Alice & Zouroku (2017– )
8/10
A wholesome take on an incomplete but functional family

What is the world to do with those different and more powerful than itself? Much much more powerful.

Apparently not a lot; the world is often times oblivious to those who possess such "gifts" and they are seldom even mentioned let alone known.

Just who and what are those gifted such? I'm not telling; suffice to say there are always generic "bad guys" who are extremely secretive and seek to exploit these persons for "greater" good.

Hence begins a heart-warming tale of Sana, and her encounter with the outside world. There's only one little problem; she's never been "outside" and never experienced real contact with others outside her "family" of researchers.

Thus, this adorable little girl, who has almost omnipotent power, fortuitously meets an elderly gentleman who hates crooked stuff, and goes on to offer her adoption into his family as his second granddaughter. The first being another lovely young child called Sanae (!). Mr Zorouku then starts to treat Sana as his own, combining his gruff and taciturn demeanour with a warm loving heart.

Thus awakens in Sana feelings foreign to her; acceptance, belonging and expectation. She saw tough love at work and she begins to care and love the old man deeply and see Sanae as her own big sister.

Enjoy the childish banter and exchanges as one would expect from a young child and rejoice vicariously as we see Sana grow as a person and learns responsibility.

Chortle as you see her tremble in the presence of Zorouku and runs to cling him because she both fears his discipline but loves him dearly at the same time!

Enjoy!
