Why Magi fans need to check it out

Orient is actually the newest manga of Shinobu Ohtaka. If the name rings a bell, it’s because she’s the mangaka of Magi, which ended with 36 volumes a few years ago. Shinobu Ohtaka wrote and drew Magi, alongside her assistants, and is now working on Orient as her newest adventure.

In the US, Orient is officially published by the American branch of Kodansha with11 volumes out so far. Moreover, with Orient being so popular, maybe Magi itself could make a comeback.

Magi The Labyrinth of Magic stage play teases fans hoping for Season 3

A new Magi stage play got announced in Japan this March 2022, with fans on Twitter hoping for a third season. In my opinion, Magi was a bit too early for its time. Right now in the era of Netflix and anime being made for a global audience first and foremost, Magi could have been a huge hit and guaranteed itself several seasons. Only time will tell if the series will come back to anime or not. What are your thoughts on Magi, and are you already reading Orient? Tell us in the comments below!
