New Manga Adaptation 'The Happiness of the Sacrificial Princess' Hits Shelves with First Volume
The Happiness of the Sacrificial Princess (Japanese: 生贄姫の幸福 ～孤独な贄の少女は、魔物の王の花嫁となる～) series' first volume was released on June 8, 2024, by Overlap publishing under the Gardo Comics label. The manga is drawn by Yui Madoka, while the story is based on the light novel of the same name by Hanasaki.
The novel is described as a fantasy-romance revolving around the relationship between a sacrificial princess left to die and a pure-hearted but fearsome demon king who can't seem to get along. While the princess thinks she will be eaten by the demon king, this work depicts her process of actually falling in love with him, offering an unusual dynamic for fans of the genre.
Yui Madoka is an artist known for works such as "Cat Princess and the Sword Master". Hanasaki is a writer who gained popularity on web novel platforms; her novel The Happiness of the Sacrificial Princess began print publication by Overlap in 2021. The manga adaptation seems likely to help the novel reach a wider audience.
The first volume contains 192 pages and black-and-white illustrations. The series offers a balanced amount of humor and emotional moments for readers interested in the romantic fantasy genre. Subsequent volumes of the manga are expected to be released soon. For up-to-date information, you can follow Overlap's Gardo Comics page.
