The Barbarian’s Bride (also known as Himekishi wa Barbaroi no Yome or The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King) is a Japanese manga created by Noriaki Kotoba. The series has been serialized in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine starting from January 2021. The anime adaptation was announced in October 2024.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English, describing the story:
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?
