Absolutely phenomenal

Magi is a rare manga that is simultaneously rooted deep in the shounen genre but subverts many of the traditional shounen archetypes. It always feels fresh. The extremely likeable characters, mainly composed of Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgiana, develop well throughout the story, to the point where the manga is comfortable at switching between the perspectives of the three without any problem; it never breaks off the action of one character to show the meandering life of another, but develops different stories at the same time. The magical and epic feel is helped strongly by its sources of Judaism and One Thousand and One Nights, and the wonderful art only adds to the experience.

If there's any complaint I have, is that the author often s**ts on Alibaba and his love life, despite heavily developing a potential ship. But that's not really a huge concern. Go read this manga! You won't regret it.

Different than other shounen

I like this manga. It is different compared to other hit shounen like Bleach, fairy tail and naruto in many aspects. Although I read the first 2 since I have been reading them from beginning. I can say Magi is certainly different. The first thing about Magi that is different is the reason for their fight, unlike those 2 above (dunno about naruto) which has competitive fights which cannot really be comprehended along with their regular power ups in every arc with more stronger opponents magi is much more reality based in its characters and I hope it sticks to that in future. It shows the dark sides of human like greed for money and power, jealousy, inferiority complex, frustration over social standings....etc. which leads them to do bad things and as a whole puts most antagonist characters in grey area. War, Conquest, slave trading...these where things which actually happened in history of the real world and still happens. Yes it has morality speeches like other shounen but then again it is a fact that without morality there will be riot.
Secondly the characters are not overpowered and I hope they remain like that. For example the use of magoi by finalis is limited and magicians has weak physical defence these resemble more like RPG games. so ppl who compare this to FT are certainly wrong. I just hope this doesn't go with asspull powerups in the future.
Solomon's wisidom which is a power of omniscience is powerful enough. Although Aladdin haven't really mastered it yet. I only hope he is able to refine that and not any other new power in future

This manga is amazing. At first it looks like typical manga, where you will conquer everything, in this case, "dungeon". But, after the first dungeon, that is the beginning of the story. You should not comment about this manga until that part. Especially because of annoying alladin and the ladies part, it's just a little joke.

This manga full of everything. Moral, intrigue, action, and everything. Recommended.

Alibaba drags the manga down, he gets better and then worse multiple times, its ok the first 10 times, but after that its just annoying. And the reason for that is because he is an comic relief, an unfunny one like many of the others in this manga.

Last arc?

Wonderful, solid read. Last arc seems a bit forced though, the flow from before seems to have been lost a bit, and so is my interest. Nevertheless, definitely worth reading if you are looking for a quality shounen.

this is my favourite manga of all time plus a few others but still. it broadened my horizon of manga when i read it. i love all the characters from magi and my fav character is pisti. the drawings are wonderful and it just gives me the feeling that this is the manga i've been looking for my entire life. i love it.i believe that this manga is way better than the top 4 manga's of the world (thats what i call it. one piece, naruto, bleach and fairy tail and yes fairy tails up there for those who didnt know) the story isnt too dark which is great. ahh... this will always be my favourite manga probably.

Its Not Fairy Tail !!!!

So "wotonito" said epic word " something along the lines of "... Miraculously no one died." Wow the friend of Ali Baba, Kasim is truly died. Are you truly read this Manga. Its not plot-less like Fairy Tail, its all about morality. Yes its truly Shounen cliche with moral bullshit, If you don't like this read Gantz, Berserk, or any other seinen instead. Its more feels good than any other shounen bullshit out there. Face it this is shounen there's a moral obligations for Author to give something like morality, friendship, etc unto the story. And this Magi - Labyrinth of Magic is one of the good shounen with good plot not just battling and reup like any other shounen out there. And please dont be so annoying little child commenting without reading. I will not rate this until the story is End. And i believe the Author will gave me more great reading than any other shounen especially 3 bullshit shounen you little kid love.... :p
