Synopsis: With her mother dead and father long gone, Chise Hatori has spent her childhood being passed unwanted from relative to relative, until she finally makes her unfortunate way to a strange and improbable auction block. Offered as a sleigh beggy to the highest bidder, Chise is purchased by the (literally) boneheaded Elias Ainsworth, who promises to take her on as his apprentice. Elias is a mage, and his world is one of dragons and faeries - but before Chise can begin to get accustomed to all that nonsense, Elias drops another bombshell. Apparently Chise isn't just intended to be his apprentice - she will also be his bride.
The plot develops as Chise learns more about the world of magic through Elias. It also deals more with English folklore as the manga takes place in England. The characters are likable and they have depth as they hold some secrets. Art is awesome as it depicts the fantasy setting very well. It is more focused on character development, so dont expect a lot of action.
