desertcart.com: A Bride's Story, Vol. 2 (Volume 2): 9780316194464: Mori, Kaoru, Flanagan, William, Blackman, Abigail: Books Review: Beautiful art, original story - 'A Bride's Story' is not a typical, cliche manga. There is a solid plot with real heart and lovingly-rendered art in this series. The historical setting and its characters is original and full of fascinating details of the real culture of this region. For those who like their manga with real craftsmanship and storytelling quality, 'A Bride's Story' can't come more highly recommended. Review: This book is soooo well drawn!!! - And the content is super sweet to me. I'm actually fed up with silly puppy romance in manga so that I haven't read manga for a long time. Then I found this book and I'm drawn to it. It's not only beautiful in drawing but the plot is also plausible. The context of the manga is also quite historical, which is absolutely not boring if you like ancient knowledge. What else can I say? I have never bought any manga, but reading this online, I knew I had to get it. I'm so satisfied with this hard cover book. It makes the manga more elegant? I'm bad at words. I love it. Kaoru Mori is such a devoting artist. I do not remember names, but I know such a mangaka.

gorgeousity from all angles
historically breath-taking, artwork to die for, and a story as gentle as summer wind. the entire "Otoyomegatari" series is a worthy and worthwhile investment of even the most casual of manga/comic book readers. ( ′ ̅‿ ̅‵) -♡

Volume 2 does not disappoint!
Volume #2 starts off light-hearted enough, but will quickly change into a more dark arc as Amir's family comes a-calling...It shows us how one side of the family views arranged marriages as a need for political power and money. While the other side of the family shows us a more loving and nurturing side to marriages. This volume touchs base on just about everything; from Amir to Karluk to Mr. Smith and even the little ones get some spotlight! Well worth the read!

Very interesting story still
It's hard to describe a book without ruining the story. All I can really say is that I'm pretty invested in these two in the story. I love the artwork they drew as well as the pace they are going. it's a great slice of life story so far. Though just like my last review, my only complaint in quality about these books is that the outside sleeve is so very fragile. you have to be very careful handling this book.

Yes men can enjoy a pink collord manga named "A Brides Story."
If you have read the first volume of this then you already understand the beauty of this manga, how ever if you have not then let me explain. This manga is like a masterpiece of painstakingly detailed art every page, with great story to go along with it. This manga can be enjoyed by either men or women, it may be pink, it may be named "A Bride's Story," but if you are willing to give it a chance then you will not be disappointed.

An awesome volume that provides details about the history of our main characters. It also introduces the reader to upcoming conflicts and characters they'll bond with. A great continuation from beginning!

Kaoru Mori nos vuelve sorprender con otra historia romántica, sólo que está vez está ubicada en la Turquía del siglo XIX. El formato del manga posee un dibujo y diseño de personajes excelso, y nos muestra maravillosamente el conflicto entre una novia que es ocho años mayor su esposo, la adaptación a su vida de pareja y a la nueva tribu a la que acaba de integrar. La edición de este manga vale el alto costo: es pasta dura, viene con cubrepolvo, el tamaño es mayor a mayoría de los mangas americanos estándar. Si les gustó EMMA. este manga también les va a encantar.

Bu mangayı çok özel bir konuda ve coğrafyada çok detaylı mekan ve eşya çizimleri içerdiği için alıyorum seriyi tamamlayacağım. Çok uzaktan geldiği için kargonun ulaşması uzun sürdü, ama buna değdi.

This book (and the preceding volume) have to be seen to be believed - the attention to detail in the artwork is simply stunning and gives the story a feeling of depth and craftsmanship that is reflected in the subtle and historically faithful storylines. Time spent reading this book will not be wasted and you will want to come back and re-read it just for the stunning visual impact. I only wish the whole thing were in colour!
