Gakuen Alice

Yeah, I know it's an old anime. But I'm not going to write about it's anime adaptation, but rather, the original manga.

For those who haven't watched this yet, I'll give you my warning. The anime is really short and you'll be left wanting a season 2. So I recommend that you read the manga first. 

Genre: Comedy, Supernatural,Romance, Drama
Written by: Higuchi Tachibana

SUMMARY...

Mikan Sakura and Hotaru Imai were the stars in their town. But everything will change when Hotaru is transferred to a mysterious and prestigious private school somewhere in Tokyo.

Worried about her best friend, Mikan Sakura went to Tokyo by herself. There she discovers Alice Academy, a school for "gifted" children. Little did she know that she is one of them herself. 

Mikan will discover new friends and classmates (and romance :D), and she will discover a little something about her past...

WHAT I THINK...

The author, Tachibana Higuchi, balanced the light and heavy aspects of the story perfectly. The plot is actually well developed, as you can really see the character's development from childhood to their teenage years. The manga teaches us that not everything in life is happy or wonderful, but at the same time it teaches us that everything will turn out alright. 

You'll never get tired of  it. Every chapter leaves you wanting more and I assure you that you will finish the whole 31 volumes in no time!!!

I really enjoyed reading the anime. I am patiently (kind of) waiting for the final chapter of the manga to be released. Please, Tachibana Higuchi, release it already!!!
