Flee the Night

I'm watching season two and the brain rot got me. I love it so much.... I am going to make a season two version but I am cooking man. College assignments take priority rn rip.

Since Yamazaki is going to the Anime NYC this weekend, she will probably talk about the upcoming arc. Interestingly enough, the official page of the event says that it's to be scheduled for this year (although it was written like it was a new manga, but whatever).

Will the story come back after the second season ends? We will just have to wait and see.

not too long ago i thought about writing a post about how i felt like veronica often gets judged too harshly and framed as if she was a malicious actor and how i always viewed her as well intentioned but damaged herself, only contributing to philomelas trauma as a result-- ultimately i kinda put it off then forgot about it, but man do i feel vindicated right now

(and these refined little cuties for those like me who care:)

yet another comfy princess shoujo over 🥲 good-bye to another 1/3 of the "monster-that-is-secretly-everyone's-aesthetic" aka back when mahoutsukai no yome, totsukuni no shoujo, and niehime to kemono no ou were all going strong around the same time

actually a lovely ending and i'm happy holding out for the translation over the years wasn't a painful wait but more of a nice treat whenever a new chapter came (you know what i mean?)

this is not a pretty photoset post i am basically just on tweetie bird app now for vtubers but haven't penetrated the niche manga community yet so thought it would be nice to revisit tumblr ㅋㅋㅋ

(^w^) hope ppl are excited for when the anime comes out! the director is someone who helped make a lot of my first shoujo romance anime back in the 2000s so i'm kind of looking forward to bringing back that nostalgic innocence (hope there's hype as well as the possible extra sacrificial princess content as hinted by the author 👀)

= he's aware of his feelings for Torrey at least from this moment on (chaper 73)

which adds some context to this moment from chapter 81:

奥さん or 嫁さん?

I confess - I am so obsessed with this story that I’ve even started Duolingo for Japanese. While I’ve enjoyed other anime series and Studio Ghibli for years, nothing motivated me to try to learn the language before Mahoutsukai no yome. I have some notion that if I understood the original Japanese I would be that much closer to understanding what Elias x Chise means or what Yamazaki is trying to say about marriage. Of course, that probably isn’t true - it’s probably just as ambiguous in Japanese as it is in English.

My other fandom, the Phantom of the Opera, is also a story with an ambiguous central relationship that raises questions about love and what it means to be married. The first English translation of the original French novel has some major translation issues that are both frustrating and fascinating when trying to understand whether Christine is really meant to love Erik or not. While I’m not fully fluent in French, I can read it well enough to compare the original with the various English translations and consider the details that were left out and how they change the meaning of the story. I want to be able to do this with Mahoutsukai no yome too. There are various English translations of the manga, and then there are the anime subtitles which are not the same as the English dub script. There are endless possibilities for small changes that might alter the meaning of certain scenes. I want to be able to look back at the original when I have doubts. 

I’ve learned that there are numerous ways to say wife or bride in Japanese. From what I can tell, the anime most often uses some variation of yome (嫁), meaning bride. But in the very first episode, when Elias first mentions, very casually, that Chise is his future wife, he uses okusan (奥さん), which I understand can mean wife, but also housewife, or any married woman. Bride and wife are certainly related words, but even in English they carry nuanced meanings. 

Do Elias and Chise use other words for “wife” that carry other meanings in the story? My Japanese is not good enough to listen for other words yet, but I’d love to hear what other readers and viewers of the series know. 

As the story is called Mahoutsukai no yome (Ancient Magus Bride) Chise’s status as Elias’ bride is at the center of the story. At the end of the first arc they have what could be called a symbolic wedding. But was it a real wedding and is it a real marriage? These are the kinds of questions that are never directly answered by Yamazaki, not even in the lovely rooftop scene in which they discuss the various roles they hold in each other’s lives. Is she his okusan, his yome, or some other third thing that doesn’t have any title because it is so unique to this human and her monster husband? It’s maddening and delicious.
