Synopsis

Despite having the ability to see otherworldly creatures, Chise Hatori has never considered herself lucky. Ever since her parents abandoned her at a young age, it has been the center of her hardship, driving her to the point of selling herself to the slave market, just to secure a place she can call home.

Presented to the bidders as a rare ''Sleigh Beggy''—beings who have an unusually high affinity to magical energies—Chise's last remaining hope appears in the form of Elias Ainsworth, a mysterious magus more beast than man. Rather than keep her as a slave, he has decided to make her his apprentice, as well as his bride.

Chise is not only physically transported to the English countryside where Elias lives, but also introduced to a world where wondrous things such as fairies and dragons are the norm. But she soon realizes there is as much to fear in her new life as there is to marvel at. And lying at the heart of it all is the question of whether she has fallen into the hands of something much darker than her own inner demons.

Sup,

Before I go into detail on The Ancient Magus Bride (Mahoutsukai no Yome), there are things a few things you need must consider. First, it is a slow paced story, that does a good job of creating characters that have very solid personalities and introduces a nostalgic world that doesn't feel boring, but keeps an air of mystery to itself. Though the demographic for this manga is classified as shounen, there is little to actual battles that take place in the ( at the time of this writing) fifteen chapters. The story unfolds at at a slave auction where we meet Hatori Chise, a young fifteen year old, who has been in and out of slave trading every since her mother died; add to the fact that she has been treated like an outcast and you have the perfect emo for our story. In all seriousness, she is a slay vega, think queen bee of the magic world, meaning her body has adapted to consume large amounts of magic and also be able to expel said magic. The effect does have a down side though, as it does damage to her internal system and shortens her life span. Of course, she has no idea of this until she meets her buyer/savior that comes in the form of a goat skull sorcerer by the name of Ellias Ainsworth. Now Ellias Ainsworth is very a odd character for several reasons, one is that he purchases Hatori Chise on a whim, and promises to find a way to be able to save her life; the other is that he claims that she will one day be his bride, but as to why remains a mystery as his past tell us that he has very little to with humans in general, so his purchase of Chise just seems like it is on a whim. Besides those aspects of him, there is very little that is told about him, and he mainly comes off as the badass, mysterious mentor, (compare him to kind of like Shinigami from Soul Eater, or at least I do.) Through Ellias, Chise is introduced to the magic world and the dangers that come with it. These span from the arcs that include her almost being kidnapped and taken to the fairy world, meeting a eccentric dragon tamer and actual dragons, purging the past sins of a murderer form the land, and coming across a sadistic wizard that loves to toy with dead and living only to try to fulfill his goals of self-worth; plus the wizard comes in the form of a young boy/girl (i don't fucking know, it's one of the those characters) which makes him all the more threatening. Of course, Chise is far from helpless as she as Ellias to help her, along with a cool reaper dog, and the support of a tech wizard named Angelica ( she basically makes gear to help harness magic power), plus learning how to use her powers as well. Since it's only fifteen chapters in, it's at the point to where you can pick it up and check it out to see if it's for you.

That's it for me
-Later!

Hatori Chise is only 16, but she has lost far more than most. With neither family nor hope, it seems all doors are closed to her. But, a chance encounter began to turn the rusted wheels of fate. In her darkest hour, a mysterious magus appears before Chitose, offering a chance she couldn't turn down. This magus who seems closer to demon than human, will he bring her the light she desperately seeks, or drown her in ever deeper shadows? Source: Sense-Scans

First manga of the manga artist Yamazaki Kore. Art of the characters, their surroundings and areas are very well drawn and maybe even rare read more
