The Barbarian’s Bride Anime
Manga and English Release
The Barbarian’s Bride manga has been licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment, which will release the third English volume on May 6. Seven Seas describes the story as follows:
Serafina de Lavillant, the strongest female knight in the West, was sent to subjugate the barbaric tribes of the East. But when her mission fails spectacularly, she’s captured alive and imprisoned. Humiliated and dreading what horrific torture she’ll endure, she asks to be put to death.
To her surprise, rather than tearing her limb from limb, the tribe leader asks for her hand…in marriage! Will Serafina face a cruel and abusive arranged marriage? Or will she discover that these tribes aren’t as barbaric as she was led to believe?
Noriaki Kotoba began serializing the series in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in January 2021. Kodansha released the eighth compiled volume on October 8, and the ninth volume is set to launch on April 9.
