New My Happy Marriage anime preview trailer confirms July 2023 release
A new preview trailer for the My Happy Marriage anime adaptation has confirmed that the series will release in July 2023.
The wonderful world of manga, Japanese light novels, and anime includes a wide variety of different stories; especially one revolving around romance.
Arguably one of the most highly-anticipated romance anime of 2023 is the upcoming My Happy Marriage adaptation, which is set to tug on heartstrings later this year.
Here is everything that fans need to know, as a new trailer for the My Happy Marriage anime confirms a July 2023 release window.
What is My Happy Marriage about?
My Happy Marriage is a fantasy romance story that was originally penned as a light novel series, written by Akumi Agitori and illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka.
Yen Press, which has been releasing the series in English, described My Happy Marriage:
“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.”
A live-action movie adaptation is scheduled to premiere in Japan in March 2023.

“As a fan, I can’t wait to see how this story will be depicted in the anime. I will do my best to show you the wonderful Miyo-chan who grows up together with her husband. I hope you will watch over her.” – Reina Ueda, via official website.
