Alice in the Country of Hearts: Love Labyrinth of Thorns is one of many manga volumes based on the Alice in the Country of Hearts otome visual novel. Although it's a one-shot, if you're new to the franchise, I recommend starting with Yen Press's Alice in the Country of Hearts omnibus volumes.
Review:
Upon ending up in Wonderland, Alice managed to convince Julius to allow her to stay with him at the Clock Tower. Julius gripes about Alice getting underfoot but doesn't put any effort into making her leave. Alice makes him coffee and gets irritated when he says he doesn't like it, but despite his complaints, he always drinks it, even if it's become stone cold. However, something suddenly changes between them. For some reason Julius begins avoiding Alice and acting cold and distant towards her. When she confronts him about it, he tells her to leave, so she does. Nightmare decides to step in and put both of their feelings to the test.
