Gakuen Alice... My first ever manga... and boy how am I proud to have read this! It's a masterpiece. Full stop. Hands down. And let me tell you, that for me to say this is a big deal, because I'm a very harsh critic.


Story:

Just as I said for the anime. This story line is unique. This manga appears to be plain when you read the summary, but suddenly, at some point, the plot starts twisting and you find that it has become very deep and strange. In a good way. Very nice. A ten.


Art:

The manga's art was much better that the anime. I hated how the eyes were drawn in the anime, but here... oh how I love. They have this cute twinkle in the eyes. The art was very good in general as well and it deserves a nine.


Character:

The characters' development is one of the best things in this manga. How the characters interact, how they think, how they feel... it's all perfect. It doesn't hit you in the face as well. So it's not like one minute they're lifelong enemies then a second later they're best buddies for life. Nope, it's the natural kind of development. The one in which the characters' relationship grows without you realizing it, because it's so natural and realistic! The characters each have a unique personality as well, and you grow to love each character, even the evil ones. A -drum roll- ten!


Enjoyment:

You would definitely enjoy this anime, if you like action and stories that make you at the edge of your seat. Though I am warning you, it's very dark, and I personally didn't like the ending much. It was a good ending, but there was something that I wanted to know which I still don't know up until now. So if you are a sucker for happy ending -like me- you'll still like this manga. Niiiiiine.




All in all, this is definitely a must-watch and a priority. It has it's funny moments and it's serious moments. Just perfect. A story that will make you cry and laugh. And when it ends, you'll do both. Cry, sad that it has ended, and laugh, happy that you've read it and always remembering it in your heart.
