An epic dungeon-busting adventure inspired by One Thousand and One Nights!

Deep within the desert lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin may be just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks.

Together with the djinn Ugo and his friend Alibaba, Aladdin sets out to find his fortune in the depths of the endless dunes...

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Although characters like Aladdin and Ali Baba appear in Ohtaka's (Sumomomo Momomo) riff on One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, they bear little resemblance to their namesakes. Instead, they, and the series, have more in common with typical shonen fare (i.e. manga aimed at adolescent boys): Aladdin, a naïve yet extraordinarily powerful youngster, partners with Alibaba, a materialistic yet good-hearted caravan driver, to explore and conquer 14 mysterious and treasure-laden dungeons scattered throughout the world. By blowing into his magic flute, Aladdin can summon the hulking body parts (but not the head) of his djinn, Ugo. It's a highly effective and visually comedic power reminiscent of the elastic body of Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece. In fact, the series reads remarkably like a landlocked version of that bestselling pirate serial, but ultimately lacks enough distinction to avoid feeling like a retread. Ohtaka's art also does little to distinguish the series from the herd of comedic adventure manga, but it doesn't misstep anywhere and is sure to please its target audience. (Aug.)

Great Fantasy Series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

Magi is a fun and interesting fantasy series. I first got acquainted with the world of Magi through the television series. Fans of the animated series might be disappointed with the major plot differences between the original manga and the animated adaption. For example, the very first chapter doesn't even happen in the TV adaption. But differences aside, I'm going to just focus on why I loved this volume. I won't delve too far into the story since it's only the beginning of a grand adventure.

The narrative is a good blend of humor and drama. Neither negatively interpose each other and seamlessly work together to make certain scenes hilarious and memorable. While some of the gag jokes, like Ugo's sensitivity to women, may seem a bit much, it doesn't throw the overall mood off of the scene.
One thing I have to nit-pick on is the lack of dark skinned characters . . . In an Arab-themed story. It just seems . . . Odd.
Thankfully the characters are likeable and have interesting personalities, including the sides. The art's pretty well drawn and the pacing of the panels is good.
I think there was maybe one grammatical error but the translation seems to be fairly well done and accurate.

My cup of tea!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

Magi is definitely my cup of tea so to speak. One thing that made it an instant read was it was of the fantasy adventure genre which is one of my favorites. While its premise is a another take on the Arabian nights theme, it has a will of its own. It takes that theme and make it as if it was its own. There is a lot of heart beating in it from what I can see so far. From the characters that are introduced, the place they go, and the things they do the story really offers a lot to the table. From what I get of the series it really is light and fun, yet it definitely has a serious side to it. It has so much of everything; action, adventure, humor you name it. All in all I really enjoyed myself while reading it and hope to continue enjoying it.

Great Manga!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

Loved this manga since I found it online in 2011, so happy it's now being translated into English (I just hope they keep the proper names, Alibaba Saluja, Judal, etc.)

This manga is a wonderful adventure not like the actual 'Aladdin' we grew up with from Disney. It revolved around a young boy on a quest to find out who he is, with a new found friend (Alibaba), he enters into a dungeon, in an attempt to find the metal vessel housing his friend Ugo (a djinn kept in the flute around his neck.)

It's got action, adventure and comedy and is great for ages 13 & up, well really for all ages but some people get antsy about letting their kids see how men/boys would react in a brothel.

One of the best new series!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is one of the best mangas I have ever read. Admittedly the rest of the story is not as great but the first volume was really something special. The comedy was far better than the comedy of perhaps any other manga or anime I have read or watched. The story is very intriguing and will keep you guessing. For those who watch the anime you may be pleasantly surprised by the manga. The anime leaves out a lot of minor parts of the story and does not do justice to the comedy (seriously, the anime butchers the jokes). This is really worth reading.

Terrible Series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really don’t recommend wasting any money investing in the manga if you’re a fan of the anime. The storyline that begins after the second season follows Aladdin’s parents and how he was born. It takes place during times of war. It was very difficult to follow and had a bunch of boring filler. It takes place over several volumes and practically becomes an entirely different manga.

When the story returns to the present day, it is revealed that they are fighting the same enemy in the present as they were in the past. There is more war, followed by a 3 year time skip when the world awkwardly fasts forwards through an industrial revolution giving them warped versions of modern technology, like cell phones that are literally sea shells.

The ending was incredibly confusing, disappointing, and just plain weird, featuring a great hero turned greedy villain taking on the original villain. Thus the evil essentially wiped itself out without any redemption for our lost hero. It felt like nobody really won and the epilogue was a brief cliche of a finally peaceful world, but there was no more magic.

The anime was actually very good if you can accept the fact that it doesn’t come with a satisfying ending.

One of my favorite series from the very beginning

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

One of my favorite series from the very beginning! I watched the anime and after deciding how addicted I was to this story, I decided to read the manga. It has by far become one of my favorite and I buy the new volumes as soon as I see the next one has been released. I definitely recommend this manga! It is such a unique and creative change from the typical high school romance and comedies you see all the time overflowing in the stores.

Interesting twist on a well known story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

As a fan of the Disney interpretation of the Arabian Nights' story of Aladdin, and a manga enthusiast, I decided to give Magi a go when it was recommended on my Amazon page. I was not disappointed.

Following the standard plot line of Aladdin, a young Arabian male in possession of a magical Djinn/Genie, the author takes a new approach and turns him into an innocent young boy who has befriended said Djinn (rather than making a wish) and is just looking to enjoy life, locate the Djinn's Metal Vessel (the Djinn is temporarily residing within a metal flute), and make some new friends along the way. One such friend is Alibaba; an indebted delivery boy who's dream is to become rich and live a life of supreme comfort and luxury.

The author then adds an RPG-esque twist to the story by adding in Dungeons; ruins of an ancient civilisation, filled with treasure and magical items, but which are very difficult to clear and filled with monsters and other dangers. The first Dungeon appeared 14 years prior to the events of the story, and when 2,000 researchers and 10,000 soldiers entered it but failed to return, it became known as a "Hole of Death" and was avoided. Eventually, a lone boy emerged, accompanied by a blue giant carrying treasure. After having been cleared, the First Dungeon disappeared and others began to appear around the World. It is in one such Dungeon, one which has existed for 10 years and has not yet been cleared despite numerous attempts by adventurers and treasure seekers, that Alibaba hopes to find untold treasure and Aladdin hopes to find the Djinn' Metal Vessel.

This manga is very cutesy and filled with simplistic humour, but is a fun new twist on a beloved classic. I found many of the facial expressions amusing and happily read the entire first volume, consisting of seven chapters, in one sitting and am looking forward to starting the next volume.

Overall, a fun and entertaining manga that can be enjoyed by both the youthful and more mature alike. It was a pleasant read, despite slowing down a bit towards the end and a few cliché moments. I give it a 9/10 :)
