I hate to say it but I think that I liked the Beach ARC in the adaptation more than in the manga.
Anyway, still very entertaining and I cannot wait for what's more to come.
Niragi and Last Boss basically jumped out of the manga onto the screen, crazy that they found actors who could embody them that well.
I found the Side story quite interesting, however, I was confused by the game since I felt like the rules were not really revealed. I like the idea of the Four of Hearts, however, I would like it a bit reworked (mainly the revelation of the rules) but the mind game whether you trust the other or not was just phenomenal. Thought I really thought that Chishiya was participating and not Arisu, I was surprised by that turn.

Este tomo fue demasiado para mí.
1. Elementos de misterio y sadismo.
2. La violencia, la supervivencia bien marcadas por el autor.
3. La fuerza de vivir y lo que guardamos en el corazón son temas bien manejados en los capítulos.
4. El juego del edificio con los elevadores de limpieza demasiado estresante y perverso. 😈😈😱😱

Alice in Borderland Volume 05 sets the foundation of the upcoming disaster of the Beach. Also, there is an additional short story with a game and a new player.
The story builds up the suspense, leading the characters to find Arisu and get things moving once more. In this volume, the art is phenomenal, with the parallel sequences with the glass of water being a smart and masterful way to showcase the delirium that will follow. The reader also gets a chance in this one to get to know other characters more and for Arisu to come to terms with some of his inner demons.

Volume 5 continues the thrilling ride that is Alice in Borderland.
Usagi shines here as she is developed a bit and there's also a focus on other characters as Arisu remains captured. A game is again initiated but this time at the Beach. There are again dramatic developments that show how man can return to a primeval state when his life is threatened.
There's also a special chapter here following a boy before and after his arrival at the Borderland so we'll see how that continues.
I'm definitely a fan of this and I hope it continues being consistently good.
Recommended.

The moment that you realize the Beach has been turned into a game, this volume kicks into a higher gear. This whole series feels like it's just been constantly ramping up. And yet, this volume does slow down a bit. It introduces the first side story of the series, which I didn't realize was as prevalent as they are (There's 22 chapters worth of them in total). It was a really good side story, but I'll get into that in the next volume.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

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 WAS THE BEST VOLUME YET!
The character growth with Arisu made me so sad and yet happy at the same time- the scene where he hallucinates seeing his friends was so amazing. This book was filled with action and really delved into human psychology in high pressure situations.

Until this volume i had generally been liking the live action more. But some detail in this volume that didn't get into the live action made the manga equal to me in quality. I like the side story game--another great psychological twist. I also like the further exploration of grief and trauma Arisu goes through, mourning his lost friends when he is isolated for hours after being tortured and wanting to join them in death. That part is heartbreaking. I'm a bit eyerolly with the attraction between Arisu and Usagi, but meh, i can imagine being near death all the time and being high school-aged can accelerate feelings of attraction for each other. Plus they spend those few days and nights alone together... Anyway, great volume.

This volume continues to explore the beach and those that reside in it. Not to mention, the much coveted Ten of Hearts game begins, to be continued in volume 6. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the introduction of a side-story in this volume! We are introduced to Hayato Dodo, and get to witness his first day in Borderlands as well as his first game in the Four of Hearts. Both the character and the Four of Hearts game was absent in the Netflix series, so this was extremely exciting to read. Can't wait to see this character developed further, and especially can't wait to see how the Four of Hearts game concludes. 5/5

Aunque también estoy de acuerdo con las demás reseñas de que en la serie el arco de la playa se hizo un poco más entretenido, no puedo negar que a su manera, también me gusta muchísimo en el manga, porque nos da cosas que la serie no.
Amo el diseño, la manera en que nos están contando la historia, que nos mantengan al tanto de dónde están los personajes en ciertos momentos y la relación entre Usagi y Arisu. Básicamente, dos rechazados sociales que mutuamente se dan la esperanza de seguir viviendo y aprenden que no deben estar solos, que no están solos. Sin saberlo, se están ayudando con esos traumas de la infancia and I think that's beautiful.

- Witchhunten är igång. Det hela gör en så frustrerad då ingen tänker för sig själva under hotet från de ”militära” och att Aguni utnyttjar situationen för att skapa kaos i syfte av att kunna mörda så många som möjligt, varför minns jag inte, får nog reda på snart.
- En sidestory, intressant! Om ett Game där Arisu och en annan kille var med, vet inte i vilken timeline det här utspelar sig i. Heart Games är de mest intressanta enligt mig, hur personer kommer att agera är oförutsägbart när de blir så känslomässigt involved.

Todo iba tan bien hasta que me cortaron la inspiración con la historia paralela que todavía tendré que leer en el próximo tomo.
Aunque viendo qué rápido se desenvolvió todo, supondría que el final del juego de la bruja vendrá a ser por el tomo 7 u 8 (espero), para poder leer los siguientes 10 como continuación a todas las preguntas que tengo... y porque tampoco me apetece leer las series paralelas.

20-23 + historia paralela
Ahora sí me parece realista Arisu, no es un hombre de acero al que se le puede caer el mundo y en solo dos o tres días levantarse y como si nada. Apenas se muestra que sigue en duelo por la muerte de sus amigos y que intenta cargar con la muerte de ellos.
La historia paralela es un extra que te saca de la historia, el chico que la protagoniza es ... ¿lamentable? En realidad no se como se le podría clasificar en un mundo como ese.

عجبتني هنا تفصيلة إنه الفندق نفسه طلع جزء من اللعبة وإنه سايبهم فيه عشان يزنقهم ويبقي هما نفسهم مرة واحدة جزء من لعبة كبيرة ويموتوا كلهم ، لسه متكشفتش تفاصيل العالم ولا مين مصممه ولا عايز يوصل لإيه ولا ازاي وليه دخلوا كلهم بس يعني ادينا مكملين مع شوية المرضي النفسيين اللي معندهمش مانع من ارتكاب أي حاجة وكل حاجة علي أمل نوصل للتفاصيل اللي مكنتش موجودة في المسلسل ، وأتمني ميبقاش علي طريقة The Walking Dead كده لما القصة لخصت ومعرفناش برضه

Un jeu à grande échelle qui cache en réalité un déroulé plutôt classique. Dès ce début d'épreuve, il est très facile de comprendre qui est le coupable et l'auteur me semble donner des indices plus évidents que dans l'adaptation Netflix - bon j'avais compris giga rapidement aussi. Le chapitre bonus est sympa pour la découverte de nouveau jeu mais n'apporte aucune info supplémentaire.

probably the best volume yet. i really enjoyed the beach/witch arc in the show and i might just prefer the adaptation, but i absolutely loved how arisu's grief was further explored. i also really enjoyed the side-story as well!

The first side story (the poker one) was BORING. But the rest of this was so good. The main game is also one of the duller ones but the most interesting part of this series was the strategy which there’s lots of! And lots of twists as always!

Pretty great manga, intense/exciting BUT the rules of these death games are super confusing 😳🤔💕

Reminded me of the depressing state of my country. Good thing there's a side story with a game.
