It's the last volume of the heart wrenching Alice 19th! The awaited and grief stricken volume won't disappoint you! All will concluded as Alice and Kyou fight for not only their beloved Mayura, but also for the sake of the world against Darva's wrath. (You shouldn't fear- "the fate of the world" line is not used in this volume, so no cliché dramatics) What's mostly in this volume is the Alice-Kyou-Mayura relationships, also with lots of Nyozeka background. Frei and Chris don't have that big of a role now, but Mei Lin and Billy peek out then and there. There's the special "Bunny Heart" featuring Nyozeka and a girl named Rakuen (Mei Lin's ancestor, I believe). So get out a few tissues and get ready for a satisfactory cry!

Actually, the ending was good, but it was a little cliche... but, as per usual, yuu watase kept us all in suspense and delivered an ending that you probably didn't see coming. And I also enjoyed the extra story. Usually, I find myself hating them and cursing the manga-ka for wasting precious pages on such stupid stories... but I loved Watase's closing extra, and I really loved the Alice 19th series in general.

Brava to Yuu Watase for another amazing series!!! \(^o^)/

This series is awesome. I loved it so much. I'm so happy that it wasn't as long as other series.

What did happen to Nyozeka?

The reason I loved this series so much was because the characters were fighting using words. That's something very rare that you don't see in mangas nowadays.

I've enjoyed the Alice 19th series until the end with this last manga installment. I thought it was completely unnecessary to add two extra characters, Mei Lin and Billy, just at the very end. I thought they filled too many pages of this manga with unnecessary filler. Those extra pages could have been used to wrap up Alice and Kyou's finale in much more depth! Frei, my favorite character of the series, lost his sparkle and appeal too. I was also pretty unsatisfied with Mayura's resolution, it was very discrete. I love Watase as an author, I've read most of her series: Fushigi Yugi, Ceres, Absolute Boyfriend. But I found this one's ending to be the most unsatisfactory of them all.
