学園アリス / Gakuen Alice

review 1: I came to these manga by the anime, having been introduced to the charming series by my boyfriend, who is always trying to broaden my anime-horizons (I'm not the biggest fan, to be honest, as most anime tends to be either too perverse or opaque for me. My manga experience has also been limited to, I'll admit, the entire run of SailorMoon, even when it got boring and stupid, and a copy of Dragonball Z here and there.) The Gakuen Alice series, of a 10 year-old girl whose love for her best friend has her running away from her country home to the big city, is smart and funny, bringing new life to the boarding-school/magical-kids genre. I'd been looking for the books for a while, and was gratified to find that the larger chain bookstores had recently begun carrying them (Vol 5 ... moredue out in December!) I wasn't entirely sure whether the anime had provided a faithful translation, and while there are differences, both versions of the story have proven very entertaining. The manga, in particular, is packed with funny little comments from the author: imagine Harry Potter with a dash of Gossip Girl snark. Overall, a lovely book that made me laugh out loud and tear up in a span of pages. Highly recommended.
review 2: Love this series. It is so cute. This volume had me laughing. Poor Mikan with Natsume in this volume. In one way we see another side of Natsume that he does look out for his friends in another way we see him teasing poor Mikan. This volume has them having the school festival all of the different division in the school have to do something. Mikan group comes up with a really neat maze you have to go through, the Prez group has a haunted house and Hotaru makes a really cook machine for hers (Luca is so cute walking through the Haunted house with a bunny). Also in this volume you find out a little more about Hotaru family. If you like Manga and want something cute and fun to read I suggest this series. less
