I have just finished reading this series. I found the beginning confusing, and I believe that it was because the author was originally trying to steer the story in another direction, more akin to Tsubasa (by clamp, not the soccer manga). However, after about the 5th volume, things started to solidify and became coherent. Naturally, as with all re-inventions of Alice in Wonderland, there was a lot of fantastical beings and things that did not entirely make sense and that were not explained, such as where chains came from (the Abyss, but what made them?). The end of the series ends in three gradually larger volumes as each the 23 was supposed to be the last, but was not and the 24th was more than a double volume, as there was much to wrap up. Some things about wrapping up the story did not make full sense, but it was concise and did not leave the reader with more questions than answers. Overall, I enjoyed the series after getting past the first 5 volumes. The character development was well done, though as mentioned earlier, at some points, you can see where the plot was set to go in different directions, but was altered, and so some things the characters say and do are slightly off for a brief period of time. In all the re-inventions of Alice in Wonderland that I have read, this is the best manga series.
