Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the original manga by Noriaki Kotoba and gave this description for it:
The Barbarian’s Bride Plot
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?
Kotoba first began publishing the manga in early 2021, when it started in the pages of Bessatsu Shonen Magazine from Kodansha. Seven Seas has released two volumes so far, with the third volume scheduled to drop on May 6. Meanwhile, eight volumes of the manga have been published in Japan, with volume nine expected to become available on April 9.
