Me encantó, amé lo de Arisu y Usagi, lo merecían.
y ese juego final me hizo poner muyy nerviosa y ni siquiera soy participante, los juegos psicológicos son mis favoritos..

adding chishiya to the jack of hearts game in the live action adaptation is the best decision anyone did ever

¡El juego de J❤ está increíble! Estas historias paralelas me están gustando más de lo que imaginé. El ver que el grupo de Arisu no es el único con cualidades exepcionales lo hace todo más interesante, sin embargo lo único que puedo pensar ahora es que ya es el tomo 12 de 18 y siento que falta mucho por desarrollarse y explicar, más tomando en cuenta que están luchando contra los más poderosos del juego.

Vol. 10 of the Alice in Borderland manga series is different. It is kind of lighter, with the main character enjoying life and love. The final game takes place with new characters-players that have not been used before (or at least I don't recall any of them). Maybe the story will get darker and pick up a notch in the next volumes... But it was nice to take a peek at Arisu's past.

retomando por fin la serie de Alice
este tomo demuestra como la psicología humana puede ser fácilmente manipulable cuando se está en riesgo.
claramente sobrevive el más fuerte e inteligente mentalmente, logrando unirse algunos personajes para llevar adelante una estrategia y encontrar a la persona de la cual se tienen que deshacer para sobrevivir

it's refreshing to see arisu be able to take a breath and find time to live his life as best he can in the circumstances to find some love and happiness, even if for a short while. we had another insight into his past as well, which i loved.

the side story (?) with the characters and solitary confinement is tense and wild - alice in borderland at its best.

still, nothing has quite come close to the beach arc yet!

I wonder if Arisu has finally gone crazy or he has an extremely strong mind... I see a lot of death flags. Please don't kill Usagi, mangaka-san.

I was looking forward to a heart game and I must say I'm not disappointed. A simple game can become a very twisted one.
I thought that little girl Urumi was the ♥J but turned out I was wrong...

"Countless African elephants are killed every year by ivory poachers. The overhunting doesn't stop. In 10 years, they might all be extinct. African elephants don't run. When their families are in danger, they gather to protect them. Because of their family bond, their species will be extinct"

It was my favorite game in the show,now i love it even more. It was way more brutal than Netflix but i definitely missed chisiya.☹️

I'm liking this game, but I can say that the series was better

This is the first time I felt that the show did better. I am loving the Jack game, however, i think it was much better with a certain character involved.

[Thuy · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

Okay, so this volume had some WILD moments.

1st - I respect Arisu's decision to not participate in any games. Do I think that that's actually going to happen? Maybe not... But still, I'm glad that he's chosen to stop and is trying to live his best life.

2nd - That SCENE. You know the scene ;) ;) ;) I was like: Aaaaahhhhh! (And then a few pages later, it was more ahhhh!)

3rd - It should have been absolutely illegal to do that fakeout with Usagi. I literally had to put down the book for a full five minutes. And then, when I finally had the courage to keep reading, IT WAS JUST HIS IMAGINATION. My heart was about to fly out of my chest. If Usagi ever actually dies, Borderland better watch out. Arisu is gonna be out for all your heads.

4th - I have no idea who the jack is... I'm gonna say... maybe the... lady who was woohooing in the bathroom? Like, she's playing dumb and weak to keep from attracting attention to herself? That'll be my guess. We'll see in the next volume!

Arisu's part is a bit boring, but the side story is great. It shows that, in a fight for survival, people turn into monsters. No other life is holy but their own. Anger, paranoia, the desire to manipulate others all come into play just like the Jack of Hearts wanted for his game.

Though depressed about losing so many friends, Arisu and Usagi finally find happiness and love in each other's arms.

The Jack of Hearts participates in a game with 19 other regular players. It's a game of trust that can only be won by making the Jack lose. Otherwise he is the only winner and survivor. The game starts slowly, but soon the bodies of the betrayed start to pile up.

Setelah selesai menamatkan permainan dari King of Clubs, Arisu memutuskan untuk tidak berpartisipasi dalam permainan mana pun. Selain karena rasa bersalahnya kepada Tatta, ia hanya ingin menghabiskan waktu berdua dengan Usagi. Di sisi lain, permainan tetap berjalan bagi yang ingin berpartisipasi. Dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak dua puluh orang, mereka harus menebak jenis kartu yang ada di belakang leher mereka. Mereka bisa saling membantu atau pun menipu saat mereka memberitahu bentuk apa kepada peserta lain.

Bueno... se concretó finalmente la relación entre Usagi y Arisu aunque me aburre un poco cuando empiezan a narrar el día a día y no pasa nada... igual que el juego del rey de corazones, yo creía que iba a aparecer Chishiya, pero no, es con personajes que no conocemos entonces no termina de gustarme del todo, al no conocerlos no me importa que mueran. Me parece que en la serie se tomaron muchas decisiones en cuanto a los cambios que se hacen de trama muy acertados.

[Cam · Rating 3 out of 5]

La partie entre Usagi et Alice est bien mignonne mais on avance encore moins qu'avant. Le comble reste la nouvelle épreuve, de coeur qui plus est, qui met en scène vingt personnes mais aucun connu à ce jour, alors qu'il y a foule de personnages qui mériteraient d'être exploités. Décevant malgré un jeu intéressant..

[Drew Cannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Volume 12 starts by continuing Arisu's and Usagi's journey after splitting from the group. Shortly after, the Jack of Hearts game begins. Unlike in the Netflix series, Chishiya is not present for this game. While I definitely miss his wit being present, this does allow for the other characters to shine more. Look forward to seeing them get developed further in volume 13. 5/5

7/10
Te 2 dni były takie z dupy w sensie spoko odskocznia ale w serialu milion razy lepiej I gdybym czytała mangę najpierw to nie wiedziałabym co się dzieje
-dodanie ukochanego wielbiciela krakersów do ❤️J to była najlepsza opcja serialu i nie wyobrażam sobie tego tak samo jak w mandze. Po prostu serial lepszy

[Pikachu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Đã đọc full bộ, thấy truyện hay hơn phim. Nó hay hơn ở chỗ là có thời gian để xây dựng những tuyến nhân vật phụ, đồng thời là cách triển khai mạch truyện t thấy nó có sự hợp lý hơn nhiều, k có bị rush mà diễn ra rất trôi chảy. Còn như trong phim thì ss2 đúng rush, chưa hiểu đầu cua tai nheo gì thì end rồi.

Rcm đọc truyện rồi coi ss3 thoi, do ss3 k có trong nguyên tác

[Kristin ✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chishiya's presence is really missing from the Solitarily confiment game. The game in itself is very interesting but without a character for us as readers to root for it loses a lot of it's suspense. Adding him to the game in the tv show was such a lift.

[Lucille · Rating 4 out of 5]

mais um volume extremamente cativante, recheada de emoções, uma obra extremamente fluída e muito rápida de ser lida, com uma dinâmica de jogos bem interessante de se acompanhar, trazendo algo q se torna diferencial em mts níveis
