Gakuen Alice is HIGUCHI Tachibana's current manga serial. It runs in Hana to Yume magazine (Hakusensha) along with series like Skip Beat! or Fruits Basket. HIGUCHI's previous series was titled M to N no Shousou and before that she had a one volume short story called Swan Lake. She has a very personal style and likes using fairytales in her stories as well as "quaint Europe" themes and styles for some of her illustrations. Her stories range from the totally humorous to quite heart touching.

Mikan is a 10 year old outspoken girl who lives in the middle of nowhere on northern Japan. After her best friend is taken to a special school in Tokyo, Mikan decides to follow her and learns that not only the school's students all have special powers but that she also has one herself! Thus start the adventures of Mikan, her friend, her enemies and the violent teddy bear that lives in the forest. Will Mikan be able to survive not only the wacky moments of this school comedy but also the dangerous situations that arise?
