The cover for this volume shows us Chise, Philomela and Alcyone. But who is Chise reaching for here? I was going to write more quick reviews for this week, but then something landed in my mailbox that took priority. I have been patiently waiting for this eighteenth volume of The Ancient Magus Bride and I … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 18

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 17
I promised I’d go through these volumes quickly and this volume is a lot more action packed than the previous one. Generally action scenes in manga don’t require a whole lot of discussion but Magus Bride is much more interesting in the way that it portrays its fights. It’s never about the fights, it’s about … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 17
Go watch The Ancient Magus Bride. Trust me.
With the winter season nearing its finale, and my weekly anime count dropping drastically before peaking again in about a week from now, let us take a look ahead. To be a little bit more specific, there’s a sequel coming out in the spring season that I’m hoping to draw some attention to. That’s right, … Continue reading Go watch The Ancient Magus Bride. Trust me.
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 13
We’re already 13 volumes into this series! And as you might remember, things turned scary at the end of the previous volume. Chise found an unconscious Lucy near the riverbank while the class from the academy was on a camping trip. Not only that, a scary looking cyclops-like being showed up, looming over our protagonists. … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 13
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 12
Volume 12 cover, showing Philomela in the background Hello everyone!As you might have noticed, it has been a little while since I last posted a volume review here. I know I promised I’d do one every two weeks, and I’m hoping to once again commit to doing so, but it hasn’t been very successful lately. … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 12
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 9
Elias stopping Chise, but not as aggressively as in the volume. Last week I took a different approach to writing these blook club reviews. Instead of writing as I go through the manga, I waited until I read the entire volume before starting. And I honestly prefered that method, so for the time being that’s … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 9
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 8
The art always looks great Normally I write these reviews in tandem with reading the manga itself. I tend to read a chapter and then write down my thoughts. Today went a little differently. I went to visit some friends for a nice day of Dungeons & Dragons. I play a human monk based on … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 8
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 7
This volume's cover art, are they looking at the train coming up? I know that it’s been a little while since we last did one of these, but I finally got the chance to sit down and read volume 7 of The Ancient Magus Bride. In the meantime I did manage to catch up on … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 7
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 6
So far the tone of each volume has been set by the intensity of the volume covers. So when I initially saw the dark colors of this volume cover I was worried it was going to be a particularly dark volume. And sure, there’s some dark moments and story beats in this volume but I … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 6
The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 5
The covers and color pages in this manga are beautiful every single time. I know I’ve been slacking when it comes to both reading and writing but I can only apologize. The little time I did devote to reading this past week ended up on starting a reread of Tower of God. I heard from … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 5
