In exciting news for fans of Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon (My Happy Marriage ), a new anime project has been officially announced! The announcement came hot on the heels of the second season’s thrilling finale, which aired its 13th and final episode this past Wednesday. To celebrate, the official website unveiled a stunning commemorative visual (pictured below) along with an announcement promo that’s sure to leave fans buzzing with anticipation.
Produced by the talented team at Kinema Citrus, the second season of My Happy Marriage has been a visual and narrative masterpiece, adapting Akumi Agitogi’s beloved historical fantasy novel. The season premiered on January 6 and captivated audiences worldwide with its intricate storytelling and breathtaking animation. As expected, Netflix streamed the series globally, offering subtitles to ensure fans from all corners of the globe could enjoy this romantic saga.
For those who may not be familiar, My Happy Marriage tells the story of Miyo Saimori, a young woman burdened by societal scorn and familial neglect, who finds herself thrust into an arranged marriage with Kiyoka Kudou, a stoic military officer with mysterious powers. What starts as a seemingly loveless union gradually blossoms into a tender and heartfelt romance, set against the backdrop of a richly detailed historical fantasy world.
The first season debuted in Summer 2023, consisting of 12 episodes that beautifully set the stage for the series’ emotional depth and intricate plotlines. Earlier this year, fans were treated to an original anime episode bundled with the eighth light novel volume, further expanding the universe of Watakon . With the second season now concluded, it seems the story is far from over.
A Legacy of Success
Akumi Agitogi originally began penning My Happy Marriage , affectionately known as Watakon among fans, on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website back in 2018. Its popularity quickly skyrocketed, leading Kadokawa to pick it up for publication under its Fujimi L Bunko imprint in January 2019. Illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka, the light novels have since become a massive success, with over 9 million copies in circulation as of the ninth volume’s release on March 14, 2024.
The series’ appeal extends beyond its novels, as Rito Kousaka’s manga adaptation has also garnered widespread acclaim. Serialized on Square Enix’s Gangan Online web magazine since December 2018, the manga reached its fifth volume in July 2024. Both the light novels and manga are licensed in English by Yen Press and Square Enix, respectively, making them accessible to international audiences.
What’s Next?
While details about the newly announced anime remain scarce, fans are already speculating whether it will continue the story from where the second season left off or explore entirely new arcs. Given the source material’s depth and the franchise’s track record, there’s no doubt that the upcoming project will deliver another unforgettable experience.
For now, fans can revisit the existing seasons on Netflix or dive into the light novels and manga to immerse themselves further in the world of Watakon . Stay tuned to AnimeKayo for more updates as they come in, and don’t forget to follow the official channels below for breaking news:
