I-it hurts… and I’m not sure I’ll be good at it… -5 Yes, I’m sure. Because it’s you, Ibuki-chan. I mean… sfx- Creak —07 -1 ### 7.62mm ammo is a much better minimum for monster hunting -2 I mean.. I am your bride, after all. —08 -1 “Childhood friend”. For Ninomiya Ibuki from the Imperial Army Special Tactics and Countermeasures Unit, I might be more than that, and I might also be less than that… -2 Ao… -4 Shhink sfx- Quiver Ah… —09 -1 Nn… As long as Ibuki-chan can live on… that… is… -2 Ah… —11 -1 Several Years Prior Wheeze Huff Muff -2 Huff Haa Huff Wheeze -3 Haaah Ngulp Kah Huff -4 Thwack -5 Wha-bam -6 Krick —12 -1 Rooooooar Boom -3 I’m so dead… -4 Stoooop! —13 -1 Whooosh -5 I got separated from my parents in the mountains and was about to get eaten by a werwolf when a girl, about my same age, leapt to my rescue. I was frozen in place by fear, unable to take a single step. And as she continued to hold me, I lost consciousness. —14 -1 When I came to my senses, the werwolf was lying in the road, it’s throat slit, breathing no more. Maybe the Imperial Army Special Tactics and Countermeasures Unit came to my aid, maybe someone else. Both the girl and I were very young, so we don’t really know what happened. Amidst all my fading memories, the one thing I will absolutely never forget is the feel of her reaching out her tiny little hand to me with all of her might. —16 -1 Present Day. Year 118 of the new era. ### This doesn’t really say new era. It says the Meiji era, but the Kanji are different from the Meiji era of the pre-war days. This one had the rough meaning of Inscribed Rule/Reign. I don’t think it worth keeping in the story. sfx- Boing Boing -2 sfx- Sniff Sniff No doubt about it. At 12 o’clock, straight ahead, I can feel that there’s a werwolf. It should be ok to just wait it out here… Now, all Ibuki-chan has to do is finish it off. I’m around here Ibuki-chan’s over here. —17 -1 sfx- Rustle Snap Crack Good, good… Just keep going forward… -2 sfx- Rustle ###This keeps going into panel 3 sfx- Crack Snap -3 sfx- Shhf ###upper right -4 Huh…?

But no matter how much you cover up your weak spot… sfx- Klang —19 -1 Snap It’s not going to help you! -2 Fwoosh -3 sfx- Chik -4 Flumph —21 -1 Hmph. You fool. —22 -1 Whoop oop oop sfx- Wah! Are you ok, Ibuki-chan?! -2 sfx- Blush I… just used too much of my power… -3 Well, you had to! That was a huge werwolf! sfx- Glint -4 Don’t you give me that. You have to put in some fight too, partner! hw- And that was the 2nd one for today! sfx- Flick Owie! -5 That hurt… but… But the pain shows me you love me. -6 Grr, Keep the weird stuff out of it! Or I’ll feed you too the werwolves! Nyaa?! sfx- Yoink -7 C’mon, Ao… you’re always poking fun at me. Well… how about we head home? Hell yeah! -8 The Imperial Army Special Tactics and Countermeasures Unit. —23 -1 Our duty is protect people from the supernatural monsters we call werwolves that would eat them up. sfx- Roar Since werwolves are incredibly strong, normal weapons are not effective against them. O They will wound them X They will not finish them off -2 That’s where the Imperial Army Special Tactics and Countermeasures Unit comes in. Or, as we are popularly called: Stray Dog Carnage. We are the gallant ones that take over the scene! Ibuuuki-chan, you’re so coool! -3 It’s customary for two people to form one team. sfx- A pair! One of them will have a special talent. They will have a “gift”… Depending on the kind of supernatural talent they become a weapon against the werwolves and can defeat them. hw- I’m done for! Realistically, only those with special talents can think of opposing werwolves. And those who possess those powers are… —24 -1 Tokyo Metropolis Imperial Army. ###again, they are using different kanji to write ‘tokyo’ but I don’t think it needs to be messed with -2 Imperial Army Barracks -3 Room 202 Nonomiya Ibuki Sasakura Ao -4 sfx- Whumph Ugh… I used to much power… I feel like dying… —25 -4 Ibuki-chan… -5 I… -6 Ibuki-chan… Hey… you’ll wrinkle your uniform if you sleep like that. -7 Come on! At least take your coat off? Ibuki-chan! Guuuh… I. Bu. Ki. Chaan! hw- Once she’s out, she’s out -8 Nn… whaaa? —26 -2 sfx- Th-thump So close! -3 A… Ao…! That startled me! What’s the matter? N-nothing. I’m going to take your coat off… okay? sfx- Creak Ah… yeah… sfs- My coat, right?! —27 -4 Um… hey… Ibuki-chan… sfx- Clench -5 C’mon! don’t read too much into this! You’re making me all embarrassed! sfx- Blush sfx- Wah S-sorry! sfx- Blush -6 Ibuki-chan, you’re so good at knocking off werwolves, and you’re soo cool, so why does this bother you so much?!

Because it hurts you… I’m fine with it. -2 I mean.. I am your bride, after all. -3 Because I’m just Ibuki-chan’s meal. That’s why. —33 -2 Ibuki-chan is a kind of vampire called a “Vampdoll”. -3 So her meal consists of human blood. When she drinks blood, she regains her ability to uses her powers. So that’s why this act is simply a meal. -4 Have some? Yeah… -5 Creak —34 -1 Th-thump Th-thump -2 Thump -3 Ibuki… chan… I know that, and yet why does -6 Lick -7 Shhnk -8 Nn…! sfx- Jolt My heart… -9 Nn… …nn! sfx- Quiver —35 -1 Pound this way? ###Because you’re a half naked lesbian, that’s why …Nn ..nn -2 Is… Is it good? -3 Mm… Yeah.

Ibuki-chan… Huff -2 For that very purpose young Vampdolls are gathered here. Vampdolls are all born as normal girls. But as they grow older, fangs and other signs begin to appear, and they become unable to live amongst normal human beings. So the army takes them in. And then they battle as Stray Dog Carnage. -3 Hahh And girls taken in to provide them with food are called their Brides. Each Vampdoll has a Bride assigned to them. So… Hahh Aahh Ah I know I’m simply a meal for you, Ibuki-chan… but… —39 -1 I never want you to apologize. sfx- Sluuurp Aaaaaugh sfx- Shudder —40 -1 Low blood pressure… -2 She’s passed out. I am… -3 A Vampdoll. I wasn’t born as someone “normal”. I have to drink someone’s blood to survive. But that’s exactly why Ao is the one person I will always, always, protect at all costs. Even if I have to put everything on the line. -4 I will always protect you. I’m sorry, Ao… —42 -1 Room 202 Ninomiya Sasakura -2 Room 201 Hanafusa Setsuna Shiratou Sana -3 ###same as -2 Sana… Mm… Senpai… sfx- Creak Ah… Mm… I said no… Mm… -4 sfx- Quiver Ahhn -5 Heh Heh You’re just so cute. sfx- Sigh sfx- Th-thump I can’t… anymore… You drank a lot… right?

We have plenty of time until tomorrow’s sunset. Arrrgh! —44 -1 Vampdoll Also called vampires. People are born this way once in about ten thousand cases. Up through adolescence, they are generally the same as normal humans. However when secondary sexual characteristics start appearing, their powers and the thirst for blood starts developing. Because of the development of their powers, and the blood thirst, they are isolated from humans and taken away by the army to became werwolf hunters. For girls without a future such as these, this is the only road open to them. Their weak points are their head and hearts. -2 Brides They are provisions that support the Vampdolls. -3 Werwolves Also called wolf people. One is born in the general population in every 200-300,000 cases. Up through adolescence, they are generally the same as normal humans. However, when secondary sexual characteristics start to develop, their powers and hunting instinct starts to develop. They eat humans. Once they have changed into werwolves, they cannot reverse the change. If you are bitten, you are infected with a transmissible virus similar to rabies, and lose cognition. After one day, the infected person perishes. There is no cure for being bitten. They are vulnerable to fire and their weak point is their neck. ###This bleeds into the next page for one line —45 -1 The Imperial Army Special Tactics and Countermeasures Unit Formed to combat werwolves. Popularly called the Stray Dog Carnage. It’s the duty of vampires to join. They are provided with food (Brides) who serve as their partners. Many of them lose their lives in battle, so most of them are young. —46 -1 Thank you so much for picking up this manga! My name is Takano Saku. I’m addicted to yuri and only draw yuri manga. It’s a curse! But I love yuri! I mean, young girls are just so cute, right? When young girls get it on with young girls, it’s just the best! I mean, hot girls are hot, right? And cool girls rule! All girls are just soo amazing! (Ok, I just worked myself into a fit) And so, this is my original yuri doujin. My concept was to pack it full of Vampires X Brides X yuri! I won’t stray from my path! It’s that kind of obsessed manga (Like all my others…). So! I’d be ever so happy if you enjoyed it. The characters are all the kinds that I always love. The black hair/blonde hair couples, are just sooooo…! It’s fine. It’s a doujinshi. I can make the characters I love! For this edition, Sakuta Futoshi created the title logo for me. I had asked him to design the cover for the first edition, but to prevent confusion when the revised edition was published, he went above and beyond to change the logo and layout. Mr. Sakata, thank you so much! While the story hasn’t changed from the first edition, after evaluation, I changed some of the language referring to vampires for the digital edition. Thank you for your understanding. And so, this is a doujinshi brimming with the themes I wanted. I’d be happy if you enjoyed it. I plan to continue this one shot into a series. And who were those two who appeared in the final pages? Anyway, see you! Takano Saku A Bride Who Get Married To A Vampire Published: November 11, 2020. Republished: June 6th, 2021.
