The first season of My Happy Marriage premiered on July 5, 2023, and an OVA was released recently in November 2024.
The anime is based on the light novel series written by Akumi Agitogi and illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka, which was first published under the Fujimi L Bunko label on January 15, 2019 and has released eight volumes as of March 2024. A manga drawn by Rito Kosaka was released in December 2018, as well as a live-action film adaptation in March 2023.
Yen Press releases the light novels and manga adaptation in English, describing the main synopsis of the series as:
Born talentless to a noble family famous for their supernatural abilities, Miyo Saimori is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate — and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. As they slowly open their hearts to each other, both realize the other may be their chance at finding true love and happiness.
