Mahou Tsukai no Yome

I was like "Yeah right, you just wanted to peek under her skirt!"

Well...he has already seen and scrubbed everything... plus he bought her clothes... not like there is a mystery. But maybe peeking is his fetish. -_()_-  Everyone's got at least one.

Its moments like these where bearing through dozens of crappy manga leads you to a truly great series and everything feels like it was worth it. Great story. I'm getting the vibe that it might gain a tragedy tag but even if it does, I bet it'll still be great. Need more like this. Nice to find shounen with female leads that don't flaunt fanservice all the time.

The fact that at *checks* 4 chapters in, I almost jumped out my chair in anger at the idea of someone seriously harming Chise tells me a lot about how much this series has already gabbed a hold of me.

More, please, I don't know how long I can hold out after that.

Indeed. Each chapter does more for the story and the characters than a whole volume (or volumes) of any regular manga.

After only 4 chapters, it feels like I have been following and reading this for a year.

This is a really beautiful manga, in story and in art. I understood the story and the background really easily. It also has some "indirect feel" to it where the story gives us clues to inference with. Granted, this is normal in good stories but I've never read a manga that has told me a story this crazy smooth. 

This isn't just your average manga. This gives me simple comedy, very lovable characters, a dab of bitter-sweetness and most of all, a mystery in a sense that questions are answered but aren't answered. I guess the world I've been looking for is Classic.

Huh. Interesting use of Lovecraft's "The Cats of Ulthar."

I really hate the author for leaving the chapter at that, though.

Next volume March 28th...

That's a while to be left hanging.

No!  What happens next!?  Curse you cliffhanger!  >:T

this is really engrossing and has potential to become a wonderful unique world

Nice and interesting !

Hmm typos in CH.2. It is usually lolicon or pedophile.

Don't ask why I'm anal about this...

@JoveusMolai: you question a wizard being creepy? lol my side.

Normally I'd be very disturbed by something like this, but the way the mangaka handles the pacing and portrays the characters (the skull-headed magician in particular) makes this otherwise-creepy premise very interesting.

Note that there's almost no tension in the story: Chise's rescued from misery, she's found a warm home with a kind person to watch over her, and she's entering a strange but wondrous new world that accepts her for who she is. But just one little panel at the end of chapter 1--just a few words of dialogue--and there's a very slight, a very subtle, yet still present sense of tension throughout the rest of the chapters, because now you're always wondering, "So is this guy an actual creppy pedo, or does he just have a strange way of saying things? If he's serious about wedding Chise, is he going to wait until Chise gets older (kinda creepy) or is he just going to go for it now (really creepy)? Or is the marriage thing all just an elaborate joke or a roundabout reference to a magical ritual? What's his game, really?"

However, since the actual marriage part is either lampshaded or made fun of, it never really crosses the line into "welp this is full blown creepy" mode. Instead, it lurks in the background, under the text and the pretty pictures, making you question every panel and every little thing the skull-headed magician does.

This manga is quite unique in this regard.

just three chapters in and it's already one of my all time favorite series so far.

It's just so magical and wonderous.

This one was better than I though it would be... glad I found this out <:

This is a real treat. Great art style, amazing story line.

This is great, the art, story, everything.

Beautiful. Art is great and story is really engrossing. Chise is also quite cute.

Grrrr we should have more awesome series like this

...What is this rare treasure I have stumbled upon!? 

A great candy, from a fantastic dimension. Be sure to enjoy every bit of it

...What is this rare treasure I have stumbled upon!? 

My initial suspicions have been confirmed: I love this series.

Beautiful art, deep and introspective story, and excellent characterizations.

I can't wait to dive into the next chapter.

Does anyone get the feeling he is actually her father.  She has no idea about her father and it seems he knows more about her that he leads on and it seems he specifically tracked her down.  He is teasing and protecting her like a parent also.

I highly doubt that he his her father. She is clearly a human, and everyone is able to tell it. If Elias was her father, I don't think she'd qualify as a "human" anymore. Plus, there is no way he would've abandonned her, seeing that she is a slay vega. And there's the wife thing.

I think his fatherly figure/actions come from his age, wisdom and the fact that he his constantly teaching her about the world.

GIVE ME MORE!!
