KADOKAWA Shoten publishes the original Bride of the Barrier Master light novels in Japan under its KADOKAWA Bunko imprint, with the sixth volume set to hit Japanese bookstores on August 25, 2025.
Enterbrain is also serializing a manga adaptation, illustrated by Odayaka. The novel series is written by Kureha and illustrated by Bodax. English-language editions of both the Bride of the Barrier Master light novels and manga are published by Yen Press, which describes the story as:
For thousands of years, Japan has been protected by five clans wielding barrier-weaving magic. Born to a branch family of one such clan, eighteen-year-old Hana has always been stuck in the shadow of her more capable, beautiful, and popular twin sister. When a strong power awakens within Hana, she chooses to hide it so she can continue living a quiet life out of the spotlight. But that ideal lifestyle begins to slip out of reach when Saku Ichinomiya takes over as the new head of the Ichinomiya clan and sets out to find a bride strong enough to stand by his side. Eager to keep her abilities secret, Hana steers clear of Saku… but will she be tempted to sign a marriage contract if it guarantees the peaceful, quiet future of her dreams?
