This manga is just heartbreaking, but the storyline is something!



It's a combination of clever and cruel storytelling.

I did not expect that way; that is why they won.

[Silvia ❄️]

Diventa sempre più impellente la necessità di sapere cosa sia Borderland e se un giorno si potrà tornare nel mondo reale.
Nel frattempo, però, i protagonisti decidono di non reprimere più i loro sentimenti, poiché le loro vite sono costantemente appese ad un filo.

[Xfi]

Seguimos sobreviviendo en Borderland, seguimos sin respuestas pero cada vez con menos preguntas.
El tomo 6, que se ha hecho esperar mucho, se divide en dos partes muy diferentes.
En la primera asistimos al final del juego de "Picas", espectacular y con alguna pérdida esperada, pero después la historia deriva hacia el esperado romance entre nuestros dos protagonistas, el intensito Arisu que ya aburre un poco con sus traumas y la (hasta ahora) fría Usagi. Demasiado azúcar para una historia que hasta ahora iba de sangre, traiciones y bajos instintos.
La segunda parte nos presenta a personajes nuevos en un nuevo juego de "Corazones"...y ahí si que se pone la cosa bien. Muy bueno y recordemos que los juegos de corazones son los psicológicos, directos a manipular la mente de los jugadores.
Como siempre queda a medias para que las respuestas las tengamos en el próximo volumen...a seguir esperando.

This arc was much better in the live action series. Impressed with what Netflix did to the manga series. Kyuma is the best.

[Rod Brown]

Another mixed volume in this uneven series. The first half is pretty good as the confrontation against the King of Clubs involving the main characters has some real ramifications. But the second half introduces 20 new characters for a new game that might be interesting if it involved anyone I cared about. As it is, the deaths are fast and meaningless and fairly boring. And unfortunately this game continues over to the next volume, so I'm not particularly eager to grab that book right now.

kissing arisu's brain as we speak

[Stacey-Lea]

Sorry but where is Chishiya?!

[Danielle]

I cannot get enough of this series. Even though I’ve seen the tv show and know what’s coming next… it’s just SO GOOD

Arisu and Usagi are everything<3

Kinda sad the original novel version doesn’t have Chishiya in the Jack of hearts game!! Would have loved to have seen him there.

Now to wait for volume 7…

Adoro questo manga per la potenza dei sentimenti, che non sono posticci come potrebbe accadere quando si toccano degli argomenti così tragici. La bellezza di Alice in Borderland è proprio la sincerità e la crudezza delle emozioni. Cosa significa vivere, e se è giusto interrogarsi su questo o su chi si vive, questo l'argomento principale del volume.
Sia la morte di Tatta sia quella di Kyuma mi hanno stupito e trapassato. Un takabon pieno di tristezza, speranza, rinascita. Che si conclude con il fantastico game del Fante di ♥️. L'ho già detto che amo i game di ♥️? Ecco questo è il mio preferito.

Volume 6 was a real page turner. Once I picked it up I could not put it down, I didn't want to put it down. Can't wait for volume 7!!

Mixed feelings with this volume.

I prefer the way the live action did the King of Clubs game. Something about that arc in this volume just did not interest me. In terms of the Solitary Confinement game, I would’ve loved to see Chishiya in it but I’m still enjoying the game. This game makes me want to pick up the next volume even though I know how it ends.

In terms of Arisu and Usagi, I love their relationship down but I prefer how everything that happened in this volume happened in the live action. Like no, please do not have sex in the stadium next to dead bodies. Even if they left the stadium to have sex in the tent, still just no. Also the live action just felt like it gave me more. It just felt more intimate (?). I feel like the live action was just very well done and now I appreciate it even more. Still excited to pick up the next volume!

Se acaba el juego del rey de treboles.

El prefinal, la estrategia y eso esta divertido. pero el final ya que suman los puntos y que pase luego eso, si es muy plot conveniwnt que exista esa apertura, y se desperdicia considerando que para eso cierto personaje hace algo top.

y pues postfinal, la tipica escena de manga de "queria ser amigos" .

luego flashbacks y lo de Arisu con su decision.

De ahi pasamos al siguiente juego de la jota de xorqzones, psicologici de 20, adivinar el simbolo atras de tu cuello, confias en que te diran la verdad.

Suena interesante, pero creo que por ahi fallo un poco en deshacerse tan pronto de cierto persoonaje.

va avanzando bien

Critical Score: B
Personal Score: C

Not as bad as the last one, but subpar for the same reasons. This series has really fallen off :/

[Ellie]

It hurts more and more each time

4.5 ⭐️

[Jaella]

Love when the characters decide life is worth living, they’d all survive the apocalypse

[Alecia]

The twistedness of these games and the exploration of the human mind in stressful situations is truly so fascinating.

Amo. Amo. Amo 🖤

[Leen Gilis]

Again, this was a volume I really enjoyed. This manga continues with the game of the King of Clubs, a team game. However, as soon became clear, not everyone is suitable as a team player. I need to admit I really enjoyed reading about this game and the character developments. I also like the differences with the Netflix adaptation.

Furthermore, we follow the Jack of Hearts, a game about betrayal. It becomes immediately clear that you can trust no one, and therefore, this was such a thrilling read. I'm very curious how everything will continue in the next volume.

As always, I also enjoyed the background stories about both the main characters and the side characters. It really made me understand their decisions and thoughts more.

So again, this was a thrilling read with beautiful artwork. I can't wait for volume 8 to be translated!

[Danielle]

I know it's all a part of the game, but the fact that multiple new characters are introduced each volume makes it much more difficult to keep track of who's doing what. I'm interested to see where the psychological game goes for the next volume, but so far it's pretty basic in showing how people will turn on others to save themselves.

Reading these in such quick succession is not making it easy to write reviews. I’m feeling the same things I’ve felt for the previous installments. I’m invested in the games, whether they follow the main characters or not. However, some of the games are feeling drawn out when they’re as split up as some of them are. I also feel like the character development happens pretty quickly. I’m wondering how things will compare when I watch the show.

I’m excited to see where Solitary Confinement goes in Volume 7. I definitely have my theory about how the Jack of Hearts is.

[Toni]

Oh boy, the face cards are brutal...
The King of Clubs game ended with me crying, as did the live action adaptation... If you know, you know.
I am enjoying The Jack of Hearts game, it is slightly different to how they adapted it to screen, but enjoying it nonetheless... The bloody carnage!
I'm very intrigued to what else has been tweaked for the show version of this series.
I am still very sad that this binge is coming to an end soon!
Time to move onto the next volume...

[elvira (Keku) &#x1f60b;]

Now that I’m finally reading the manga after loving the show for a while I finally came to the book where the character I found comfort in right away while watching the series didn’t make it, I knew it would probably happen in this book because of how the 5th book ended but still it hurt, I love Kodai Tatta so so much. ❤️‍🩹

[Alice in Borderland - Vol. 6 → ☆☆☆.5]

Mi fa piacere che rispetto alla serie Arisu e Usagi riescano a interagire come due 'normali' persone che provano sentimenti reciproci, ma francamente il game del Jack di cuori senza in contributo di Chishiya risulta solo una carneficina che si conclude con l'incontro degli ideali di due tizi randomici.

[Jenny Clark]

This concludes King Of Clubs and starts Jack Of Hearts. I do wish at least one player in hearts would be someone we had followed, as this is honestly the best story so far, its got so much tension in it.

Check out my YouTube channel for bookish videos and monthly wrap ups!

Tatta😭😭😭

My heart is broken!

The romance really is way better in the manga compared to the awkwardness in the show that makes me laugh, and Arisu's back story is so much worst!

The Jack of hearts game was thrilling! Since it was very different from the netflix adaptation it got me playing along and falling in my bets hahaha, very interesting and well thought!
