Summary
An action-packed thriller and source of the hit Netflix drama where the only way to survive is to play the game！
Eighteen-year-old Ryohei Arisu is sick of his life。 School sucks， his love life is a joke， and his future weighs on him 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。
Life in Borderland can be grim， but after completing two games Arisu feels like he might be getting a handle on how his new world works。 Chota and Shibuki’s visas are expiring soon， however， so the group doesn’t have time to be picky about their next match。 And the arena they stumble upon is a lesson in just how treacherous the rules in Borderland can be。

La primera mitad， que sería el tomo 3 en el formato original， me pareció excelente。 No me esperaba lo del tercer juego。En la segunda mitad hubo cosas que no me gustaron/no me cerraron con respecto a la playa。 Aun así， me gustó esta parte en general。

Though still great， I still preferred the shows interpretation but it was still enjoyable。

The first Volume of this manga completely blew me out of the water with its intense action and psychological suspense， so I knew I had to continue the series whenever I could。 Volume 2 is tragic and dark， but continues the story well and makes me long for Vol 3 just as much。Highlights: （Summary， so spoilers coming）- Arisu， Karube， Chota， Shibuki continue to live and work together towards the goal of surviving。 When two of them have one day left on their Visas， they decide to take do a game。 Unfo The first Volume of this manga completely blew me out of the water with its intense action and psychological suspense， so I knew I had to continue the series whenever I could。 Volume 2 is tragic and dark， but continues the story well and makes me long for Vol 3 just as much。Highlights: （Summary， so spoilers coming）- Arisu， Karube， Chota， Shibuki continue to live and work together towards the goal of surviving。 When two of them have one day left on their Visas， they decide to take do a game。 Unfortunately， this one is a quite brutal kind of version of hide and seek （called Wolves and Sheep） where only one can survive。 My jaw dropped and I had to stop reading for a little bit when Arisu was the only one left standing。 Before sacrificing himself， Karube told Arisu to find the beach and there would be answers there。- The survivor's guilt drops Arisu into a very deep depression， and he is rescued by Usagi （we met her in the first Volume）。 They become very close and promise to help each other survive。- Using a map， they search for "the beach" and find a huge beach resort。 Confusingly so， people there seem to be living their best lives。 They are working together to collect a full deck of the playing cards so that they will be allowed to leave the game。 The Beach runs on 3 rules: One， always wear swimwear; Two， all cards belong to the Beach; and Three， traitors get killed。- On The Beach， their are 2 factions: one led by Hatter （#1） and the other led by Aguni （#2）。 They do not get along at all。 Arisu and Usagi side with Hatter， but he is murdered， shifting everyone in the ranks， pushing Aguni to #1。- There are lots of people who don't want to see Aguni （a huge hulking brute who values violence over intelligence）， so a rebellion is started， Arisu joining。 They plan， during the transfer of power ceremony， to steal the cards the Beach has collected so far。 One of their supposed members， Chishiya， rats them out to Aguni。- The end is very harsh。。。。 Arisu is beat up and tied up， one day left on his Visa。 and just down the hall， Usagi is being。。。。 abused。。。Despite the harsh end， I really want to continue to read it。 Have to know what happens next！Strong recommend。 This is an amazing manga series。 。。。more

Another strong volume。 As with the TV adaptation， the characters aren't super three dimensional， but the plotting is so suspenseful， fast paced， and imaginative that it rarely matters。 Another strong volume。 As with the TV adaptation， the characters aren't super three dimensional， but the plotting is so suspenseful， fast paced， and imaginative that it rarely matters。 。。。more

Whoa， this one took me by surprise。 The first half is our group of people going to their next game together。 After barely making it through the last game you'd think this one wouldn't be too bad。 But you'd guess wrong。。。very fucking wrong。 The ending to this arc isn't only shocking but hits hard。 The second half deals with "The Beach" arc。 This is a interesting arc though I'll admit the pacing slowed down a bit too much for me。 But I do love the backstabbing in this arc and plenty of "oh shit mo Whoa， this one took me by surprise。 The first half is our group of people going to their next game together。 After barely making it through the last game you'd think this one wouldn't be too bad。 But you'd guess wrong。。。very fucking wrong。 The ending to this arc isn't only shocking but hits hard。 The second half deals with "The Beach" arc。 This is a interesting arc though I'll admit the pacing slowed down a bit too much for me。 But I do love the backstabbing in this arc and plenty of "oh shit moments。" Overall a great followup to the last book。 A 4 out of 5。 。。。more

4。5/5 StarsThis volume is a roller coaster of almost non-stop twists and emotions。 Arisu's friend group begins to feel disjointed， no longer united by the same desires or feelings。 While Arisu is enjoying the bliss of being alive for the first time， Karube is busy trying to find a way out of the Borderland， while Shibuki is manipulating the scared Chota。 The last part was something that really rubbed me the wrong way， as Shibuki is a grown adult woman， while Chota is still in high school。 It was 4。5/5 StarsThis volume is a roller coaster of almost non-stop twists and emotions。 Arisu's friend group begins to feel disjointed， no longer united by the same desires or feelings。 While Arisu is enjoying the bliss of being alive for the first time， Karube is busy trying to find a way out of the Borderland， while Shibuki is manipulating the scared Chota。 The last part was something that really rubbed me the wrong way， as Shibuki is a grown adult woman， while Chota is still in high school。 It was disgusting how the two spent their "last night" together， and how Shibuki began to talk for him the next day in a way that only caused a deeper rift in the three boys' friendship。 She might be an accurate depiction of a flawed human being， but as the only adult out of high school in the group， she seriously failed at acting like one。The game they all finally joined was a final test of their bond as friends。 As the reader， I was as confused as Arisu at first--what kind of leaves only the wolf alive by looking at them when obviously no one wants to die？ The sheep would simply try to hunt down the wolf， rather than the other way around。 However， the Borderland's rules are absolute， and the present fractures in their friendship nearly split completely apart as they begin to turn on one another。 It isn't until Chota speaks up through his fear， saying he doesn't care who wins or loses anymore。 Betraying his friends until now hurt him too much。 This causes Arisu to recall how Chota was always kinder than anyone else in the past--some development Chota gets that was sorely needed。In a twisted way， Arisu becomes the lucky one since he was the last person to be chosen as wolf。 Even though everyone comes to their senses after remembering how important they really are to each other， it becomes too late for him to take back his earlier choice。 Arisu is unable to pay back his friends for always saving him， whether it be in his life before the Borderland or in its games， as they choose to sacrifice themselves so that he can live。 An emotional two-page spread of Arisu's agonized crying is shown as it sets in that the rules made perfect sense in the end: the sheep hid from the wolf so that he could live， rather than killing him。From here on out， we follow Arisu's struggle to regain his desire to stay alive with the deaths of his friends on his back。 Torn between wanting to find out who runs the Borderland's games and losing his will to fight now that his friends are gone， he spends a long time in a hopeless daze。 It isn't until Usagi finds him that he finally admits to wanting to live， thought the survivor's guilt still tears at him for doing so。 Seeing the two work together as Usagi teaches him how to survive， as well as getting a glimpse of the backstory involving the father she admired， was a mixture of both heartwarming and heartbreaking。 Even before Arisu admits that Usagi is the hope keeping him alive， it's obvious through the two's experiences that Usagi thinks the same of Arisu even if neither of them put it into words。 I really loved the respect these two have for each other。The Beach was the most interesting addition to the story this volume。 We find out about why the cards left behind at each game are being collected， a possible （if nearly hopeless） way for a single person to leave the Borderlands， and introduces the two clashing factions that run The Beach。 A quick run-through of more games are shown to prove the intelligence or physical prowess of several characters in each faction while Arisu once again battles with his choices。 The place he led Usagi turned out to be a cult-like， near-anarchy gathering of people who chase after temporary pleasure with reckless abandon。 At least he meets a few people who are still worth teaming up with， such as Kuina--another character that quickly became my favorite。 The art improved greatly from the beginning of volume one to now。 Arisu's eyes are much more full of emotion and the shading used for serious expressions is wonderful。 Aso has the tense atmosphere and emotional scenes down pat with his bold lines， as well as his selective use of large ink splatters and thick， chaotic brush strokes （such as during the end of the wolf game）。I knocked down half a star because I could have done without the very last few pages that involve Usagi's dangerous situation。Looking forward to the next volume after the betrayal and horrible situation Arisu got himself into at the end！ 。。。more

The second volume of the Alice in Borderland saga brings more games ， mystery， and heart break， as Arisu ventures deeper into Borderland。 This volume focuses more on the characters themselves and their relationships。 There is also a bit more world building when a new set of characters are introduced。 If you enjoyed the first volume I would definitely recommend you pick this volume up。 *Thanks to NeGallley and Viz Media for allowing me to view a e-galley of this book in exchange for an honest rev The second volume of the Alice in Borderland saga brings more games ， mystery， and heart break， as Arisu ventures deeper into Borderland。 This volume focuses more on the characters themselves and their relationships。 There is also a bit more world building when a new set of characters are introduced。 If you enjoyed the first volume I would definitely recommend you pick this volume up。 *Thanks to NeGallley and Viz Media for allowing me to view a e-galley of this book in exchange for an honest review* 。。。more
