About

Boundary Labyrinth and Magician of Alien World (Kyoukai Meikyuu to Ikai no Majutsushi) is a fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Tsurugi Nanaya. It was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's seinen manga magazine Young Ace from 2016 to 2018, and has been collected in five tankōbon volumes.

Summary

The story follows Theodore, a young man who is pushed into a waterway by his half-brother, when he suddenly recalls a memory of his past life, in which he was a Japanese citizen known as Kagehisa Kirishima. He has been placed inside a VR MMO character he had created in Break Force Online, and he realized that his skills were still with him.

Theodore sets out to explore the Boundary Labyrinth, a dangerous dungeon that is home to all kinds of monsters. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters including a princess, a knight, and a mage. Together, they must work together to escape the border maze and find their way home.

My thoughts

Boundary Labyrinth & Magician of Alien World is a fast-paced fantasy adventure story with lots of action and excitement. The characters are well developed, relatable, interesting and unique. Theodore is a strong and capable hero, but he is also flawed and makes mistakes. The supporting characters are also well developed and add depth to the story.

The world-building is great. The author does a great job of creating a believable and immersive world. The story is set in a world that is both familiar and alien. The characters and setting are based on European medieval culture, but also contain elements of fantasy and science fiction. This makes the world feel both believable and exciting.

The story is full of twists and turns, and will keep you guessing till the very end. However, the manga can be violent at times, and some of the characters may be considered objectionable.

I've read it, and I think it's a great manga. I particularly like the way the manga explores themes of identity and self-discovery.

I think one of the things that makes Boundary Labyrinth and Magician of Alien World so good is the way it balances action and introspection. There are lots of exciting battles and adventures, but there are also moments of quiet reflection where the characters can explore their own thoughts and feelings. This gives a lot of depth to the manga and makes it much more than just a simple action story.

Overall, this is a good manga series that is enjoyable to read.

Harem Situation (Spoiler Alert)

The harem situation is handled in a mature and dignified manner. It is not used to objectify female characters or as a way to titillate the reader. Instead, it is used to add depth and complexity to the story.

The harem situation in Boundary Labyrinth and Magician of Alien World is still developing but there are a few characters who have shown romantic interest in Theodore. I think it's interesting that there are a few different women who have shown romantic interest in Theodore. It will be interesting to see how he handles this situation.

As per the latest chapters he is in a position where he already has three girls in his harem, including his maidservant, a girl from a noble family and a princess.

Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about the state of the harem in Boundary Labyrinth and Magician of Alien World. I think the author has the potential to make a great story, but it will be important for him to avoid the pitfalls that have plagued other harem stories.
