This is one of the lowest-rated manga, and I am not entirely sure why.

Alright sure, it is a little obscure and unconventional, but the whole thing seemed pretty interesting to say the least. I'd like to believe there was some idea going on behind this whole thing. Maybe this is some social commentary on being a woman, which would for sure spark up some controversy, but it would also probably be looked at as an unfortunate event in an unfortunate circumstance. But there's also the name Alice and the whole exploration thing in the original "Alice in Wonderland". Maybe it goes on too just use ... Alice as a means to explore, well, the dark side. Again, what can I say? Maybe this is all abstract interpretation stuff. I wouldn't be surprised at that matter.

The art is what really sells the whole thing if I am honest, and with the lack of dialogue present in the entirety of this manga, I would say to take up the read to look at the art if nothing else. It reminds me a little of painting, but in some kind of artistic sketch; an artistically deformed human.

Nothing harmful here. I would imagine it is rated so low because of the lack of apparent meaning, but maybe you can look at that as a motivator to find something. You decide.

Okay I decided to have a One Shot readathon. At first I found it weird considering this is classified as a manga when it had no speech bubbles. But once I read it a second time I could find the beauty in it. Yes it's just art but the art has been the best I've seen in a long time, with saying this I gave the art 10. The actually story a 6. It was okay but the concept could have been better but nonetheless it was enjoyable.

Overall I gave it 6 because of the concept of the story and the character but that ... shouldn't mean don't read it because as I said I gave the art a 10 and if you like art you should look at this. Since I gave the art 10 my overall enjoyment (which is based on the art) is a 10.

Ermmm so... after looking at this 'manga' (since there is like nothing to read e.g no words or speeches, like not even one word in it) my face was like...

Story:
A DREADFUL 2
Ermm even after reading the plot... it still didn't get to me. The plot puzzled me...
'Alice waits with her mom in an elevator' WHAT THEY WERE IN AN ELEVATOR... no fool it didn't seem like it since the drawing was in my opinion different, but i will go to that point in a moment.
It didn't stand out, it didn't make sense to sum it up, if i had a question to ... ask the mangka it would have been. "Were you high when you wrote this manga?"

Art:
DECENT 4
Well, let's just stay, the mangaka at least made an effort in the art. The art was very unique and different. The use of water colours was very nice but not what he drew. The pencil work on this was very definite the strokes are beautiful and i actually admire this guys work... BUT yes BUT
The colours were dull and sometimes, too much was going on and it didn't really tell me what was going on. I didn't feel like it attracted me... Nor did i get a comfortable environment when i read it.

Character:
A PATHETIC 1
Seriously... nothing about the characters. I mean all i saw was a "few"horny men looking at a woman's breast and then what looked like was the woman stripping and started to touch her... *cough cough* OK little girl 'Alice' seriously whats wrong with your mother? Of course it's wrong, are you not stupid enough to tell your mummy to stop what she's doing ¬_¬ hello! *sigh* the characters are messed up.

No personality reference and you couldn't even tell when Alice went into another world or if she's the woman at the end or is that her mother
IT'S MESSED UP =_=ll

Enjoyment:
A PATHETIC 1
i don't think i really enjoyed it to be honest i mean, when i read it i never looked at the synopsis and... i seriously had the WTH face. For the 14 pages i read i really did feel disturb... "what the hell did i just seriously read."

OVERALL: (Drum Roll...)

DREADFUL 2

At least i didn't give it a 1...
The art is which i admire the most since i was surprised as this artist... IS FRENCH ( i was like WOW) I really admire him but this work is like what, weird, disturbing, random, confusing and what?
Never read anything like this. I wouldn't exactly recommend this to anyone in particular, not that i would ever to be honest...

It never hurts to read something different but for something that's only 14 pages and makes your head spin in circles just to figure out what actually happens *even though it tells you* i just would not read this ever again.
