A Bride's Story (Manga)	comment	A Bride's Story (ä¹™å«�èªžã‚Š, Otoyomegatari) is a seinen manga and yet another period romance from Kaoru Mori. The manga began serialization in Harta magazine (formerly called Fellows!) in 2008, and later moved to Aokishi in 2021, where it is still ongoing.This time, the setting is Great Game-era Central Asia, at the time of The Crimean War in the mid-19th century. Set on The Silk Road that connected Asia with Europe before modern times, it is the Slice of Life story of Amir, a nomadic tribeswoman skilled in archery and horsemanship, who is sent to marry Karluk, a boy from another village who is eight years younger than her. Despite their age difference, the newlyweds like each other very much and follow a patient path leading towards grown-up love. But all is not well: the Russians are expanding south, political unrest is brewing, and Amir's family now want to take her back. The narrative follows not just Karluk and Amir as they navigate these challenges, but also various characters around them who are engaged in trying to better their lives or end up finding their special someone.As with all of Mori's works, the art and attention to detail is extensive, although Mori can put more effort into this particular work with less pressure, since it is a bimonthly publication.Published in English by Yen Press in larger-than-usual hardcover volumes to show off Mori's artwork.

Amir thinks this is her role in regards to Karluk and seems fine with it, but he grows weary of it pretty soon and eventually gets the point across that she doesn't have to babysit him. The way he does it also has a side effect of Amir falling head over heels for him.

Laila and Leili also try to invoke it themselves... by knocking someone into the water so they can rescue him. Hilarity Ensues.

All men in the setting are expected to be capable of slaughtering and butchering animals, especially sheep (Ali's opinion of Mr. Smith goes down a few pegs when he finds out that most Englishmen don't). Among nomads, all men are expected to be able to hunt, but it is not exactly discouraged for women to have the skill.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_1808775	comment	Phenotype Stereotype: As expected of a mangaka whose other series take place in England, this is heavily subverted: at first the only British character is Henry Smith, who is clearly blond. Later progression of the story has Henry Smith and his elder brother be the only Englishmen seen who are blonde (their eye colour is light but otherwise unconfirmed — Henry's is probably blue). Both the Englishwoman in chapter 10 and Mr. Smith's friend, Mr. Hawking, have toned hair (so red or brown), not to mention the other members of the Smith family tending to be darker-haired. Additionally, since his features are also not uncommon to Slavs, many locals assume that Mr. Smith is Russian for this reason (with a focus on his fair skin); Ali uses a similar assumption to make locals think his boss is Tartar instead.

His eyes are first seen in chapter thirteen, when he's not wearing them, and only in the following chapter does this begin to be dropped in scenes where he has a more emotional role (with increasing frequency, at that).

Other examples include the growing presence of bolt-action rifles, settlers, and Russian-influenced fashions. Justified, due to the story taking place circa 1860, not long before the Russians conquered the area. This is even lampshaded by Mr. Smith himself in chapter sixty-nine in a particular moment of badassery.

When Kamola eventually notices her and asks Pariya what she wants, Pariya's nervousness gets the better of her, and even though she's thinking "Oh just pretend I'm not here! I'm just watching to see if I can pick up any useful tips!", it instead comes out as "I was just watching! So leave me alone! It isn't like I wanted to talk to you or anything!" Unsurprisingly Kamola goes to see her mother, upset that she seems to have offended Pariya somehow without realising it, and the rumour starts running around the village that Pariya resents Kamola out of jealousy. Fortunely it gets straightened out rather quickly when Kamola comes to apologise to Pariya and, with a bit of help from Amir, they clear up the misunderstanding and become friends instead.

There's a reason for that... Apparently an epidemic killed many members of her clan, combined with Belqat not realizing that the best is the enemy of the good, and you get the present results. This continues to effect her. Azel, Baimat, and Joruk are unmarried for the same reason.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_3bc88a7f	type	Foregone Conclusion
A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_3bc88a7f	comment	Foregone Conclusion: Not with the story itself, but the setting. In less than twelve yearsnote (we don't have any concrete evidence as to exactly what years the story covers, but it hapens during the so-called Great Game, and in chapter sixty-eight, a letter seems to describe the events of the Crimean War leading to the siege of Sevastopol, which would put us around the year 1853 — which makes Smith's presence in the area, after the Anglo-Afghan wars, actually more badass than it seemed to be). The beginning of the Russian colonial conquest of Turkestan is normally dated to 1865.) the Russians will have moved in, set up puppet-states (Khiva, Bukhara, etc.) or annexed the area, and started a long period of Russification and economic development. The nomads will be made to contribute taxes or be forcibly relocated somewhere much less pleasant if they rebel. This is already foreshadowed from chapter thirty onward, when Amir's tribe ally themselves with the Russian-aligned Badan tribe in order to raze Karluk's town, seize their land and get Amir back. Due to their links with the Russians, the Badan have ample Russian weaponry, which they promise to place at the Halgals' disposal. In the ensuing battle, the Badan betray the Halgals, seeking to seize the town and get rid of their "allies" at the same time. No doubt the Badan are doing the Russians' dirty work for them. Even though Karluk's hometown prevails, it, and the whole region, will eventually bend the knee to the Czar, and Stalin after him. The end comment of the magazine version of chapter sixty-two further hints at the troubling times ahead for the region:

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_60547993	comment	I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Played with regarding Anis, her husband, and her widowed friend, Sherine. Anis arranges for her husband and Sherine to marry. In this case it's not clear which one is the "I." Anis (for willing to share her husband), the husband (he barely knows Sherine and only marries Anis' friend to make Anis happy), or both? Talas's sixth husband, who took her on an offscreen trip across much of Central Asia (even though a later chapter does show the travel, their sudden appearance was a surprise for the reader) following the trail of her real True Love, Mr. Smith, so they could be together, then actually discussed the trope, almost by name, saying he was doing it partly in memory of his own first wife, and because the world is cruel and any man should want to give a woman her happiness. One of the rare cases where a straight use of this trope comes off as awesome instead of tearjerking.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Quite a few of the characters' names have a significant meaning. Some of these are hard to place, due to transliteration difficulties, however, others are clear enough. Many of these are very direct: "Amir" means "commander, prince, emir;" Amir is the daughter of the chief of her clan. "Azel" means "reserved," which he is. "Anis" means "friend" while "Sherine" means "sweet" — their arc is about a sickeningly sweet friendship. "Kamola" means "perfection" which is exactly how Pariya regards her. Etc. Some are less direct: "Karluk" probably refers to the Karluk people, who were closely related to the Uzbeks and Uyghurs and seem to have married into those groups, making Karluk a Karluk. "Smith" is the most common English surname, while "Henry" is a very common English personal name; solidifying that Henry Smith is an Englishman. "Talas" most likely refers to the Talas River which flows near the region she is introduced in, probably chosen because she is the first person Henry Smith meets on his return trip. "Umar" is the name of a close companion of Muhammad, which fits his role as Pariya's fiancÃ©. Etc.

Each one seems hooked on the other because they'd never met anyone like that before: Anis can't resist how Sherine is aloof, yet teasing like her cat, while Sherine is moved by how Anis comes running to her like a lost child to its mother every time she sees her at the baths.

Their parents are scandalised (an unmarried boy and girl, even two who are in discussion to be married, should not be so familiar with each other), but this is also pretty much the deciding factor in settling their engagement.

By his culture's standards, twelve-year-old Karluk is old enough for marriage and everything that entails. His grandmother is able to bluff to Amir's relatives that Amir is already pregnant with Karluk's child, and while admitting it isn't true, she says it's going to happen sooner or later anyway. Even so, there seems to be a tacit agreement between Amir and Karluk that they're going to wait: so far they're only kissing, holding hands, and sleeping as a couple. Amir loves Karluk unconditionally and regardless of his age. Having said that, while she may adore his cuteness she tends not to feel physically attracted to him except when he shows a manlier side she hadn't noticed. She intends to take the next step with him when he's older, and since she's convinced he's going to make a great man someday she sometimes wishes he would grow up a little faster. Karluk, meanwhile, is very self-conscious of not being grown enough to bring out those feelings in Amir, and his pride is such that he probably won't initiate anything until he feels he's achieved his personal goals and proven himself to her.

The twins were actually aiming for that the entire time, just not with the brothers they ended up with.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_885a5be7	comment	During the Halgal-Badan invasion, there's a lot of this. In chapter thirty-three, Amir returns Karluk's favour of saving her by saving him via shooting down her father's horse, jumping down from atop a tall building, knocking his sword from his hands, and pinning him to the ground with it. Later, when the Badan betray the Halgal, Azel ends up saving various people — including Yusuf, Amir, and Karluk — in the nick of time, from both assailants and explosions. After that, when Azel, Amir, and Karluk are surrounded by Badan gunmen, Baimat and Joruk shoot down a few, sweep them away to comparative safety, and hand Azel his bow and quiver. Amir pays this back almost immediately, by using her belt as an improvised sling to knock out a gunman aiming for Azel. Following the conflict, Azel also pushes Amir out of the way when a mob of angry townsmen charge at him to beat him up. Once the authorities arrive and the town head casts Azel as a regular enemy to question, a bunch of old ladies who saw the whole thing interrupt and correct him.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_89a17726	comment	Spell My Name With An S: Amira or Amir? The official English translation went with Amir (which is based on the kana actually used by Mori) yet her name is spelled Amira in other official translations, like Spanish (which is based in "Amira" being the actual, real-world female name). Fans still debate the issue. That Mori has made "interesting" official spellings of non-Japanese names in other works of hers didn't help, either. This applies to a lot of the names due to the huge disconnect between Japanese and Turkic languages.

Not only does Mori draw the patterns on their dresses, she draws it slightly differently between different panels. note She redraws it every single time a pattern is used, even when the pattern reappears three panels under the first instance. There are straight examples, however. The patterns on Saahman's and Farsahmi's clothes in chapter twenty-one, for example, are the same size in every frame, even if perspective and distance should make them appear smaller. These are mostly done for simpler patterns, however, as the more complex ones are the ones that get more lavish attention.

They subvert it when they get into an argument, somehow picking up what the other means anyway. Talas experiences this when she and Mr. Smith arrive in Persia, as it turns out that her Farsi is rudimentary, at best. This makes it more difficult for Anis and Sherine to communicate with her, although the three of them do manage.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_b5b4b077	comment	The Ace: Barring her age, Amir is pretty much the perfect bride. Good at sewing, cooking, and hunting, kind, patient, etc. To top it off, she's a beauty. There's a funny moment when Pariya thinks of Amir and gets angry because she's struggling to learn to embroider while Amir is good at everything. Later on, when Pariya tries to think of an impossibly perfect human being, guess which face springs into her mind? Hot-Blooded tendencies aside, her elder brother, Azel, is basically the perfect man by the region's standards. He excels at hunting, archery, swordsmanship, leadership, falconry, equestrianism, and most traditionally male tasks. He's also smart, handsome, and very loyal to his family. In short, he's very clearly Amir's brother. Anis and Sherine also think that Anis' husband is this, particularly after he marries a widowed Sherine as well. He's rich, handsome, healthy, intelligent, cultured, and breathtakingly generous and compassionate — Anis constantly thinks how lucky she is to have married him and Sherine elaborates on what an admirable man he is as well. Kamola is considered the finest and most eligible girl in the village (sort of like the regional equivalent of a Yamato Nadeshiko) and her family is inundated with marriage proposals for her despite her being too young to marry quite yet. When Pariya is looking for an ideal girl to use as a role model (and, as mentioned above, writes off Amir as impossible for her to match) she settles on Kamola, and starts to stalk her around observing her, accidentally giving Kamola the idea that Pariya hates her. Ironically, when Pariya owns up to being jealous of Kamola's perfection, Kamola admits that she actually envies Pariya's ability to boldly speak her mind without reservation, and the two become friends.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_b61b755f	comment	Tomboy: Amir comes from a nomadic tribe and is used to riding horses, hunting, and using a bow and arrows. Especially shooting game while on horseback. This makes her quite a tomboy when compared to the culture of her new tribe, which gave up the nomadic life and settled down a few generations back. Otherwise, she's not that tomboyish, unlike... Pariya, who's not interested in needlework or marriage (she prefers baking and archery instead), and has a rougher personality than most other women shown. She speaks her mind without rounding the corners and is considered too "cheeky" for most groom candidates. The twins Laila and Leyli could count as this as well. They swim, dive, fish, and climb trees on their own. They're physically strong enough to knock a man unconscious with a projectile (a fish...). And they were quite averse to their mother's lessons on domestic chores and crafts.

After Sherine's husband dies, Anis begs her own husband to marry Sherine as well, which leads to Anis and Sherine getting even more intimate, and their story arc ends with all three being happily in love with each other. This arrangement results in Anis spending chapter 83 gushing over Sherine and chapter 85 gushing over her husband. Given the sociohistorical context — private and public segregation of sexes, as well as strong incentives to marry — it's very difficult to tell what these two women's preferences are.

All three of them try to dissuade the elder members of their clan, especially the Chief, to no avail.

Umar wants a girl who is straightforward and not too delicate. He says that Pariya isn't like other girls who cry easily or whom he doesn't know how to talk to. He admired her boisterous energy while she was working on the canals, and is delighted at her physical strength when she lifts up their wagon for repairs.

Yusuf and Mr. Smith (when you can actually see his face) are regular Pretty Boys, while Amir's cousin, Baimat, is kind of a Hunk.

She's kind of fascinated with Sherine's big breasts, remaking that her own didn't grow even after having a baby. She doesn't seem particularly envious, though, and if she feels insecure it's about her overall thin figure rather than just her breasts.

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_eb81c601	type	Big Damn Heroes
A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_eb81c601	comment	Big Damn Heroes: Despite this being a slice-of-life story, this actually happens at several points: Mr. Smith uses an impromptu flock of sheep to stop the heavily-armed Halgals from abducting Amir in chapter seven. He also saves Talas from a venomous snake by throwing rocks at it, in chapter fourteen. When the Halgals' night ambush has been defeated, one man manages to get to her house unnoticed and tries to abduct Amir. Just before he succeeds, Karluk puts a stop to this by first kicking the guy, then stabbing the guy's shin before the man successfully retaliates, resulting in the assailant falling from the ledge. During the Halgal-Badan invasion, there's a lot of this. In chapter thirty-three, Amir returns Karluk's favour of saving her by saving him via shooting down her father's horse, jumping down from atop a tall building, knocking his sword from his hands, and pinning him to the ground with it. Later, when the Badan betray the Halgal, Azel ends up saving various people — including Yusuf, Amir, and Karluk — in the nick of time, from both assailants and explosions. After that, when Azel, Amir, and Karluk are surrounded by Badan gunmen, Baimat and Joruk shoot down a few, sweep them away to comparative safety, and hand Azel his bow and quiver. Amir pays this back almost immediately, by using her belt as an improvised sling to knock out a gunman aiming for Azel. Following the conflict, Azel also pushes Amir out of the way when a mob of angry townsmen charge at him to beat him up. Once the authorities arrive and the town head casts Azel as a regular enemy to question, a bunch of old ladies who saw the whole thing interrupt and correct him.

This is particularly made clear when he is in danger of being executed due to the authorities getting a simplified version of the Halgal-Badan attack in chapter 35, and continues regardless, while being held down with his face to the ground.

He feels humiliated whenever he can't match her strength, as in his losses to her in arm wrestling, or his struggling with the draw weight of the horn bow she made for him. Most of all, their village's conflicts with the Halgal and Badan tribes make him decide that he never wants to be helpless again or be unable to protect Amir. He works hard to get muscular and wants to have Amir notice his gains.

In particular: In the first chapter, Amir receives some cloth from her mother-in-law, Sanira, which she uses to make a rabbit fur-trimmed vest for Karluk. Sanira says that she'd thought it'd be nice material for Amir to make something for herself. Amir thinks this means that Sanira thinks her current clothes are too dirty to wear, so she immediately strips down and runs off to do laundry. In chapter three, after Amir hunts down a fox, Karluk admits he worries she may one day run into a wolf. Her response?

A Bride's Story (Manga) / int_ff66d4c1	comment	Not So Similar: Very subtly developed between Laila and Leyli, who initially seem to be Single-Minded Twins. Because they've lived their entire lives together and are never apart, they seem to be completely identical, and when they get engaged to marry the brothers Sarmaan and Farsami the boys say it doesn't even matter which girl each of them marries because they're the same anyway and the girls themselves can't even come up with any way in which they're different. However when the girls go on trial dates with their intended the differences become quite apparent. Laila (who goes with Sarm) is the dominant, bossy one who wants to guide her husband, while Leyli (who accompanies Sami) is the comparatively passive dreamer who wants to be doted on. Fortunately laid-back Sarm and closet-romantic Sami match them perfectly.

She's even published a book of just her research for the series. While Mori made the common mistake of depicting the Japanese hold of the bowstring in chapter one, she was told about it, learned the correct, different Central Asian hold, and specifically depicted it in chapter sixty-two. The Muslim rites of animal slaughter are shown accurately at the twins' wedding in chapter twenty-four. Talas selling her jewellery in chapter seventy-one was actually the reason women of that time and place always carried them on their person to begin with: it was their property to subsist on, even in the case of leaving their husbands. In chapter 73, Mr. Hawking gives Mr. Smith and Ali a detailed explanation of the collodion wet plate photography process, from mixing the chemicals, to setting up the camera, to developing the picture.
