Bride of the Barrier Master (Kekkaishi no Ichirinka) is a Japanese novel series by Kureha, featuring illustrations from Bodax. Kureha commented on the anime:
When I first heard the news, I was shocked and couldn’t believe it, but as the script and character designs progressed, it gradually began to feel real.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped the series grow this far.
I will continue to do my best so that The Exorcist’s Lone Flower can keep thriving.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
The series launched in December 2021 under Kadokawa Bunko. There is also a manga adaptation by Odayaka, which began serialization in B’s Log Comic (Enterbrain) in March 2022. Yen Press licensed both the novel and manga in English, describing the story:
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?
