Note: LOL Scans is now (from Aug 19 onwards) delaying their releases on Bato.to about a month from their original release dates on their own manga reading site. To read their releases without any delay one needs to create account on LOL Scans website and become a member there. (From a post on Bato.to)

Side notes: The art tells you the truth that this is a shounen though there are strong elements that could tie it with shoujo with so many males (like reverse harem). The art isn't refined to the point as it is with shoujo but it's still okay to read and charas seem fun (tough a bit cliched) making me think about the story of Robin Hood (Disney version) more than Alice in Wonderland. I liked the first chapter even with its stereotypical setting and I'll be checking how this manga continues as the next chapter comes available.^-^
