Let's Talk Anime -- "Gakuen Alice"

When I was little, I liked anime heroines with big, round eyes, and I was drawn in by the cute heroine on the cover. The title itself screams 'school drama,' and basically, the female lead transfers schools, and the protagonist (X) secretly transfers to that school to find her. This show starts off very lighthearted, with cheerful music and a bright, cute art style. However, the content is actually quite heavy. The protagonist transfers to this 'Alice Academy,' where everyone has their own 'Alice,' which is basically a 'superpower.' On her first day, she gets off on the wrong foot with the male lead (a popular figure) (a very typical romance drama setup). Then, he gets targeted by the male lead's devoted fans at school (a bit like bullying), and a teacher at the school has a bad impression of his 'nullification superpower,' giving him poor grades, making his life miserable. However, he later touches others with his very optimistic attitude. While he's like a little sun, he's not just a naive character. He has his own opinions and bravely protests things. What I remember vividly is that they are divided into four departments based on their Alices. He's in the 'Special Ability' department. There's a competition during the school festival, and everyone in that department had no hope for the competition, but the protagonist expressed her desire for everyone to work together and participate. She also came up with the idea of a live-action RPG game that only their department could pull off (I really wanted to play it too). Unfortunately, the anime only had one season. Because I really liked the main couple and was curious about the plot, I went to read the manga. It's really good. The story of the protagonist's parents is so tragic... and the protagonist later gains three superpowers. It also reveals the dark side of this academy.
