Wishlist Thursday[112]: Alice in Murderland by Kaori Yuki and Chaika: The Coffin Princess



Alice in Murderland 1 by Kaori Yuki

Publisher: Yen Press

Release Date: June 23, 2015

Volumes: 3+





Goodreads Synopsis:



Now! Let the "Mad Tea Party" begin!

The Kuonji clan, owner of one of the world's top conglomerates, has a tradition: Once a month, family members attend a "Mad Tea Party." But at the latest gathering, the nine Kuonji siblings in attendance are shocked to hear a pronouncement issue from the lips of their mother, Olga-

"I'd like you children to now fight one another to the death!"

As chaos erupts, Stella, the fourth daughter, loses all reason, and suddenly a whole new Stella, complete with blonde hair and blue dress, comes out to play-!!



Why?:

I am so ridiculously excited for this. I have read most of Kaori Yuki’s series, and am really enjoying the hardback editions of Demon From Afar that Yen Press is releasing. I love her artwork and her twisty, dark, gothic stories. And now a series, by her, based on Alice in Wonderland? This sounds amazing. I hadn’t realized it was coming out so soon, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Chaika: The Coffin Princess 1 by Ichirou Sakaki and Shinta Sakayama

Publisher: Yen Press

Release Date: June 23, 2015

Volumes: 5.





Goodreads Synopsis:



Five years of inconceivable peace after two hundred years of war left erstwhile saboteur Toru Acura without a job or a meaning in life--until he saves a mysterious wizard with a coffin on her back. But when the coffin-wielding, silver-haired Chaika Trabant hires Toru and his sister, Akari, to accompany her on a death-defying journey, Toru's life of mind-numbing, meaningless peace is about to end!



Why?:

I hadn’t really heard of this series until the license was announced, but the hype for it has caught my attention. The art looks pretty, and the storyline sounds pretty interesting. I’m intrigued, and looking forward to trying it out.

Have these caught your eye?
