Review of My Happy Marriage

„Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon" presents a story with promising elements, accompanied by impressive graphics and animation. At first glance, the aesthetic elements contribute to an engaging visual experience, setting the stage for a potentially enjoyable narrative. However, the story takes a frustrating turn with the main lead character. Her portrayal is notably frustrating – weak, indecisive, and seemingly incapable of asserting herself beyond a repetitive ‘danna-sama.’ The character’s low self-esteem becomes a pervasive element that can, unfortunately, detract from the overall engagement with the storyline. One can’t help but question the appeal of such characters in the market, and whether perpetuating this archetype truly alignswith what viewers are seeking.

In the end, "Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon" becomes more of a test of endurance than an enjoyable story. The excessive suffering caused by the main lead's lack of agency and confidence overshadows any potential enjoyment from the narrative. The imbalance between the promising storyline and the frustrating portrayal of the main character ultimately detracts from the overall viewing experience.

With a heavy heart, I’m rating it a 5, as the captivating elements are overshadowed by the character dynamics, making it a less-than-pleasant watch.
