Synopsis

Feeling unsettled about the future, high school student Ryouhei Arisu often escapes the reality of life. After hanging out at a bar, Arisu and his best friends, Daikichi Karube and Chouta Segawa, wait for the first train to arrive in the morning. Suddenly, a colorful array of fireworks set off in the sky, and an enormous blinding firework renders them unconscious.

The trio finds themselves back at the bar covered in dust, discovering that the city has become a barren wasteland. But instead of being worried, Arisu feels alive for the very first time in his life and relishes the freedom of this lifeless city. However, his bliss is cut short when the group rashly enters a festival venue. Seeing its delicacies and lively ambiance, they think the place is a dream; unbeknownst to them, it will be the setting for their first deadly game.

Together with his friends, Arisu slowly enters the mysterious area known as the Borderland—an unknown country where every game puts their lives at stake, and a single misstep can lead to their demise.

This is a series that means much to me. It’s one of those series that changes and challenges you.
This is one of the best psychological manga I’ve read, and a great thriller too.

The protagonist has great development and it inspires you.
Great villains, great side characters, and just so many things I love.
One thing I love the most is the side stories it has.
There will be chapters where the MC isn’t the main focus, and all the side stories wrap up with one another into the main story beautifully...

This story will suck you in. And it’s a ride worth riding.

Mixed Feelings
Well, I guess it was good enough for me to finish. The art is fine, good, nothing special but better than a lot of other stuff. The story itself, is a bit of a bumpy ride. It starts out very fast, and appears like it's going to be interesting, but then it sort of falls off and wanders for most of the rest of the series. I found that once the end was approaching, I was once again interested to see where the story was going to go. I think the mystery of the whole thing is it's biggest ally and will more than likely ...

Inglish is not my first language

I don't know if the Netflix series is different, but if it's the same as this manga, I want you to know that the hype is, without a doubt, 100%...undeserved. The hype this manga gained was 100% undeserved; he is surfing a wave that is not his. If you want to know why alice in borderlands is famous, go to the series, because the manga obviously doesn't deserve the hype and is nothing more than a generic psychological manga with substandard quality compared to its peers.

Alice in borderlands is yet another manga filled with expository monologues. Every action, ...
