Gakuen Alice is about Mikan, a girl who follows her friend Hotaru to Alice Academy. Alice Academy is a school for children with strange gifts. These children and the abilities they possess are called Alices. Mikan finds out that she is an Alice as well.
Gakuen Alice is, without a doubt, pretty original. Its pretty funny too. The art and character designs are cute though backgrounds are more functional than attractive. Really the only problems I have are 1. There is too much dialogue crammed into the panels. Almost every panel is much too crowded, which detracts from the art and the story. 2. The main characters are around 10 years old, so why is it rated teen? And by the way, it is rated teen for good reason. The children in Gakuen Alice know of things they probably shouldn't know of, which also detracted from the manga, for me. Still it is a funny and entertaining shojo.
Recommended to: Manga fans 13+ Girls and boys can enjoy this one.
