the first chapters are kind of slow, but then it gets just artistic. The story is kind of shoujish with some darkish but it's catching.

The characters show up when they have to, you get to learn a little about them and thats okay, they give a nostalgic feeling.

Give it a try, i hope they don't mess up into making this story so popular and making no sense chapters!

so yeah read it and give it a try!

This series is great. I haven't read something that moved me so much, had intrigued me so much, in years. I'm a cheapskate but I'll buy all the volumes from this manga and the OVA when it comes out so I can properly support the author of this magnificent work.

I'm 3 volumes in, and I've got to give this series points for beautiful, understated art, thoughtful world building and deep, interesting characters. Mag Garden series tend to blur the line between shojo and shonen, and this is no exception. I'm interested to see how the romance will develop, considering his non-human form, but they're so cute together I find myself shipping them anyway...

This reminds me a lot of Antique Romance -- MC buys FMC through auction because she's special, age gap, girl depends on guy, slow but steady romance, funny moments, plus both are set in England. If you like magic and the fantasy realm on top of that then this manga is right on the money for you! There's a lot more angst in Antique but then again that is a finished series while Mahou is just starting. Have fun reading!

It has been a long time since I have gone WOW this is amazing for a manga.

Beautiful artwork, engaging story, all rolled into a dark fantasy world. I seem to be attracted to stories that explore the idea of what "family" truly means. I would recommend this to anyone who likes something beyond the norm in manga.

I was reminded to Majo, which I love so much, when first reading this. The intricate art push me to read further, but the way the story unfold, especially the grave dog chapter left me unsatisfied. Narrative start to depend on said words than action, which I see as unfit for the art this gorgeous. Rereading Emma, I have a feeling that Mahoutsukai no Yome can reach that manga finesse in time, but not soon.

i am really amazed of how well this story is written. It is different, appealing, and has a interest aspect of a story. I do not see any reason to give this anything below a 10 until the story start being bad.

The chapters take time to release but not worth down grading the score. I recommend this to any audience that love fantasy story with a little twist of everything else exempt sci-fi

Beautiful unique, absolutely love it. The arts gorgeous and i really enjoy these sorts of half romance half adventure/drama. The magic is beautifully done and has much more depth than i expected. Really enjoy the self-punishing style of love, its a beautiful heartache.

Its been a while since I was so taken by a fantasy manga by the first chapter, especially something so shoujo-ish. Despite the shounen tag, the story seems to lean more to josei or a more mature shoujo- main female lead Chise isn't weepy and tsundere depsite her background (for now? lol), characters don't turn overly dramatic for no reason etc . The setting and plot leans heavily towards 'old world' magic and there's lots of folklore refs that fans of ye olde grimm tales would love. Also the male lead has a goat skull/wendigo appearance with a three piece suit. If that doesn't bring all the mori girls to the yard....

The artwork reminds me strongly of Emma/Bride Story/Gisele Alain. Seriously though, every chapter is a page turner and the story told so nicely that I just could not stop reading til the latest chapter (13 atm). Definitely recommend for fans of magical/fantasy work who are looking for a fresh look at the usual fairytale genre.

Despite of how few the number of the chapters released, I can't hold back my feeling to comment for this amazing series. Yeah, I only read as far as 9 chapters, but the story, characters, n the art has already captivated me... in a unique way...

This series reminds me to Mushishi. An old-fashioned-magic setting where spiritual things exist in the deep of nature, not in some high tech machine. And the magic user doesn't use the magic for an epic battle or such, but to understand the law of "nature" and another spiritual sense... and yes, it succeeded to intrigue my curiosity and keep me wondering the "new world" law and setting

So, in brief, It's amazing series (for now), and I hope someone will change this shounen tag into seinen...
