Alice in Bishounen-Land, Volume 1 | Yushi Kawata, Yukito
1 post | 1 read
Alice Kagami inadvertently gets herself trapped in the world of the otome game "Koiiro ? School Stars" alongside her best friend, Tatsumi, who's a huge fan of the game. The only way to escape is to train the idols of the school to become top stars. However, the five candidates that appear are a half-dog, a ghost, fairy-sized (8 inches tall), a giant (59 feet tall), and a 41 year old teacher who looks like a child. Useless game, only generating shallow, handsome guys with weird quirks! How on earth is she supposed to win with this motley crew of pretty boys? And all the while her best friend doesn't want her to win and end her dream of living surrounded by gorgeous boys. What's Alice to do?!

Mehso-so

2.5 ⭐ What the heck did I just read. Alice in Bishounen (Beautiful Boy) Land is a graphic novel about being sucked into a video game. This is a role playing game where a real person becomes a producer and must get their Idol team to be number one to be get back out into the real world. This book is all over the place. The main character Alice even admits that the story is all over the place, as she is actually a player in the story and just

LibrarianRyan as clueless as the reader. Over all I am not impressed. This has been done better by Skeleton Knight in Another World and by Fairy Tale Battle Royal. I barely understand the idea of idol, in my head they are like a US boy band like Back Street Boys or NSync. Neither of which I was ever into. Can I see others liking this book and continuing the series, sure….just not me. No thank you. Interesting concept but lack luster completion. 2y
