The world of The Ancient Magus’ Bride is bigger than Elias and Chise, and many are the folk and spirits who cross their lives’ path. Their tales are woven into a tapestry, words like silver yarn, twining together emotions and warmth. Held within these pages are new stories of Kore Yamazaki’s fantastic Britain, penned by the author herself and a star-studded lineup of Japanese authors. From the story of a very strange brownie to gangsters and dragon eggs, and a mage who finds a clutch of magical silkworms, let this spell-binding collection return you to the hidden corners of a beloved fantasy world.

Shaking the wide plains of Britannia, known only to a select few, is the legendary travelling tavern the BOAR HAT. Gathered in this tavern are the equally legendary Seven Deadly Sins, the proud order of knights that permits no disruption to the order of the Kingdom of Liones. In a brief moment of peace before the great war that will test their strengths, the knights gather in the strange tavern to recall their rainbow-­colored histories. The three episodes here reveal their hidden sweet and painful memories. (Source: Kodansha USA)
