Gakuen Alice 17

Mikan goes with Luca-pyon and Natsume to have fun at the school festival and visits Hotaru's shop in the 技術系 area. But an accident brings Hotaru's brother, one of the school principals in...

And he's an example of what happens after you've been at that school for a while. Cold, unfeeling, almost machine-like responses, never really felt a need to see his parents after being sent to Gakuen Alice... Hotaru, however, won't become like that.. she's got Mikan ;)

Good very much needed character development for Hotaru this time, showing that she's definitely not that unfeeling compared to others out there. But she won't stop abusing Mikan when she's causing trouble, of course ;) Next time Mikan has fun with Natsume in Tobita's haunted house (that actually happened before this episode's events in the manga).
