Hatori Chise 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. The man is a "magus,"a sorcerer of great power, who decides to free Chise from the bonds of captivity. The magus then makes a bold statement: Chise will become his apprentice--and his bride!

"I really enjoyed this one. It's well thought out, and the style is great. Magic and adventure with a bit of romance with a great ending, what more could you want."

Kaitlyn Kendall

"A bit too dark to be considered a comfort or cozy watch, and yet is closer to that than trying to call it an adventure anime. The art is pretty. The voice actors deliver! It’s a subtle and interesting romance. "

Pey Dé

"I wanted to love this, but after the millionth inner monologue and some very questionable relationship choices I just couldn't. "

Sara D

"Yes ‼️"

Blackberry Venuz

"This show changed me. I adore it. So emotional! I love them and the patience they all have for one another. Also all the settings and characters - *chefs kiss* I’m a grown ass woman who feels 12 again when I watch this show lol. Chise!! Elias! "

Myrka 🗣

"A bit cringy at first but gets better. Ending is rushed. Explores codependency and childhood trauma. Pretty good world building "

Isabella Danforth

"I recommend it if you like a more story driven anime it does have a few action scenes in it that are very well done but it is a very stylish show and the romance plot isn't overbearing it is there but there's more going on than just that"
