Gakuen Alice Volume 10

It's time for New Year's, which also makes it Mikan's birthday. She's having a hard time getting people to notice her enough to tell them, but when she finds out that Natsume didn't get any New Year's cards, she feels terrible for thinking only about herself. When she runs into Narumi, she feels better and promises to protect her from anything...including the potential curse that might make her lose something important.
