The story was written by Etsuko Ikeda (池田悦子).

The cover of the Princess Comics Deluxe edition had the title translated as "The Bride of the Demon."  But the comic was partially translated into English as Bride of Deimos by ComicsOne (currently distributed by DrMaster Publications).  Elex Media translated the series into Indonesian as Pengantin Demos.

A Deimos no Hanayome artbook released in 2009 appears to contain art from both the original series and the Saishuu Shou* sequel, below.

There was also a Deimos no Hanayome animated video based on Orchid Suite (蘭の組曲), which appeared in v.14 of the original release.

Also see Deimos no Hanayome:  Saishuu Shou*, below.

Apparently a sequel to the famous Deimos no Hanayome series (see above), the story was again written by Etsuko Ikeda (池田悦子).  This series is also available electronically.

The Deimos no Hanayome artbook appears to contain art from both series.

Fusosha (扶桑社) has released several calendars featuring Ashibe’s artwork.
