I adored this. It's as equally beautiful in its art as in its storytelling, and the tenderness between the two leads is as gentle as it is powerful.

This is an absolute gem. Moyori Mori is slowly but surely becoming my favourite mangaka. Her stories are bittersweet yet full of hope. Her characters carry so much baggage and an intense loneliness that the other person heals little by little.
Even though this one is more fantastical than 'Touching Your Night', everything still feels plausible and their relationship is just beautiful.
The artwork is an absolute masterpiece. I’ve never seen such delicate, fine lines and such pure expressions. It’s flawless.

Rating to be adjusted once series is complete.
First and foremost, this is an incredibly beautiful work - Moyori Mori's art was already beautiful in the debut Touch in the Abyss and this has only improved. It's almost a little like Kaoru Mori's A Bride's Story, both have such incredible detail and it's no wonder both appear to be fairly slow at releasing new chapters. So as far as the art goes, this one can't be recommended enough.
As for the plot - I like it but I am also not entirely convinced by Rita yet. He lives in a village that was ravaged by dragons and has since been sacrificing brides for the dragons every 20 years. Rita takes it upon himself and leaves his village as a sacrifice. His motivation isn't entirely clear - is it because he wants to find a purpose in life? Is it because he doesn't want to go on living? The dragon Ignat certain isn't what he expected, but by and large, Rita's motives strike me as a little selfish. I was more invested in Ignat's story and I definitely appreciated the general set up: Ignat seems neither quite human nor quite dragon. Human emotions seem to affect him differently. Both characters are deeply lonely in their own way and there certainly are many beautiful moments between them.
A lot of the content feels more reflective and almost slice of life domestic affairs rather than a fantasy adventure. There is a melancholic tone throughout this volume but small interactions between the characters lighten things up.
Despite not being entirely convinced by Rita, I did enjoy this volume and I look forward to continuing this series.

5+ ⭐️ Greatest manga of the year? This was a masterpiece, and I will count the days until we get more from this incredible story! It was just so beautiful, intriguing, heartbreaking, and an absolute joy to read! Anyone who loves romantasy, dragons, and hurt/comfort, needs to pick this up!

«Ya no necesito ninguna novia».
Cuenta la leyenda que hace mucho, mucho tiempo, los dragones de las montañas convivían en armonía con los humanos de la aldea bajo la montaña. Cuando los humanos desearon más poder, comenzaron a matar dragones y esto provocó que los dragones, enfurecidos, arrasaran la aldea con las llamas de su aterrador fuego. Para calmar la ira de los poderosos seres alados, los humanos decidieron entregarles una novia humana, una ofrenda -o sacrificio- de paz. Y así ha sido desde entonces: cada veinte años, una "novia" es enviada a las montañas de los dragones.
Rita es un joven huérfano y el nuevo elegido como "la novia" del dragón. Yendo por las montañas con la cabeza alta en plena ventisca, el temporal hace que el joven se desmaye antes de poder llegar a su destino. Cuando abre los ojos, el joven se encuentra en una cueva, herido en la pierna, y acompañado de un ser que parece humano, pero que no lo es. El ser no es otro que el dragón que vive en las montañas, Ignat, al cual Rita se le debe entregar como su novia. Pero cuando Ignat le dice alto y claro que no necesita ninguna "novia", y que puede quedarse solo hasta que se le cure la pierna, el castillo de naipes que Rita había construido en su cabeza se desmorona. Sabiendo que no puede volver a la aldea (porque se cree que, si una novia "huye", el dragón irá a por ella) y que no tiene a dónde ir, Rita se siente más perdido que nunca.
«Si la hierbo y me la bebo... Si soporto los cambios de la dragonificación, ¿podré convertirme en dragón?».
Cuidando de él mientras está convaleciente, Ignat deja que Rita viva en su cueva, lo vigila y protege de los animales salvajes de las montañas mientras sana su pierna poco a poco con reposo y las hierbas medicinales que Rita prepara. Pero por mucho que le diga el dragón que debe irse, el joven humano está más que empecinado en cumplir con su papel de "novia" y a no irse de allí. Por ello, cuando Ignat le da sus razones para desechar a todas las novias que le han enviado desde la aldea a lo largo de los años -incluido él- y le habla sobre la dragonificación, Rita decide llevarla a cabo con tal de quedarse allí, sin importar el riesgo que eso supone. Y es que, sin ningún lugar al que volver, Rita solamente quiere serle útil a alguien y tener aquello que llamamos hogar.
Narrándonos con sensibilidad un romance slow burn, Moyori Mori nos presenta La novia del dragón, una cozy fantasy, una historia de amor puro y desinteresado en la que dos seres solitarios encuentran su lugar en el mundo en compañía de otro a la vez que hallan reconocimiento y aceptación mutua total.

*ੈ🐉 ༘⋆໋✧˚ A young man is sacrificed as the dragon's bride but the dragon tells him he doesn't need one *ੈ🐉 ༘⋆໋✧˚
Moyori Mori sensei? I love everything that you do. I read Touch Within the Abyss not so long ago and completely fell in love with Moyori-sensei's art and storytelling. Bride of Ignat was definitely a title I've been wanting to read. I think I saw it once or twice back then but I was so happy that it was going to get an English release! It's definitely a manga worth getting the print copy, the art is beautiful and I feel I could reread this a thousand times. I love Rita and the dragon and their sweet, soft and quiet bond. I'm veryyyy hyped to get to more volumes and know more!

Moyori Mori got me again! She got me good! 😭
First of all, it must be said again and again, her artwork is GORGEOUS. Everything looks so beautiful and magical. There’s always so much clear emotion conveyed through her artwork. It’s legitimately one of my favorite things about her work. Because an artist could make something pretty to look at but that feels cold and detached, but this mangaka always packs so much depth of feeling through her work. I LOVE IT!
Second of all, how did this volume end and these two didn’t even share a besito?! My heart! How am I supposed to cope until (god knows when) the next volume will be released? Am I just destined to suffer and weep? Rita and Ignat are too sweet to torture me like this! I just need both of them to be happy and together. They don’t need to be lonely anymore. They have each other. All the little scenes of them hugging and cuddling made me want to weep 💖🥺💖
I guess I’ll sit in my corner and cry as I wait for the next volume…maybe I’ll reread Touch Within the Abyss for the fifth time to console myself 😩

ภาพสวยตาแตกเหมือนเดิมม คอนเซปรอบนี้จะมีกลิ่นอายแนวๆเอเชียกลางนิดๆ+ความแฟนตาซีมังกรเอยไรเอย คือมันโครตจะดือ งานภาพเต็ม10 นักวาดระดับชั้นครูจนอยากกราบ
เนื้อเรื่องก็ถือว่าใช้ได้เลยนะ แต่ส่วนตัวอ่านแล้วรู้สึกปมไม่หนักมากแต่เน้นไปที่จะเดินหน้าไปไงไม่ก็การพัฒนาความสัมพันธ์ของอิกนาตกับลิต้าซะมากกว่า(มั้งนะ) ซึ่งตรงนี้เราชอบนะอิ่มฟูใจดี

Cozy and kicking my feet cuteee. Rita is just a ball of sunshine with a lot on his shoulders and ignat is so broody it’s my favorite trope pairing. I was sad when I finished this honestly because it was so cute to see them both slowly opening up to each other and no news of volume two so probably reread very soon 🫣

i read this on [REDACTED WEBSITE] at the beginning of the year but waited to log it until the english volume was published & on Goodreads, which is now.
the art is SO BEAUTIFUL... every page is full of really visually delicious illustrations. So i dont even care that the writing is mid. I dont even care that his name is Rita. I just loved looking at it <3

Ich musste mich erst ein bisschen einfühlen, aber am Ende angekommen, fand ich es gut. Ich mochte vor allem Yana, das Rentier, und den Zeichenstil. Ich bin noch nicht sicher, ob ich weiterlesen werde.

Lindísima historia, lindísima la relación entre los protagonistas y líndisimo el dibujo. Deseando que se publique el tomo 2 para ver como se sigue desarrollando el romance entre los dos protas.
