Bride of Deimos

Bride of Deimos (Japanese: 悪魔(デイモス)の花嫁, Hepburn: Deimosu no Hanayome) is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written by Etsuko Ikeda and illustrated by Yuuho Ashibe. It premiered in Princess magazine in December 1974, later moving to Viva Princess, where it ran until the magazine became defunct with the release of its October 1990 issue. Akita Shoten collected the chapters into 17 compiled volumes published under the Princess Comics imprint; ComicsOne licensed the series for an English-language release in North America and published seven volumes before going out of business. In August 1988, the manga inspired an original video animation (OVA) adaptation directed by Rintaro and produced by Madhouse. In May 2007, Bride of Deimos resumed serialization in Monthly Bonita magazine, with the subtitle "The Final Chapter" (最終章, Sai Shūshō). It was put on hiatus in April 2014, with six compiled volumes published as of May 2014.
