The Ancient Magus' Bride
魔法使いの嫁
A young woman, Chise Hatori, escapes her troubled past and finds herself in a world of magic and wonder with a mysterious man.
Chise Hatori has lived a life full of neglect and abuse, devoid of anything resembling love. Far from the warmth of family, she has had her share of troubles and pitfalls. Just when all hope seems lost, a fateful encounter awaits her. When a man with the head of a beast, wielding strange powers, obtains her through a slave auction, Chise's life will never be the same again. (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
