L'Académie Alice #12

Volume 12 of Tachibana Higuchi's L'Académie Alice arrives in this French edition from Glénat, its cover centered on a silver-haired girl with striking crimson eyes, dressed in a dark uniform adorned with a red ribbon bow. Behind her, a grand clock tower rises against a soft pink backdrop scattered with roses, playing cards, and a glowing red orb — all the whimsical, slightly mysterious atmosphere the series does so well. A charming addition to any manga collection, this 2009 volume keeps the series' signature blend of school-life warmth and magical intrigue very much alive.
