This review summarizes genetic, molecular and biochemical studies of the SU(VAR)3-9 protein and the evidence for its key role in heterochromatin formation and heterochromatic gene silencing. The Su(var)3-9 locus was first identified as a dominant modifier of position-effect variegation (PEV) in Drosophila melanogaster. Together with Su(var)2-5 and Su(var)3-7, Su(var)3-9 belongs to the group of haplo-suppressor loci which show a triplo-dependent enhancer effect. All three genes encode heterochromatin-associated proteins. Su(var)3-9 is epistatic to the PEV modifier effects of Su(var)2-5 and Su(var)3-7, and it also dominates the effect of the Y chromosome on PEV. These genetic data support a central role of the SU(VAR)3-9 protein in heterochromatic gene silencing, one that is correlated with its activity as a histone H3-K9 methyltransferase (HMTase). In fact, SU(VAR)3-9 is the main chromocenter-specific HMTase of Drosophila. SU(VAR)3-9 and HP1, the product of Su(var)2-5, are main constituents of heterochromatin protein complexes and the interaction between these two proteins is interdependent. Functional analysis in fission yeast, Drosophila and mammals demonstrate that SU(VAR)3-9-dependent gene silencing processes are conserved in these organisms. This is also demonstrated by the rescue of Drosophila Su(var)3-9 mutant phenotypes with human SUV39H1 transgenes.

The story of the three-part OVA has Chise already somewhat settled into her life with the magical, skull-headed Elias. She finds a book titled The Lonely Little Star, which reminds her of her troubled life before meeting him. From there, she finds a magical library in the forest and becomes entangled in the machinations of the magician that maintains it.

Though The Ancient Magus' Bride: Those Awaiting a Star is billed as a prequel to the show, a more accurate term would be "interquel." Its events roughly fall in place with the middle of the series, approximately around episodes 12-13. These episodes reflect on Chise's past, her parents and her growing relationship with Elias. The OVA thematically matches these elements, and are far too related to them to be a true prequel.
