Product Information

The game is 'Three of Clubs' named 'Good Fortune Bad Fortune' where they have to answer obscure questions and if they get it wrong flaming arrows are shot at them. Ryohei Arisu is a young man who struggles to connect with his family and spends time hanging out with his friends, Daikichi Karube and Chōta Segawa. There are times when rereading specific panels is a must because the chaos that ensues is a bit overwhelming. Die Schule nervt, sein Liebesleben ist ein Witz und seine Zukunft fühlt sich an wie der drohende Untergang.

When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true. Arisu (the “Alice” of the title - there’s no “L” in the Japanese alphabet so “Arisu” is the closest they can get to pronouncing “Alice”) is an unremarkable teenager, Chota is the annoying pervy mate and Karube is the strong silent type - all three are manga archetypes.The main lead, Ryohei Arisu, is a drifting high school student who lives a carefree life but feels he lacks purpose and thinks his future lacks any meaning. Volume 11 reached the 48th place on the weekly Oricon manga charts and, as of June 22, 2014, has sold 21,496 copies. is also fast-paced, gory, and good but with a darkly humorous bent that contrasts nicely with the grim seriousness of this series.
