Its chapters were collected in 18 tankōbon volumes. Alice in Borderland was adapted into a three-episode original video animation (OVA), released from October 2014 to February 2015. A spin-off series, Alice on Border Road, illustrated by Takayoshi Kuroda, was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Monthly Sunday Gene-X from August 2015 to February 2018, with its chapters collected in eight tankōbon volumes. A sequel, written and illustrated by Aso, Alice in Borderland Retry, was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from October 2020 to January 2021, with its chapters collected in two tankōbon volumes. A live-action television series adaptation, produced by Netflix and directed by Shinsuke Sato, premiered worldwide with an eight-episode first season in December 2020; it was followed by an eight-episode second season in December 2022. A third season premiered in September 2025, and features an original story beyond the manga.
