As wonderful as always!
Volume 15 is out in Japanese, which means that I can read volume 14! I am trying to minimize waiting times between volumes, you see ;)))
And here is the lovely, lovely detailed art. I wonder how Kaoru Mori manages to keep up the amazing quality, perfectionism, and very nerdy historical research volume after volume after volume… Picking up this series again and seeing Amir and Karluk is like coming home. I got a shock when somebody said that they have now been married for a year. 14 volumes and only a year has passed? I wonder where we will end up at this rate. No, no, I am not complaining! Keep them coming, that’s all I am saying.
Yes, we are still in Central Asia in the 19th century. There is unrest and a threat of war. Tribes and clans of the steppe talk about what is to be done. Should there be an alliance? Should there be marriages? Let’s have a horse race, so that grooms may prove worthy of their brides from other clans. Men are to compete with the women. ”The way a person rides never lies.”
Can you hear the hoof beats from the panels? Can you see the horses flying across the steppe? And riders exchanging glances that would melt any ice?
Most of this volume is about the horse race. Did the mangaka just want to draw lots of gorgeous horses? She says something about this in the afterword :)
The ending was very touching.

I was deeply moved by this series, and impressed by the amount of cultural nuance. Focusing on the lives of women in Central Asia, A Bride's Story doesn't undervalue women's work or their key role in the preservation of culture.
Can't wait to read it again!

GORGEOUS as always. The costume design and textile detail is stunning. And the author infuses the horse race with a thrilling sense of movement.

It’s incredible how every volume I’m convinced we’ve hit our limit regarding cast/number of brides I can remember and care about and then boom! I’m swooning and cheering over brand new characters. Kaoru Mori, you absolute mad genius.
