A Bride's Story, Vol. 3 (Volume 3) Hardcover – Illustrated, March 27, 2012

Elegant

Vol 3 kind of changed its focus to a new character rather than the one we started with. I'm still happy with the story but I do really wish the focus stayed on the girl we started with. Still overall good story, I'm still invested, still loving the artwork.Cover sleeve is still beautiful but still leaves a desire that it wasn't so paper thing and fragile.

historically breath-taking, artwork to die for, and a story as gentle as summer wind. the entire "Otoyomegatari" series is a worthy and worthwhile investment of even the most casual of manga/comic book readers.( ′ ̅‿ ̅‵) -♡

my daughter totally loves this author and all her books,we have the complete set now, and have also enjoyed Emma the other series that she wrote.the item arrived on time

These books are a little simple/mellow, but well worth the read. I find the illustration to be great, and the story very endearing:)

Series Info/Source: This is the third volume in A Bride’s Story. I got this volume as a birthday gift.Story (4/5): I enjoyed this volume. The story takes quite a different turn from the first two volumes as we instead follow the westerner (Mr. Smith) as he journeys to a different part of China. He gets into some trouble when his guide doesn't show up on time and his horse is stolen. He ends up sheltering with a young woman and her mother. There was a bit more action and excitement in this volume than in the previous volumes.Characters (4/5): I enjoyed seeing the story from Mr. Smith’s perspective and enjoyed some of the new characters introduced. Amir and Kharluk also make an appearance towards the end of the story.Setting (4/5): It was good to travel to a slightly different area of the country and I hope we get to follow Mr. Smith further on his travels. I love that we are exposed to more history and culture of this region.Writing/Drawing Style (5/5): I enjoyed the beautiful illustration and liked the change of pace. I am a bit curious as to where all of this is going and if the next volume will have us continue to accompany Mr. Smith on his travels, or if we will end up back with Amir and Kharluk.My Summary (4/5): Overall this was a well done continuation of this series. I enjoyed the change of pace and scenery. This was a bit faster pace than previous volumes but still had a lot of that sort of “day in the life” feel to it. I plan on reading the next volume in the series because I got it as a birthday gift along with this volume. I am not sure if I will continue with it after that because the volumes are pretty expensive and while I like it, I don’t love it.

'A Bride's Story' vol 3 is a bit more tragic; we meet a young window and her elderly mother alone in the world, and see their struggles against clashing traditions. But there's also levity and fun; an extending food shopping scene turns into an impromptu festival with mouth-wateringly drawn meals and lots of friendly banter.

A Bride's Story is a slice of life story and as the focus shifts a bit in this volume it's a fine starting point. That said it does build off elements and characters introduced in volumes 1 and 2 and I would recommend reading in order.** This review contains mild spoilers, solely regarding the series' change in focus. **After two amazing volumes about Amir and her marriage to Karluk it's somewhat surprising to see the series follow the foreign researcher Mr. Smith when he leaves the village. It seemed natural to assume that Mori's historical epic was Amir's story, but a different bride takes center stage when a chance encounter leads to stay with Tala and her mother-in-law. The good news is while the change is somewhat disappointing and I think Amir's tale is far from over should Mori choose to revisit it, volume 3 is every bit as good as the previous ones.Tala's difficulties come from a totally different direction than what we've seen before and while Amir was an outsider to her new town, Mr. Smith is an outsider to the entire culture. This allows for a unique, contrasting tale to be told without losing the atmosphere that's been slowly built up. The conflict and difficulties presented to the characters are filled with emotion and feel natural despite surroundings and traditions unusual to the reader.As should be expected by this point the art is wonderful, and has the same incredible detail and quality as previous volumes. In general the art for this series is easily some of the best I've ever seen.So while volume 3 definitely signals some changes for Mori's stroll through history that will require some getting used to, A Bride's Story doesn't break it's stride here and remains a fantastic series.Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded.  This volume had me feeling all sorts of emotions, that rose and fell with the developments. It was a rollercoaster that had me on edge. Give this a read!

Kaoru Mori nos vuelve sorprender con otra historia romántica, sólo que está vez está ubicada en la Turquía del siglo XIX. El formato del manga posee un dibujo y diseño de personajes excelso, y nos muestra maravillosamente el conflicto entre una novia que es ocho años mayor su esposo, la adaptación a su vida de pareja y a la nueva tribu a la que acaba de integrar.Si les gustó EMMA. este manga también les va a encantar.El formato de la edición también es un plus para adquirirla.
