A domain name registration has spurred speculation that The Ancient Magus' Bride, a fantasy manga by Kore Yamazaki, may be receiving an anime adaptation in the near future. Astute Japanese fans have observed that the domain name "magus-bride.jp" has been registered to Mag Garden, the publishers of the The Ancient Magus' Bride manga.

Currently, no web page exists at the "magus-bride.jp" domain, although fans suspect that this URL may end up being the official domain name for an as-yet-unannounced anime adaptation.

The Ancient Magus' Bride is a fantasy manga written and illustrated by Kore Yamazaki. The series is serialized in Mag Garden's Monthly Comic Garden shonen manga anthology magazine. An English language version of The Ancient Magus' Bride is released by Seven Seas Entertainment, who describe the story as follows:

"Hatori Chise has lived a life full of neglect and abuse, devoid of anything resembling love. Far from the warmth of family, she has had her share of troubles and pitfalls. Just when all hope seems lost, a fateful encounter awaits her. When a man with the head of a beast, wielding strange powers, obtains her through a slave auction, Chise's life will never be the same again.





The man is a "magus,"a sorcerer of great power, who decides to free Chise from the bonds of captivity. The magus then makes a bold statement: Chise will become his apprentice--and his bride!"
