the White Rabbit), and confesses his love for her, and tells her, that now she has to participate in their 'game' (which at this point I lose the game).

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Alice Liddell is an insecure girl who is jealous of her sister's beauty and grace. During one of their outings, Alice's sister goes to get a deck of cards for a game while Alice falls asleep. When a white rabbit comes and encourages her to chase him, Alice assumes she is dreaming and tries to go back to napping until the rabbit turns into a man with white rabbit ears and carries her off. Peter White throws Alice into a hole that appears in her yard and jumps in after her. When they land in a strange, open area, Peter starts confessing his undying love for her. He tells her to drink some 'medicine' but when she refuses, he simply pours the liquid into his mouth and kisses her, forcing her to drink it. It is later revealed that this liquid is some kind of way to prevent her from going home. Alice learns that she is in Wonderland and the only way she might be able to return to her world is to interact and spend time with the strange people in Wonderland, which slowly refills the medicine vial. However, Wonderland is going through violent times - everyone is reckless and uncaring as to who lives or dies, and with a civil war going on everyone in the strange world finds it hard to trust each other with an instinct to kill."


That should save me some time explaining the story line =3


I love the Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass stories. There's so many versions, I can't keep up, but I do love reading and seeing the different and creative ways of how people interrupt the stories/books.
