The day to day life of Amira and the boy she had to marry. All about his family (her new family), their life together, and more.I read a chapter of this one a few months ago and instantly fell in love with the art, with the characters, with the setting. Then again, I shouldn't have been surprised, I just adore Kaoru Mori's manga. :) And then for my birthday I got this volume so I could finally read it entirely.This was just a stunning manga about an arranged marriage between a girl and a boy. IIve 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
5 stars for art and 3 for the story line. The author says in the afterword through the use of manga that she became enamored with Central Asian culture and history in high school. The story is mainly set in a town on the Caspian Sea (possibly Turkmenistan) and the characters are Turkic people. The author describes the bride, Amir, as "good with a bow," older sister-type wife," worldly wise(about chickens and rabbits and such)," "wild," "naive," "strong," "but still a young lady," and "but still
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
|Review in EN & FR|This first volume is an introduction to the characters, their customs and story. I absolutely loved the drawings and the finely crafted details of each of their outfits! There aren't many twists, we follow the arrival of the young wife to her (even more) young husband and their relationship is very tender. It's a relaxing read and I look forward to the next volume!+ : amazing drawings, charming characters, zen story- : /-------Ce premier tome sert d'introduction aux
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
