Well seeing as there are no reviews for this, I figured I would write one. It's my first one by the way, so I apologize for my poor formatting skills.

Miyuki-chan in Wonderland is what I refer to as CLAMP throwing out all of their built-up sexual tension into one tiny manga volume. As many CLAMP fans know, CLAMP doesn't often do super-sexual things. Their most sexual work, other than this one, was Chobits- Which still just felt like an ecchi shoujo rather than a shounen.

But anyway. Miyuki-chan in Wonderland is essentially a yuri ecchi manga with very pretty art and an Alice in Wonderland theme, ... as the name would imply. Each chapter is a different story that usually stats out with our heroine, a high school girl named Miyuki, in some every-day situation- Being late to school, brushing her hair in the mirror, watching TV, playing video games going to the movies, etc. Then, something odd happens and she gets sucked into an alternate dimension of sorts- and it's a different world in every chapter that always relates to whatever she was doing at the time. In every world she gets sucked into, she invariably runs into a series of scantly-clad women, all trying to grope, seduce, undress, or otherwise sexually violate her in some form or another. Amusingly enough, there's never even any real nudity- Just... Everything else.

Story: 4
Well I pretty much summed it up in the above paragraph. It repeats itself in every chapter with new characters and a new world, but the same formula.

Art: 9
Alright it's CLAMP. Their art is superb- hard to deny that. To top it off, it's their old style, which was much more rich with beautiful detail than the style they use now. The only reason I did not give the art a 10 was because I felt that the costumes, which CLAMP is normally AMAZING at, were very dissapointing. With so many characters, I expected to at least be looking at tons of pretty clothes.

Characters: 5
The only reason this even got a 5 was because the last chapter features the females from X, which is my favorite manga and the reason I even purchased this silly thing. So forgive my bias. That being said, the characters are.. well... They are what they are. They don't really seem to have personalities outside of wanting to molest Miyuki. Miyuki's personality is nothing to talk about either- She gets sucked into a world, gets freaked out (although less freaked out than the average person would be in this situation), and has the cycle repeated.

Enjoyment: 7
Honestly I just like looking at CLAMP's art, and seeing the X females was a huge plus and made me smile. So that's the only reason this got a 7, but for anyone who is not an X or CLAMP fan, I doubt you'll enjoy it much unless you really want to see some badly done yuri.

Overall: 5
Yeah it's pretty bad. Honestly, unless you're a CLAMP and or X fan, I wouldn't bother. It's pretty, and I did get a couple chuckles, but that's about it. And with how much anime/manga has changed today, any ecchi/yuri fans would be SORELY dissapointed by this- There is no actual nudity or any kissing, just a lot of groping and such.

I honestly do not know that the purpose of this manga is. It never attempts to have a good plot, its characters never get a chance to develop, and it's too bland and quick-paced to be considered decent ecchi.

It has the thinnest veneer of a story possible--it's a series of random scenes of women molesting Miyuki, with each chapter having a different theme, from Wonderland, to Boxing, to Video Games. There is no continuity between these chapters besides Miyuki herself. Miyuki herself handles every incident the same.

There is really nothing else to say about it, except perhaps that the art is decent.That said, there are ... far better options for eye candy if that's what you're looking for.

I am completely disappointed in this manga. While the artwork was descent, the stories were boring, the characters had very little to no personalities, and the chapters are obviously too damn short! Everything about this manga is very bland and quick-paced- heck, I don't even think it should be considered a manga! Why weren't the chapters longer, and why weren't the stories longer? And Miyuki is probably the worst thing about this manga. While she had the largest role, she was both bland and annoying - I got tired of her whining almost right away. She (much like everything else) definitely could have been written ... better. I actually wanted to see much more of these characters; especially the way they "interacted" with Miyuki. I mean, come on, let's actually have some fun with this idea. If it's meant to be erotic and lewd...well than use that in a much more creative way.

Why not give each character an entire chapter or two to help with their development? Why not have Miyuki actually enjoy the sexual escapades that the women in this bizarre world end up putting her in? Why not make Miyuki a much more confident and outgoing person the more unnatural and abnormal things she faces? Also, why not just do the whole manga in color? 'Cause seriously, it would look so much more beautiful in color - though The White Rabbit should be, well white; and The Queen should have hearts on her outfit. Not to mention that at the end of each chapter it says "Never End" - yet there was something new happening every chapter, and there were times where nothing made sense. The plot was all over the place, and nothing was given enough time for you to really give a damn of what was going on.

What's sadder is that you can actually see what this project could have been. It might have been something good. So what if it was filled with a bunch of yuri complications? Something can be erotic, and still be good at the same time. All these beautiful women, and they don't get enough attention or time in the story.
