A Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori is our topic for this podcast! This is a review/opinion piece where we discuss a lot of topics related to the manga and there are spoilers!  

A Bride's Story is a story about a bride. SIKE! It's actually a story about multiple brides! Well, to be fair,  it is exactly that. It is a slice of life story that focuses on different places in Central Asia. We go to many places like the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea, Ankara, Tabriz and so on. The story follows a few main brides that are married into families (and even a few that are unmarried) and it also follows the journey of an Englishman named Henry Smith, who is trying to preserve the culture of these places with the help of his notebook. He acts as a historian in this setting, making sure there are historical records of the people of this time and how they lived. 

 The story itself is basic. It talks about the everyday lives of these people with drama happening of course. It has a lot of fighting, war, love, bread baking, and even embroidery weaving! Let's talk about those for a second. These places are known for their insane and intricate details on rugs, carpets, pillowcases, cloth, and even wooden doors. These patterns make them unique and are passed down from generation to generation. The grandmother teaches the mother who teaches her child and so on. What is really interesting is that while they do continue the old traditions of embroidery, the newer generation always makes their own additions to it, making it a part of the rich culture.  

 A final note is that the cultures of these countries and India overlap a lot. We have given our input where we can and we have made sure to explain that we're talking about how things are happening in our experiences and it might or might not directly translate to what they faced/face in their lives. Please keep that in mind and let us know your thoughts in the comments down below!
