“What is the truth behind the story ‘Alice in Wonderland’?” That was the common question that rose to the thought of a young boy named Oz Suiga, after reading the whole story of Alice in Wonderland. The strange book’s last page caught his eye and it was torn apart. By following a black-fur rabbit hop across their yard, he saw himself facing at a very big tree. A big black hole suddenly appeared under him and saw him falling – falling down endlessly on the black hole.

When regained conscious and woke up, Oz found himself lying on the ground. Everything in sight was creepy. The sky was black, and the clouds were purple. The trees were twisted and had no leaf on it. The path was the only shining brightly; gleaming yellow. Oz finally found himself in the other world – probably not his world. As he was trying to find an answer where he is, why he was there and what can he do to go back, he met six different kids in his age in his journey.

These six kids don’t speak, or would utter a single word, sentence or phrase. But nonetheless, they don’t have any expression on their face. They were all called “ALICE”’s because of they each don’t have names, and they rule one part of the strange world by themselves with some weird hobbies. Oz just learned he must stay away from the “Queen” if he didn’t want to stay like them and become ALICE as well – that’s what he figured out in their clues. The Queen and her kingdom eventually brings bad memories back to the six ALICEs, as they would wail and become frightened when they heard the Queen’s guard and herself was coming.

The only way for Oz, as well as the other six nameless ALICEs, to go back to their real world – is to kill the Queen, which was a tough task. With the help of the ALICEs’ powers, together they attacked the kingdom and faced the Queen, who turned herself into a very powerful and hungry beast that won’t let anyone escape her precious “X Land” – the twisted, upside-down and real Wonderland from the famous novel, ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Can they escape? Will Oz become the 7th ALICE?
