This is a very high quality production with lovely art design, fine animation, and excellent English voice acting. It was made for Netflix. The title is somewhat misleading because her marriage will be in the future after a one year engagement and will not happen in season one of the series.
The initial setup is Cinderella-like with the eldest daughter Miyo raised as an abused servant by her step-mother and step sister. Miyo's father views her as worthless because she shows no magical ability. To get rid of of Miyo, she is sent to be the fiance of an icy noble, Kiyoko. Miyo is expected to be rejected and become homeless.
Miyo is emotionally crushed and considers herself to be worthless and quietly accepts the cruel abuse. The power of the story is Miyo's gradual journey toward self-worth and her desire to find happiness in spite of her upbringing.
Miyo works hard with a humble determination to prove her worth, to both herself and to others. There will be challenges, threats, and surprises ahead as the story evolves in its own unique way.
There are 4 volumes of novels translated to English and #5 comes out October 2023. I highly recommend both the anime and the novels.

This show was a blast from start to end. The animation was beautiful as well as the characters are all good the only characters that I don't like are Miyos mother and her sister they were super cruel and (mostly her sister) psychotic. I felt super happy when Miyo over came her past and was able to move on and be happy I also really liked Lord Kudo he was serious yet kind and caring in the inside which was nice. Also it was crazy when the show was about two characters in a complex relationship then turned to deep lore about the characters (mostly miyo though. I absolutely recommend this show you will definitely like it.
I'm so happy we got a anime for my happy marriage the story and plot is amazing and we can't forget the animation is wonderful.
The plot is so well done it even made me cry a couple of times because you get so attached to the characters it hurts seeing them hurt.
It's such a breath of fresh air that a anime doesn't have fan service in it or the fan service runs the whole show. Fan service makes me uncomfortable so I end up having to drop the series.
I'm hoping we get a second season of my happy marriage, and I hope we end up getting more shoujo/Josei animes in the future!
I really hope we get some official merch and figures as well that be amazing.

This is my very first anime and I have to admit that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. What intrigued me first was the title and then the story from watching the trailer. It had a Cinderella kind of story and I love Cinderella, so I thought I would give it a chance. I have only watched three episodes and I am loving it soo much that I can't wait for next week's episode. I wish I could binge watch the whole series, that's how much I love it. I kind of wish this anime could be a series with real people, but then I don't know if the storyline or the characters could be captured so beautifully as in the anime. I can't wait to finish seeing it!
A GREAT romance anime is somewhat rare and this is one of those rare instances. This was a touching story with strong protagonists, heartfelt moments and a brilliant character arc.
This is one of the stories where, after watching the finale, you can't help but remember how the characters were at the beginning and how far along they've come. The story is a journey, especially for the character of Miyo. We all experience this journey with her. That connection with the characters made this anime very satisfying.
I love Miyo's character arc. If you see the 1st episode, her character setup isn't exactly unique. It's something we see in many shoujo anime, and it's similar to Cinderella's back story. But if you keep that aside and just think about her character, it's a very complex character to progress. That's why I'm so impressed, because this anime did it almost perfectly. I never felt that Miyo was acting out of character, I could always sympathize with her actions, and still I can feel how far her character has come after the finale.
I also really cared for Kudo's character. That's another strong point for this anime - the fact that I cared for BOTH these characters. That's what makes a great romance - when a viewer is invested in BOTH the characters, can understand BOTH their perspectives, and that's why they want them to be together so much.
This story also had a surprise factor to it - the supernatural world building. I know fans are saying it's unnecessary and I thought of it as a flaw initially too. But when I thought about it, every situation that this supernatural part of the story created, eventually made me root for our protagonists' marriage, which is what the story is about.
The story does get repetitive at times in the middle though, when every family is coming after Miyo.
The animation might be the best this season (at least out of non-sequels). The soundtrack from Evan Call (composer of Violet Evergarden) wasn't that notable in the 1st watch, but I might catch it in a re-watch.
Overall, this was a great anime and a great romance. It's on Netflix worldwide.
