My only problems with this series, is that the idea of Chise having her lifespan being shortened. Because of her status as a Sleigh Beggy is redundant and inconvenient, because she's the main character of the series and this story is FAR from over even now. If she never had that handicap of her lifespan being shortened, then the series in general wouldn't be any different. Plus, I think the list of Magic classes: Mages, Witches, Sleigh Beggies, and Sorcerers is a bit convoluted and unnecessary. And just a quick trivia fact, the name Sleigh Beggy belongs to a species of fairies that live in the Isle of Man right between Ireland and England. With a very distinct description about their appearance and behavior toward humans. Why would the author do that? It's so unorthodox, anyway Sorcerers represented here are actually alchemists who practice alchemy and are not called alchemists. And yet they are still called Sorcerers on the series' wikia website. The author really doesn't have common sense does she, I think it would be best if the list of magic classes was cut in half: where it's just Mages and Witches just to give that world a more reasonable magical feeling to it. Also, I would love to see more of that romantic relationship building between the two main characters Chise and Elias, as the series continues. Where it takes inspiration from fan art featuring the two of them.

The characters, world building, and plot, individually, are well done. The art is fantastic. But when put together, there isn't much that can compete with it.

It's mysterious, charming, happy, sad, etc. And there's a certain, old-world atmosphere that sucks you in when reading it.

It's like discovering the manga form of Studio Ghibli but targeted at young adults. A master class in soft magic systems (from a writer's perspective) to boot.

I've followed this manga since 2016 and all I can say is it's amazing, it still keeps me intrigued evertime a new chapter is updated and I just have had so much fun reading it, one thing that I hate about mangas is that they often get boring over time and loose their meaning, this manga seems to be still one of my favorites and is really worth your time!

A relation we rarely see portrayed this well. Plenty of tropes but the jewel of this series is the relation. Between two people learning to trust and have faith and rely on one another. It is very lovely to read.

Wow amazing....a completely different kind of manga...but shounen? Seriously?!?! You think a little boy or even to teenager will read this?!?! No no...maybe 18+ males and young to older females...It is very deep, character detail is below sea level...definitely shoujo...maybe seinen....I understand Shoujo carries a bad connotation for most...(easier for the author to sell shounen) but this isn't shounen. Remarkable work though.

easily in my top 5. The character development going on in both Chise and Elias is like nothing I've ever encountered before in a manga. The whole setting is intriguing and delightful, and there never fails to be at least one scene PER CHAPTER that takes my breath away.
I'm a cheap person who likes my manga free, but Mahou Tsukai no Yome is one of the very, very few works that i've ever purchased. And you'd better believe i bought every volume i could get my grubby little hands on.

Wow, just wow.

Don't let the fluff and slow start fool you, this is by far one of the best mangas I have ever read. The sheer amount of character depth, lore, and beautiful artwork just sucks you in. The plot is becoming increasingly complex and very tightly woven, and the most recent chapters have ended on cliffhangers that come out of nowhere and leave you begging for more. Or rather, in my case, gasping and screaming in outrage that you have to wait another month to find out what happens. I can't believe this is Yamazaki Kore's first series. It has an excellent balance of action, drama, and character development that few other stories manage to achieve. Seriously, read this thing, it's amazing.

They had better make a full anime series out of this or else I will be so angry.

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...
