Alice in Kyoto Forest is a sweet, short and very ghibli-esque story about a girl who is transported to another world. The art is gorgeous and very detailed, and the worldbuilding is decent, although it leaves you with many questions. The plot isn't super tense or exciting but the art and wholesomeness makes up for it's simplicity. Overall if you're into wholesome, art-focused manga then this quick read is for you. Don't go into it for the plot, but instead for the art and overall fairytale themes. Kinda reminds me of Natsume Yuujinchou, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.
The characters are lovable and there is
...
a childlike innocence throughout the manga, as well as a plot twist to the end. I think others might like this story more if they went into it without too many expectations. I found myself wishing it were longer so it could elaborate on the world/setting and the plot, but still. Good for a nice summer afternoon read.
