The Ancient Magus' Bride Vol. 1

This book was fantastic! The magic, the danger, the cute and nice! It's intriguing, it has a captivating and very easy to follow plot, the characters have charisma and easily captivate the reader. I was not expecting this, but this book just became my favorite manga!

I truly don’t know what happens in following volumes that makes so many people comfortable with reading this. The premise involves a pedophile and human trafficking and some belittling, borderline sexist remarks. I did somehow get interested in the upcoming plot points, but I feel really uncomfortable reading this and therefore wanted my review to reflect on that.

I honestly thought I would like this more. I like the art style and the idea - but somehow it did not catch me and I was ultimately underwhelmed by its characters. Also, she's so young? I want to give the following chapters another fair try in the future.
