I’ve never wrote a review for any manga I’ve read before, but something about how i stumbled onto this and how I feel it deserves more eyes on it compelled me to write this.
I accidentally put Alice in hell in my reading catalog while trying to add Alice in borderlands. And when I started the read I was gripped by the unique rough art style and its seemingly clique main character. And I read it non stop for the entirety of the school day and that night.
I really don’t know why this honestly over brutal over sexualized manga gripped me the way it ... did. But it had been a while since I read a manga with such soul within its characters. Shuu the protagonist is flawed and kind of unlikeable, you just feel bad for him and just want to see how he will fuck it up even more.
But the real soul of this manga is the character of Alice, Alice represents this pain and suffering. A pure child that mirrors Shuus lack of a childhood. Alice and Shuus relationship just brings this unique quality to the story, feeling almost like the relationship of a post eclipse Casca and Guts.
The message of pain, loss, acceptance, and those who will always live in denial; brought me to reflect personal experiences that many people suffered as well. I honestly think that this is one of the best reads I’ve had even with it’s short time I had reading, I feel so connected to these characters which I find I miss a lot with the manga I’ve been reading lately.

Overall I think this should be on a lot of people’s lists if you are a fan of the seinin genre and I honestly hope one day this manga gets the reads and views it deserves.
