Alice in Kyoto Forest, Volume 1 by Mai MochizukiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I loved it because it has these "Alice in Wonderland "and "Spirited Away" kind of vibes. It's really cute and so captivating to read with a main female character who loves reading books and who finds herself in a completely different Kyoto kind of Wonderland, she has to find what she really wants in order to stay there or she might change into an old grandma like "Sophie in Howl's Moving Castel". Also she hopes to find a mysterious boy named "Ren" whom she met when they were kids and promised each other to get married when they grew up. Is he really from this world?
It is the kind of stories that I loved to believe in as a kid, I used to have this kind of dreams where I go to another world and live some adventures. That's why I love Ghibli's movies which this manga reminded me of them a lot and all those beautiful dreams that I had.
I got Mai Mochizuki's "Holmes of Kyoto" light novels that I want to read too. I loved her art here which is really cute and Alice is so lovely. I will be following this manga for sure.
