Bride of Deimos Manga Returns

In the February issue of Akita Shoten's shojo magazine Mystery Bonita, an announcement was made regarding the return of the shojo manga Bride of Deimos.

Written by Etsuko Ikeda and illustrated by Yuuho Ashibe, Bride of Deimos, which began in 1975, is one of Akita Shoten's most popular shojo manga and one of Akita Shoten's four longest-running series, with 17 tankoubons and 12 bunko-sized books (pocket/novel-sized re-packagings of the tankoubon) released to date. In the last volume of the bunko-sized book, the author wrote a note which many fans interpreted as an announcement of the series' end, so most people thought Bride of Deimos was over.

Bride of Deimos is about the story of Deimos, a former god who became a demon as a punishment of his relationship with his sister. Now he must choose between his sister, a goddess whose corpse is rotting at the bottom of the ocean, and the living human incarnation of his sister.

According to the announcement, the manga will return with all new artworks, with the characters looking more gorgeous than ever.
