Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic

A manga about a boy with a genie named Aladdin who teams up with Ali Baba the thief to explore mysterious dungeons in search of treasure.

I liked Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic while it was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday but the battle scenes became kinda excessive toward the finale. Also Shinobu Ohtaka perfected her technique of drawing really creepy expressions throughout the series and she really leaned into those towards the ending a bit too much for my tastes. Still, it’s an beautifully drawn shonen battle manga set in the the world of the Arabian Nights and worth reading if that interests you.

Available in English from VIZ along with a good anime adaptation.
