Mahou Tsukai no Yome - The Ancient Magus Bride
The romance/ slice-of-life/mystery manga of the year (for me). Which has both lovable character, excellent plot and pacing, deep lore, with a touch sense of humor and adorable moment. The actual description is: Quote:

Ah good - you made a thread for it. ^^
Ch 9 was just released a day or so ago, and it is more of the same - very interesting writing and compelling characters. Must admit I also really like the art too!

A pretty interesting manga. The settings and characters are very nice and the couple even has some cute non creepy moments which might seem odd, but you really get it as you read further and see developments between them. The pairing is not sexualized at all and can be really sweet (that chapter alone with Titania & Oberon can make you go D'aaaww).
The world also makes you want to see more of it as well as the quirky side characters.

Was giggling at the note about the ring through "left one is too early"... (not to mention the shivering mandrake when she picked up its petal....) Quote:

This manga slowly became my most favorite manga of all time.
With Chise becoming my favourite female character. She already rid of her damsel-in-distress status and showed to be very capable in protecting herself and others. And i like how the author skip straight to the point, not wasting too much time to explain how can Yuris (the black dog) can turn to human, or the relationship between Yuris and Isabel. Or why he protected her and reacted like he did. With so few frames and words dedicating to them, but you can see how much Yuris loves her sister/master. And the sad tone behind his words. This work already reached the threshold of mere manga, and slowly becoming a piece of art by itself.

A friend bought the tankoubons and convinced me to read it!
Needless to say I was superrrrr hooked. Very fun story! The artwork's amazing. Quote:
My favorite is the dragon scene so far (kinda early on), but the rest is great too. The bonus short story with Volume 02 was cute as well. Too bad this is a monthly, I could use a biweekly dosage of leisure. |

Somehow the story and art feel like it was a traditional fantasy story. Pretty rare considering the boom of battle manga with "nakama" could make you gary stuu nowadays... I agree that it could be called a piece of art. No wonder it was nominated for the eight manga taisho. It was number two in kono manga wa sugooi! as well.

It's a great manga, but it's also really straightforward. There's just not much to say, especially since there aren't many translated chapters. It reminds me a lot of the feelings I get when I watch Mushishi. More of a "classical" style of storytelling, as opposed to something that feels more like a comic book. And the art is absolutely gorgeous, of course.

So I just found this in my local B&N. Refreshing after reading so many series revolving around fanservice and harems. A tale of a girl who knew only scorn and a monster that never knew affection and their baby steps to taming that mysterious fickle beast called love.

Couldn't agree more! I thought the chapter focusing on Silky to be excellent in every way - art, storytelling and character development. It really is an excellently done series.
