An anime adaptation has been announced for the light novel series Bride of the Barrier Master (Kekkaishi no Ichirinka).
For centuries, five ancient clans have safeguarded the world with barrier magic, a mystical force designed to keep supernatural threats at bay. At the center of the story is Hana, an eighteen‑year‑old born into a lesser branch of one such clan. She has spent her life overshadowed by her twin sister—gifted, admired, and seemingly destined for greatness—while Hana has preferred to remain in the background.
But Hana carries a secret. A powerful ability stirs within her, one she desperately tries to conceal in order to maintain her quiet, ordinary life. Everything changes when Saku Ichinomiya rises as the new head of the prestigious Ichinomiya clan. Determined to find a bride strong enough to stand at his side, he begins his search, disrupting Hana’s carefully maintained anonymity.
Caught between her desire for a peaceful existence and her clan’s expectations, Hana faces a difficult choice. Should she continue to hide her strength, or consider a fateful marriage contract?
