Sinbad no bouken is a spinoff from Magi with it's main character being the favorite OP king of most fans: Sinbad. The story will tell you about his life and the hardships he has gone through to become king.
Story 9/10
The story starts with Sinbad's early childhood in Parthevia. His father was a soldier, but he has started to neglect his duties (he lost a leg, don't blame the guy for being unable to fullfill his duties to his country). Pretty quick there's a timeskip and Sinbad is 14 years old. He's recruited by Dragul, soon nicknamed Drakon, to join his army and help capture the

first dungeon. But Sinbad is stubborn as his father thaught him and the whole village war is something horrible. With the help of our Magi friend Yunan Sinbad goes to the dungeon on his own and his adventure starts, leading him not only to Baal, but to many more countries as well.
You might think you know a lot about Sinbad from Magi, but believe me that you don't. You like Ja'far, Drakon or Hinahoho? Those guys are here too and even their background is getting explained. Also be prepared for heartbraking scenes, your tears will flow.
Art 9/10
Though the story is written by Ohtaka, it's not drawn by them. However the art from snb is close to that of Magi. If you like that style, than I'm sure you love snb as well. Backgrounds are drawn very well and every line is drawn the way it should.
Character 9/10
Your main character is Sinbad. That's enough to love it already. Actually it's not, but who cares. The story caries his name and he's the number one of the stoyr. But there are more. Characters that don't appear in Magi are there and the ones that died in Magi are alive here as well. You can see everyone grow throughout the story. The naive Sinbad grows up and gets to understand the world.
Also, we have Rurumu (Hina's wife) and baby Ja'far. Do I need to say more?
Enjoyment 10/10
If snb is something, it's enjoyable. The serious story holds a light tone by its stupid jokes. The story is filled with action and interesting converstations as well. For those that love Sinbad, this story is nothing but heaven.
Overall 9/10
I can only say that I love snb a lot. It has been able to keep me happy during all of sadness Magi brought me (except for now though, curse you Maader). To anyone that has read Magi, snb is a must read.
