Summary
"I am not alone。"
Chise has been summonsed to the Dragon Aerie to begin crafting her very own wand， but her journey has more to offer than she had anticipated: magical wonders， enlightening visions， and perhaps most importantly， insight into Elias' past and the secrets he has been reluctant to reveal about himself。
Yet while Chise finds some answers about the inhuman mage's history， mysterious beings are displaying an unexpected interest in Chise herself。

Book: The Ancient Magus Bride， Volume 4 Author: Kore YamazakiRating: 4 Out of 5 StarsThe deeper I get into this series， the more difficult it becomes to write reviews without spoilers。 So， if you don’t want to be spoiled at all for any of the series， you may want to stop reading now。 Once again， this volume focused a lot on character development。 We finally get to learn more about Elias and how Lindel actually fits into the bigger picture。 I like that we got to learn about Elias’s past through L Book: The Ancient Magus Bride， Volume 4 Author: Kore YamazakiRating: 4 Out of 5 StarsThe deeper I get into this series， the more difficult it becomes to write reviews without spoilers。 So， if you don’t want to be spoiled at all for any of the series， you may want to stop reading now。 Once again， this volume focused a lot on character development。 We finally get to learn more about Elias and how Lindel actually fits into the bigger picture。 I like that we got to learn about Elias’s past through Lindel rather than through Elias himself。 I think that doing it this way allowed us to get a more holistic view of Elias rather just getting what he wanted us to know。 There are things that Lindel tells Chise that I am certain that Elias would have kept a secret。 There is also the manner in the way that Lindel does this。 He does it kind of bluntly， but not in a way that it’s creepy or putting off。 Now， if I was Chise， I do think I would have had to think long and hard about going back to him。 However， the fact that she does is a mark of her strength。 She is willing to look beyond the past and look forward。 While she does acknowledge the past， she is willing to see the person （or mage） that Elias has become today and see all of the good that he brings into the world。 We also see how mage-apprentice role works。 Now， this is more on the blunter side。 We get to see how they take on these apprentices and what kind of a relationship they have。 The manga describes it as being a parent-child relationship， which I can completely see。 Up until these last few volumes， Chise has been completely dependent on Elias for everything and blindly trusts what he says。 She does what he tells her and seems to be okay with it。 When he is teaching her， it does almost take on the role of the all knowing and loving adult while Chise takes on the role of the child， who needs to be taught and worships the ground the parent walks on。 Since this was brought up， I see it。 I have always compared their relationship to more of a teacher-student relationship， but this idea does actually make more sense。 Then， it goes on to explain that these relationships can turn into a spouse-spouse relationship。 No matter how you look at it， there is a power imbalance。 However， I can see this power imbalance going away as Chise grows。 We are starting to see Chise come more into herself。 While she still is on the passive side， we are seeing her more and more go out on her own and make her own choices。 She is， in fact， told to stop being so passive and seems to take it to heart。 She goes to Lindel’s by herself， something that would probably would not have done up until this point。 We makes her own wand and seems to be taking more of her education into her own hands。 Yes， she still depends on others to show her the way the world works， but， yet， it does make sense。 She grew up in the human world and has been thrown into the magical one。 She is going to have to have someone around to show her the ropes。 I really do like the slow character development we are getting from Chise。 Given her past and background， it only makes sense that her character is slow to grow。 If she was growing any faster， I’m not sure that I would enjoy this series as much。 On to Volume 5 now。 。。。more

I loved how this volume wasn't as fast-paced as the previous ones， how it allowed us to chill for a bit and learn about Elias， Lindeman and magi in general。 Chise finally looks like she is going to develop as a character， so that's reassuring。 I loved how this volume wasn't as fast-paced as the previous ones， how it allowed us to chill for a bit and learn about Elias， Lindeman and magi in general。 Chise finally looks like she is going to develop as a character， so that's reassuring。 。。。more

Read more graphic novel reviews at The Graphic Library。Master Lindel， the mage who trained Elias， invites Chise back to the dragon sanctuary to work on her wand。 While there， Lindel tells Chise of the time he met Elias。 Elias was a wandering creature walking through the woods， and Lindel offered him food and to take him back to his master， where they tried to ascertain what he was， and where he was given the name Elias。 Elias has no memory of a time before he was walking through the woods， but Read more graphic novel reviews at The Graphic Library。Master Lindel， the mage who trained Elias， invites Chise back to the dragon sanctuary to work on her wand。 While there， Lindel tells Chise of the time he met Elias。 Elias was a wandering creature walking through the woods， and Lindel offered him food and to take him back to his master， where they tried to ascertain what he was， and where he was given the name Elias。 Elias has no memory of a time before he was walking through the woods， but he confesses to Lindel that he thinks he may have eaten humans at one point。 Lindel tells this as a caution to Chise， and so that she will have the courage to speak up to Elias and ask questions of him。 Once her wand is complete， Chise uses it to travel back home with every intention of confronting Elias and making him open up to her about himself and about magic。This story provided much-needed background information on Elias， as well as an opportunity to see Chise on her own as a leading lady。 In previous volumes， and again in this one， other characters point out how much of a backseat Chise has taken to her own life， allowing Elias to usher her from place to place， dictating her daily schedule and her knowledge of magic。 In this volume， Lindel lets Chise take lead on making her wand and exploring the magic that goes into it。 I’ve hoped， after reading previous volumes， that Chise become her own character， and this was a nice glimpse into what could be， and hopefully will be。Sara's Rating: 8/10Suitability Level: Grades 8-12 。。。more

The story has officially gone into Twilight territory。 （view spoiler）[Yes， the whole "Oh， you're so tasty I can barely control my inner monster" type of deal。 （hide spoiler）] Really not my cup of tea when it comes to romance。The author has mentioned on her notes at the end of the volumes that she's basically winging the plot and making things up as she goes。 It does feel that way。 I couldn't be bothered to go fact check it but I think now that more information about Elias' past is revealed it do The story has officially gone into Twilight territory。 （view spoiler）[Yes， the whole "Oh， you're so tasty I can barely control my inner monster" type of deal。 （hide spoiler）] Really not my cup of tea when it comes to romance。The author has mentioned on her notes at the end of the volumes that she's basically winging the plot and making things up as she goes。 It does feel that way。 I couldn't be bothered to go fact check it but I think now that more information about Elias' past is revealed it doesn't entirely fit with all that has been mentioned in the beginning。 I also think there's a few anachronisms now that the magus backstory is being explored。 I'm aware this is no historical novel， of course， but I noticed it anyway and gives me the impression the author hasn't fleshed the story out very well。 Probably one the volumes I enjoyed the least。 。。。more

So I binged the first four volumes of this in a night。 I am really enjoying the world building and the interesting characters。 This is already an incredibly fast paced story and I'm very curious about the cast of characters already assembled and all of the magic/folklore throughout。 So I binged the first four volumes of this in a night。 I am really enjoying the world building and the interesting characters。 This is already an incredibly fast paced story and I'm very curious about the cast of characters already assembled and all of the magic/folklore throughout。 。。。more

As I keep reading this series， this reminds me why I love manga。There's a great slow burn in the pacing in the story that works here along with the hints of dark， magic and fantasy and the characterizations of the each character slowly coming into their own。Lindel， being that gossip of a friend， has just given me and Chise a great look into Elias' past which has only intrigued me more to know about him。 I love that bone-head and the fact that other characters see him in a similar light is just s As I keep reading this series， this reminds me why I love manga。There's a great slow burn in the pacing in the story that works here along with the hints of dark， magic and fantasy and the characterizations of the each character slowly coming into their own。Lindel， being that gossip of a friend， has just given me and Chise a great look into Elias' past which has only intrigued me more to know about him。 I love that bone-head and the fact that other characters see him in a similar light is just so much fun to me because it definitely telling of his character。 。。。more

MeinungEs war schön， endlich mal etwas über Elias Vergangenheit zu erfahren， wenn auch sehr dürftig。 Leider erfährt man nur sehr wenige Details， zumal Elias selber nicht genau wusste， wer er ist und welchen Platz er in der Welt hat。 Man fühlt sich doch ein wenig hingehalten， zumal es für mich Momentan die einzige Spannung ausmacht， zu erfahren wer Elias wirklich ist。Auch hier gibt es wieder neue Wesen， die man kennenlernt – einige davon Super süss und andere eher weniger。 FazitEs ist und bleibt MeinungEs war schön， endlich mal etwas über Elias Vergangenheit zu erfahren， wenn auch sehr dürftig。 Leider erfährt man nur sehr wenige Details， zumal Elias selber nicht genau wusste， wer er ist und welchen Platz er in der Welt hat。 Man fühlt sich doch ein wenig hingehalten， zumal es für mich Momentan die einzige Spannung ausmacht， zu erfahren wer Elias wirklich ist。Auch hier gibt es wieder neue Wesen， die man kennenlernt – einige davon Super süss und andere eher weniger。 FazitEs ist und bleibt eine schöne Manga-Reihe aber mir fehlt noch immer ein durchgängiger roter Faden。 Gewisse Szenen wirken einfach aneinandergereiht。 。。。more

Quel bonheur que de retrouver Chisé et Elias ！Ce tome， pour moi， marque un tournant dans la relation Chisé/Elias。 Beaucoup de nostalgie également， même si ce n’est pas le point central de ce tome， j’ai trouvé que certaines révélations étaient percutantes， et qu’elles pouvaient mettre à mal tout ce que la jeune fille pensait avoir enfin。Son passage au pays des dragons va être fort en émotions， non seulement elle va y apprendre certaines choses du passé d’Elias， mais elle va également apprendre à Quel bonheur que de retrouver Chisé et Elias ！Ce tome， pour moi， marque un tournant dans la relation Chisé/Elias。 Beaucoup de nostalgie également， même si ce n’est pas le point central de ce tome， j’ai trouvé que certaines révélations étaient percutantes， et qu’elles pouvaient mettre à mal tout ce que la jeune fille pensait avoir enfin。Son passage au pays des dragons va être fort en émotions， non seulement elle va y apprendre certaines choses du passé d’Elias， mais elle va également apprendre à maîtriser sa propre magie。Que ce soit Elias ou Chisé， ils comprennent certaines choses durant l’absence de la jeune fille， mais， oui， il y a bien un mais， ce lien spécial qui se tisse entre eux risque de se retrouver fragilisé， il est réellement simple à briser。 Sauront-ils faire ce qui est nécessaire pour que celui-ci se solidifie malgré tout， ou du moins， qu’il ne se brise pas ？ Chisé a déjà vécu tellement de choses， je ne suis pas certaine qu’elle pourrait survivre à un nouvel abandon。Précédemment， Elias était un personnage qui m’intriguait de tome en tome， ici， nous avons connaissance de certains éléments de son passé， par forcément très reluisants， mais il n’en reste pas moins mystérieux。 Par moments nous pourrions le croire inaccessible， pourtant， pour Chisé， il serait prêt à tellement de choses ！L’univers créé par Koré Yamazaki semble simple à première vue， c’est pourtant ce qu’il n’est pas， et plus j’avance， plus je me rend compte de la complexité de cette série。 。。。more

این لجبازی انسانیه ک هرچند میدونی چیزی ک باهاش رو به رویی انسان نیست، امیدواری که در نهایت احساسات انسانی رو توش پیدا کنی。منتظر جنبه انسانی الیاس نیستم، ولی قطعن قراره نشون داده بشه。اما چیسه واقعن داره در جهت مثبتی رشد میکنه، تا حد زیادی از رو اعصابی دور میشه^-^

I am really loving where this manga is going I like learning more about Chise and Elias。 I still really love the characters especially Chise and Elias I like their relationship it is a great family like relationship that may grow over time。 I really liked that I learned more about both Chise and Elias at little about Chise's family and more on how Elias came to be。 I am really liking the plot it picked up from where it left off and told many great things about both Elias and Chise。 So overall I I am really loving where this manga is going I like learning more about Chise and Elias。 I still really love the characters especially Chise and Elias I like their relationship it is a great family like relationship that may grow over time。 I really liked that I learned more about both Chise and Elias at little about Chise's family and more on how Elias came to be。 I am really liking the plot it picked up from where it left off and told many great things about both Elias and Chise。 So overall I loved this volume of the story will continue it sometime soon。 。。。more

Not sad！ Beyond sweet！！Chise got her wand finally！！ And she gets to see Nivel again and they had a very intense conversation about feelings and what they mean。Some sheep get shaved， and then even more emotional things happen but no one is almost murdered。 There is just lots of communication happening。

While I truly admire the slow and caring romance that progresses in unrushed increments， I find everything else to be too slow moving。 The characters and magic are interesting enough， but I’m struggling with keeping my interest in reading this longer than a few chapters at once。 At least with this volume it doesn’t end in a crazy cliffhanger so I might manage letting myself slip away from this series for a bit。 I just really want to know more about Elias。
