Alice in Borderland is a Japanese suspense manga series, written and illustrated by Haro Aso and published by Shogakukan.
The original releases of the series was published between November 25th 2010 and March 2nd 2016.
The series was made into 18 volumes.
Alice in Borderland was adapted into a 3-episode Original Video Animation, which was released between October 2014 and February 2015.
The series also has a spin-off manga series titled Alice in Border Road, and a sequel titled Alice in Borderland: Retry.
The series also has a live-action adaptation produced by Netflix, with the first season premiering worldwide in December 2020, with a 2nd season in December 2022.
On the 9th of July 2021, Viz Media announced that they had licensed the series for English publication.
As of March 2016, Alice in Borderland had over 1.3 million copies in circulation.
The series follows Arisu and his friends as they fight to survive and find answers and a way home, out of Borderlands deadly games.
Eighteen-year-old Ryohei Arisu is sick of life.
School sucks, his love life is a joke, and his future feels like impending doom. As he struggles to exist in a world that can't be bothered with him, Ryohei feels like everything would be better if he were anywhere else. When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true. But this new world isn't an empty paradise, it's a vicious game. And the only way to survive is to play.
The first game starts with a bang, but Ryohei manages to beat the clock and save his friends. It's a short-lived victory, however, as they discover that winning only earns them a few days' grace period. If they want to get home, they're going to have to start playing a lot harder.
I make no secret of being a fan of the AIB Netflix series, and it's because of that, that I decided to start reading the manga and see how it differs from the live-action.
The first volume covers the first 2 episodes with some differences, for example the game in which Arisu and the gang meets Shibuki, as well as Chishiya meeting Karube rather than meeting and helping Arisu.
The main difference between the live-action and the manga is their ages, while Karube works in a bar, both Arisu and Chota are still in high school, I found it really funny with how different Chota is, he literally makes a puddle to see up the girls skirts and it actually made me laugh to find out he's actually a pervert.
So far there isn't much in the way of character development as it's only the first volume and I think it takes a few volumes to allow you to get to know the characters.
I look forward to reading more of the volumes and seeing how it differs from the live-action, and seeing each characters growth in a more detailed aspect.
I've actually been struggling to get my hands on the volumes as they seem to be out of stock in a lot of places, which I think shows how popular the live-action has become for viewers wanting to actually read the original content of the show.
It's been such a long time since I've posted about a manga, so it's nice to be able to post and share something I've started reading again.
See you soon!
