Alice In Bishounen Land Volume 2

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?!

After getting unexpectedly drawn into an idol dating sim, total newbie Alice Kagami doesn't have a clue how she's supposed to act like a proper producer, let alone save herself and her idol-obsessed friend Tamami. But after her group's crushing first loss, the only way to go is up! Together with her mismatched group of handsome boys, Alice learns to brave the gacha again, level up her idols, and join in summer festival fun. But will their group's newfound success transform digital dreams into reality? Includes excerpts from artist Yukito on the design and production process of the elegant FIORE Rose plastic model by popular kit-and-doll-making company VOLKS!

Alice is certainly not in her world anymore. This version of Kyoto is magical and confusing — and Alice can't seem to find her childhood first love, Ren, the person she believes summoned her to this Kyoto in the first place. Strangely enough, the Imperial Crown Prince looks startlingly like Ren... but if he summoned her here, why doesn't he recognize her? On top of all that, Alice realizes she must discover her heart's true calling in order to remain in Kyoto Forest. If she doesn't find a purpose, she'll rapidly grow old and eventually disappear altogether! Stories and fairy tales have always gotten her through the sadness of her rootless life back at her aunt's house. Perhaps it's time to rely on them once again, here in magical Kyoto Forest.

She loves meat and fried foods, and eats only karaage bento. Wearing exclusively clothes with weird characters printed on them, her fashion sense is practically non-existent. No confidence in her own looks. Extreme social anxiety. She speaks with a country drawl, and even her name is unusual. But then Mame (born in Tottori prefecture) was discovered by an intimidating, bespectacled rookie manager, and now begins the arduous task of getting her ready for auditions! The road to Top Model looks awfully steep from here.

Akari is an average 25-year-old office worker who harbors a secret she hides from her colleagues; she's a huge otaku, to the point that her obsession is ruining her financially! When her lunch is stolen by a pigeon, a kind, attractive stranger offers his homemade bento in its place, and after graciously accepting, Akari tells him the reason she's so destitute. Of course, she assumed she'd never see him again... but he's the newest hire at the company where she works! Will he keep her secret? And will she learn more about this kind-hearted man?

Alice Kagami is an ordinary high school girl who doesn't really get her friend Tamami's obsession with idol games. There's more to life than handsome digital boys, dating sims, and mini-games, right? But then, Tamami is "chosen" as one of the top idol fangirls in the country and gets drawn into the game — and hapless Alice gets pulled in too! Between dealing with the mismatched members of her idol group to intense pressure to spend real money on gachas, how is a total idol game newbie supposed to take them to the top?

Super serious Asahi Suzumura and laidback, easygoing Mitsuki Sayama might seem like an odd couple, but they made a deal; they'll vacation around the world and when they get back to Japan, they'll get married. As they travel from country to country, the different people, cultures and cuisine they encounter begin to bring them closer together. After all they're not just learning about the world, but about themselves too.
