manga: A Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori

[meganbmoore]

A Bride's Story is set on the Silk Road in the 19th century, and tells the story of Amir, a 20-year-old woman from a semi-nomadic tribe who enters into a political marriage with Karluk, a boy 8 years her junior. It's somewhat slice-of-life in a setting that isn't often explored, and with a decidely different approach than most of what's out there

I wonder if you've seen this before.

This site has an interview with Mori at her workplace (in Japanese though), but there are videos here of her drawing a character from Otoyomegatari. The detailing involved in this series is crazy. Clothing pr0n indeed.

Scroll down and click the link to go to the next pages, since they're not all in the same page.
