A TV anime adaptation of The Barbarian’s Bride manga (Himekishi wa Barbaroi no Yome) will air in 2025. A teaser trailer and visual have been released.
The manga by Noriaki Kotoba is serialized in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine and will release its eighth tankoubon volume on October 8. K MANGA publishes it digitally as The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King, while a physical release from Seven Seas Entertainment will debut on October 15. The latter describes the premise as:
A captured knight finds herself betrothed to the leader of the very tribe she was sent to fight in this fantasy manga.
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?
