Serafina de Lavillant has trained her whole life to become the perfect knight. After being made knight captain of the first order she goes on an expedition to subdue the barbarians who live to the east of the kingdom of Illdoren. While she is in battle, she gets overpowered by a man and is taken captive. She wakes up and is greeted by a young woman named Cersei who helps make her presentable. Then the man who bested Serafina in battle comes in and proposes to her. While Serfina is hesitant to accept right away, will seeing the barbarians way of life change her mind and heart?
The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King was really good. It felt different from a lot of romance anime that take place in fantasy settings. I feel like a lot of fantasy romance follow the same formula of the girl getting dumped by a prince and then she finds a better man who treats her right. I actually enjoy that type of romance, so its not a big deal if its repeated for me. However, it was nice to see a romance that doesn't follow the usual formula and is more about getting to know each other while finding out what happiness means for yourself, rather than getting married for politcal reasons, which is how the formula anime usual go. It did have a lot more nudity than I was expecting. While the anime is censored to a degree, it was a little too much for me. There were a lot of bathing in rivers or hot spring scenes, which i don't believe all needed to be there. If lewd scenes here and there don't bother you I think The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King is worth giving a try.
