@Lan: Yeah, that was really the key selling point for me. The pretty only goes so far, if Alice was a dumbass I probably would have to give this a thumbs-down. But because she's not, the mystery of the world is actually interesting to me because it doesn't feel like it'll be some stupid obvious and/or cheesy thing.
I dig it! The humor and speed was solid, though I could have stood for a few more actual shots from the book. At least, if its going to be a review, since the art in manga is so large a component of enjoyment. Maybe if you do a quick, RL look, then into the hard/fast explanation.
Awesome REVIEW!
I will get this...
