Alice in the Country of Hearts, Vol. 1 by QuinRose

Elliot announcing that he'd kill Alice's sister for making her unhappy was horrifying, and a good reminder that the people in Wonderland have a very different and far more violent way of approaching the world than Alice is used to (that said, there are non-killers in Wonderland - it's one of the reasons why I like the Julius and Alice pairing so much). It's either too goofy and focused on Alice's love of Elliot's ears (it often feels like she enjoys tugging Elliot's ears more than she likes him as a person) or too focused in Elliot's violent nature. I'm really not a fan of the Alice and Elliot pairing. The volume ends with Elliot heading to the castle, and Vivaldi about to order Alice beheaded. He gets lost, so she joins up with Peter when he shows up, but Peter ends up locking her up to keep her from leaving.

Alice leaves and ends up traveling with Ace to Heart Castle. That awakens doubts in her, which deepen when Elliot tells her he'll kill her sister for hurting her and making her unhappy.

She slowly becomes closer to Elliot, until the day she witnesses him doing his job (killing people for Blood). At the mansion, Alice meets the Hatter's right-hand man, Elliot March, who is likable and charming and.also sports a pair of bunny ears! And yet, Alice cannot get over the fact that Elliot is actually a Mafia hitman, willing to kill people without hesitation.In this popular Wonderland manga, the March Hare has finally arrived!!Īlice decides to stay at the Hatter mansion, even going so far as to get a job there. Trapped in this land in the midst of a three-way power struggle, Alice accepts an offer to stay at the Hatter's mansion. One day, a mysterious rabbit-eared man named Peter suddenly appears in Alice's garden and kidnaps her, whisking her off to a dangerous world where every resident brandishes a weapon. But can love truly blossom between two who are so different? Elliott has never known the care and attention Alice shows him, and her ways are as fascinating to him as his rabbit ears are to her.

But she is quickly reminded of that fact by Blood's violence toward his most loyal follower, the March Hare. Taking up residence at Hatter Mansion, Alice occasionally forgets that her host, Blood, is the head of the Mafia. After being swept down a gaping hole in her garden, Alice Liddell finds herself in the Country of Hearts, an 'outsider' among the land's peculiar inhabitants.
