Mikan Sakura (girlfriend/fiance) Natsume is the male protagonist in the series. He is
a genius and likes to ditch class frequently. He is
hated and feared by a lot of students and is
unhappy with the school, and knows of the
intentions of its adults. Natsume is involved in top-
secret missions for the Academy as he belongs to the Dangerous Ability Class. He is the only Special
Star in the Elementary Division. Despite his
intelligence, he has no other talents, especially in
music, and doesn't care about his studies. He is
disliked by several students and teachers who see
him as a bad influence or because of his Alice. However, he is admired by some of his classmates
for his rebellious attitude and has several female
admirers, much to his dismay. He possesses the
Alice of Fire, and is referred to as the "most
powerful student of the lower classes" by Narumi.
Early in the series, he is seen as physically ill and frequently going to the hospital. He is later seen
coughing up blood. In the Z arc, it is revealed that
he actually suffers from the 4th shape of Alice called
Limtiless, which damages his body each time he
uses his Alice. Because of this, he wear two control
devices on each of his ears that should control his Alice a bit, but this proves to be futile because his
Alice is too strong. In the Time Travel arc, it is
discovered that he inherited his illness from his
mother. Natsume acknowledges that his illness is
shortening his life and that he can die from it. In the Hime Hana arc, it is revealed that Natsume
lived with his father and younger sister, Aoi. His
mother died in a car accident when he was young.
He was enrolled into the academy because his
sister, Aoi, became ill and burned their village down
after finding an Alice stone Persona had left for Natsume. To protect Aoi, Natsume took the blame
for her and was despised by the villagers, which
explains why many students at the academy call
him a "murderer". His time in the academy was no
better; he is physically and emotionally abused by
the Elementary Principle and Persona. He is forced to do secret missions for the academy because the
Elementary Principle held Aoi captive and
threatened to harm other people Natsume cares for
(ex. Ruka and later Mikan). Like Mikan, he is bullied
by older students, but he never hesitates to use his
Alice on them. He was paired-up as Mikan's "partner" by Narumi
because of she is the only person that can cancel
Natsume's powers and that only she can save
Natsume from the academy's darkness. At first, he
thought of Mikan as annoying and ignored her,
and whenever he did pay attention to her, he insulted her and bullied her. However, as he gets to
know her, he develops a softness for her and lets
her be around him more. Due to her innocent and
cheerful personality, Natsume falls in love with
Mikan, and although he doesn't say it, he shows it
through his jealousy when Mikan is with other guys. He is well aware that his best friend, Ruka, is
also in love with Mikan, and at times he would push
Mikan to him. He frequently sexually harasses her
and calls her names. Despite how he treats her, he
truly cares about her and wants to protect her. He
and Ruka have a seemingly friendly rivalry over Mikan, who is oblivious about their feelings, even
though Natsume had kissed her on the lips twice
and gets overprotective of her in critical moments.
Natsume later makes more obvious signs to Mikan
that he loves her (such as leaving her his Alice
stone, holding her hand, hugging her, and vowing to protect her with his life). Due to Luna's chaos,
they are estranged, but still care for each other.
When Mikan is transferred to the Dangerous Ability
Class by the Elementary Principle, Natsume defends
her and confesses to the entire class that he loves
her. Then, while running away from the elementary Principle, he says that he wants to become an adult
so he can run away with Mikan. As they looked into
Mikan's mother's past, Mikan and Natsume
reconcile and accept their relationship. In chapters
144-145, they directly confess their love to each
other and exchange Alice stones, and he makes an indirect "marriage proposal" to her, which she
accepts. He also told Mikan that she is his for
eternity. Natsume dies during the battle against the
ESP from exhaustion and blood loss, despite Mikan
sacrificing her Alices to save him. He is later saved
by Hotaru and Subaru.
