And it's just as memorable and fascinating as I remembered. I've been reading through these Alice manga a lot lately, and decided to go back to the original series. I love Alice in the Country of Hearts manga franchise so much, even with the frustrating lack of answers, because I guess, in a world like Wonderland, straight answers are not really the point, are they? It's been fun returning to the original series: the art is my favorite compared to the rest, the comedy is hilarious, and the dark scenes still as chilling as ever, combined with Alice's disturbing ability to "get over" the violent nature of her friends, no matter how much she's "against" it. ![]() It's intriguing and confusing, but it's one of the reasons why I love dissecting this series to death. I'm still baffled by Peter's role: Nightmare says that if Alice remembers everything, Peter will be the one she loves most, and yet she "mustn't" remember anything. Most of my thoughts on the series and characters are on the first volume, but in short: the more I return to this series, the more and more I'm convinced that Alice's sister is dead, killed, most likely by Alice's hand or by her darkest desire (such a secret wish or making someone else do it). ![]() ![]() ![]() The ' Eyes-On Glasses System' allows doctors and nurses to look through patients' skin to more easily locate veins for intravenous (IV) treatments.
