Alice 19th, Vol. 1 by Yuu Watase

4.0

After reading Imadoki, I was kind of worried Alice 19th was also not going to live up to my nostalgia. But I am actually relieved to say that it stands the test of time. Yuu Watase really is great at writing a guy who seems perfect and stoic on the outside but is actually a goof and kind of an idiot. The main female character isn't annoying, she just reads like a normal hesitant teenage girl (which CAN be annoying but its not here). This volume takes awhile to really get going ut why the end of volume one, I'm interested enough in the magic aspect of the story that I'm looking forward to volume 2. Conclusion: Slow but a good start to some classic magical shojo.
