Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Vol. 13

Daughter like the series. No complaints so far.

This volume goes through most of the Pirate Kids arc. The arc itself is kind of boring, especially compared to vol. 12, but it is a good read and the art just keeps getting better with each subsequent volume.

fun

~3.5/5I’ve been wanting to read this series for a while, but just haven’t gotten around to picking it up. But now it’s definitely high on my list.Admittedly, since I haven’t read any of the previous books nor seen the anime, there wasn’t very much of a synopsis for the characters or story. I was more or less just thrown into the story, but thankfully it was pretty easy to follow.The characters are all in an in-between phase at the beginning, about to head off on their own. We see some new friendships forming, some closer bonds, as well as the characters having to say goodbye for now. Alibaba and the group make up with much teasing (though I don’t know what they were fighting about), Morgiana and Hakuryu have a bit of a shy flirtation going on (mostly from Hakuryu, though, who gets adorably embarrassed around her). Aladdin is a pretty happy kid, among all this.In the second half of the book, the group gets attacked by pirates, and that ends with a cliffhanger that I’m actually quite interested to see where goes. They’re fighting a hypnotizing mother character, which is disconcerting. Through all that, though, I’m impressed by all of their fighting abilities and magic use (particularly Morgiana and Hakuryu). They also stay underwater during a fight much longer than I think is humanly possible, but maybe that’s just me.Overall, this volume has me more excited to catch up with the series. The artwork is really pretty, the comedy is fitting and almost cartoon exaggerated, but in a good way. I like all the characters and am interested to get to know them fully.A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, and Erik Jansen from MediaLab PR. Thank you so, so much![More of my reviews are available on my blog, Geeky Reading, to which there's a link on my profile.]

I mean, it's freaking magi, what else should I say? I can't just spoil it...If you're interested in the story, check out myanimelist website and search for this.As for print quality, it's the usual viz media print. Typical; nothing much to say about it.
