Alice in the Country of Hearts

Alice in the Country of Hearts (ハートの国のアリス~Wonderful Wonder World~, Hāto no Kuni no Arisu ~Wandafuru Wandā Wārudo~) is a Japanese female-oriented visual novel developed by Quin Rose.

The game is a re-imagining of Lewis Carroll's classic 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Instead, an anime film adaptation produced by Asahi Production was released in Japanese theaters in July 2011.

When they land in a strange, open area, Peter starts confessing his undying love for her.

However, Wonderland is going through violent times—everyone is reckless and uncaring as to who lives or dies, and with a civil war going on everyone in the strange world finds it hard to trust each other with an instinct to kill.

It is divided into three main territories: The Castle of Hearts, ruled by Vivaldi (the Queen of Hearts), with assistance from Peter White who serves as Prime Minister, and Ace (the Knight of Hearts), the most skilled swordsman in the Wonderland, who has a terrible sense of direction; Hatter Mansion, home of Wonderland's Mafia, The Hatters, led by Blood Dupre (The Hatter), with help from his second-in-command Elliot March (the March Hare) and the gatekeepers, Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum); and the Amusement Park, run by the marquis Mary Gowland (the Duke) with help from a punkish cat, Boris Airay (the Cheshire Cat).

All three territories are at war with each other, with the only neutral area being the Clock Tower Plaza in the centre of the Country of Hearts.

Alice moves into the Tower and ends up living and helping Julius Monrey, whose job it is to repair clocks, which work as the hearts of the inhabitants of Wonderland.

It follows the first game under the assumption that Alice did not fall in love with anyone, maintaining only friendships with the major characters.

Clover no Kuni no Alice replaces Julius Monrey and Mary Gowland with Pierce Villiers, the representation of the Dormouse, and Gray Ringmarc, Nightmare's right-hand man who works more in the capacity of a nanny to his master.

Joker no Kuni no Alice is a side-story to the first two games and reintroduces Julius Monrey and Mary Gowland.

[16] A second manga adaptation illustrated by Mamenosuke Fujimaru and titled Joker no Kuni no Alice: Circus to Usotsuki Game began serialization in the June 2011 issue of Ichijinsha's Comic Zero Sum.

[20] Ichijinsha published six light novels written by three different authors, but all illustrated by Nana Fumizuki.

The first novel is written by Momoko Komaki and was published in July 2008 based on the original Heart no Kuni no Alice game.

[30] Japanator's God Len comments on the "lots of kissing and/or yaoi-centric scenes because this one is made for a more female audience.

[48] Carlo Santos thought that the manga could be read as a satire on reverse harems, but felt the first volume lacked plot.

[50] Yen Press' English release of volume one of Alice in the Country of Hearts: My Fanatic Rabbit stayed on The New York Times Manga Best Seller List for six weeks, debuting at No.
