You've got to be joking, right?? NIRAGI . A FREAKING GAME WITH NIRAGI..

Volume 8 of the Alice in Borderland manga series starts with a short side story. The second half of it introduces the players (and the readers) to the new stage of the game, with some new rules and new arenas. Not too much action in this one, regarding the well-known characters, but it sets the foundation for what is coming.

Que intriga, los nuevos juegos empiezan de forma inesperada.
Ahora me doy cuenta que la serie cambió varias cosas (para nada sorprendente) como el juego del túnel, en el que Arisu y Usagi realmente no participaron.
Me gusta mucho el rumbo que esta tomando.

Pd: Niragi???

It's about to go down! So much is happening! The next stage is intense.

Come from Netflix series because I can't wait for ss2! Finished the whole manga within a few days and it was such a pleasure experience

The idea is briliant, still haven't wrapped my head around how the author was able to come up with such awesome and meaningful story like that. It really makes me question my true identity on the verge of death, when I have to make choices that I bet my life on. I think I'll never know who I really am

I like all the characters. It's a shame that the 2 best friends of Arisu die too soon. I wanted to see them more in the story, but like the story said at some point, their deaths are " necessary evil" for Arisu to mature.
Shibuki was a calculating person and will do anything to hold on to her life. I cried when she smiles and embraces Chunta during her last few seconds of the hide and seek game. It's like she finally accepts her fate that she is about to die. It was such a hard moment for Shibuki to let go considering what she did in the past, but she did it, and at least she was happy in her last moment

This is the beginning of season 2.
The ruthless king of spades’ long game has been introduced and our little team has narrowly escaped.
They are now about to play the king of clubs’ game.

Hot cover, huh? Before you start reading the manga with one hand, do note the character was born a man. Pretty progressive series, I must say!

The side story focuses on Yamane Kaito, a yakuza who participates with others in a game where they have to survive encounters with deadly wild animals and extreme natural phenomena in a closed-off tunnel. Though he is the only survivor who pushes all the way to the other side, the goal was to stay in a bus near the entrance to the tunnel. Only two players survive - one who was injured and couldn't go on, and another who cared for him. It turns out the injured player was a dealer.

After a full day of downtime with no games at all, the four game masters - these are higher than dealers - deliver a pretty meaningless message to the players. Basically, the games are on again, this time with no dealers. The first threat comes quickly - the King of Spades operates on every area outside the established venues. He uses sniper rifles to pick off players out in the open, forcing them to take their chances in any game they can find.

Arisu and his group of four decide to interrogate the King of Clubs, the one who revealed the most information during the game masters' announcement. In the meantime they must take shelter from the King of Spades in a game. They are forced to accept Suguru's help as they need 5 players.

Truly unfortunate that the volume with Kuina's cover is the lowest rated book in the whole series for me. She's my favorite character. But the fact remains that while the whole manga is really obviously seen by the male gaze (hypersexualizing women, acts of toxic masculinity passed off as inevitable scenarios etc) this volume really lets me down on a whole other level. Don't get me wrong, having a positive transwoman character in a mainstream manga is awesome, especially considering this whole series doesn't even touch on other forms of queer sexuality like gay or lesbian identities. She's essentially the only canonical queer representative. So when the whole volume feels off, it feels even worse to me. Nonetheless, her character is still really awesome and this volume matters to me.

my long-winded story for no reason at all:
i was watching sweet home on netflix (which is absolutely brilliant), and later a came across this yt video called 'how to beat every monster in sweet home', and after that another video called 'how to beat every death game in alice in borderland'. i pretty much spoiled the entire tv show for myself, but i ended up watching it anyway. the alice in borderland live-action is so good. SO GOOD!! i picked up the manga from where the show left off because it leaves you yearning for more of this twisted, enigmatic science-fiction universe. i'm not in love with the art style of this manga, but the plot is plenty to keep me going.

- De överlevande från the Beach får för en gångs skull ta det lugnt, iallafall i några dagar. Sedan får man reda på att eftersom att alla kort med siffror har hittats så är det nu dags att börja spela med de klädda korten. Mycket mer död kommer att följa.
- Tydligen så behövs inte längre the Overlookers längre då andra människor som är högre ställda nu planerar the Games. Det är intressant hur rankerna är och vad som är själva meningen med detta, det måste väl finnas någon med högst rang som styr allt?
- Vi fick se ännu en sidestory som visade hur spelen ofta är vilseledande och ej vad de från början verkar som.

[La Biblioteca de Bremd · Rating 4 out of 5]

este tomó fue mucho más reflexivo con respecto a lo que venia siendo Alice

Convengamos que este giro de trama le vino re bien para presentar la siguiente etapa del juego, por lo que se enfoque en los pensamientos de los personajes me pareció algo re acertado.
Todos en algun momento de nuestras vidas pensamos nos replanteamos situaciones que vivimos y el que pasara si... por lo que ver cómo se sienten los participantes de Borderland es un movimiento arriesgado pero necesario.

[Agung Wicaksono · Rating 4 out of 5]

Setelah keluar dari perkumpulan the Beach, Arisu, Usagi, dan orang-orang yang tersisa membuat rencana dan strategi baru untuk bisa bertahan hidup di Borderland. Namun, yang membuat mereka terkejut adalah ketika para manajer dari game-game yang diadakan mulai menampakkan diri. Kemudian, game dijalankan tanpa pemberitahuan terlebih dahulu sehingga para pemain tiba-tiba saja ditembak oleh snipper misterius dan mereka--yang tanpa persiapan--mati begitu saja. Itu yang membuat Arisu tambah geram.

L'auteur nous transporte une fois de plus dans cet univers fascinant où l'imagination est maîtresse. Les rebondissements sont aussi surprenants que palpitants, et le développement des personnages est particulièrement saisissant. On ressent toute l'émotion et l'urgence des situations auxquelles ils sont confrontés. Ce volume est une véritable réussite qui mérite amplement une note parfaite de 5/5. Une lecture incontournable pour les amateurs d'action, de suspense et d'aventure.

[Sinai C. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very much felt like a filler volume. I did like the short side story at the beginning. Though I feel super silly thinking that whenever the translation wrote Clubs as Combination games, that that meant they were a combination of intelligence, psychological, and physical strength. Nope. It just means teamwork XD

Poor Arisu though. He just can't win.

I'm a little confused on the kings and queens and the rules there. We'll see how it continues!

[Cam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mouais. Pas franchement emballée par ce tome-ci. À vrai dire, la seule chose qui a réellement suscité mon intérêt et l'histoire bonus : un jeu court et plutôt intéressant - selon le point de vue. Le reste sert littéralement de prélude et m'a ôté beaucoup de la sympathie que j'avais pour Alice qui part en sucette. Hâte de découvrir la cruauté dont feront preuve les figure éhé !

[Drew Cannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Volume 8 opens up with another side-story, giving us a glimpse of another new character (Yamane Kaito). The side-story deals with the Four of Clubs game (which is also seen in the Netflix series, but with several changes). After the side story, we begin to see the transition from dealer games to resident games. Next volume will be starting with our first face card game, the King of Clubs! 5/5

[minyard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Acá es cuando cronológicamente el manga cambia a lo que fue la serie y también la manera en que se anuncian los juegos contra los reyes y reinas. Personalmente me gustó mucho más la acción que hubo en la serie, a este tomo le faltó eso. Pero, si hablamos de la side story de este tomo que fue el juego de 4 de tréboles, de la autopista y el micro, lo tuvo todo y ese final fue perfecto.

[Paulina ෂ · Rating 4 out of 5]

AMO
Le digo "adiós" a las representaciones que tenía por la serie y "hola" a lo nuevo que me ofrece el manga (¡y que es bastante!). Estoy muy emocionada de ver cómo se desarrolla tanto los personajes como la historia (y ese final wow), definitivamente me gusta más que en la pantalla.

I never would’ve speculated the identity of the Queen which makes me curious as to how the cards will play out.
