A Bride's Story Gets New Volume From New Publisher Yukiwarisou
The move answers a question left open since Mori's work ended at Aokishi: where the manga would continue, and now it is a new publisher printing it at a bigger size rather than a magazine run.

Kaoru Mori's A Bride's Story will continue in a new volume titled Otoyome-Gatari Zoku no 1, due in winter from publisher Yukiwarisou. The volume holds three chapters across about 80 pages at a larger A4 size, and the chapters will not run in a magazine first. Mori plans at least a 16th volume once enough chapters exist, with Kadokawa handling digital publication from that volume onward.
The announcement came alongside the third volume of Mori's Shirley, which is also the first new Shirley volume in 12 years. Yukiwarisou publishes that book too, and Shirley's first and second volumes will get new editions matching the third volume's style under the Shirley Medison title. Mori's earlier Victorian maid manga Emma has a planned collector's edition as well.
A Bride's Story began in 2008 in Kadokawa's Fellows!, later Harta, and moved to Aokishi when that magazine launched. The 24th A and B issues of Aokishi in February 2025 announced a renewal that dropped Mori and Aki Irie from the magazine. Yen Press releases the manga in English; the 15th volume shipped in Japan in November 2024.
