Are you Alice? #2

Volume 2 of *Are You Alice?* — the dark shōnen reimagining from writer Ai Ninomiya and artist Ikumi Katagiri — sets a moody, stylish tone right from its cover, where a sharp-eared, auburn-haired young woman in a black jacket strides confidently through a whimsical European-style street, red confetti drifting through the air, while a blond young man with piercing blue eyes follows a step behind. The crosshair-branded title logo adds just the right edge of danger to an already striking image. Published by Kazé in 2016, this volume promises more of the series' distinctive blend of twisted Wonderland atmosphere and cool, tension-laced character dynamics.
