Japan has had quite a fascination with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland novels, such that allusions to the work, its characters and plot, appear in various anime & manga series time and again. This stack collects series that are quite overtly based on the work. Quite a few are based on Quinrose's Alice-inspired visual novels.

Quinrose series cut due to space:
Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World & Wonderful Twin World series,
Diamond no Kuni no Alice: Black or Sweets,
Joker no Kuni no Alice: Mayonaka ni Ochiru Yume,
Joker no Kuni no Alice: Mahiru ni Miru Yume,
Renai Otogibanashi series

Manga that might make you question "why is there an adaptation of THAT?"
Some might be a little more surprising than others but will still make you think "that exists huh?"

Other honorable mentions that didn't make the list:
any Jesus manga, Beauty and the Beast, Blair Witch, Finding Nemo, Frozen, Grimms Manga Tales, Joker, Lollipop Chainsaw, Tangled, Thomas The Tank Engine and Wolverine

Manga inspired by Alice in Wonderland

Otherworldly and/or monstrous features creeping into character design, art style, and/or otherwise general aesthetics; prominent uses of orange, black, and stripes, perhaps even gothic and/or chilling fairy tales—whether or not it's actually set in Halloween, these anime fit the spirit (or at least at any Hot Topics near you!) ⋆

I'm surprised that there isn't a name to this specific kind of aesthetic I've been craving. I seriously want to see more cute anime that embraces the spookiness in ways like Soul Eater or Hells did.


Non-manga examples:
Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, Corpse Bride, Devil's Candy, Tim Burton, Gekidan Inu Curry
