The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 6

Today’s post is on The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 6 by Kore Yamazaki. It is 180 pages long and is published by Seven Seas. The cover is a picture of Chise, Elias and Ruth. As it is the sixth volume in the series you need to have read the first five to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes urban fantasy, fairy tales, and traditional lore. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this series. The story told from third person close of Chise. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- The Path Not Chosen
Chise is gradually learning to understand both human nature and the whims of the fae, as well as how to balance them and walk her own path. Suddenly, she receives a mysterious letter from bustling London. What could an alchemist's apprentice want from her...?

Review- Most of the volume is Chise and Alice both trying to be more kind to those in their lives. Either has much experience doing that but they are both trying to be grateful for the better lives they now lead. As the go around London looking for Christmas gifts, they talk some about their lives and how much things have changed. The next story is about Chise helping a girl get her brother back when he is taken by a fae. Some relationship growth happens and Chise is learning more about magic and what she can do. A solid volume that promises to bring back a dangerous villain at the end. This continues to be a great series that I really enjoy. 

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