June 22, 2026
It’s official. Satan’s Bride, the title you crowned in our Winter community poll, is going into production as a vertical anime. You asked for it louder than anything else, and we listened.
For anyone who hasn’t fallen for it yet: Rupia lives proudly as the daughter of a respected noble family, until an ancient oracle changes everything. She and hundreds of other women are offered up as brides to the nobility of the Underworld. When she meets Edith, the alluring demon king himself, she realizes her fate is to become his wife. With a magical secret to protect and an attitude of pure optimism, Rupia sets out to survive a world that should terrify her. The closer she grows to Edith, the more she wonders if being the demon king’s bride is really the nightmare she feared.
Adapted from the hit novel by Lee Donghee, Satan’s Bride is one of the biggest romance fantasy stories to ever come out of Korea. It has gathered more than 77 million views, a 9.9 out of 10 rating across 158,000 reviews, and over 100 million reads across Asia in comic form. We secured the animation rights directly from DCC Entertainment, one of Korea’s top enterainment powerhouses.
Now the most wanted romantasy on Shortcat becomes the one you get to watch. Production has started. You voted. We delivered.
