Review of My Happy Marriage

Despite its attractive appearance, this anime doesn't offer anything particularly new within its genre. Characters are reduced to just a few defining traits. The main character, Miyo, fits the mold of a typical romance heroine: soft-spoken, morally upright, and solely focused on being with the male lead. The first half of the show was decent; I appreciated how it portrayed childhood trauma and its effects on Miyo. Her character and appearance gradually changed with shifts in the environment, which I found interesting. However, the romance felt rushed and lacked a solid foundation. The main characters hardly communicated, making the show feel empty. There were also issues withportraying Miyo as a flawless individual with unmatched strength (yes, they have powers, but these abilities aren't explained in any way beyond the fact that they just exist). As a result, she didn't feel human. Similar problems persisted with the main male lead, who initially seemed cold-hearted and unyielding but changed in later episodes with no reasoning behind it. Both characters felt like simplified versions of those seen in other romance anime.

While this show might be okay for casual viewing, offering little beyond visually pleasing scenes, I can't recommend it to anyone seeking something creative and/or new.
