Resumen
Fourteen years ago, mysterious buildings called "Dungeons" started to rise in various places around the world. Within these dungeons, powerful beings called djinns rule over. When a person successfully conquers the dungeon, the djinn offers their immense strength in the form of Metal Vessels, recognizing him or her as a worthy king candidate. Adventurers from many empires and kingdoms venture into the dungeons in search of their bountiful treasures and the power of djinns. However, to travel through them is not an easy task, and only Magi—legendary magicians who choose kings and develop countries—can guide people through.

After being trapped in a room for most of his life, a young Magi named Aladdin finally sets out on a journey to explore the world along with his friend, a djinn named Ugo, who he can summon from his flute. Through a series of fateful encounters, Aladdin meets new various friends and allies, and together they begin an adventure that will change the fate of the world.

I first started watching Magi out of mere boredom. I didn't expect much from the show (and honestly, I still don't), but I started reading the manga out of curiosity anyway, because I was getting a little impatient with the anime. Boy, was I blown away.

Story – 9

The bulk of Magi's story follows the story of Aladdin, a boy who travels the world to find out who he really is and what he's supposed to do. In his adventure, Aladdin's main companions are Alibaba, a young man with a strong sense of determination, and Morgiana, an ex-slave that Aladdin and Alibaba saves from captivity. Of course, they encounter bumps in the road and make wrong turns, but in the end, fate paves their destiny. The story, while occasionally light and amusing, has serious and cruel tones and themes throughout.

Art – 9

The art in Magi is fantastic. It goes from being humorous to serious while keeping a consistent style. The designs of the characters are easily differentiated from one another, the fighting scenes are amazing and full of detail, and the art always fits the mood of the scene.

Character – 10

Now this is where this manga shines. All the main characters have amazing character development and they mature on throughout the story. Aladdin does have some typical mainstream characteristics, but the back story behind him, his bond and interactions with other characters, are deep, fleshed out, and entertaining. Alibaba isn't perfect and sometimes he makes the wrong decisions, but in the end that's what makes him a character that isn't flat and boring. Morgiana, despite her superhuman strength, is determined to become as strong as Aladdin and Alibaba and help people so that they didn't live a hellish life like hers. Of course, those are just the main characters. Most of the recurring characters and even some of the minor characters have interesting back stories and actions. The manga doesn't only focus on the main three, but everyone.

Overall - 9

I rather enjoy this manga, and I'm definitely looking forward to what will happen next. However it does occasionally have its flaws and in my opinion it's pace is a bit slow (but I'm rather impatient, so that's probably just me), so I can't give it a perfect 10. It's a shounen manga that has really made its mark and separates itself from others – in a good way. Overall, I'll absolutely recommend this manga to anyone who's deciding on whether or not to read it.


//I apologize if this review sounds amatuerish, because it's my first one. If you have any opinions, feel free to comment about it !!

STORY:
This series has a very fun concept and setting. It has a middle-eastern style setting in a fantasy world of magic. It is an adventure series for the most part, not only geographically but also ventures in ideology and politics. The characters travel to different countries and are either involved in the land's political situation or partake in some sort of quest. The adventure aspect is definatly the most appealing aspect of this series, however, 2/3rds the way in, it dives deeper into politics and ideology, which is much more text heavy and differs from the "fun" - which may not be to everyone's taste. Although, personally I think the actual ending was satisfying.

ART:
The down fall of the series for me would be the art. The actual character and background designs are actually quite stunning, however the actual drawing is inconsistent, with some pages looking beautiful, and some pages looking off model, especially towards the end. I must say, the characters in their 30s look way too young, particularly Simbad, who looks younger and younger as the series progresses. Despite good designs, their actual faces lack variety, with some characters looking almost identical without their most distinctive characteristics. For someone who puts art high about anything else, it was excruciating to read. Unlike other mangaka, Ohkata Shinobu seems to be getting worse.

CHARACTER:
As I said, the actual character designs are okay, it's just the drawing skill that isn't as good. The characters are well developed, even the supporting cast. You can really understand their motivation behind their actions, making them more real and believable. You can see who the characters develop in time, it's not just a sudden change, but gradual. This is one of the few shounen that actual spans across several years with an actual sense of time, and we get to see how everyone grows.

ENJOYMENT:
Overall, I did enjoy this series. It is different from the classic shounen but is still very enjoyable. However, at times, it was really difficult to read, but other times, I just couldn't stop. I feel that it's a bit inconsistent, starting off excellently and wavering towards the final third it's run. I still recommend it as a series that actually ends properly and has a plot right from the start.

I picked up this series a couple years ago at the library and since then it's become one of my favorite manga series ever. (Right behind D.Gray-Man, which is also amazing! Go check it out!!) At the beginning it's very playful and fun with some innuendos thrown about here and there, but it get's extremely intense. The character and plot build up is very similar to shonen manga like Blue Exorcist and D.Gray-Man. All of which have a have a fun and goofy beginning that eventually builds up to become extremely serious to the point of self reflection. I absolutely love stories like that so if you liked the manga for those two, you'd love magi. (The Blue Exorcist manga is way better than the anime btw).


Story:

Like I said, it's got an amazing build up. It's very friendly and bubbly at the beginning, but towards the end it gets super serious. It's heavily influenced religion and politics creating controversy through different perspectives shown in the manga. It really reflects politics in real life where it almost seems like an opinion sounds amazing, but then another opinion is told which makes you completely contemplate your likening in the previous one and the cycle continues. It's very eye opening and makes you much more aware of everything that's going on around you. Magi's story, plot, controversy along with it's extremely good representation of people's different views and the research that must have gone into it is all terrific. (I really wish the anime kept going because it just started getting good with the Magnostadt arc)

Art:

The simplistic, unique, bubbly sort of art style holds extraordinary use of detail to bring out an intense scenes and movement throughout the series. A little bit similar to the dramatic faces used in Assassination Classroom (the manga, I'm not sure about the anime), Magi uses gruesome facial features or other characteristics besides the face to emphasize certain characters and scenes. My only problem is that with adult faces (mainly Sinbad) seem to be a bit wonky in the volumes and on the covers, and out of everything from the manga, I do like the improvement. (but yea *cough* volume 35 *cough*) Otherwise it's great.


Character:

I basically talked about the characters when talking about the plot and art. All I'm going to add is that the characters in magi really bring out the fact that we are human, and remind us readers of the basicness of being human and our needs, wants and naturalness. Besides that, the development is great and although I don't really like Sinbad (he's hella scary!!), his character is extremely well done and is the face of what I talked about with the plot.


Overall I enjoyed it immensly. I have about five more volumes to go, but I've been reading it for years (I wait for the library to buy more volumes instead of reading them online or buying them) and I reccomend it along with D.Gray-Man to everyone because of how amazing it is. The only reason I wouldn't recomend it is if you are a light reader and don't want to have to read about deep topics that make you self reflect and contimplate. If you have watched the anime, read the manga, it's better. If you haven't watched or read it, read the manga first. Like I said, the beginning is light hearted and possibly a little bit cheesy at times, but it builds up to become one of my most favorite manga of all time.

.Story :10


The story takes place in a world inspired from different civilizations. The Roman Empire for Reim, the Abbassid empire for Balbad (Bagdad) and many other references that you better discover on your own. The manga treats about a lot of serious issues like slavery, war, truth and revolutions despite the "childish" first impression it gave me. The story doesn't only focus on the "Main Trio" (A.K.A. Alibaba/Morgiana/aladin). At certain points, it really goes wild, including new characters in the team, seperating them and following everyone of them seperatly. By this way, we explore the large world created by the author and discover so many different ways of thinking and ways of life, that, at a certain point, when there is a confrontation, you don't know any longer who to support. In fact, one of the big "pluses" in Magi is that every ideology is developped and arged. Of course, like in any other shonen manga, there is a "great evil orgonisation". But them too have their own reason to fight.


. Art 8


The art is messed up. Sometimes it is cutness overload when in other times it goes really dark. And personnally, I love it. The mangaka isn't afraid of drawing flying arms or heads but has extreamly cute chibis. The outfit design is detailed and perfecty suits the atmosphere. The expressions of the characters make them seem so alive. Some of them are heartbreaking.


.Characters: 10


Other great point: characters' development. I fell in love with them. They are real. Everyone of them has a background story that affects his life. Everyone of them has his own goal. Everyone of them has a part of shadow. And we especially see that through Hakuryuu, Sindbad and Morgiana.
Morgiana is a slave that have been freed. She's extreamly powerfull sinse she's a Fanalis (a Tribe of great warriors). And this is an important point because, unlike the majority of Shonen female characters, she is...USEFULL. She isn't there for fanservice. She actually has guts. She doesn't cry for help. She solves her problems on her own and beats up whoever tries to harm her friends. Morgiana won all my respect.
Sindbad is a great king, he's hot and is willing to do anything for the sake of his country. But over the chapters, we discover a dark side of his highness. He's such a complex character that he's having his own manga (here is a link http://myanimelist.net/manga/48025/Magi:_Sinbad_no_Bouken ). To be frank, I am confused and I don't know what to think of him. Should I like him, or hate him ? Hey seriously ! Why don't you read Magi and help me ?


. Overall:9


I've started reading Magi Labyrith of magic because someone told me that it is close to One Piece.
In a certain way, it is. The art is messed up but good in its own way, the characters are nicely developped and I can only enjoy its greatness. Overall, Magi is great and the mangaka has a lot of talent but it is underreated in many countries and this should change.

Story 2
magi started with some good arcs at the very start after the end of the kingdom of magic it went downhill. It tried to pass a message of "don't try to repeat the past" but deliveried it very poorly and boring. After that we had a few reveals for Hakuryuu one of the only good characters in the entire manga and Judar, a war starts and everyone's fighting after the tragedy that happend I've started enjoying a little bit that semi war arc and then... Alibaba and Aladdin had to ruin it with Aladdin being op and throwing Judar into the damn space and Alibaba just not being that interesting at all even though what happend to him at that very moment... Aladdin got for once a bit of character development and only that one time. After a timeskip the world didn't made much sense and how Sinbad got to do all that it is later revealed that Sinbad is the final boss and he went pretty hateable character with no motivation for trying to re-create the world Aladdin grew 30cms after 3 years and Morgiana tied her hair the final arc I am just not gonna say anything about it. It was just a huge suffering

Art 8
Is actually very good backgrounds and powers etc

Characters 3
The cast went downhill due to story Judar became just a poor written character one of the only edgelords I enjoyed at start, Hakuryuu is the only character WITH a motivation the main characters are just not well developed, Sinbad also became a trash character on the last arcs, honorable mentions most of the Kou family are actually good characters Kouen Ren is a good king that will give you an actual lesson in life and have some really good moments when fighting Koumei Ren had an interesting ability and could have a good character but the author forgot about him Kouha Ren
had a personality he might seem like a killer but actually is scared of stronger enemies and cares about his army. Kougyoku Ren had a damn good development and acted realistic to the situation after the timeskip.

Enjoyment 2
Story went downhill and characters were poor written

Overall 3
Magi might start as a good journey by introducing an interesting cast,concept,story but it will go downhill at the end of the day I just don't want to see that series in front of me again that's my opinion feel free to disagree
