Review of My Happy Marriage
I wasn't sure what I was in for when I started watching this. It has a bit of a Fruits Basket vibe, especially in some of the darker moments. Miyo is a treasure! She went through so much and deserves to be happy! I appreciate the depth the writer brought to each character. It really made a kind of small world feel so warm and real. On top of that, the artwork is stunning! I caught myself taking it all in during some of the much-needed moments of reflection. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for some drama and romance! Not to compareit again to Fruits Basket, but FB is one of my favs, and I feel that the art style, themes, and characters could all fit comfortably in that same world. I saw someone else in the reviews say it's just another Cinderella clone. There is a step-sister, an evil stepmother, and an unwanted child who gets out to find happiness, but there are also demon-like "Grotest" fights, power users, political struggles and bloodline disputes. The "Prince" is a much deeper character than just a "Price Charming" and it's incredible to watch the growth between the two. Are there some similarities? Sure, absolutely, but this interpretation is just so much more.
It's like Cinderella with Demon Slayer aspects and the depth of Inception. Something like that. I really loved it, and recommend it!
Can't wait for Season 2! :)
