Mahoutsukai no Yome

In "Mahoutsukai no Yome," fifteen-year-old Chise Hatori, a Japanese girl, found herself in an unusual situation. She was sold at an auction for five million pounds to a tall, masked gentleman.

Abandoned during her early years and ostracized by her peers due to her unconventional behavior, she was willing to go to any buyer if it meant finding a place to call home. Bound in chains and on her way to an uncertain future, she overheard whispers from robed men along the way, discussing the rarity of a Sleigh Beggy falling into the hands of such a buyer.

Despite the murmurs, the enigmatic man eventually revealed himself as Elias Ainsworth, a magus. Following a brief confrontation and some teleportation magic, Chise and Elias found themselves in Elias' idyllic cottage in rural England. Surrounded by fairies and a host of strange and fantastical beings, this marked the beginning of Chise's journey in "Mahoutsukai no Yome" as the apprentice and purported bride of the ancient magus.

Chise's tumultuous past and her yearning for belonging are met with the bewitching and often precarious world of magic, where fairies and fantastical beings reside. The series navigates the delicate balance between light and darkness as our girl grapples with her newfound role and discovers the intricacies of the magical realm. And that is how her relationship with Elias unfolds against this backdrop of enchanting landscapes and mysterious creatures, captivating all viewers with its heartfelt storytelling and evocative visuals.
