Summary - English
Volume 1: Amir (20), a beautiful girl, marries a 12-year-old boy named Karruk. Will the nomad and the settler, overcoming an age difference of eight years, be able to get married? Kaoru Mori, who depicted late 19th century England in “Emma,” depicts the culture of life on the Silk Road in her latest work. Riding on the back of a horse and holding a bow, this is a story of characters living in the land of eternity!

None come to mind
Reason(s) for nominating: This one has its healing properties from its beautiful art. Just look at the clothes. Story wise it follows various young married couples in 19th century (?) continental Asia. Though I think the first volume stays in one village. I’ve read the first 13 volumes in translation and plan on reading volumes 14 and 15 in Japanese. But I wouldn’t mind rereading the first volume in Japanese. In fact it could help familiarize me with the names and vocabulary in Japanese. It would also incentivize me to buy the other books in Japanese, which would look better my shelf.
