Rate this book
There are many worlds in the universe outside of our own, connected by doors that are hidden to the eye. but if you chance upon those doors, you can be transported to a place where supple beauties reign supreme and all of your fantasies come allve. Should you pass through the doorways, be most careful, for the creatures you will meet can be as dangerous as they are beautiful. Many would die for a glimpse at those worlds--Miyuki would do anything to have them go away.

CLAMP originally began in 1989 as a twelve-member dōjinshi circle, but by 1990, the circle had diminished from twelve to seven. Of the remaining seven, Tamayo Akiyama, Sei Nanao, and Leeza Sei left the group during the production of the RG Veda manga. Other former members of CLAMP also included Soushi Hishika, O-Kyon, Kazue Nakamori, Yuzuru Inoue and Shinya Ōmi. Currently, there are four members in the group.

In 2004, CLAMP's 15th anniversary as a mangaka group, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively. The August 2004 issue of Newtype USA, a magazine specializing in events of the anime and manga subcultures, reported that the members of CLAMP simply wanted to try out new names. In a later interview with Ohkawa, it was revealed that initially Mokona wanted to drop her surname because it sounded too immature for her liking, while Nekoi disliked people commenting that her name was the same as Mick Jagger's. Ohkawa and Igarashi, wanting to go with the flow of Nekoi's and Mokona's name changes, changed their names as well.

In 2006, they made their first USA public debut at Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. They were well received at the convention, with 6,000 fans in attendance at their panel.

Poor Miyuki-Chan! Not only is she stuck in a never-ending absurd manga, but I feel as though her book is vastly misunderstood.

Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland features pretty and proper Miyuki - a high schooler who, in each chapter, finds herself in a new kind of fantasy world. While the first two chapters represent the two books of Alice in Wonderland, Miyuki isn't spared also being thrown into other worlds such as the Movie World, Video Game World, and even the final chapter is dedicated to Miyuki ending up in creator CLAMP's own apocalyptic work of the X 1999 world.

Each world leaves Miyuki to fend for herself, or more specifically her clothes. This book features a cast that consists entirely of female characters - most of whose goal seems to be getting Miyuki undressed one way or another, be that via strip mahjong or simply a fight to the, well, last one dressed. If at this point it isn't clear yet that this is a comedy, one just needs to look at the absurdity of pairing this work with X 1999 which is clearly at the complete other end of the genre spectrum - a more depressing manga is hard to find.

Does Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland have a big plot? No. Does it need a big plot? No. It's a short seven-chapter manga that really just throws Miyuki into one rediculous predicament after the other. If you can't loosen up and just take it with humour, then I guess this manga really is a miss. As for myself, I can appreciate the humour around Miyuki's prime worry of no longer being eligible for marriage as she is thrown into yet another world of lunacy. I find it hilarious that each chapter indicates a 'Not again!' sentiment from Miyuki and how they all conclude with the caption of 'Never End'.

So, as I started off saying - poor Miyuki! Her design is adorable, I love the art throughout, but she will be forever stuck in this cycle of nonsense and the humour behind it isn't even properly appreciated.

Ok, fuera del contenido erótico y fanservice, esta es una historia que tenía mucho potencial de no ser porque parecía que las iban correteando. Todo va muy rápido y por momentos no se entiende nada.
El trabajo de arte como siempre, es una delicia.

WTF.
No hay mucha historia, Miyuki cae en un mundo distinto en cada capítulo y siempre encuentra mujeres en diferentes atuendos extraños (pero relacionados con el mundo en el que están) que buscan desvestirla.
Es todo con actitud humorística, aunque no es mi tipo de humor, y para el tercer capítulo ya me había aburrido de lo mismo.
Sí me gustaron algunas parodias a sí mismas que hicieron las CLAMP, pero más allá de eso y que los dibujos son lindos como siempre, sólo puedo repetir: WTF.

Very little plot, extremely repetitive. Just chapter after chapter of Miyuki running away from fantasy lesbians. I always ignored Clamp when I was younger, and tbh I don't think this short manga really serves as a good example of what Clamp maybe can do. However I do think I want to try more from them.

There a lot of anime and manga concerning the trope of an innocuous object of passion being pursued and groped by various outrageously attractive people. Often that object is reluctant, scared by the aggressive pursuit, even if s/he/they are attracted to their pursuers in turn.

This is what Miyuki-chan in Wonderland is about. It’s an eternal chase. Miyuki-chan goes from world to world; Wonderland, Looking-Glass Land, TV Land, Part-Time Job Land, Mah-jongg Land, Video Game Land, and X Land; only to be coveted, groped, pursued by the various beauties there. (I can just imagine the movie audience in X Land thinking Miyuki-chan is having a much easier time than Kamui did. I can also imagine Kamui and Fuuma snuggling together amidst the audience with a tub of popcorn, very glad it’s Miyuki-chan up there on the screen and not them.) In all of these worlds Miyuki-chan is in continual flight from the beauties that pursue her. It’s an eternal game of chase except for the few times she actually decides to fight back or interact with the setting. At which moments she finds herself on the cusp of being a super hero or transforming into something greater than she is.

I find myself wondering if there’s some greater message beneath the seemingly light-hearted sexy romp. Don’t run from your dreams. Accept them even if it means you will change.

Miyuki-chan never accepts this. Yes, you could dismiss this all as simply non-consensual or dubiously consensual foreplay where Miyuki-chan is preyed up by various women meant to titilate. I think there’s more to it. All the worlds she goes to are fantasy. All of the women she encounters are larger than life in their scantily-clad sex appeal. There’s one very telling panel amidst all the seductive images of fantasy with Miyuki-chan as a reluctant object of passion amidst voluptious beauties. It’s of Miyuki-chan in the locker room with a bunch of other girls changing into their swimsuits. None of the other girls are looking at her, even though she’s sneaking peeks at all of them.

I wonder if that’s Miyuki-chan’s reality? She’s an innocent high school girl who’s never had a boyfriend. She has a part-time job, a perfect attendance record. She plays a little mah-jongg with her family, a video game from time to time, goes to the movies (alone, it seems), and reads a comic or two.

She may be a perfectly ordinary girl who doesn’t stand out that much from other ordinary girls. She’s lonely and bored. She’s created this rich fantasy world, multiple rich fantasy worlds where she’s coveted, desired, and pursed by the objects of her own desire. Only she’s embarrassed and ashamed by her own desires. She’s even convinced herself that they’re icky. This is why she runs from them, she’s always running, and she can never escape.

There may be a sad truth behind the comedy, and yes, the skirt may be a symbol of sexual oppression as Satsuki said in the omake. Or perhaps repression? There’s hope in moments when Miyuki-chan stops and faces the objects of her desire. She may yet take control of her own life, be the hero of her own life rather than the one who always screams for help from someone else.

Or maybe CLAMP are just obsessed with skirts as they tease in the omake. :) Or at least they decided to have fun with skirts and femme fatales for this one project.

Whichever it is, I enjoyed this particular romp, this eternal chase. I can still enjoy lightness while reading a deeper meaning into the story, consider the crossover possibilities, possibilites which were suggested not only in this, but in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. What if Miyuki-chan found Chii from Chobits? What if Miyuki-chan had been Chii’s “someone for me”? (No offense, Hideki.) This might have forced Miyuki-chan to stop running and face her desires while dealing with the direct and innocent courage of a vulnerable beauty like Chii in her hands, pricking at Miyuki-chan’s sense of responsibility. It’s a possibility which occurred to me after buying the CLAMP chess pieces. Miyuki-chan has so much potential to grow, yet the eternal chase is part of her dliemma, part of the fun.

Regardless the anime (which is beautiful and has great music) was a welcome distraction during an acutely painful part of my life. Thank you, CLAMP for providing this cheerful release from that pain. Both the anime and the manga hold a special place in my heart as a result.

I'm giving three stars because the drawings are beautiful as in every Clamp Manga, so: 2 stars for the drawings, one star for the stories.

But this one's really disappointing and really laking a good plot.

I'm a huge fan of the whole "Alice in Wonderland" theme but in this manga...there art 8 shorts stories and I think it would have been better to make one full oneshot with the Wonderland theme instead of these stories...

Every story was only about getting Miyuki-chan naked...and there were a lot of sexy, half-naked women in every story...it was plain and boring and it would be more fun if there actually would have been a plot!

Funny was the story in X Land because there were all the so loved characters from X.

An early fan-service set of stories from CLAMP where the adorable Miyuki-chan ends up in various worlds (or has fantasies?) and gets played around with by beautiful women. Everything about this is fan-service and fun, and refreshingly free of any guys. It’a rated older teen but there’s not even a flash of boob, just beautiful designs and suggestive poses.

I, ah... really liked it :>

I'm not a manga fan, but love Alice in Wonderland so this one found its way to me. It's about a half naked teenager who keeps getting popped into another world where other half naked women try molesting her. Not the greatest plot in the world.

What the hell, CLAMP? Your art is great as always here, but what possessed you to write these stories? I mean, come on. You’re better than this!!

But anyway...so glad I did not buy and read this one way back when it first came out. I was 13 when this first came out, I think, so I avoided this one because $10 plus tax for such a small volume just didn’t appeal to me. (How did I ever collect manga when I could get only 2 to 3 volumes every two weeks? The world will never know!!) I ended up buying this one used for 6 or 7 dollars because I’m trying to do a “Great CLAMP Reread” and also because I want to own all their series at some point. But if this weren’t a CLAMP manga I would send it off in my next Half Price Books cull, sad to say.

Este manga pasa sin pena ni gloria.

La idea estaba muy interesante, ver a Miyuki pasar por mundos (y también por mundos de Clamp) realmente valía mucho la pena, pero pasa poco y nada al mismo tiempo, a cada rato está corriendo que hasta te poner a leer más rápido, por la premura que causa, y ni llega al destino, se hace bolas, entra y sale del mundo en un parpadeo y volvemos a empezar.

Lo siento no me gustó, ni siquiera conocimos a Miyuki, mucho menos los mundos. Y la historia acababa antes de siquiera pensar en ello.

Perdón, creo que este manga solo es para coleccionistas acerrimos de CLAMP

[Re-read] this manga popped into my head randomly while I was reading something entirely unrelated and I impulsively tracked it down online and reread it to see if it was as unhinged and horny as I remembered it being and...it was!

I was waaaaay too young when I originally read this (and continued to reread it over and over again), and I feel like it explains a lot.

Most of the stars I'm giving it are for the nostolgia/awakening. I don't think this holds up today, but dang, this manga had a chokehold on me many years ago, and so many images were permanently burned into my brain. WTF CLAMP haha.

Bad bad so bad.mp3
Beautiful art BUT in here the extreme sexualization of all the girls, wich try to get Miyuki naked all the time against her will and keep harassing her through the history, was really upsetting to me.
*Bela arte MAS aqui a sexualização de todas as garotas, que tentam deixar a Miyuki nua o tempo todo contra sua vontade e continuam assediando ela ao longo da história, foi muito chato para mim.

I was searching up Clamp on my library app, and this title showed up. I went into it knowing nothing, and it was super weird. The story is kind of an Alice in Wonderland spin off. However, there’s no plot, just different alternate realities dream sequences that have no link. It’s Clamp so the art is fantastic and the costumes look fabulous. But, it’s oddly a lot of lingerie and sexualization. I was confused. Just enjoy the art knowing that it’s sexy with no story. 2/5.

Just re-read a bunch of CLAMP mangas and the feeling was so nostalgic.
When I was a kid I would watch religiously Cardcaptor Sakura and Angelic Layer, after that I would start to enjoy the darker side of CLAMP with Tokyo Babylon and X/1999. My entire childhood was defined by them, and after that my teenage years, much of what I know about story telling is from their stories and I couldn't been happier about it.

I have read/watched alot of Alice adaptations, one interpretation is that Alice is having a bad trip of some sort. This feels just like that, a very psychedelic horny feverdream. Although I loved the guts that was needed to publish this and the absurdity made me laugh, I cannot in good faith say it is in any way comparable to their other works. It was funny, but I honestly have no idea what i just read.

No sé si se supone que está dirigido a hombres, estaría interesante que fuera a mujeres pero aun así y hasta para la época está medio fuerte, diría.

Si se ve desde la perspectiva "divertida" están interesantes las historias cortas. Medio recuerda a que Sakura en Clear Card también está muy inspirada en Alicia, o cuando The Loop también aparece en Sakura.

Y la historia con X está mega genial. La de los videojuegos recuerda a las Rayearth y el RG Veda.

Il prototipo per la nascita di due grandi serie successive è proprio questo: Miyuki.
Protagonista è l'omonima fanciulla che con l'ingenuità di un' "Alice nel paese delle meraviglie" ci trascina in più mondi tragicamente corrotti dall'indecenza dei personaggi secondari che cercano di sedurla e sfizziosissimo davvero!

Le storie sono carine e divertenti anche se non molto approfondite ovviamente. Le situazioni irreali in cui si ritrova la povera Miyuki suscitano ilarità e i disegni sono davvero spettacolari. Ho adorato in modo particolare la pagine iniziali a colori e i dettagli negli outfit dei personaggi femminili estremamente sexy e provocanti.

this would be the go-to type of book for the inbredders and the weirdos. i think nonsensical humor is funny but this was just not it. a teenage girl getting molested, stripped and smothered by a bunch of, assumably, adult women is not funny. i'm sorry baby, you're just weird. seek help.

i love clamp's artwork but i don't know what the fuck they were smoking when they made this shit.

This book is wack. Not even a good short story short read. It has no plot what so ever & these people are just violating her. Not even sexy just the wrong kind of sexy. I have nothing wrong with nudity but this is just terrible story plot. It’s all just girls too.

La historia SIN FIN que nos presentan es genial.corta y divertida.

Muy en la línea de los clásicos de CLAMP...Dibujos preciosos, situaciones desternillantes...e historia casi nula con patrones repetitivos. Nada que ver con Chobits (mi obra favorita), pero aun así disfruto de estos tomos autoconclusivos de vez en cuando.

Picked this up from a car boot sale without knowing anything about it other than that it was by CLAMP.

Fan service is not for me, and the plots were pretty lacking, but the art was pretty and it's kinda gay, even if it is quite male-gazey.

I fell in love with this all over again!

In the beginning, I didn’t know that this manga was yuri-themed, and I didn’t see the anime version until I out of my teens! This is a masterpiece that deserves an English version of the anime. I’m glad I bought this!
