An anime adaptation of Kureha's Oni no Hanayome (The Ogre's Bride) light novel was announced by publishing company Starts Shuppan on Tuesday.

Kureha originally began penning the fantasy romance series, also known by its short name Onihana, on the Novema! website in 2019. Starts Shuppan began printing the novel with illustrations by Yuu Shiratani under its Starts Shuppan Bunko in October 2020. The ninth volume went on sale in May 2024.

Jun Togashi began serializing a manga adaptation on the noicomi web magazine in December 2021. Starts Shuppan released the sixth volume last November, with the seventh volume going on sale on June 13. Onihana has a cumulative 5.8 million copies of its light novel and manga volumes combined.

MangaPlaza began publishing the manga in English under the title The Ogre's Bride in March 2025.

Synopsis
"You're the bride I've been searching for all this time."

The ayakashi and humans coexist in harmony. The ayakashi, having superior abilities and beautiful appearances, sometimes find their partner among human women, making them their "bride." The bride, in exchange for bringing prosperity, receives absolute love from the ayakashi.

Yuzu is constantly compared to her sister, a bride of a demon fox, and is resented by her family every day. One day, when Yuzu just couldn't take things anymore, a man appeared before her on a bridge. This man is the most beautiful man Yuzu has ever seen... and he's calling her his wife?!

"Just be quiet and let me hold you." The most powerful, "cold-hearted" ayakashi is pouring his heart out for Yuzu?! (Source: MangaPlaza, edited)

The story looks interesting. Romance with an eccentric couple developing love cannot go wrong, having Chise and Miyo as witnesses... Watch list, rooting for competent studio, director and screenwriter.
