Nokemono to Hanayome (Japanese: ノケモノと花嫁, lit. "The Outcast and His Bride") is a Japanese serial novel and manga written by Kunihiko Ikuhara. The serial novel was published in the teenage fashion magazine Kera [jp] from 2006 to 2007 as "Part 1", while a manga written by Ikuhara and illustrated Asumiko Nakamura was published from 2007 to 2017 as "Part 2". A sequel manga series, Nokemono to Hanayome+ (ノケモノと花嫁|+, "+" pronounced "cross"),[1] was serialized on the digital distribution platform Comic Boost from 2018 to 2020.
Synopsis
Described by publisher Comic Boost as a "lolita hardboiled" series,[2] Nokemono to Hanayome is set in a world ruled by the "Moeru Kirin", a group of teenagers who dress in animal costumes. The series follows the relationship between Hitsuji Sera, the series' titular bride, and Itaru Hagumazuka, a boy who wears a bear costume.
Development
Ikuhara developed a pitch for an anime adaptation of Nokemono to Hanayome from 2005 to 2006.[1] The adaptation, titled Nokemono to Hanayome+, would ultimately not transpire, with Ikuhara opting to instead publish the story as a sequel manga in 2018.[1] The series is regarded as a precursor to several of Ikuhara's later anime series, with animal costume elements from Nokemono to Hanayome appearing in Yurikuma Arashi; Nokemono to Hanayome is also inspired by the Tokyo subway sarin attack, which appears as a central plot element in Ikuhara's Penguindrum.[1]
Media
Nokemono to Hanayome was published in the fashion magazine Kera [jp] as a serial novel from 2006 to 2007, and as a manga from 2007 to 2017.[1] Beginning in 2018, the sequel series Nokemono to Hanayome+ began serialization on the digital distribution platform Denshi Birz (renamed Comic Boost in 2019), with new chapters published every other month.[3] The series concluded in April 2020.[4]
The manga series has been collected into eight tankōbon volumes, with the first three volumes published by Index Communications [jp], volumes four and five published by Mall of TV [jp], and volumes six to eight published by Gentosha Comics.[2]
