* MirrorCharacter: Jareth and Mizumi. Each of them fell in love with someone they thought was perfect for them (Sarah for Jareth, Jareth for Mizumi) only to have that person reject them (Jareth because he though Mizumi too shallow, Sarah because Jareth ''kidnapped her brother''). Both of them were unable to overcome the heartbreak brought on by the rejection and could not move on from it, and thus went to elaborate, underhanded lengths to try to force the one who had rejected them to love them back. And both more or less failed. Given these similarities, it makes one wonder why Jareth isn't more understanding of where Mizumi is coming from, especially since Sarah gave him the exact same treatment he gave Mizumi.

[[caption-width-right:209:[[CoversAlwaysLie You wish they looked that good.]]]]
A four-part OELManga written by Jake Forbes, which is a direct {{sequel}} to the CultClassic film ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''. The first volume was released in August 2006 and the fourth in August 2010.
The plot follows a 16-year-old Toby, whose life has been pretty much ruined by Jareth and his goblin cronies giving him everything he wanted. When his homework is stolen by a small goblin, Toby finds himself in the Labyrinth, where hijinks and adventures give way to Toby having to come to terms to actually living within the Labyrinth, finding friends (and not pissing them off) and somehow figuring out what to do about Lady Mizumi, the Queen of Cups, and her disturbing daughters Moulin and Drumlin...
----
!!Tropes appearing in this work:
* AbusiveParents: Toby's mother isn't much nicer to her son than she was to her stepdaughter, and the dad seems neglectful.
** In volume 3, [[spoiler:Mizumi absorbs Drumlin for almost messing up her plans, and locks up Moulin]]; in volume 4, [[spoiler:Mizumi resorts to OffingTheOffspring]].
* AccidentalMisnaming: Mayor Spittledrum, this time. Jareth keeps getting his name wrong. Toby doesn't, which he appreciates.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Mizumi has feelings for Jareth and Jareth is still "in love" with Sarah.
* AndYouWereThere: There's a girl in Toby's school who resembles Moulin.
** The fact from the ''Labyrinth'' novelization, that the man Sarah's mother ran off with resembled Jareth, is alluded to.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: For the past fifteen years, Toby has been getting everything he wished for (a new bike, the lead role in the school play, the correct answers on his test, etc.), and as a result has gotten into trouble with his parents, teachers, and fellow students.
* {{Bishonen}}: Jake Forbes actually referred to Jareth as one. Also Toby, especially on the covers. That's not a girl in the trope page picture.
* BittersweetEnding
* BlessedWithSuck: When Toby is forced into being [[spoiler:the Goblin King]].
* BookWorm: Moulin
* {{Cameo}}: Uncle Traveling Matt from ''Series/FraggleRock'', and the devils from [[Series/TheStoryteller "The Soldier and Death"]].
* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover artwork is done by Kouyu Shurei, author of the manga series ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alichino Alichino]]''. The inner art is noticeably... [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/multimoog/labyrinth/2.gif different in style]].
* CoolMask: Moppet always wears one, to make her look more like a goblin. It's modeled after the masks in the ball sequence in the film.
* CutenessProximity: [[spoiler: Moppet: (to water lion) Pretty! Come to play?! Heehee! (cute smile)]]
* DreamWithinADream: [[spoiler: Moppet gets trapped into Jareth's dream-trap]]
* EccentricTownsfolk: Hoo boy, you better believe it.
* EvilOverlooker: Mizumi on the covers of Volumes 2 and 3.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Mizumi
* GrowingUpSucks: Played with. Sarah has given up stage acting to become an English teacher and no longer remembers her adventure in the Labyrinth. At first it seems to be because of this trope, even according to Sarah herself. However, it's really because of [[spoiler:her LiteralSplitPersonality - at least it appears as such to begin with. Soon it becomes clear that Sarah willingly let go of her dreams, though; Jareth only made her decision permanent.]]
* HulkSpeak: Strangely enough, Skub, though a wimpy and small goblin, speaks like this.
* HurricaneOfPuns: WHY WAS THIS NOT THE VERY FIRST TROPE LISTED HERE! HEADS WILL ROLL! ALONG WITH THIS LETTUCE!
** Goblins are very fond of this.
** Brought to a head in the last Volume. Esker has frozen the ground under Moulin:
-->'''Esker''': I hope you're not getting cold feet.
-->'''Moulin''': You've been in the Goblin Kingdom too long, you're starting to pun!
-->'''Esker''': [[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOO!]]
* IdiotHero: Toby, sometimes.
* IOweYouMyLife: Why Moppet works for Spittledrum.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Jareth, very much so.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Most of the goblins, actually, though Spittledrum is probably the one that has the most exposure.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler: Moppet is actually a piece of Sarah's personality, and Moulin and Drumlin are pieces of Mizumi's.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Esker pretends to be another of Mizumi's ablations, calling Moulin "sister" - but only to get her off her guard.]]
* MakingASplash: Mizumi and her daughters' powers revolve around water, as do those of her personal huntsman/bodyguard Esker.
* MeaningfulName: "Mizumi" is Japanese for "lake". "Hana" means "flower" in the same language. A moulin is a hole through which water enters a glacier, and a drumlin is a kind of hill formed by glacial action. An esker is a long winding ridge of stratified sand and gravel in a glacial region.
* MonsterTown: The Labyrinth, of course.
* NotSoDifferent: Jareth and Mizumi. Each of them fell in love with someone they thought was perfect for them (Sarah for Jareth, Jareth for Mizumi) only to have that person reject them (Jareth because he though Mizumi too shallow, Sarah because Jareth ''kidnapped her brother''). Both of them were unable to overcome the heartbreak brought on by the rejection and could not move on from it, and thus went to elaborate, underhanded lengths to try to force the one who had rejected them to love them back. And both more or less failed. Given these similarities, it makes one wonder why Jareth isn't more understanding of where Mizumi is coming from, especially since Sarah gave him the exact same treatment he gave Mizumi.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Hana is even different from the fairies depicted in the original film.
* PersonalRaincloud: Moulin has one (with a face) constantly around her, which she keeps off with an umbrella.
* PromotionToParent: Sarah for Toby, despite their father and Toby's mother/Sarah's stepmother being present.
* ShoutOut: Hana wonders if Toby got his wings ripped off, but then corrects herself with, "Oh, of course not. [[TheDarkCrystal You're a boy]]."
** Moppet attends the ball in a very "Literature/{{Cinderella}}" kind of way.
** The talking flowers Hana encounters are from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
** The Hall of Prophecies includes [[TheDarkCrystal "When single shines the triple sun..."]] and [[TheChroniclesOfNarnia "Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve..."]].
** Cob the Exile's toy robot Mandelbrot spouts phrases of [[Series/StarTrekVoyager the Emergency Medical Hologram]], [[StarWars C-3PO]], [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]], and [[Series/DoctorWho the Daleks]], and is himself named after the mathematician.
** Mizumi is partly inspired by Xayide from ''Literature/TheNeverendingStory''.
* StalkerWithACrush: Jareth to Sarah, still. He even stalks her on her dates with other men.
** StalkerWithoutACrush: Jareth to Toby his whole life after Sarah rescues him. He has been "granting" his wishes whenever he asked for them. He even confronted him, hoping to be accepted and thanked for all of his help.
* TarotMotifs: Mizumi's title, the Queen of Cups.
* TrulySingleParent: Mizumi.
* VillainSong: Despite this being a manga, Jareth manages to get "Shadows of a Dream" in.
* VillainousGlutton: Drumlin.
* WomanScorned: Mizumi, by Jareth.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Moulin and Drumlin have blue hair.
