The Water Dragon's Bride, vol 11

 

Today's post is on The Water Dragon's Bride, vol 11 by Rei Toma. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the three main characters on it, Asahi, Subaru, and the Water Dragon God. As it is the eleventh in the series, you need to have read the first ten volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes time travel stories and star-crossed lovers. The story is told from third person close of Asahi and the Water Dragon. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Facing the gravity of his impending demise, the water dragon vows that he will send Asahi back to her world before all power disappears. As Asahi struggles to find a way to stay with him, she can't dent that the day when they must past is coming. Is it truly the end for these two star-crossed lovers?

Review- A solid ending to a good series. The Water Dragon is dying, which for a being like him means going back to the element he was born from, so he is becoming water. He wants to send Asahi back to her home and she wants to die with him. Very dramatic stuff but she goes back and the Water Dragon fades. But with the help of the other gods he is send forward in time to try and find Asahi and we see exactly what happened when she was first taken. He was reaching for her without understanding what he was doing. But it ends happily with Asahi and the Water Dragon reunited and they will find a way to live together. I enjoyed this series, it was interesting, had good fantasy elements, and the art was excellent. I would recommend this series. 

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