Che dire... è un manga smut, molto smut, smuttissimo! Il volume è diviso in due storie, nella prima 4 amici si incontrano per andare tutti insieme a un appuntamento al buio con 4 studentesse loro coetanee, le ragazze però all'ultimo momento danno buca ai poveretti che... di punto in bianco si ritrovano a bere per consolarsi e una volta a casa decidono di... organizzare una bella orgia. Ha senso? Assolutamente no ma... ADOROH! Rispetto al solito infatti il clima è allegro e divertente e i personaggi con il loro modo di fare mi hanno conquistato, nonostante la scelta di concentrarsi sulla parte smut infatti la mangaka non si è dimenticata di dare forma ai protagonisti e possiamo per una volta goderci dei personaggi ben caratterizzati e riconoscibili fin dalla prima comparsa. Ci sono Taichi, il classico ragazzo ricco, bello e gentile per tutti, ma sotto sotto un po' sadico e maniaco del controllo, Shizuya, lo stronzetto, bello e dannato, sempre pronto a commentare acidamente qualsiasi cosa e a litigare, Ai, il "protagonista", povera vittima della storia, lo sfigatello che desidererebbe più di ogni altra cosa al mondo trovare una ragazza ma viene costantemente molestato dagli amici/amanti e infine c'è Kio la "bitch" del gruppo che con i suoi modi da gattina in calore/bimbo tenerello mi ha stregato. Nonostante i pochi capitoli è impossibile non affezionarsi ai 4 matti maniaci e durante la lettura ho passato la metà del tempo a ridacchiare come una cretina per le loro battute e il loro modo di fare, soprattutto per gli scontri tra cane e gatto di Ai e Shizuya. La storia non ha un vero sviluppo e semplicemente ritroviamo per 3 capitoli più un'extra i nostri "eroi" a farlo in ogni modo e approfittando di ogni occasione possibile e... stop. Nonostante il clima puramente erotico e con qualche elemento non-con e D/s mi è piaciuto molto e l'ho trovato scorrevole e divertente, una boccata di aria fresca rispetto ad altri smut, troppo concentrati sull'erotismo per cercare anche solo di dare forma ai suoi protagonisti. Una storia che mi è piaciuta molto, al contrario della seconda del volume, di due capitoli, che mi ha invece lasciato un po' insoddisfatta. Troviamo il povero impiegato Misaki nelle grinfie di un lupo mannaro convinto che egli sia il suo compagno di sangue e olè, via di momenti creepy dove lo stalking regna sovrano e il non-con vola. Anche se la storiella viene spacciata per carina e romantica con il lupo mannaro imbranato e smielato è tutto un sesso "Diventa il mio compagno", sesso, "Tu sei mio", sesso, "Ti voglio" e questa "imposizione" mi ha fatto storcere un po' il naso.... il fatto che Misaki venga preso con la forza fin da subito e poi si innamori senza aver passato del tempo con il compagno fuori dal letto... mah... mi ha lasciato un po' perplessa
Se non fosse stato quindi per questo secondo racconto probabilmente avrei arrotondato tranquillamente a 5 stelline ma in questo caso... ne lascio 4 avendo preferito di gran lunga vedere 2 capitoletti extra sui 4 amici piuttosto che una storia senza capo nè coda, con elementi paranormal a caso e completamente scollegata dalla trama principale.
Mi sento in ogni caso di consigliarlo agli amanti dello smut e agli amanti delle foursome, se cercate qualcosa di erotico ed eccitante fa sicuramente al caso vostro!

Alice comes back to find Blood threatening Julius. She refuses to go back to the mansion with him but does agree to visit. When she visits, she, Elliot, and the twins decide to have a picnic lunch together (Blood is too "tired" to go). Blood

This was a vast improvement over volume 1, but it was still essentially a rehash of the first English-translated Alice in the Country of Hearts release and at least one other entry in the franchise that I can't currently recall.

This felt like someone looked at the first volume and said "we need a do-over." The beginning even recapped how Alice arrived in Wonderland. It was kind of weird, actually.

This had nicer artwork than the first volume, but story-wise it still crammed a lot into one volume. For example, there were little creepy bits that indicated that Peter and Nightmare were teaming up to keep Alice in Wonderland, steering her to the point of taking her ability to choose away from her. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough space to both include this stuff and also explain it, so I imagine it'd be terribly confusing to newbies. Actually, I'd only recommend this to Alice in the County of completists like myself.

Am I done with this franchise yet? I think I have a little more to go, but it'd be nice to know how much. I feel like I need a guide of some kind.

This speeds through Alice's arrival in Wonderland, leaving the palace, staying at Julius's, and ending up at the Hatter Mansion. Alice has sex with Blood. It's supposed to be a casual relationship, but she

This is garbage. Very nearly incoherent, with hardly any story. It speeds through too many things too quickly, and I shudder to think of a newbie to this franchise picking it up. If it was written for franchise veterans, then a lot of stuff should have been left out so that Alice and Blood's relationship could be developed more. But if it was written for franchise veterans it was also largely unnecessary: this was basically a much sloppier and more condensed version of the first Alice in the Country of Hearts release in English, right down to the scene with Blood and Vivaldi in Blood's garden. It contributed nothing new.

There was zero decent relationship development, and it didn't give readers a very good feel for the characters, other than the very basics. It also contradicted itself. It said that Peter abandoned Alice after taking her to Wonderland, but she's with him at the Palace right from the start of the volume.

I read this right after My Fanatic Rabbit, and one of the things that struck me was how different Alice seemed. My Fanatic Rabbit was a Yen Press title translated by Ajino Hirami, while The Mad Hatter's Late Night Tea Party was a Seven Seas title translated by Angela Liu (who, if I remember right, might have handled most, or maybe even all, of Seven Seas' Alice in the Country of translations). The Alice of these two volumes had more of a mouth on her than the Alice of My Fanatic Rabbit.

At any rate, this was probably the worst Alice and Blood pairing I've read so far. The volumes with this pairing are usually pretty good, if only because they dig into Alice's past more than many of the volumes with other pairings do, but this just felt like a cash grab. It would have been too confusing for a franchise newbie, it didn't offer anything new for franchise veterans, and, even though it introduced sex way earlier on than I'm used to this series doing, even that felt tepid. Unfortunately, the artwork wasn't good enough to carry it either - it felt like a riot of screentones.

Eh, the characters are okay in this one but I really felt like the plot was wayyy too over dramatic to enjoy. I partially think its because I'm not a teen any more so I had more qualms with how the characters reacted to situations then I may have ten years ago.

Maggie doesn't speak anymore, not since she watched her mother die. Now she's living with her cousin Brady and her aunt and uncle. West is the star of the football team and Brady's best friend. But no one knows he's watching his father die at home. When Maggie and West meet there's an immediate connection. Problem is, Brady has warned the entire football team to stay away from his cousin....

This isn't really anything new in contemporary YA, jock is a jerk, girl is a bit of a Mary Sue. The two fall in love almost at first sight...yada yada.

It's definitely more for mature teens as it deals with death in the family and there are some sexual scenes throughout.
