Book Reviews of Return to Labyrinth Volume 3 (v. 3)
Book Review: These are so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every volume gets a little better. I am loving Return to Labyrinth. I never thought I would care about Spittledrum (The goblin mayor) but somehow I do. The writing keeps improving and I am in love with the lyrics to Shadow of a dream (a song that appears in volume 3). Each volume of Return to Labyrinth gets a little bit better.
I just wish these would be published faster. Each one takes a year and a half or so to be published which is very disappointing to me. I wish they would come out faster.
I have been a fan of Labyrinth for a very long time so I was very excited when they created the manga sequel to the classic fantasy film. The cover art for each issue of the manga is beautiful. It's true that the internal art work isn't as good but it's still a charming story and the story and internal art work improves with each volume. The portrayal of Jareth is accurate to the film. From the part in Volume 1 where Toby says "You said you wouldn't mess with me anymore!" and Jareth quips "I said I wouldn't HELP you anymore. There's a difference." to the way he abruptly leaves his own kingdom (also in volume 1), the song in Volume 3, and how he deals with one treacherous goblin. It's all very true to Jareth. It's true that the story does read a little bit like a fan fiction. Many fan fictions have been named Return to Labyrinth over the years but considering how many fan fictions Labyrinth has spawned a real sequel was bound to feel like a fan fiction of some sort no matter how well it was made.
I love the manga just so long as Jareth doesn't turn into anything horrible or die before the series is complete.
Things change. I find that most of the negative reviews of Return to Labyrinth are people who just don't want to see things change or evolve from what they loved growing up. I feel the spirit of Labyrinth lives on in this manga.
Jareth's nature is exactly as I imagined it to be including the back story revealed so far. It's eerie how true it is to my own childhood imagining about the character's history.
As I said, so long as Jareth doesn't turn into something monstrous or die I'm happy with it. I love Jareth. He has always been my favorite character of Labyrinth and now I love him even more in Return to Labyrinth. I enjoyed volume one, volume 2, two and volume 3 of Return to Labyrinth very much and it gets better with every volume. This was probably the best Manga I've read in a long time, not just as a sequel to Labyrinth, but as a manga in general. Each volume gets a little better. Volume 1 is pretty much to give you an idea of what's going on and to introduce you to some familiar and some not-so-familiar characters. It's a fun book and sadly many are not giving it a chance. Volume 2 sets the plot into motion and makes you thirsty for more. And Volume 3 is an exciting and compelling climax to the story. It keeps getting more interesting.
