Oni no hanayome (draft)

Tsubaki a Danish-Japanese foreign exchange student majoring in Journalism recently moved to Japan to explore her love of mythology and cultural lore; so it was not a big surprise when she started writing for the local teens magazine called Tea Time run by it's sole Manager and Editer Yua Shimadzu right after graduation. It was a part time job that she did during her summer break.

As an upcoming author, she had gotten her own column writing about the legends of Japan and their origins by visiting different locations in Japan.

One night she had a strange dream.. about a faceless yokai who was about to steal and eat her soul- and as its spider like legs hung on it's sour smelling skin irritating web, it's curved fangs just about to strike...

An unlikely hero saved her..

Of course she did not believe it was real, and so agreed to the favor requested by her masked hero in payment for saving her life.

To be his bride.

She had seen many dramas about such things and had been convinced it was just a twisted match-up of a fantasy Korean drama she had recently watched and so agreed without a second thought. It was obviously all just a dream right?

Wrong.

Unknowingly she had made a legal deal with the Oni King and as she had been whisked away into the world beyond the Tori Gate.

Nothing was ever as it seemed, friends, enemies, faceless handmaiden..entities that could read a person's thoughts... she definitely was not in Kyoto anymore.

When the Oni King suddenly went missing, those who wanted to take his place soon made their presence known. As his only 'official' wife it was her duty to take over, and as rumors spread of her baring his 'heir apparent' his enemies wasted no time in making their move.

Now on the run, she is faced with a decision to make.. Go back to the human world or stay and fight..

Join Tsubaki and her newly found friends on their journey, filled with love friendship, and tragedy in Oni no Hanayomi; the Goblin's Bride!
