Alice in Borderland, Vol. 1: Volume 1

Product Information

Arisu hopes they are close to going home, but the games the Face Cards play might be worse than any of the cruelties the Dealers came up with. A low numbered card is supposed to be relatively simple to survive, such as a locked room mystery, a 10 card far more difficult. on the day that arisu wishes he could be anywhere but in his own life, where he is constantly compared - and found lesser - to his younger brother, the three friends witness strange fireworks in the sky.

Characters [ edit ] Main [ edit ] Ryōhei Arisu ( 有栖 良平, Arisu Ryōhei ) / Alice Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya [3] (Japanese); Jeremy Gee [4] (English) Portrayed by: Kento Yamazaki A video-game obsessed third year high school student (24-year-old in the Netflix series) who "does not fit in with his family". This is the first volume where Aso seems like he may not have a clear path ahead for his parallel world. Anyway, these first two volumes were quiet awesome and I'm definitly going to continue with the series.The Queen of Hearts is revealed, although her identity is not really a surprise (that would have happened had one of the “friends” of Arisu turned out to be a Queen). The characters in the TV series are a few years older and Arisu is not so vocal about his desire to get away from reality, which makes the Alice in Wonderland inspiration better clarified in the source material than the TV series that adapts it. The third and last OVA episode was bundled with the limited edition of the 14th volume of the manga on February 18, 2015.

Our main protagonist, Arisu (whose name is a riff on “Alice”) is a hopeless high-schooler, exhausted by every aspect of life.The trio are at a train station when they see fireworks so blinding they have to cover their eyes, and when they open them they find themselves back in Karube's bar, which is now abandoned and all of the buildings covered in vegetation. The most laid-back and humane of the gamemasters, he is the only gamemaster who Arisu deeply respects. She meets ten various men and women who, like herself, have lost their memories and wear picture cards of playing cards. catching a glimpse of this strange phenomenon is all it takes to send arisu, karube, and chota careening into a world that resembles their own - but is eerily, dangerously, violently, different.

Arisu hopes they are close to going home, but the games the Face Cards play might be worse than any the Dealers ever came up with. In the Netflix series, the two never fall out and she constantly asks people if he is okay after they are separated. At last thanks to VIZ Media, we now have an English edition being published in quarterly installments, and the first volume is a massive 344-page paperback collecting the first eight chapters in two parts. An action-packed thriller and source of the hit Netflix drama where the only way to survive is to play the game! Suguru Niragi ( 韮木 傑, Niragi Suguru) / The Jub Jub Bird Portrayed by: Dori Sakurada A young yet dangerous member of "the Beach", described as being "aggressive due to his complicated past".Several games later however, the Mad Hatter is killed and the Beach is turned into the game stage for the Ten of Hearts, the final game of the first stage.

the only part of the tv show that i preferred to this source material is chota's characterization - he's kind of a perv in the manga but more endearingly awkward and soft in the show? A bit of squid game, a bit of battle royal, a bit of gantz, we get a lot of fun elements and stories placed into one. Storia avvincente, ritmo incalzante e non mancano le riflessioni su cosa significhi vivere e morire. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Not that that really matters either - I wasn’t hoping to read a modern manga retelling of that story anyway, and there are other books to come so maybe it becomes clearer as the series progresses.Karube and Shibuki argue, causing Chota to have to guess the answer quickly and have arrows fired at them. In the game “Four of Clubs,” four new players are challenged in four trials involving an underground bus. But instead of being worried, Arisu feels alive for the very first time in his life and relishes the freedom of this lifeless city. Rizuna An ( 安 梨鶴奈, An Rizuna) / The White Queen Portrayed by: Ayaka Miyoshi An executive member of "the Beach" who attempts to win difficult games through rational thinking.
