This brings the live adaption S1 and the witch hunt to a conclusion. Nothing seemed too far fetched in this brilliantly crafted game full of emotions and important events. The concept of dealers intrigues me, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next..

Se concluye el arco argumental de la caza de brujas y los juegos cambian. Gran fuerza en los personajes y el autor maneja el tema de la empatia y los sentimientos para distinguirnos de las bestias. Argumentos sólidos y personajes bien estructurados. La trama te envuelve y eso hace que la lectura sea adictiva.

This wraps up the first season! Can't wait for the new content in the following chapters. This story is addicting

This is where the S1 one ends. Quite a different ending...
I'm so excited to read further!!

In the 7th volume of Alice in Borderland. the story of the witch hunt was resolved in a splendid way. Haro Aso san masterfully brought everything to an end, giving a small hope and resolving all issues before we move on to the next level.

****This was probably where the LA S01 wrapped things up****

That cliffhanger!

I couldn't put this series down. I am addicted! It's so good!

[Achilles Lanis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume 7 sees the conclusion of the witch hunt game and it's a satisfying end.

The witch is revealed along with a lot information about the games too that brings new suspense to the story.

Arisu is becoming a very good protagonist and Usagi is evolving into a good character as well.
Finally some definitely needed downtime takes place after the game that explores the relationships of the participants.

Recommended!

fuck! no! [slams the table]

[Jessy Morin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bon tome, mais un peu en dessous des précédents. L’arc se termine avec de bonnes scènes d’action et quelques révélations intéressantes, mais le rythme traîne par moments. Arisu est moins présent, ce qui enlève un peu de tension et d’émotion à l’histoire. On sent que c’est un volume de transition : utile pour poser la suite, mais pas vraiment marquant.

Uffffff ya estoy al día con el Live Action (tremenda adaptación, por cierto)... Lo que sigue es terreno totalmente desconocido y me aterra.

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

Arisu convinces Morizono to stop his killing spree and talk it out to find the witch. But then Morizono who reveals he killed the Hatter - an act which haunts him as they were close friends - goes berserk against everyone, claiming he is the witch. The witch hunt was set up by the game masters called or dealers to result in a large number of deaths that earn them extended visas. The witch is in fact a double agent - a player who is also a dealer was to kill herself to start the game.

While Morizono beats up everyone, the dead dealer's best friend reveals to Arisu what her role is. She is killed then and there by the orbital laser. Her death makes everyone freeze, allowing Arisu to talk some sense into them and clear the game. The survivors are forced to leave the Beach as Suguru starts a fire that engulfs the whole building.

The players leave the ruined Beach, never to return. Several players gather around Arisu to mourn their dead friends and find a way to move on. Even the games take a break for a while.

llegamos al fin de la utopia (solo en la serie porque en el manga tenemos todavia unos 11 tomos más)

logramos entender un poco de como es el juego y lo que traman la gente detras de el, y si lo comparamos con la serie no tenemos mucha info que digamos.
Arisu siempre da lo mejor de si con su forma tan inteligente de razonar todas las situaciones para salir beneficiado (aunque no de manera fisica porque siempre se termina comiendo las peores golpizas), pero esta vez toda la tramoya viene desde algo más oscuro.
Llegar a la situacion en la que terminaron deja ver que la gente puede llegar a ser muy manipulable a la hora de sacar conclusiones sin tener idea de lo que pasa y solo dejandose llevar por el que diran.

and with this, i have officially caught up with season one.

i'm absolutely buzzing with excitement to continue on and see what awaits me. my sister - who read spoilers - is dangling answers in front of me as if she's playing with a pet and it's driving me insane, so i can't wait to find out what the borderland is and how - or if - these games will end.

took down a star because of the few transphobic panels, so trigger warnings for that; however apart from that it was still a very thrilling, tense read.

[Juliana Renzo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chishiya aparece re poco locooooooooooooooooooo.
Ahora tengo más intriga porque en la serie el desenlace de la playa no fue igual al manga.
Sigue siendo interesantísimo la importancia que le dan a la depresión y lo mal que la pasaban en la realidad, teniendo en cuenta el contexto de unos juegos re morbosos y macabros.

Lo que no me puedo acordar es si en la serie, respetan el personaje de Hikari como trans. Porque me re shokeó mal, y no me pareció q era algo que ya conocía.

Setelah adanya pembantaian yang terjadi di the Beach untuk mencari siapa sosok "the witch", akhirnya diketahui oleh Arisu yang baru saja diselamatkan oleh Usagi. Ternyata, "the witch"-nya adalah si korban sendiri yang menusuk dirinya. Dari kejadian itu, terbongkarlah juga ternyata selain ada "player", ada juga "dealer" yang bertugas untuk menyusun permainan. "Dealer" bisa terus bertahan hidup jika game yang dimainkan menghasilkan banyak peserta yang terbunuh.

Le jeu psychologique touche à sa fin avec des révélations intéressantes. Cette conclusion est moins molle que le début mais pas assez percutante. Les chapitres suivants sont plus légers mais nécessaires pour développer l'esprit de communauté et surtout laisser un petit répit avant une seconde partie qui risque de se montrer corsée. En espérant que le tome suivant ne soit pas transitoire.

[Sinai C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not my favorite volume of the series, just pacing-wise, but we get a new development in how the games work and who is behind them. We also get a few heartfelt moments of some of the characters being able to continue to live and enjoy life, even amidst sorrows. I'm excited to see how they all continue.

[Paulina ෂ · Rating 4 out of 5]

¡Cambio radical comparado con la serie! Me gustó mucho más ver esta parte en el manga que en la serie -y eso ya es decir bastante-. No puedo dejar de pensar en cómo se desarrollará la historia a partir de aquí y viendo que acabó de manera tan distinta a como pensó que lo haría.

[bakanekonomama · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bedanya sama dramanya, di sini si Hatter adalah mantan berandalan. Sementara di dramanya, dia adalah orang yang bermimpi menjadi seorang host paling terkenal di Kabukicho.

Eh, bener kan ya?

Apa perlu nonton dramanya lagi? Hahahahaa

Tapi nanti lah kalau season 2-nya udah keluar aja.

[Drew Cannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

So if you're reading the manga after watching the series, this volume wraps up the first season. The Ten of Hearts game comes to a conclusion, and we end on another cliff-hanger. Another flawless volume for me. 5/5

this was so good but also made me so sad :( i wish they'd included the scenes of all the beach citizens forming a community after the destruction of the beach. they're literally the found family trope personified <3 i love them sm

[Kristin ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Witch game is still one of the best games in all of Alice in borderland.

Interesting to see the end of season 1 here, a little different from what I remember from the show. Interested to see how the rest will differ from season 2.

[Amara · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars
Thoroughly enjoy these volumes that dive deeper into the characters' personal lives and motivations, and focus more on the bigger story and how that relates to the human experience in a broader sense.

[Kurtis Burkhardt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Getting super awesome and intense, still the rules for the games are freakin mind blowing(even tho you don't understand them there's lots of excitement)👌🏼👍😻💕

Book 7 is where season 1 ends.
The characters have more humanity in the manga.
