The Water Dragon’s Bride, vol. 4


Today’s post is on The Water Dragon’s Bride, vol. 4 by Rei Toma. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The water is a picture of Asahi and Subaru in water holding hands. As it is the fourth in the series you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who has read the first three volumes and likes shojo manga. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character, Asahi. There Be Spoilers Ahead.


From the back of the book- Because the water dragon god wants to interact with Asahi more, he descends to the village in the guide of a human. Asahi’s friend Subaru has mixed feelings about this but joins them on a journey to the capital. What adventures are in store, and how will their fates change?


Review- A good volume and we are starting to see the trouble that Asahi will have as she is the god’s chosen priestess and how that power will change others. Asahi is trying to help the water dragon learn how to be more human, to make him more livable for herself and others in the village. He, of course, does not understand why he should care but Asahi is doing her best. Subaru is not helping by having some weird thing with the water dragon but I think that it will play out. The main part of this volume is Asahi being summoned before the emperor and being commanded to use her power but she does not have any herself. I think that we are starting to see what is going to be the main  conflict of the story. I am curious about where Asahi is going next.


I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
