NEW GAKUEN ALICE CHRISTMAS ILLUSTRATION BY HIGUCHI TACHIBANA 🎄

[acryline]

I wish A Portrait of M and N's last two volumes were in English. I read some of the story when I was 14. I just want to finish it.

this is what i mean when i say ruka's arc is left hanging open, where even this far along, he still doesn't view himself as useful to natsume.

I got the first two volumes of Champignon Witch by Tachibana Higuchi (Gakuen Alice's mangaka)! You can't really tell on the picture but the mushrooms are all sparkly, it's so cute!

Thoughts on Gakuen Alice/Tachibana Higuchi's works in general? I feel as though I remember the works fondly because I was younger, and feel like I should revisit them to see if they hold up, but I'm always open to other opinions/readings

Hi hi! Oh interesting, I can absolutely see why you'd have strong feelings about Higuchi Tachibana's works from childhood. I think Gakuen Alice in particular stands out as one of those series that really grabbed a lot of people's attention when it started because it was fun but not afraid to tackle some darker aspects inherent in its super powered system.

Plus Higuchi could always write fantastic chemistry between compelling characters, even in M to N no Sekai there were so many things about the protagonists that irked me but I absolutely couldn't look away. That's a writer who knows how to keep you hooked!

I think probably my biggest issue with her works is that they can drag and that's part of why Gakuen Alice doesn't stand up as well to me in retrospect. It really could have been 10 volume shorter, but it was a popular title so I don't doubt her editors were keen for it to continue for as long as possible.

I'll be completely honest and admit that I haven't been following her most recent series, Champignon no Majo, but all the art I've seen from it has been ADORABLE. She's got a real talent for illustrating the most exquisite little details in flowers and mushrooms, so I probably should start reading it as it looks like she's hit a new artistic stride that really gels with her existing style.

So yeah, Higuchi's works probably came into my life a little too late for them to be extremely formative for me but I can absolutely see why they hold a special place in people's hearts.

I'm a bit under the weather (hence the rambling, sorry) so I was about to go to bed but I am very tempted to crack open Manga Park and get to reading Champignon no Majo. The atmosphere just in this page (spoilers!) is off the charts! :O So thank you for sending me down a new rabbit hole!

If you'd be willing to share I'd love to hear more about what made her works stand out to you when you were younger.

[ashxketchum]

the fact that these two characters were my peak obsession some 14-15 years ago says a lot about my type because

LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE SO- ugh i can't explain it

anyway what i'm trying to say is that kuroshitsuji fans that haven't yet read gakuen alice need to read it and gakuen alice fans who haven't yet read kuroshitsuji need to read it because i'm telling you right now, no one puts these extremely blorbable boys through excruciating angst the way higuchi tachibana and yana toboso do THOSE GIRLIES GET IT !!
