Mikan Sakura - a 10 year-old girl living in northern Japan with her grandpa - is very energetic, clumsy, and has a happy-go-lucky attitude. She loves her best friend, Hotaru Imai, who is very rational and intelligent. He may sometimes appear to be rude and cold but inside she also loves Mikan a lot.



Suddenly one day...Hotaru is transferred to this strange and forbidding school in Tokyo called Alice Academy. Anguished at being left behind by Hotaru, Mikan decides to follow her best friend to Alice Academy.



However, upon arriving there, Mikan makes a strange discovery...

The story develops greatly as Mikan herself has finally been accepted by her classmates. It's the matter of from hate to like. Characters in Gakuen Alice grow, mentally.

But the thing that makes Gakuen Alice very enjoyable to watch has got to be the presentation of how each students perform their own Alice. I still can't forget the scenes where Narumi-sensei uses his pheromone to solve his problems.

Mikan's reaction to some certain things is also a plus. Exaggeration is the word.

Besides main characters, side characters maintains the same and they don't really stand out alone. Usually they're always there as comic reliefs.

Overall, not very tense while watching so it's pretty good.
