Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Vol. 6
The furious battle between Ugo and Judar ends with the sudden appearance of Ren Kogyoku, Eighth Princess of the Kou Empire.

Sinbad has a plan to save Balbadd that will require strength and courage from everyone, particularly Alibaba, but no one doubts Alibaba more than himself...

Who them stakes are high!
World: Great art, especially with the Amon stuff. The world building is good, it spends a lot of time building the pieces for the city and the nation making it more real and there being more depth to it.
Story: The story continues with the last book and still builds more stakes for the nation and the pieces in the story. I love that it’s character based and this journey that Alibaba is on is coming to a full circle. Add that we have Aladdin and his journey and Morgiana it’s good stuff. The pieces are well done.
Characters: Great character moments that build the world and the main cast. The evil characters are simple and easy to spot and motivations are not deep at all making for a very easy and basic development.
The stakes are so high and it’s getting good.
Onward to the next book!

This is the 6th volume in the Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic series. I enjoyed this volume a lot and continue to really enjoy this series. There are great characters, a wonderful world, and an interesting storyline.
This book leaves off where the 5th volume left off, Aladdin and Judar are still battling. Ali Baba needs to decide if he will step up to rule Balbadd or not, and he is struggling with his confidence. Sinbad is there to support the whole group and hopefully teach Ali Baba more about how to control the Djinn that he acquired in the Dungeon earlier in the series. Additionally we find out a lot more about how Balbadd got to be in the horrible situation that it is now in.
There is a lot of character development in this book for Ali Baba, this story features him for the most part. We watch as he struggles with that age old decision of whether or not he should take up rule of a city for the good of the people.
There are a couple really awesome battle scenes and these were very well done. We get to watch as Ali Baba tries to master his Djinn as well.
Everything is kind of coming together in this book. All of the characters from the previous books are in here and the city of Balbadd is teetering on the edge of either collapse or war. You can tell that this story is building up to something big.
I really enjoy this world, the characters, and the story. The story has gotten a lot more complex and is really interesting, but it’s not too hard to follow. The drawing is well done and fairly easy to follow. There is a lot of battling between Djinn in this book and there were a couple times where the illustration got a bit confusing and hard to following, but nothing major.
Overall a very well done fantasy manga. I definitely recommend if you like fantasy manga with lots of action and some magic. I can’t wait to see where the story goes in volume 7.

Non per cantar sempre la stessa solfa ma MORGIANA LA MIA REGINA sta sempre a salvare il culo a tutti.
In questo volume entra in scena la principessa del regno di Kou, Kougyoku. La sua entrata in scena è stupenda, amo il fatto che Ohtaka abbia piazzato un personaggio femminile che arriva sul campo e DEVASTA Ugo, che finora era il personaggio più forte. Che queen.
Ci sono vari momenti che ho trovato interessanti: Jafar e Sin che pensano quanto Morgiana sia buona brava forte gentile etc e lei intanto che pensa di essere inutile, oppure quando Morgiana dimostra la sua fiducia in Alibaba quando lo difende davanti a Sinbad; o ancora la richiesta ad Alibaba di Sahbmad, che è un personaggio tutt'altro che eroico eppure proprio interessante.
Credo però che il capitolo migliore sia quello con lo scontro (per ora più che altro verbale) tra Kashim e Alibaba. Il loro contrasto è reso molto bene, con Kashim disposto a tutto per rovesciare la monarchia e Alibaba che invece riesce a tenersi stretti i suoi principi perché più privilegiato. Da lettore ovviamente tifiamo per Alibaba, ma Kashim è perfettamente logico nel suo ragionamento sanguinario (d'altronde la storia gli dà ragione: per rovesciare un governo bisogna sempre pagare col sangue) e quindi capiamo ancora di più il conflitto di Alibaba, che vuole fermare l'amico ma non vuole davvero fronteggiarlo.
E proprio questa forte motivazione permette ad Alibaba di manifestare l'arma del suo djinn!! È il classico "quando sta per morire ce la fa", ma apprezzo come Alibaba ci riesca solo quando abbandona un metodo che non capisce e decide invece che è disposto a bruciare per ottenere quel potere. È in linea con il suo personaggio e dimostra la sua forza di volontà, che a volte vacilla ma alla fine resiste sempre.

Der Kampf zwischen Ugo und Judar ist in vollem Gange und beide Seiten zeigen kein Erbarmen! Doch Ugo ist schwer verletzt und der dunklen Magi bekommt unerwartet Hilfe...
3,5 / 5 Sterne bekommt Band 6 der Magi Serie von mir. Nach dem ersten spektakulären Kampf fällt das Level lange Zeit ab. Es geht viel um Ali Babas Selbstzweifel und die politische Lage in Balbadd. Der drohende Schatten des Kaiserreiches Kou macht die Story gen Ende dann aber wieder spannend.
Schön ist es zu sehen, wie die Bande der Freundschaft zwischen Ali Baba, Morgiana und Aladin auch die harten Krisen überstehen und dass das Vertrauen in den anderen nie abnimmt. Sindbad wird immer mehr zu einem weisen Mentor für den jungen Prinzen und erweist sich immer wieder als guter Verbündeter.
Und langsam aber sicher wachsen die Charaktere mir ans Herz <3

Esto está que arde! Literalmente, Ugo-kun es muy fuerte y se revela que no es Djinn de Aladdin, además hace aparición la princesa del imperio Kou acompañada de unos personajes increíblemente fuertes e incluso ella demuestra tener un gran poder, sólo que los encantos de Sinbad la dejan atónita.
Existe una escena muy graciosa protagonizada por Alibaba y Morgiana.
Alibaba se enfrenta a la frustración por no haber podido hacer algo más en la batalla contra esas extrañas personas, no tiene confianza en sí mismo, pero pasa algo que lo hace determinarse para aprender a hacer el uso de su Djinn correctamente por lo que le pide a Sinbad que le enseñé. Pero el tiempo apremia y tiene que actuar antes de que se desate una revuelta que pueda inundar de sangre a Balbadd. Alibaba ha tomado una decisión arriesgada, pero todo sea por el bien de su país.

This volume is packed with intense politics and emotional struggles. Alibaba is caught between his friendship and duty as the Third Prince of Balbadd. His older brother, the king, plans to sell their people into slavery, forcing Alibaba to make a difficult choice.
The battle between Ugo and Judar takes a shocking turn with the arrival of Kogyoku Ren, the Eighth Princess of the Kou Empire. Her strange creatures show just how dangerous Balbadd’s enemies are. Sinbad has a plan to save the kingdom, but Alibaba’s biggest challenge is overcoming his own self-doubt.
With great action, deep emotions, and stunning artwork, this volume keeps the excitement high. The mix of battles and politics makes it a gripping read!

As Aladdin continues to battle Judal, with Sinbad and Morgiana aiding from the sidelines, Ali Baba thinks long and hard on the decision of whether or not he will take up the mantle of leader in the kingdom of Balbadd. Ohtaka will keep readers on the edge of their seats with this emotional entry. Will Ali Baba be brave enough to lead his people?

Aparece miembros del Imperio Kou en escena, y tenemos por otro lado el problemón del banquero detrás de los "juanes", y cómo afecto a la economía de baldadd, y el costo que lleva a actos despreciables. En tanto, Sinbad entrena a Alibaba un poco para que no haga cualquiera, y esto se pone cada vez mejor. Sigo.

Character 3.5| Setting 5| Plot 3.5| Art 4| Enjoyability 5
Overall Rating: 4.2
After Judar's schtick we get to see the aftermath. What I love about the aftermath is we get to see what funky political manuevering Kou is doing.
I just love all these little pieces that start to move.
I'm excited to see more of the dungeon capturers getting introduced(I love Kougyouku)

【第49-58夜】
巴爾巴多篇開始探討「經濟殖民」、「債務陷阱」等議題。仲記得當初睇國王打算透過做「奴隸出口國」賺錢，覺得非常嘔心。
以及覺得漫畫呢段好點出阿里巴巴 vs 卡西姆嘅分別
阿：「和那種對手對上的話，被捲進來的國民，也會出現大量的犧牲者啊！」
卡：「那不是很好嗎？不管是帝國的援軍還是什麼，都能用數量壓倒！犧牲者或許會增加，那也是沒辦法的事！無論死掉多少國民……最後得到勝利的，都會是我們！」
呢度睇得出卡西姆已經放棄思考，只係一心想掀起革命。至於點樣革，革命後係點，有啲咩代價，佢完全放棄晒思考。
阿里巴巴之所以看似優柔寡斷，係因為佢仲係痛苦咁思考緊前路，尋找緊解決方法。

Gostei bastante deste volume, no entanto senti que durante o mesmo as vezes perdia o interesse. O final do volume deixou-me bastante curioso para saber o que virá a seguir! O Alibaba é sem dúvida um dos melhores personagens deste manga!
3.1/5 estrelas

Better than the last volume. It's now dawning on me that I feel like we're learning way too much too fast and there's no real respite from all the doom and gloom. I know a rumble's about to start, but hopefully after this we can take a breather.

El sistema de gobierno tan podrido, el papel moneda que no vale nada, la gran brecha de clases y el pueblo muerto de hambre hace que me sienta tan identificada, que no se si alabar a la historia por transmitir la desgracia de algunas sociedades o irme a un rincon a llorar

There was quite a bit to digest in this volume which is brilliant for me! I'm loving each moment, especially with the development of Alibaba, I really like his character so seeing him make big steps is such a plus for me!

La storia si mantiene su alti livelli, in questo volume capiremo un po le politiche della città, spiegate in maniera non banale di hxh memoria.
Oltre ad approfondire i poteri dei Jin e le loro interazioni.

similar problems to the last volume, this whole arc feels cliche to me. i’m enjoying the world building but the stakes do not feel high to me personally but just an introduction to the bigger picture.

World building is on fire. I love that both the character and the world building were done well and the story really progress so well as well.
And another character that I despised as of the moment.

いつも楽しい！今回の経済のことちょっと変なペイスの選択だったと思ったけど他の全てめっちゃ面白かった！
Man I always love this comic! The extended interlude about national economics was a bit of a weird choice but I really enjoyed everything else.
