Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland

(Tokyopop, 2003)
™ and © CLAMP

It may seem quaint today, but once upon a time there was a genre devoted to innocent girls losing their clothes in sexually charged situations — girls who escaped unscathed. Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland is a throwback to those times, with the wrinkle of having these male (and, let’s admit, certain number of female) fantasies being produced by the female manga collective Clamp.

Their Japanese Alice keeps hallucinating herself into parody versions of everything from the movie Barbarella to one of their own comics (X), where incredibly long-legged ladies can’t wait to strip her down to her underpants.

It never goes that far, and, while the contents are decidedly unerotic, this is still one you shouldn’t show to Clamp’s core audience of 14-year-old girls. Still, you can’t complain about what you get for your money; for the price of a normal Tokyopop volume, you get 24 beautiful color pages.
