SynopsisLost in the mountains on a trip to summer camp, eight-year-old Si-Joon fears he’ll never make it out alive. When a strange girl in a pig mask appears before him, he follows her to a house deep in the woods, where he is told that he must marry the pig-faced girl to atone for the sins of their ancestors. Si-Joon’s not too keen on getting married, but that wedding feast looks so delicious! It’s only afterward that he realizes what he’s done and…wakes up. Now in high school, Si-Joon Lee has been dreaming about the pig bride for as long as he can remember. But it’s all just a dream, right?

I'm only writing this review because there is not one at the moment so it might not be good
This manga is about a girl with a pig mask and a boy who meets her as a kid and they agree to get marred though he is eight years old and wasn't really paying attention, she says will meet on his 16 birthday. He thinks it's a dream and on his birthday she comes down to see him and he is not happy about marrying someone he doesn't know, can't see her face of and generally not happy that he is forced into it as you would be if it was a promise made at eight years old .
Has a good amount of comedy and made me laugh at times. The art is good not the best this ever but nothing to be disappointed over. The characters are very likeable and fun to read about. One thing I personally didn't like is there wasn't that much background story on the side characters I mean there was a few pages on it but I personally would have liked to see more and maybe a side love story but who knows I have only read to volume 4 I can't find volume 5 in English so there might be that stuff in there later on.
Over all it was allot better than I thought it would be when I first read on MAL what it was about I was sceptical but is was good enjoyable I haven't finished it as I said but I would recommend it to anyone who has nothing to read and it looking for something to.

They are both historical type fantasy shoujos with a main female character who has to wear a mask. In Xia Ke Xing she has been raised as a sacrifice and called Miss Ugly for years while in Pig Bride she has to wear a mask because of a curse. Both girls come from mountain villages whose families are trained in martial arts and believe in the old ways. The boy in each falls for the girl before he sees her face. They are different in that Xia Ke Xing is more historical and has more of an adventure story feel to it.

The drawings are somewhat similar to each other, and they both got to do with shrines. It also has a common type of comedy. The plot is very different than the other, but I can't help but be reminded of KH when I read PB! o:
They are both awesome. A must read! <3
