#Manga Publisher Hakusensha Launches Its Original Net Anime Channel on YouTube

Japanese publisher Hakusensha has announced the launch of “Hakusen Anime Channel,” its official YouTube channel to offer original net anime episodes based on popular manga series that are serialized in its magazines.　

IThe first title is Keiko Sakano’s Oni no Hanayome wa Taberaretai (The Demon’s Bride Wants to Be Eaten), which has been serialized in the publisher’s Hano to Yume bi-monthly shojo manga magazine. The total number of copies printed is approaching 300,000, and the latest fourth volume is scheduled for release on January 20, 2022.

The story centers on a human girl named Mashiro, who was saved by the demon chieftain, Shuten Douji. To become his food, she marries him at the age of 17 when she is ready to be eaten. But on the other hand, Shuten Douji loves her deeply and has no intention of using her as food. They misunderstand each other because they love each other too much.

In the net anime, Mashiro is voice by Maaya Uchida (Catarina Claes in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!), while Suten Douji is played by Junichi Suwabe (Keigo Atobe in The Prince of Tennis).
