So i'm from Canada and the French language section have Vol 16 listed schedule to release this August, but there are no info for Japan or the English one. Anyone have the info about those? Does changing the publisher effect schedule for Jap/English?

I saw the stunning photos in this collection and immediately thought of Amir!

Since it came up in a discussion in a previous post, I thought I might share this panel from one of Kaoru Mori’s omakes. Here, she talks about a few requests she made to the anime studio adapting Emma into an anime series.

I recently read all of Otoyomegatari, including the latest installment, and I'm really excited. When I entered the communities, I saw that many of them portray the relationship between Enis and Shirin as yuri, This seems to me to be a completely different kind of love than what I think exists between them.. Okay, I don't hate this relationship, but I don't like it either, because their relationship was very common and probably still exists today; it's almost like a sisterhood.

I've lived in Persia since birth, and a large and beautiful part of it was beautifully incorporated into the manga, but the fact that this relationship is portrayed as it is in that place makes me feel strange and uneasy.

While I was reading the last chapter today I remembered Karluk and Amira and realized that Otoyomegatari readers may liked it, because the high school romance is about a shorter boy and a taller girl that is very "reliable".

By the way... any news? 🥺

Drawn by me:)

Please don't respond if you don't know how to have a constructive discussion. This is NOT an invitation to throw troll-level criticism. Thankfully, this sub has a very positive feel to it, and I'd like to ask fellow lovers of Otoyo, How Do You Recommend This Manga with That Age Gap?

I'm genuinely curious how people have interpreted and viewed the main couple's age gap. On one hand we see a society largely comfortable with marrying off children. On the other hand, every character does seem to feel a bit "odd" about Karluk and Amir. It's a very interesting way of depicting people facing their discomfort, accepting and moving on because it is what it is, it was arranged, the customs must be followed, be it marriage or family relations.

Their relationship feels very wrong from a modern lens, but the excuse of "those times" seems to excuse away only older men and female children, not the vice versa. Despite the average media's fetishism of lolitas and daenerys', Karluk seems far far away from fetishized (thank god, THANK GOD). Despite this, I'm wholly aware how uncomfortable his age can feel to a reader - especially later scenes between them. How would people have felt if Karluk was 20 and Amir, 28 and the story had begun years after their marriage? If the main couple would have been a more palatable one like Pariya or Talas' relationship and the older female, younger male couple was a side story? Perhaps Amir was a side character bride whose life we see from the main girl's lens, about how Amir had arrived to marry a 12yo Karluk, who's now grown up, etc etc?

Also, do you think Karluk's family/village first felt tricked into accepting Amir and only did so to honor the elder's pact? If they had refused Amir, wouldn't she have nowhere to go and perhaps Karluk's family did not want to leave her for dead? Karluk's own family doesn't have a traditional patriarchal system in the first place, how do you think that fits in with their village, and affects their acceptance of Amir?

All in all, I love this manga but feel like the age gap makes it very hard to recommend since there is no knowing how the other reader would react to the it. So, I'm curious to know what the sub thinks about this, and how people have recommended the manga or talked about the age gap topic which eventually comes up. (I'd said, you'd be fine with vice versa so why not this?) Thank you for taking the time to read and participate in this discussion.

I like how she is both strict but a carrying mom she is really reflecting how harsh parents used to on there children back in the days . But she has lot more soft spot and carrying attitude toward her children comper to her husband but i guess it's natural since Father didn't used to spend that time with small children in those times ( he's still a good father tho )

Hello everyone, I’m a Yörük (a Turkish nomad) living in Türkiye. While I was reading a bride’s story, I noticed some similarities between Central Asian and Anatolian Turkish cultures. It’s only natural for us to share similarities, but I really didn’t expect them to be this alike. While reading it, I genuinely felt like I was back in my village again.

Anyway, here are some of the similarities I noticed:

The dress I shared with you is called “üç etek.”

You can also see the similarities between the carpet patterns.

The last photo is the interior of a Yörük house, which again looks very similar to theirs.

This manga deserves to get an anime adaptation in the future.

Like the poem is romantic as hell .

Sorry this question has probably been asked many times on here but I'm wondering if there's been any news recently.
