A WISH COMES TRUE,
By Sesho "www.sesho.libsyn.com" (Pasadena, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alice 19th, Vol. 4: Unrequited Love (Paperback)
Well, Alice Seno should be on cloud nine in "Unrequited Love", the 4th volume of the engaging Alice 19th series by Yu Watase. Why, you may ask? Because the boy she loves, Kyo Wakamiya, has declared his love for her, choosing Alice over her sister Mayura. The problem is that Mayura, who, by the way, has been possessed by Darva, the greatest practicioner of the dark arts of the Mara, has put a curse on Kyo. This curse of hate will kill Kyo if Alice ever says she loves him back. As you can see, this might lead to some conflict. And things just get more difficult because Kyo and Alice are destined to become the Neo Masters, powerful Lotis Masters who will destroy the threat of the Mara once and for all. Meanwhile, Mayura has set herself up as the invisible ruler of the city, Akira-style, with the help of some fellow Mara masters, just as some new allies begin to arrive to aid our heroes.
As you can tell, this has all the hallmarks of a arcane shojo manga: complicated love affairs, magic girls, and shouted generic attacks as they battle. But I like this series. Sue me. Because underneath, its really about all the tragedy that happens when people don't speak their hearts to others, mostly out of fear. If Alice had been straight up with her sister and Kyo from the beginning, none of the storyline would have happened (but then again, this series wouldn't exist). This volume was a little too heavy on the politics of love but it was still entertaining.

Something to Scream for,
By
This review is from: Alice 19th, Vol. 4: Unrequited Love (Paperback)
This volume kicks off from the last scene we see in the 3rd volume (the kiss). After that everything starts to become intense and really moving and shaking. Its an awesome volume that you just goes by fast and you will not stop reading until its over. Kyo is sweet as hell, I wish I could have a guy like that to moon over. AND FREI!!!!!!!! Oh god, he's giving Kyo a run because so far Frei is sooooo DEVINE. I got to parts where I was just screaming my head off at how romantic it can be (silent screams of course). That Alice is one lucky girl, two cute, handsome, loyal, and sexy guys just throwing themselves at her mercy. Makes me jealous. But yes. If you have the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd volumes, you have to get this one. BUY ALICE 19TH: UNREQUITED LOVE by YUU WATASE!!!!!!!!!!! you won't regret it. Not in a decade.

The Best volume so far,
By Lauren Edwards (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alice 19th, Vol. 4: Unrequited Love (Paperback)
Volume 4 of Alice 19th has got to be the best volume so far. It's not broken down into chapters, like the previous volumes and this is because there is too much going on. You are kept interested the whole time and I personally read this whole manga in one sitting. Here's why this volume is so great:
This volume I think is the turning point for the series. Here is when things get ALOT more darker Frey has gotten more serious..... thank goodness because he was becoming way to happy-go-lucky for me. Mayura is a psycho New Characters are introduced Some more light is shed on the mysteries of the Lotis Secret Society place My only complaint is that there is STILL NO EXPLAINATION to what Nyozeka is or where she came from. But I'll give Yuu Watse the benefit of the doubt and perhaps that will come later. Overall, I wouldn't pin this as strictly a shoujo manga. There's enough action to keep us action fans interested and it's also quite funny at times. Give this series a try!
