The series serves as the television anime adaptation of Mangaka Noriaki Kotoba’s original Shonen manga series of the same name. The manga began serialization in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in January 2021, where it is still ongoing today. The manga has been collected into eight compilation volumes as of this article’s writing, with three available in or slated for release in English.

Seven Seas Entertainment licenses the manga for release in English, and describes its story:

“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?”
