Stranded in the world of Twisted Wonderland, Yu must brave a magical school filled with ghosts, monsters, and uncooperative students!
Still trying to get his friend Ace out of trouble, Yu attends one of Heartslabyul Dorm’s traditional unbirthday parties. But instead of solving Ace’s problems or having a bit of fun, they wind up incurring the wrath of the housewarden, Riddle!
Disney-Twisted Wonderland volume 3 will be released on March 12, 2024. VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.
Last year, I was able to review volume 1and volume 2 of this series. I am pleased to be able to continue to see how this story evolves.
Growing up, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass books were always favorites of mine. And, of course, I was a big fan of the 1951 Disney animated adaptation. I am pleased to see those elements of the latter that influenced the story and artwork in the series as a whole and this volume in particular.
This volume covers the next five chapters in this first book (chapters 12 to 16). In them, the reader sees the unraveling of Riddle and how everyone has to respond to the rapid spiraling decline. We get insight into the character as well as some important world-building details that I think will become a bigger issue as this manga continues to unfold.
It is also interesting to see the changes in the characters Trey and Cater (featured on this volume's cover) as they come to realize how tyrannical Riddle's rule of the Heartslabyul Dorm has become. We're also briefly introduced to a new character Chenya who is very inspired by the Cheshire Cat character from the original source material. I expect we'll see more of him in the future.
If you're a Disney fan and enjoy manga, this one is must-read.
