Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon 2nd Season

Following the awakening of her Dream-Sight ability, Miyo Saimori reunites with her fiancé, Kiyoka Kudou, the captain of the special forces protecting the country against ill-intended individuals gifted with exceptional powers. However, the couple's blissful life is suddenly interrupted when Takaihito, the top contender for the imperial throne, sends Kiyoka on a dangerous mission.

Traveling with Miyo to the remote household of his parents, Kiyoka must investigate unusual reports of demons in the region. Meanwhile, Miyo tries to gain the approbation of her callous mother-in-law, Fuyu, who refuses to recognize her as a family member.

After Kiyoka repels an attack by the Gifted Communion, a subversive sect of special abilities wielders, he returns to the capital alongside his fiancée. As the looming threat against the imperial authority intensifies, Kiyoka must thwart the Gifted Communion's plans to protect Miyo and everyone he holds dear.

For me, My Happy Marriage Season 2 is an improvement over the first in virtually every way. The story was more entertaining, higher stakes, more world-building/ supernatural ability lore and Miyo and Kiyoka took the next step in their relationship. So it comes as a surprise to me to see so many other people feeling the opposite! Yes, season 1’s family abuse drama was good, but I think Miyo confronting her mother’s past and coming into her own in this season made it hit a lot harder. Anyone who liked the first season really should go into this with an open mind and enjoy it!

The ... whole appeal of Watakon is seeing a victim of emotional and physical abuse overcome it thanks to the love and support of a great partner, so when we see Miyo smiling and enjoying life with Kiyoka in this season it feels very much earned after everything she endured last season. But of course it’s never that easy is it? There’s plenty of new challenges awaiting her in this second season and it felt like a natural progression of things from season 1, both narratively and from a character development standpoint. We dealt with the dad’s dirty laundry, now it’s time for Miyo’s mom’s. Usui as a villain was very intimidating and forced Miyo to grow up even more. Last season was all about Kiyoka coming to save Miyo, this time around it’s her doing the saving in the end. She’s no longer a damsel in distress and that was big for me. I completely understood Miyo needing to be rescued in the first season, but that would’ve got repetitive if that’s all we saw. She’s got one of the most broken special abilities and just lacked the proper understanding and confidence to use it, seeing that change was so fun. Miyo smiling and becoming much more assertive in this season was awesome too. Survivors of domestic abuse often struggle to open up with other people and this show depicted that gradual trust building process so well. It makes every scene of Miyo smiling and joking with Kiyoka mean so much more.

Miyo’s character growth was for sure the best part of the season for me, but I also really enjoyed seeing this world open up so to speak. We got hints about wider conspiracies and political jockeying in season 1, but this season really sees that stuff start to get going. For some people that was a negative as they just liked the Miyo and Kiyoka stuff, but to me that’s the second best part of the show. Like don’t get me wrong, I love seeing our leads being cute with one another, but if that’s all this series were about it would get very dull. You need moments of adversity and tension to make those peaceful moments feel earned and appreciated. A little kidnapping or plot to overthrow the government is what brings couples closer! Just seeing how Miyo and Kiyoka always have each other’s back and can place supreme confidence in one another to save each other is so sweet. Doesn’t matter what you throw at this couple, that bond is unshakeable!

The show looks gorgeous just like s1, but my one complaint is probably that the animation at times was not as good as season 1. I remember distinctly being blown away by Kiyoka v Arata in the first season, whereas there’s nothing that did that this time around even though this season had way more emphasis on action. It didn’t look bad, just not as good as season 1. That’s a minor thing though. The character designs are still beautiful and the show is very well directed!

If you’re actually into this series for the story and world, you’ll like this season a lot. If you’re here purely for the cute slice of life romance parts of the show.. you’ll probably think it’s worse than season 1. I really recommend just going into this with an open mind and consider what the show has been building up to since the first few episodes, keep in mind how Miyo has changed and how everything that happens in this season enables her to do so. If you do, you’ll come out of this one feeling very satisfied.

My Happy Marriage Season 2 gets a very easy 9 out of 10.

Mixed Feelings

My main gripe is with the storyline itself, like really, what the hell was that? It took until ep. 9 before the plot properly picked up, which is such a shame considering how well they built the tension and everything in the first season.

It's also disappointing how rushed that ending was. I haven't really read the source material but it seems like they just wanted it to be done as soon as possible? A lot of things could've been explored further but nooooooo. They decided to drag the first 8 episodes for some reason and compress the things I was curious about in the last ... episode.

If being a doormat was a sport, Miyo would be the Michael Jordan of it...

I wanted this to be good so bad, but instead the second season of this anime has me punching pillows and writing a negative review on a Sunday afternoon.

As far as I can remember, the first season was beautiful and had good pacing. It gave us a solid understanding of the different characters. The second season feels like a bad fanfiction written by a teenage author who went head first into exam season and hit us with the "sorry this is rushed. I failed all my classes. But here's ... the new chapter xoxo"

What's posotive about this season and the anime overall is it's art. I'll give you that.

However... setting Miyo up against yet another final boss of evil mother makes no sense. Especially since we barely see any character development from her side.
It's frustrating to watch her break her back to win over that woman and both her fiance, as well as his father, doing absoltely nothing about it. Aside from empty threats and sly comments, of course.

If we ignore the very questionable character interactions and focus on the plot and pacing, then that's even worse. The plot doesn't really pick up until later. We get edged with a handful of scenes, but the pacing is entirely messed up. Which leads to a disgustingly rushed ending.

If this had Apothecary Diaries pacing and better character development/interactions I'd be defending this anime with my life. But alas.
