The Ancient Magus' Bride Vol. 6

Beautiful just beautiful

My son loves graphic novels and this didnt disappoint! Fantastic graphics and storyline!

This volume of The Ancient Magus' Bride continues the series' high quality. Elias finds himself a bit perturbed; Chise is starting to make friends, a situation that he finds discomforting. She does what amounts to a girls' day out with Alice, the alchemist Renfred's apprentice. She learns Alice's story, which is an unsettling but hopeful one. Then, around Christmas, Chise and Elias encounter Stella, a girl visiting the town who is trying to find her brother, who somehow got lost when they were playing. It gets stranger when her parents tell her she's an only child and never had a brother. What follows is a fine tale about the potentially high cost of saying nasty things to your relatives. Certain supernatural entities just might take you too literally. We also get to learn more about Hazel, the centaur delivery person, who's been a cameo figure up to now, but proves most engaging. This volume comes with a bonus booklet with a nice little story about Chise and Elias having a talk about things that scare them. This is a fine volume of what has proven to be an excellent series.

Still like the series. The characters are growing even if they struggle to do so. Looking forward to volume 7.

It's been a very long time since I have been so into a manga I literally count the days to the release of new chapters. This series is stunning, both for it's delightful artistry, but also for it's storytelling. The world is immersive, expansive, and feels limitless. The characters are captivating, compelling, and each chapter just leaves you wanting more. Hand's down one of the most thorough world's I've had the pleasure to get sucked into, the lore is just so wonderful and deeply integrated into the storytelling process it's a true gem and work of art. If you haven't given this series a try I urge you to do so, the anime is also wonderful and follows the manga to a T. Don't miss out on this on this one, you wont regret it!

This is another great addition to the series. There are some interesting stories and we learn a bit more about the fairy world as well as finding out about Alice's backstory. That part's actually a little frustrating, because while it means well, it goes for the classic "drugs 'r bad, m'kay" speech that is just not very effective, and perpetuates a lot of the misconceptions that are counterproductive to the goal of keeping people away from harmful substances. I could go on, but I don't wanna get up on a soapbox here. The drug angle is a bit cliche, but this installment in the series is still pretty good.

I'm in love with this series...another reviewer called this a manga cross between studio ghibli and harry potter. That was dead on. Got this today and its already been read, Along with the manga came a cute little booklet which included a bonus story of chise and Elias. I think Elias is starting to be able to identify certain new emotions while chise is expanding her world and making new friends.Have already pre-order vol. 7 for kindle app. :)

My copy not only had stained pages but it had library stickers on the spine which can’t be removed with out damaging the book. I was under the impression I was getting a new copy. Not a used copy with stickers and ink on the pages.

Very interesting, unique concept

Sin contar muchos detalles de la historia para que la descubras por tú, la historia es muy linda y tierna con una protagonista que tiene un pasado muy trágico y que justifica, mucho mejor que en la Bella y la Bestia, el motivo por el que nuestros protagonistas se queden juntos a pesar de que Elias (él que sería la Bestia) le da a Chitose (nuestra bella) la libertad inmediatamente. El formato es un poco más caro y pequeño que él de otros editoriales, posiblemente por ser más pequeña, y es para una audiencia para adolescentes por que toca temas fuertes.Además, es importante que lo compren lo más pronto posible, no se quieren perder del pequeño suplemento que viene de manera limitada con este volumen.

I loved the series and started reading the books while watching the Anime, I find it following it very closely but there are the occasional little gems in the books that are not in the anime. I love the style of are in the books more than the animated, just something about how its drawn.

En este volumen encontramos a Elías y Chise en la temporada de invierno, tenemos un arco interesante, más historias antiguas y somos testigos de cómo la relación entre los protagonistas se va estrechando. Nadie es menos importante, nuestro antagonista anda tejiendo su red en algunos volúmenes y el apartado de "Diario de Silky" es lo mejor.Este volumen además trae empaquetado un pequeño booklet con quince páginas aprox de una pequeña historia. Tanto el volumen como el booklet son de excelente calidad. Seven Seas no decepciona con los tomos y vale la pena el costo. El servicio de Amazon fue bueno, sólo un pequeño retraso para obtenerlo.

This story keeps getting better and better vol 6More background into the characters past and moving at a fast pace, more friends and a little sadness too ....
