The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 5

Today’s post is on The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 5 by Kore Yamazaki. It is 184 pages long and published by Seven Seas. The cover has Chise and Elias on it with some fey on it. As it is the fifth in the series you need to have read the first four volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes urban fantasy and manga. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of Chise. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book- A Fairy In Need
Chise has taken great strides in overcoming her dark past, and is ready for a brighter future by Elias' side. As for the magus himself, he is finally able to put a name to the strange emotion he's been feeling for Chise. Meanwhile, a deadly threat looms. When a panicked fairy appears at Chise's bedside, begging for help, is there anything the young, novice mage can do...?

Review- We get a lot of fey lore and Chise magic in this volume. Chise is woken up by the flower fairy because the human man she loves is dying and she does not know what to do. So Chise works herself to the door of death to help her and him say goodbye. Elias is growing as a person by his interactions with Chise and that concerns him but he is torn about it. This series is growing in ways that I am enjoying and I cannot guess where we are going. I look forward to where we go next with Chise and Elias.

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