Line 1: {{work}} ~~{{quote box\|~~[[File:Are_You_Alice_4147.jpg\|frame]]}} Throwing his dreams away, a young man enters "wonderland", completely stripped of his memories, heritage... and name. As he reacts to the name "Alice", he is forced to participate in the game of killing the White Rabbit as the 89th candidate, in order to legally earn the name "Alice". With the Mad Hatter at his side, he starts his task and gets to know many different characters, all of them having various reasons for existing in Wonderland and for being in favour or against "Alice". ''Are You Alice?'' started off as a series of drama CDs written by Ninomiya Ai and became her most popular work. It was adapted into manga-form in 2010 by Katagiri Ikumi and as of 2011, a PSP-game was also released. It is obviously based on ''[[~~Alice in Wonderland (Literature)\|~~Alice in Wonderland]]'', but with very individual takes to the original source. The series is remarkable for its complex characters and world as well as for the high amount of well-known seiyuu that star on the CDs. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[Are You Alice]]'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Ambiguously Brown]]: The Caterpillar. * [[Alice Allusion]]: This series is ''obviously'' based on ''Alice's Adventures In Wonderland''. * [[Animal Motifs]]: ''Obvious'', but other characters get this. In an omake, Alice compared the Queen with a panther, Jack with a dog, and the Mad Hatter with a bear. {{spoiler\|The Mad Hatter, on the other hand, calls Alice a giraffe.}} * [[Bishonen]]: All over the place. * [[Click. "Hello."]]: Expect this to happen in just about every scene involving the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. * [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Just about everyone in this series seems to have one hidden somewhere... * {{spoiler\|[[Dead to Begin With]]: The 48th Alice, or "Regret".}} * [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: Kill the White Rabbit, and you win! Fail, and you become some freaky shadow monster forever roaming Wonderland, hopelessly clinging to the name Alice... * [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Several, different examples: ** The Queen of Heart wears black and white, has chocolate-colored eyes, and has black hair. {{spoiler\|[[Irony]] is that he ''hates'' the color red.}} Line 28 ⟶ 27: * [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Wonderland's Mass Creation Distortion/The Duke. * [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: The Duchess, in a rather diluted sense. * [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: Due to the back stories we've gotten from a few characters, {{spoiler\|namely Alice's and the Queen's,}} it's hard to discern who's good or evil. The Queen of Hearts has a very good public face, being showered with gifts from all sorts of girls. He's, however, in charge of killing the ones who fail at their job or break the rules. Meanwhile, the White Rabbit ''made'' the game to kill him, and the Cheshire Cat crosses back and fourth from being a hero to a villain, very similar to the animated Disney movie, where the Cat was "the villain" when compared to the books. Alice himself isn't innocent either, having {{spoiler\|apparently killed Alice Liddel, his '''big sister'''.}} * [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: Would you believe the Queen of Hearts {{spoiler\|was a mass murderer?}} * [[Identity Amnesia]]: The 49th and current Alice and the Mad Hatter. Line 34 ⟶ 33: * [[Lolicon]]: The Mad Hatter. However, it only becomes really clear when it becomes clear that he {{spoiler\|is actually Lewis Caroll, who is hinted at having been in love with Alice Liddell}}. * [[No Name Given]]: "Alice?" can't remember his own name. The reason for that is [[Tear Jerker\|really sad]]. * [[Off ~~With~~with His Head]]: Characters that don't play by the rules the White Rabbit gave them, or that aren't needed anymore (most prominently {{spoiler\|the Duchess}}) are erased from the story this way. The Queen of Hearts does the deeds himself with his [[Sinister Scythe]]. * [[Out, Damned Spot!]]: {{spoiler\|A mild one from The Queen of Hearts, [[Mind Screw\|so mild that it's really hard to tell if he actually regrets his actions or not.]]}} * [[Petting Zoo People]]: The Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit. * [[Quest for Identity]]: Subverted. 'Alice' doesn't seem even slightly interested in getting his memories back and simply wants to live in Wonderland. ** However, he becomes more fond of the name as the story of the original CDs goes on, which becomes the main topic to probably one of the most [[Mind Screw\|mindscrewy]] CDs of the whole series. * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Although the White Rabbit's eyes are described as pink in both the English original and the Japanese translation of ''Alice in Wonderland'', his eyes are very red here. And he's quite a [[Killer Rabbit]] on top. * [[She Is the King]]: [[Inverted Trope\|More like 'He is the Queen']]. * [[Shown Their Work]]: Even going as far as to incorporate 'minor' elements of the original story, such as Dinah the cat and the whole 'Mad Hatter killing time' thing. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: an interesting version. On some CD-booklets and merchandise, the main character's name is written with an additional questionmark to his name (resulting in "Alice?") to tell him apart from 'other' Alices. Of course, it also hints at the fact that he is still in the process of gaining this name or not. * [[Talking ~~With~~with Signs]]: Jack's only way of communication. * [[The Mad Hatter]]: He doesn't seem to be as mad as other versions, though, except for his obsession with his precious tea time. Later, it is revaled that he is actually {{spoiler\|Lewis Carroll, author of the original story}}. * [[The Wonderland]] Line 52 ⟶ 51: {{reflist}} [[Category:Manga]] [[Category:~~Are You Alice~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Manga of the 2010s]] [[Category:Video Games of the 2010s]] [[Category:This Index Asked You a Question]] [[Category:Video Game]]
