Shinobu Ohtaka (大高 忍, born May 9, 1983 Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese manga artist. She is best known for the creation of the manga series Sumomomo Momomo and more recently, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic.
I liked it but it was all over the place which made it confusing. We learned the details of Sinbad's plan, Alibaba's experiences after death, his new plan, Aladdin and others facing Sinbad's dungeons and many many more things. It is good that we finally learned more of these things but presenting them in a single volume makes it very hard to follow. There are very few actions and lots of conversations between characters. I still enjoyed it, especially panels with Alibaba. 2 more volumes left and now I'm not sure what will happen at the end.
That last chapter is one of my favorites in the series. Seeing all the different ideals and beliefs clash until Sinbad just drops this bombshell of an idea. I'm excited to if and how their plan will work!
Aquí nos damos cuenta como Aladdin y Sinbad son extremista de dos polos opuestos y luego esta Alibaba, que es un punto intermedio, que nos demuestra que la negociación es la base para la paz. Pero...No puedo omitir el hecho que están en un calabozo mágico hecho por la voluntad de dios de Sinbad a punto del mundo ser destruido para unirse al ruth y mientras tantos estos tipos charlan sobre capaz de dioses y universos ¡Uff! extraño los días en que los problemas era la liberación de Balbadd y la conquistas de los calabozos, eran buenos días, más sencillo y sin tanto agujeros argumentales.
Disclaimer: I watched the anime and needed to read the manga as I loved this story. Unfortunately, I binged every volume back to back each moment I was free so its hard to distinguish what happened in each volume.
2.5 stars, this series is now overly convoluted. I genuinely don't care about the moral debates. They all feel like pointless conversations tbh. I was hoping Aladdin was going to pop off.
There is so much happening in this volume, which at times was a little confusing, but I still loved each moment. Alibaba is such a Light of the series its unreal, but not only that the way the last few pages went along has me wondering about what is about to happen with 2 volumes left!
Sinbad is one complex character. Just when you begin to love him, he makes you hate him. Just when you are sure you hate him, he does something that rekindles your love for his character.
Shinobu sensei did an awesome job with his character.
Impresionante el giro que tomaron —otra vez— los acontecimientos, nunca deja de sorprenderme. Alibaba es un enorme personaje, y supera incluso a otro tan grande como Sinbad.
