What is The Barbarian's Bride about?
The Barbarian's Bride, also known as The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King, is based on the dark fantasy rom-com manga series written and illustrated by Noriaki Kotoba. The series has been serialized in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine since January 2021.
Seven Seas Entertainment, which publishes the official English version of the manga, shared a story description for The Barbarian's Bride:
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?
