Latest Addiction...: )

This is my latest addiction. It is titled Alice Academy or Gakuen Alice. I like it because it gives the feeling of lightness while you know that something dark lurks in the plot. The characters in the story, or rather the characters of the individuals in the story captivates me. Mikan, the leading character for one is not my type of a person. She is so noisy and energetic, I'll be annoyed with her around. Eventhough, she was able to get on the good side of almost everybody, no matter how gradual by doing good and heroic deeds. Imagine jumping across two flying...errr...chickens to save a boy because she doesn't want the name of Hotaru--her best friend and inventor of the mechanical chickens that the boy is riding on--to be tainted beacsue of the accident. Isn't that brave? I wouldn't do it for the same reason it was done. Well, speaking of Hotaru, that's one character she got there! She is smart--an honor student--and...uhmm...kinda apathetic. Other people can describe her as a cold hearted creature. She is Mikan's bestfriend and she cares for her is her own way. There are other inting characters as well, but this entry is not made to tell all of them. hehe...
Alice Academy, on the other hand is a school for "gifted" students, more like students with special abilities. It is not a hidden organization or anything but a formal institution. However, in the story, it seems that the Academy is not as good as it seems. I say, things will get darker as time passes by. As of now, I really want to find an english version of its manga series. I am too impatient to wait for it on animax once a week!
