Manga Jam #45: A Bride's Story - Vol 1-5

A Brides's Story (乙嫁語り) by acclaimed manga-ka Kaoru Mori(森 薫) is a series set in Central Asia near the Capsian Sea in the late 1800s about a young woman who marries into a new village focusing on the cultural and societal details of life in this time and place. We will be reading volumes 1-5 to get a nice introduction to this longer series (8 volumes available in English).
