help Gakuen Alice FAQ
What exactly is an Alice in Gakuen Alice?
An Alice is a supernatural talent, such as Hotaru Imai's ability to invent advanced devices or Natsume Hyuuga's fire powers. Alice Academy classifies students by both ability type and power level.
Why does Mikan enter Alice Academy if she seems ordinary?
Mikan follows Hotaru to the academy because she cannot accept their sudden separation. She is then discovered to possess a rare Alice of her own, making it difficult for her to leave.
Does the Gakuen Alice anime finish the manga's story?
No. The Group TAC adaptation has 26 television episodes and covers only an early portion of Tachibana Higuchi's much longer manga, which ultimately reached 31 collected volumes.
Is Gakuen Alice mainly a school comedy or a dark fantasy?
It begins as a bright school comedy centered on 10-year-old Mikan, Hotaru, Natsume, and Luca. The academy's control over children and Natsume's treatment introduce darker material, but the anime stops before many of the manga's most serious arcs.
