Gakuen Alice Rocks!

How far would you go just to follow your best friend?


Our protagonist Mikan Sakura answers this question with a single answer: Forever. Isn't that too much to handle? Mikan embarks on a journey to the world's most peculiar school: Gakuen Alice [Alice Academy].



From the country, Mikan, whose school was closed, travels to the city where her one and only best friend named Imai Hotaru went to. She didn't know that she posseses this thing called Alice, some sort of a special ability possesed by the students and faculty there. She learns from a Narumi-sensei that she's actually qualified to study there, meets Hyuga Natsume, a troublesome kid and all the weird faculty and students.



Adjusting was so hard for her. She needs to pass an entrance test, and through the help of Hotaru and Ruka-pyon with their class president Yuu, she successfully ends the test with flying colors. Her Alice is Nullifying, wehre she cannot accept any Alice from others using her will. She was totally outcast by her classmates, but somehow as time passes by, she gets to befriend them, especially the hard Natsume.



She finally gets to have her own group, the Special Ability Types. She meets Tsubasa, a guy who's Alice is to manipulate shadows [like Nara Shikamaru of Naruto]. Some others who have the ability to duplicate or more their bodies [like Kage Bunshin], make someone laugh without any joke, create images through their minds, and so on, belong to this group.



As the series approached to its ending, you'll learn the real purpose why the school was built. It was not purely nice in purpose. Mikan and the rest unfolds this, and her friendship with Hotaru is confirmed and made stronger than ever.
