A Bride's Story, Vol. 7 Hardcover – November 17, 2015

thank you

Do not be put off my this volume. This has been an absolutely amazing series thus far and remains so and the Author/illustrator does explain her slight deviation in art style in the afterword. As such, this is certainly not one of those manga's you can really jump around in the volume order with. This volume continues its engrossing story line illustrating middle eastern traditional cultural norms surrounding various women's weddings and family stories, as observed by a story collecting, traveling Englishman.This issue is much simpler in design then the previous 6 volumes but certainly does not lack in the on going story of Family, Friends and Tradition. I cant recommend this series enough if you are just now coming upon it.

I love the world, the culture, stories and the artwork itself. A beautifully rendered historical manga whether or not it's authentic it still draws you.

There is something odd about this series. There is nothing particularly amazing, nor unique, about it but I find myself very much glued to it and wanting more. When there are nothing but grim, dark and gritty on the shelfs a story as simple and rather bright as this one is such welcome change from the constant brooding. Simple and rather human stories like these sometimes are more impactful than something grand and complex. I recommend this series to anyone and if there was a Spanish publication I'd ask my family to read it, too.

Such lovely artwork...

The tale of Anis and Sherine, combined with the sweet short story of Karluk’s parents, is a tale guaranteed to tug your heartstrings. Beautiful art, heart melting stories, and a bit of intrigue into Mr. Smith’s life... everything you could want from Kaoru Mori and more!

Kaoru Mori's intricate line work continues with her latest volume of A Bride's Story. The setting this time however requires much less detail and pattern on clothes but that's fine, they still look great. Also this volume's story focuses heavily on public baths so the characters are pretty much not wearing clothes for a large portion of the pages. If you wanted an example of a manga that could have so much bathing scenes but remain classy, this has got to be it.

I have very few opportunities to enjoy luxuries. Books are sometimes an exception. Herewith a MAJOR luxury experience via a book. Manga artist Kaoru Mori does gorgeous drawing, and to the resulting beauty she adds stories that emphasize kindness and life's pleasures.In this seventh volume of her "Bride's Story", set in a 19th Century Muslim world, she absolutely hits a peak of beauty combined with sweetness.

I finished reading the series Emma which I Loved, and this sereies is just as good if not better,beautiful story I love the art especially the detail she puts into the clothing of her charecters......incredible....I got the full set of this series. well worth it.

The media could not be loaded.  Not my favourite characters or volume but still a great read that explores a relationship dynamic that's different from everything Kaori Mori has covered so far. Expect some mild nudity from scenes of bathing.

En este volumen la historia se tranquiliza después del conflicto del volumen anterior. La historia de Anis y su amistad con Sherine es bonita. Aunque después de toda la acción del volumen 6, esta puede parecer lenta. El arte es hermoso como siempre.

This book takes you to an entire different part of the world. You breath in different cultures and religion. It's eye opening and amazing. Each page is so pretty and gorgeous that you almost go into a meditation state. I'm always so relaxed and at awe well reading A Bride's Story.

I felt that this was by far the weakest vols. of this series story wise. Too many bath scenes and nudity. That just killed the atmosphere this series had developed for me. Especially after a very interesting built up, in vol 6., of the unrest at the borders near Amir's village. And on top of that, *spoiler* I'm not fond of marriages between one guy with multiple wives or one girl with multiple husbands. So this was another let down. Sure this was common in those times and all, but i don't like to read about such things. *spoiler end*. Other than that, the art was amazingly detailed as in the previous vols. and the panels freely flowing. Yen Press has done an excellent job once again with this hard cover book. Nice binding and use of the beautiful art style of the mangaka for the dust jacket covers.
