Alice 19th, Vol. 2: Inner Heart (Alice 19th #2)
by
Yuu Watase
In this volume, Lotis Master Frei explains the power of the Lotis words to Alice. That's fine, she thinks - but when he decides he wants to marry her, much to her chagrin - he tries to seal the deal with a kiss, and Alice is ready to fight. Rabbit-girl Nyozeka sees that Kyou has the potential to become a Lotis Master himself, if only he would realize it. Meanwhile, Frei an...more

A man named Frey, who is originally from Northern Europe, comes and claims Alice as his fiancé - and also her first kiss. (There's also a very funny second kiss that involves Kyo and Frey that just made me die laughing.) This causes Alice to be completely exaggerated as she's not interested in Frey at all. The interactions between them remind me of the Miroku/Sango encounters in the early Inuyasha volumes, especially whenever Miroku acts like a pervert.

First book didn't really catch me but the plot started picking up in this book and I started getting a bit invested in the characters. That trend continued through the other books and I quickly finished the 7 book series. Nothing staggering but enjoyable and well done.
Re-read November 2012 with Sarah ~Serenity~
On this second read I've knocked this down to 3 stars (almost 2-1/2). We get to hear Kyo's tragic backstory, which explains some things, but I still would like to have a little more of the whole Lotus words explained. Alice and Kyo just go along, but aren't they hoping for a little more of an explanation, too? This reminds me in some ways of Prétear, Vol. 1.
All the goofiness with Frey is annoying me, too! I'm not sure if it's me, or the manga....

Okay, I'm going to continue this series because the story line is getting better and since learning Alice's age (15), it's a little easier to take seeing her with an older-looking boy. Although she still looks 12 to me. I think it's the haircut.

I really like the way the characters are developed, and the way Yu Watase inserts humor even at super serious moments. Although, I'm not sure how much I buy into the whole "journey to the center of the heart" thing. So far I enjoyed Fushigi Yugi more because it was in a magical and historical setting...but I'm still planning on finishing the series!
Alice in Wonderland basis, very girly, totally middle school drama. Great for my school library.
I think the story of this series is brilliant.. I just like it. I don't know why..
Alice tries to avoid stealing her absent sister's boyfriend Kyo, but she just can't avoid true love. Meanwhile, Alice and Kyo are instructed in the Lotus words and do battle with the Darva, the evil opposite of the zen-like Lotus philosophy and the captor of Alice's older sister.
I secretly hoped this would be an Alice-in-Wonderland take-off, but no luck. It was an okay story, but the plot needed to be developed more instead of focusing on repeatedly underlining Alice's doubts to the readers.

Advances and deepens the story nicely.

So goofy! I love Frey not only is he hot, but he is so funny. This is more of a comedy than anything and is not to be taken seriously. I enjoyed this one much more than the first.
Jealousy is a powerful thing.
I personally dislike Alice. She might be nice and thoughtful, but she's weak. She's a coward and won't stand up for herself. She depends on others too much.

Rather corny in parts, it's still a good read. The end of the series is somewhat disappointing.
Cute, but it was weak in comparison to Watase's other works.
