Manga Review: Alice in Borderland Volume 3 by Haro Aso
I watched the live-action first and absolutely loved it—so, of course, I had to get the manga! And this is my first Alice in Borderland Volume 3… now I just know I’ll be collecting all of them.
Volume 3 throws us deeper into the madness of the Borderlands. Arisu and his friends find themselves at Beach, a so-called "safe zone" where players can work together to collect game cards. But this place isn’t as perfect as it seems. There are rules, a power hierarchy, and a leader who keeps things in check—but at what cost? Trust is fragile, and one wrong move could mean death.
And then comes The Witch Hunt—one of the most intense and chaotic games so far! A body is found, and the only way to clear the game is to find the "witch" responsible. What follows is pure madness—paranoia, betrayal, and an all-out war among the players. The tension is off the charts, and even though I know what happens from the live-action, seeing it unfold in the manga? A whole different experience! The artwork makes everything feel even darker, bloodier, and more unhinged.
One thing I really love about the manga is the extra side stories that weren’t in the live-action. This volume features Four of Hearts, a game that’s just as twisted as the main story. It adds even more depth to the world, showing the psychological struggles of different players. It’s details like this that make the manga so worth reading!
If you loved the live-action, trust me, the manga is worth it! It has more depth, more details, and more feels. Now I’m hooked, and I need to collect the rest of the series.

Review Manga: Alice in Borderland Volume 3 oleh Haro Aso
Aku nonton live-actionnya duluan and absolutely loved it—jadi, pasti aku harus punya manganya! Ini volume Alice in Borderland pertamaku… Volume 3 dan sekarang aku yakin bakal koleksi semuanya.
Volume 3 makin dalam membawa kita ke kegilaan Borderland. Arisu dan teman-temannya sampai di Beach, sebuah "zona aman" di mana para pemain bisa bekerja sama mengumpulkan kartu permainan. Tapi tempat ini nggak seindah kelihatannya. Ada aturan ketat, sistem kekuasaan, dan pemimpin yang mengontrol semuanya—dengan cara yang nggak selalu benar. Kepercayaan itu rapuh, dan satu langkah salah bisa berarti kematian.
Dan di sinilah The Witch Hunt dimulai—game paling gila sejauh ini! Ada satu mayat ditemukan, dan satu-satunya cara menang adalah menemukan siapa "penyihir" yang bertanggung jawab. Hasilnya? Chaos! Semua orang curiga satu sama lain, kepercayaan hancur, dan Beach berubah jadi medan perang. Ketegangannya gila banget! Meskipun aku udah tau ceritanya dari live-action, baca versi manga tuh beda banget. Ilustrasinya bikin semuanya terasa lebih kelam, lebih berdarah, dan lebih nggak waras.
Yang bikin manga ini makin seru adalah adanya side story yang nggak ada di live-action. Di volume ini ada game Four of Hearts—permainan yang sama twisted-nya! Game ini lebih fokus ke psikologi pemain dan cara mereka bertahan hidup. Detail kecil kayak gini bikin manga ini bener-bener wajib dibaca juga!
Kalau kamu suka live-actionnya, manganya ini WAJIB banget! Ceritanya lebih dalam, lebih detail, dan lebih emosional. Sekarang aku udah ketagihan banget dan kayaknya HARUS koleksi seri ini sampai habis!

Haro Aso plunges readers into a brutal, high-stakes parallel world where survival hinges on deadly games. I read this after watching Squid Game & before watching the Live Action. The story follows disillusioned Arisu and his friends, who are mysteriously transported to a parallel world, a dystopian realm ruled by logic/battle challenges denoted by playing card suits.
Across these first five volumes, the manga blends psychological tension, action, and mystery with a measure of existential dread. Each game tests a different trait, the likes of strength, intelligence, teamwork, or emotional resilience and the consequences are nearly always fatal. The pacing is relentless, the artwork sharp and expressive, and the character development engaging and nuanced for a comic built on suspense.
While some folks might find the premise familiar, especially post-Squid Game, the Battle Royale genre being revisited in manga quite a bit. This manga/comic & its inventive mechanics and emotional stakes keep it fresh. Arisu’s evolution from slacker to strategic survivor is compelling, and the supporting cast adds depth and unpredictability during the games.
It’s a gripping start to a series that I think I will be returning to.
