Are you Alice? - Graffiti Covered


Are you Alice? - Graffiti Covered

Company: IM Label
Based on: Original.
Official Site: http://imlabel.jp/alice/


In Are you Alice a male Alice wanders into wonderland and is subsequently involved in 'the game to kill the white rabbit'. Alice his story is told in three drama CDs - Drink me, Check Mate, and Call me- but there are several expansions to the story. This is one of the side dramas for Are you Alice? that you got if you bought all Unbirthday Scraps directly from IM Label.


Warning: somewhat of a spoiler just ahead.


It starts with Alice (CV: Sakurai Takahiro) wandering around in the rain and nothingness that his world reverted to, complaining that Carrol isn't writing (and thus not continuing the story) when he finds someone with his head stuck in the ground.

After being indirectly insulted he helps the poor thing out, and it turns out it is a 'rakugaki', meaning graffiti, a scribble on the side of a page. Due it being a scribble Rakugaki (CV: Mizuta Wasabi) is a bit off an oddball (both in looks and in character) but Alice agrees to help it find shelter from the rain.

The conversation between Rakugaki and Alice is brilliant. Rakugaki is both a bit of an oddball and doesn't know much about the world so that makes for brilliant conversations. Near the end it suddenly becomes a little more serious however.


Conclusion:
Together with "no Name" and "Bristle Grass" this shows what happened to Alice after the events of the main story, making it interesting to listen to. From these three this is by far the funniest one to listen to, the other ones are a bit more serious. Only recommended if you've finished listening to the main story.
