I've been hunting for legit places to read 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic' ever since I finished the anime, and the safest bet for English readers is the official publisher's outlets. Viz Media holds the English license, so you can buy digital volumes and physical copies through Viz's website, or pick up the ebooks on stores like Amazon Kindle and ComiXology that sell Viz-licensed editions. I usually grab a digital volume on sale and a physical copy for shelf pride.
If you prefer brick-and-mortar, major bookstores such as Barnes & Noble and local comic shops stock Viz volumes (or can order them). Don’t forget library apps like Libby/OverDrive or Hoopla—your library might have digital or physical copies, which is a great legal way to read without spending much. Buying through these channels helps the creators and keeps more series available officially, which matters to me whenever I’m re-reading Aladdin’s early chapters with a cup of coffee.

Fun little manga trivia I love dropping in conversations: 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic' was collected into 37 tankōbon volumes. I got into the series while grabbing a random volume at a used bookstore and then realized I needed the whole set—so yeah, 37 felt like a commitment I happily made.
The manga ran from 2009 to 2017, written and illustrated by Shinobu Ohtaka, and those 37 volumes cover the full main story arc. If you’re hunting them down, the official English releases (licensed and printed by Viz Media) also follow that 37-volume run, so you don’t miss anything when switching editions. There are spin-offs and side stories like 'Magi: Adventure of Sinbad' that expand the world, but the core narrative is neatly wrapped in those thirty-seven books.
If you’re the type who likes collection projects, the set looks lovely on a shelf and reads surprisingly fast once you’re invested. I still find myself recommending specific volumes to friends depending on the arc they want—so if you want a pointer on where to start, tell me your mood and I’ll recommend a volume or two.

Bright morning vibes here — if you’re asking who made 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic', it was created by Shinobu Ohtaka. The manga began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Sunday in 2009 (the first chapter appeared that year), and quickly grabbed my attention with its mix of adventure, mythic motifs, and smart character work.
I fell into the series the way I fall into good playlists: one chapter becomes three. Ohtaka’s blend of Arabian Nights-inspired worldbuilding and classic shonen energy made the story feel both familiar and fresh. It ran for several years, collected into multiple tankōbon volumes, and even got a popular anime adaptation in the early 2010s. If you haven’t started it, expect epic journeys, charismatic leads, and enough political intrigue that you’ll want to take notes while you read.

I still get a little excited whenever someone asks about this series, because the world of 'Magi' feels so alive even after the main run finished. To be clear: there isn't a direct sequel manga that continues the primary storyline after 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic' wrapped up. The original manga tells a complete arc about Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, and the broader political upheavals, and that main plotline doesn't have a straight follow-up volume that picks up where it left off.
What you do get is a very popular and well-loved spin-off: 'Magi: The Adventure of Sinbad'. It's essentially a prequel/spin-off that dives into Sinbad's youth, how he became a king, and the events that shaped the Seven Seas Alliance. It was released as its own manga and even got an anime adaptation, so if you want more lore and backstory, that's the obvious place to go. There are also side stories, light-novel tie-ins, and various adaptations that expand the universe, but no official sequel manga continuing the exact main cast story. If you're hungry for more worldbuilding, start with 'The Adventure of Sinbad' — I still enjoy revisiting those origin moments whenever I want more context for Sinbad's choices.
