The My Happy Marriage anime has received a special visual to mark the Tanabata festival, which falls on July 7.
Separately, it was announced that the show will have an OVA that will be released as part of a special bundle version of the light novel series’ upcoming eighth volume (which is planned for a March 2024 release).
My Happy Marriage premiered on July 5 and is streamed by Netflix. The KADOKAWA-published light novel series that inspired it, written by Akumi Agitogi and illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka, began publication in January 2019. The seventh volume will be released on July 14, 2023.
Yen Press describes the books as:
IS THIS MARRIAGE A BLESSING? OR A CURSE?
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.
