My Happy Marriage, the swoon-worthy shojo anime that stole hearts when it hit Netflix screens in July 2023, quickly became the talk of the town. With its enchanting animation, endearing characters, and fairy tale romance reminiscent of Cinderella, it’s no wonder fans were left yearning for more.
Adapted from Akumi Agitogi’s beloved light novel series, which boasts eight volumes as of March 2024, the anime faithful are clamoring to know: will they witness the blossoming love story of the soft-spoken Miyo and the enigmatic Kiyoka continue to unfold?
Set in an alternate reality version of the Taisho period, My Happy Marriage follows the journey of Miyo Saimori, a young woman born without any supernatural abilities, condemned to servitude by her cruel stepmother. When she’s thrust into an arranged marriage with Kiyoka Kudou, rumored to be as icy as they come, Miyo’s world turns upside down. Yet, as the story progresses, it becomes evident that there’s more to Kiyoka than meets the eye.
But the burning question on everyone’s lips: will there be a My Happy Marriage Season 2?
While fans eagerly await news of a follow-up, the animation powerhouse behind My Happy Marriage, Kinema Citrus, has indeed confirmed a second season. However, the airwaves remain silent on when this continuation will grace our screens.
Fear not, for a glimmer of hope shines bright on the horizon! A special OVA episode, “Shiawase no Katachi” (“The Shape of Happiness”), accompanied the special edition release of the light novel’s eighth volume in Japan on March 15, 2024. Though its international debut remains elusive, this bonus episode promises a tantalizing taste of what’s to come.
So, until Season 2 graces us with its presence, fans can cling to the hope that love will conquer all in the enchanting world of My Happy Marriage.
