Hello, I really like the ancient magus bride, and sometimes I copy anime moments, or I just draw in my own style
Please don’t judge me, I know that I don’t draw perfectly, and very rarely. Most often it’s based on my mood, so there may be a long gap in posts
Also, sorry, English is not my native language and I mostly write through a translator

Kore Yamazaki is such a genius of ambiguity that someone could interpret her work as an exploration of an aro/ace relationship or as a panoply of fetish tropes including but not limited to forced marriage, vore, and tentacle porn and everyone is correct and no one actually knows the true intention behind any of it.

I really liked this fairy axolot, and I decided to draw it, this time it turned out better)
Oh, and forgive me for the fact that everything will be black and white, I don’t have the opportunity to draw in color right now (I moved , but the materials remained in the previous house, and others have dried up, which is why I draw mostly with a pencil and liners, although there is something in this too, but forgive me anyway🙏🏻)

Love, Power, and Safety in The Ancient Magus’ Bride
SPOILER WARNING: This article references events from Volumes 1-7 of The Ancient Magus’ Bride manga.
CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of abuse.
Although The Ancient Magus’ Bride is serialized in a shounen magazine in Japan, it bears a lot of parallels to the supernatural romance fantasies you commonly see in shoujo, particularly in its focus on the emotional life and development of the young female protagonist.
In the story, 15-year-old Chise Hatori willingly allows herself to be sold at an underground auction for members of a secret magical community, where she is purchased as an apprentice to one of the last true mages, Elias Ainsworth. Although Elias appears inhuman, he treats Chise with a kindness she has only rarely encountered—and also declares his intention to one day marry her.
I was fortunate enough to see the first three episodes of the anime in theaters, where a pretty diverse crowd was gathered. I attended mostly with other female friends who had already read the manga, but in line we got into a conversation with a group of young men who had bought tickets on a whim, since they were fans of Attack on Titan (also produced by Studio WIT). They asked us if we knew what the show was about. When we told them, they were shocked and initially uncomfortable.
Certainly, the premise of Magus’ Bride is a strange one, but their surprise stemmed more from concern that the story would be a horror tale about the protagonist being mistreated. The reactions of these strangers probably aren’t representative of some larger gender divide in how people react to this show, but it did make me think that, as a fan of the manga, I may have started to take the power imbalance in the premise for granted.

Chapter 56
Thanks, Alice, for asking the question. Of course, Chise doesn’t explain anything; the very next panel is an empty chair. I don’t know for sure that there is the same euphemism in Japanese as in English (and many other languages) but I imagine there is, which is why Alice’s question is both funny and poignant. Elias is probably not aware of the cultural connotations of sharing a bed and Chise might not be either. But Alice certainly is.
Sleep as intimacy is a big part of why this series speaks to my soul. Because to sleep next to someone is to reveal yourself at your weakest. It matters who we fall asleep next to. Your parents, your friends, your lovers, your own children - to sleep next to someone is to show vulnerability or to offer your protection, or both at once.
Chise is often deep asleep, sometimes for days, as a result of her special condition. Elias is often carrying her or holding her in his lap while she is sleeping. Chise and Elias only begin to share a bed after trust has been built (and Elias actually tests the limit of that trust doesn’t he?). At times they even share dreams. Physical touch and sleep are a huge part of their relationship and as none of this is presented as overtly sexual, Yamazaki leaves room to explore sleep as a different kind of intimacy. I’m here for it.
