Alice in the Country of Clover: Cheshire Cat Waltz #3

Mamenosuke Fujimaru's art dazzles on this volume's cover, where Alice — in her frilly dress, striped stockings, and whimsical candy-topped hat — sits close beside a sharp-eyed, red-haired young man dressed in sleek black, the two of them surrounded by an indulgent spread of sweets, candy canes, macarons, and glittering confections. The atmosphere is playful yet charged with an undeniable tension between the pair, perfectly capturing the off-kilter romance at the heart of QuinRose's Alice in the Country of Clover universe. If you've been following Alice's wonderland adventures, volume three of Cheshire Cat Waltz promises more of the enchanting, candy-coated intrigue that makes this series so hard to put down.
