I was a little bothered by the age difference in this one. I know it's historically accurate and that it would have happened the opposite way too, but I really prefer my couples to be at least 15 years old and within 3 years of each other. I make exceptions, but this one is still in the squick zone...If you can get past the age difference (which is difficult because they mention it either subtlety or blatantly every few pages), the story is very sweet and interesting. I liked the family dynamics

As a kid I was fascinated by stories of the Silk Road, so imagine my delight when I stumbled upon this Manga series set in Central Asia in the 19th century. This historical fiction graphic novel slowly reveals the culture, artifacts, and traditions of people we don't often get to read about. The story itself centers around Amir Halgal, a young woman who finds herself married to a twelve year old boy, eight years younger than herself. Over the course of this book she settles into married life,

I really like the art style, and so far it has an interesting storyline. Mori, the author, obviously put a lot of effort into the research behind the story. And especially into the art work - all of the costumes, especially the women's are very detailed and elaborate. A bit silly - my favourite thing out of the artwork is the way the author draws the lambs - they're so cute! haha... It's about a girl named Amir (20) whose family arranges for her to marry a young boy named Karluk (12). It's all

I happened to accidentally stumble upon this series in the library, today, and grabbed the first three on impulse. I will probably end up reading all three before I go to bed, tonight. The artwork of these books alone deserve five stars; that the story is sweet and interesting just makes it that much better. Seriously, everything is so detailed that I find myself staring at each panel, trying to drink up every penstroke. If you're into manga at all, I'd recommend this one.

Actually, books 1 & 2.Definitely many beautiful drawings (intricate embroidery, landscapes...) and rather original theme, set around Central Asia's steppes, a couple of hundred years ago, not exactly sure when.However original the setting might be, it's immediately recognizable as a Japanese manga. You get the usual cheap tricks like fan service (view spoiler)[ Boobs. Don't have anything against them and it was kind of artistic, but it still felt like a trick shot to me (hide spoiler)].

Ive been keeping up with this series since it started serialization in Japan back in 2008. For those of you into the manga/anime genres, youll know the authors previous work (Emma), which takes place in Victorian England. This new historical slice-of-life story takes place several centuries earlier in central Asia, in whats hinted near Mongolia. Her talent for storytelling of worlds past has only grown since then. Yen Press brings it to us with perfection (not to mention excellent packaging) for

Ending on a cliffhanger is a fantastic marketing technique, especially since it amplifies the readers excitement for the next book.But if I did not have the second volume in my possession right now, I would be so darn mad at A Brides Story, or more precisely at Kaoru Mori, the author, for doing this to me. This is quite different from other manga stories I have read in the past. For starters, it does not focus on the romantic relationship between the two main characters. Moreover, It does not
