Having been called away by Lindel at the end of The Ancient Magus' Bride Vol. 3 because it is time to undertake the task of making her wand, Chise and Elias are experiencing the longest separation they've had since they met. They'd both be surprised by how many friends they have, and these friends proceed to do what true friends do: worry and meddle.For example Lindel takes it upon himself to reveal Elias' origins, as much as either of them knows, that is, which isn't much. Lindel's master put it this way, "The obvious answer would be that this is some idiot mage or alchemist who dabbled in black magic and got caught in the backlash of their spell. But this is the opposite of that." Well, thank you for clearing that up, Master Rahab! And everybody feels inclined to give them a push because between Chise's feelings of worthlessness and Elias' insistence that he cannot feel human emotions even while experiencing them, they NEED pushing.... Maybe the occasional swift kicking.... In any event the mostly well intended help mostly does help, and Chise and Elias are communicating a lot better by the end,...or at least non-communicating less.It will be fun watching these two figuring things out in the rest of the series: The Ancient Magus' Bride Vol. 5 and The Ancient Magus' Bride Vol. 6.
I love this series because the art,characters,storyline is so damn amazing. It keeps getting better with each volume as well since we see Chise actually developing and caring more about the magical world and herself
I have read manga before and I was hesitant to read this based on the stated storyline. The idea of a young girl sold in a slave market to be both an apprentice and a bride to a supernatural being might turn one off at first but the way it is handled here removed any doubts I had about the material. Chise has a special power that makes her teacher/future husband very protective of her as he tries to show her the wider world. The growing sense of empowerment she feels and the fact that he stresses that whatever happens to her will be her choice has become a very good story and I can't wait to read more.
I absolutely adore The Ancient Magus Bride! The story is very engaging, the artwork is beautifully drawn and overall just a great manga! I recommend it to anyone that will listen to me! I wholeheartedly encourage anyone with a love of the fantasy genre to give this manga a read!!
I really like this series. Not at all what I expected. It is definitely dark and a bit grim in places but very interesting. Great art work.
This series is amazing! It is such a refreshing story and I love the world and characters. I can't wait for more volumes to come out!
Fascinating story, intriguing characters, and beautiful artwork. I am absolutely in love with this series and eagerly await the next volume.
Just keeps getting better and better. I will definitely continue ordering every manga that comes out until it's complete.
