Books like A Bride's Story, Vol. 2

I'm going through my second childhood enjoying graphic novels (anime/manga). Actually I'm only interested in the ones which are cultural or historical. The second installment of A Bride's Story is better than the first story wise. It delves more into the cultural and historical setting of the story than the first book. Mr. Smith (no relation) who is an a young British researcher/anthropologist and is a guest of Karluk and Amir's family is more visible this time in the story. In the first book I wondered who is this blonde guy with glasses and how does he fit into the story? He just pops up a few times in book one. At the end of the book the author once again writes an interesting afterword of the what, when, and why aspects of the novel. Karluk and Amir's story ends as Mr. Smith rides off to another town in Central Asia to continue his research and thus another bride's story will begin. The A Bride's Story series is made up of multiple books. It's possible I might read more of them though none of the libraries here in Georgia have any volumes beyond book two in the series.
