What is The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King about?
The anime is based on Noriaki Kotoba’s manga series which began serialising in January 2021 in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine. Both KManga and Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English and describes the story 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?
