Review of My Happy Marriage
"My Happy Marriage" is one of the greatest gifts this summer season has given us. It's not all about romance or the emotional challenges the characters may face, but it also incorporates supernatural elements, mystery, and even action. While romances typically follow lighter themes, this one delivers an exceptional performance in addressing delicate subjects."My Happy Marriage" portrays and embraces the imperfections of its characters, especially those of Miyo. What I like most about this story is that, even though from the moment she reunites with Kiyoka, it could have completely ignored Miyo's past and portrayed her as a changed person since she already had herfuture husband's approval, it doesn't hesitate to remind the audience of the impact abuse can have on the victim and that it takes a considerable amount of time to heal. Physical wounds heal at some point, but emotional ones can leave much more painful scars capable of lasting over time.
Its animation, led by Kinema Citrus (Barakamon, Made in Abyss...), is a true marvel, and its soundtrack, composed by Evan Call (Violet Evergarden, Josee, The Tiger and the Fish...), is equally outstanding. I highly encourage you to give it a chance!
