I'm so excited about this series. I picked it up not long ago (both 1 and 2) and I absolutely adore the series. I'm learning the violin so it made me even happier to see manga in this genre in the states. I'm really hoping they keep translating them, or I will become thoroughly sad.

I just recently picked up the first two volumes of Alice the 101st and I have to say that I enjoyed it enough to want to read more. I hope more volumes get released here soon.

Georges Saphir does make an appearance in the second volume, and that made me so happy! I am so in love with him and Robert that I wish they continue their relationship in this series.

[tsukimori]

don't Robert would appear again unless there is going to be a story about Georges but he did sort of appear in v2. This story centralizes on the academy and Robert is not a student there.

=_= i was crazy enough to buy a jap copy of v4 o_o i must say it's getting more and more interesting

SPOILERS (I don't know japanese but this is what I see and guessing) don't look at the white text if you don't want to find out: V4 school festival?? with Alice's class doing a Cinderella play with Alice as Cinderella and Richard as the prince. Georges is doing some 8 piano concert I think and Claire's class is doing some bunny cosplay thingy. In v3 Alice had some sleepover at Theo's house along with Vick. Seems like when Alice's hair is straight and not messy (bed head) he looks like a girl. Vick was sneaky enough to take a few pictures of straight hair Alice and showed it to a few classmates and Richard somehow got a hold of it and fell in love with 'the girl' (he didn't know it was Alice) back to V4 well near the end of the Cinderella play Richard faints when he found out that 'the girl' in the picture was Alice. Alice did an amazing musical performance to cover for Richard's mishap (him fainting which messed up the whole play). At the end everyone was amazed and cheered loudly at Alice's performance (Max was stunned with amazement)

Now I want to read the rest more and more! Hopefully DMP/DokiDoki license volumes 3 & 4. I am not sure how well it did in the market but hopefully good enough to get more.

[tsukimori]

well i think it got on the charts but it was like 200 something for comic or manga sales... the top positions are still the american comics though o_o have to look up the chart again i think i bookmarked it somewhere.
