The premise is good , although it already relies a bit too heavily on Disney tropes. It could be a great introductory manga for upper elementary kids.

I am a life-long Disney fan, and I have also delved a bit into the world of manga. So, a marriage of the two sounded interesting. This particular manga is based on Twisted-Wonderland, a mobile video game. The opening chapters of the game are reflected in parts of this volume's adaptation.
The story handles well the classic "stranger in a strange land" trope - a strange land where classic Disney films are part of the history and the classic Disney villains are celebrated as leaders. I enjoy all of the references - from phrases ("off with your head") to locations (the cottage near the mine and a haunted mansion) and more.
The artwork is also very well done. Manga very often utilizes the school uniform style, but here we get it with stylistic flare. The inking is especially well-done, especially when it comes to patterns that help to make fabrics pop off the page.
This is a story I will be interested in continuing to follow as it unfolds. With so many different kingdoms introduced, there is plenty of material opportunity for years worth of releases.

I was surprised by this manga's direction with the Twisted -Wonderland game idea.
I love the idea of a team-building storyline, but this first volume was very mundane; it didn't do the job of a first volume to capture the attention enough. I would give the next volume a chance, but I do not want to continue.
A little disappointing. BUT I will say the art style is LOVELY!
