Alice in the Country of Hearts

Alice in the Country of Hearts

Kidnapped by a handsome man with rabbit ears, Alice Liddell finds herself abandoned in an odd place called Wonderland and thrust into a "game," the rules of which she has yet to learn. Alice, ever the plucky tomboy, sets off to explore and get the lay of this strange land, intent on finding her rude kidnapper and giving him a piece of her mind (and her fist). But little does she know that she's wandered right into the middle of a dangerous power struggle involving just about all of Wonderland's attractive, weapon-happy denizens. And the only way for Alice to return home is to get acquainted with the lot of them?! How in the world will she manage that and still manage to stay alive?!

If you like reverse harem shoujo manga based on Alice in Wonderland, you'll want to read Heart no Kuni no Alice.

In Shiro Ari and Heart no Kuni no Alice, the heroine doesn't exactly have a perfect life at home, feeling like she doesn't belong. Concerned about her happiness, her admirer forcefully plucks her from her world and into a fantasy world of faceless/nameless NPCs as second-rate citizens and named major players involved in an ongoing turf war where things are done backwards or illogically. Insane ikemen characters from Alice in Wonderland, like a mysterious man with long black hair and a pleasantly smiling sadist, are at first hostile and then intrigued by her status as a foreigner in the country she's fallen into.  

Life and death are treated differently here with named characters who age slowly in Shiro Ari's Mirror land and lifespans determined by one's clock heart in Heart no Kuni no Alice's Wonderland. The sad thing is how named characters can be relegated to nameless status if they lose the game in Shiro Ari and how everyone's role is replacable in Heart no Kuni no Alice. The heroine is like no other in this strange country as she cares about preserving the lives of even the faceless/nameless. Though she was threatened with a gun pointed to her face when she first arrived, the citizens of the country fall for her over time.

As an outsider and neutral party, the heroine is in an important position to lend help to either side win the game. She becomes more involved in this conflict as she tries to find a way to get out of the world she's stuck in and back to her own.  Both Shiro Ari and Heart no Kuni no Alice have a male yandere (or two) and lots of crazy gun fights and wandering around lost in the weird Wonderland forest. 

Snow White with the Red Hair

Snow White with the Red Hair

Shirayuki is a spunky pharmacist with bright, apple-red hair unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Even the prince of the kingdom she lives in is entranced by her locks, and demands that she become his concubine. Not wanting to be viewed as an object prized purely for its novelty, Shirayuki flees civilization and heads towards the forest. Here, the girl meets the charming Zen, who rescues her from Prince Raji's clutches and reveals that he is a prince as well. The two become close friends, and Shirayuki decides to return to Zen's castle with him, to pursue her dreams. But becoming a palace pharmacist isn't easy, especially since her unusual hair color and close relationship with the prince tend to draw unwanted attention...

If you're interested in cute shoujo manga with a heroine loosely based on Snow White, Shiro Ari and Akagami no Shirayukihime will fit the bill. Both start off alluding to the Snow White fairy tale but develop into their own stories very quickly. In the beginning, the heroine has unwanted attention drawn to her due to her unusual hair color. Later, she meets a blond-haired boy who sees her past her hair color. The boy is important to the ruling of the country and the girl is drawn into the country's politics.

But as she crossed path with Sylvie and the beautiful (but very naughty) fairy princess, circumstances change...
