I was actually planning on getting this anyway (even though I'm not a fan of the original novel), but I wanted to read your review.

I do enjoy reverse harems, but only if the heroine has an actual personality and not generic traits like being nice. The fact that Dorothy appears to actually question her situation instead of meekly going along with it is very promising.

Funnily enough, while I don't much care for the movie and I've never read the book, I'm really fond of (good) Oz adaptations. I think it's just all that intricate lore being explored in more nuanced ways than the movie's more binary, black-and-white perspective.

And of course, it doesn't hurt that Captive Hearts seems to have shades of Princess Tutu in it either. Anime hyper

Tho Long before Quinrose... Rejet has already made a wizard of Oz otome game/manga franchise called Ozmafia(it even has an ONA). Quinrose heroines are different from the old gaudy stereotypical reverse harem type of characters(coughs* Voltage Inc) no one is actually a Marry Sue-type, quinrose heroines are weird, smart, cool and strong. Like Alice(HnKNA) and Wendy(Peter Pan) the same author, both girls have similar distinguishable Quinrose traits. In this case I can already see that Dorothy has the same personality, I'll be looking forward to it.
