#Ancient magus bride awaiting a star order series#

The success of the manga series has led to the creation of a 3-part OVA prequel, Hoshi Matsu Hito (Those Awaiting A Star), the first part of which I will be reviewing. She has been plagued by trouble and bad luck, eventually leading up to her being sold on an auction of some kind that caters to the supernatural. She is picked up by Elias Ainsworth, an inhuman magus that seeks to take her on as his apprentice and eventual bride, and whisked away to a new life. Perhaps a faraway star which made her world a little brighter.Mahou Tsukai No Yome (The Ancient Magus’ Bride) is a story about a young woman named Chise Hatori, who has been able to see things no one else could since she was a little girl. If only because he was probably one of the few people nice to Chise in her life. Though, with that said, I must admit the Riichi story got me a little teary-eyed. It fills in some of the information the flashbacks of the series doesn’t divulge into, but not much else. Yet, the OVA pretty much doesn’t dive too deep into Chise’s past. I was really hoping the OVA would have filled in Chise’s backstory and made it so, watching the series, I’d feel less in the dark. If not to get back at Elias for whatever he may have done in the eons he might have lived. Leading me to wonder, how much is Chise in danger? With her being a rare being, surely those of the other world may want her for more than amusement. We know the faeries would love to have her to themselves, and she gets kidnapped in episode 2, but we don’t see the threat of the rat demon like in the OVA. In the series which follows this OVA, it isn’t established whether there are many out there who may seek to hurt Chise. That if you convince someone they Acknowledgement That Not All Beings are Friendly The odd-looking monsters scared her off from eating, sleeping, and one could even argue that by giving birth to Chise, perhaps her mom gained the sight as well.Īnd following that, you have to understand how the trauma of these monsters maybe pushing your mother over the edge makes you fearful about talking about them. Sadly, it isn’t clear when Chise began seeing things, but it is made clear that during the time period of adolescence, she was not in any way used to it. Highlights The Difficulties of Raising a Child Who Sees Things, Much less Being One Can these beings Chise see physically do anything to those who can’t see them?.

No sooner than she returns to the apartment she is being shipped off to someone else. Leaving Mayumi with warm feelings, in her old age, but sadly this doesn’t lead to happiness for Chise. Someone who may have had mutual feelings for Riichi but, with him becoming trapped within the library, known as Mayoiga, he never got to meet up with her and maybe see if something could happen.īut, Chise returns the book and fulfills the request. Said book, “Spring Will Be Missed” belonged to a girl named Mayumi. One he borrowed decades ago but, with him trapped in the library, he couldn’t return. Said request? He wants her to help return a book for him. Leading to him not being mad, but certainly asking for one request. Leading to every book getting eating and a huge piece of Riichi being ripped out. One which follows Chise into the library, thanks to Chise finding a way in, after Riichi tried to keep her out. Of which aren’t just her family who don’t even seek to understand why Chise is so odd. For, like Belle in Beauty in the Beast, the library is her refuge from the monsters who lurk around every corner. But, luckily, in the library, Chise can forget all the problems which sour her life. However, the only evil one might be Chise’s aunt who leaves her uncle over Chise. Someone who seems a bit weird and you almost want to assume is evil.

That is, until she stumbles upon a library in the forest. It features her mother dying, her aunt not wanting her, because her fear of the monsters she saw made things difficult, and her often being alone. One which leads to a story time.Ī story which, as with most of Chise’s past, isn’t necessarily a happy one. On this day, she discovers a book from Angelica which triggers a memory. A shapeshifter who usually walks around in dog form. In this, we learn Chise is quite studious and meet the character Ruth. Somewhere between episode 1 and episode two of The Ancient Magus’ Bride we are. The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Those Awaiting a Star doesn’t provide you extra details, per se, but does deliver a touching and tear-inducing story.
