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

Preliminary (7/13 eps)

This season is definitely lacking compared to the first. At this point, the title is misleading. There is neither happiness nor marriage in this season either. :|
And it's even more grim than before with the constant danger and scheming.

Before anything else, this is like the SLOWEST BURN in terms of *everything*.

We're halfway through the season, and Miyo is STILL yet to get a good character development. She is still the typical "good anime girl" who stutters and whines and accepts all the humiliation from everyone, and to be very honest, the places where she "stood up for herself" was really weak to be considered as ... a stand up or progress. It's almost like everyone is trying to keep Miyo happy for some odd reason, especially when they constantly praise her for those literal no effort retorts of her.

I am so sick of *almost every new side character* taking turns in bullying her, only to come to realization that she is the Buddha reincarnation (jk) and she is actually such a nice girl and they suck as a person so they are oh so sorry for being a d*ck prior.

When will she ever grow up as a character? It's great that she doesn't change overnight but c'mon, 2nd season is about to end. :|

Their romance is lovely but it progresses in SUCH a slow manner that they are still yet to learn the first thing about each other. On the 7th ep, Kiyoka asked what she thinks of him and I expected her to finally have *something* to say and confess her feelings but, nope. She still stuttered, made whiny noises and let him go.
They feel so disconnected at times that they feel like two strangers. And it's not good, because -again- this is the 2nd season, you would expect them to be much closer now.

Most of us watch this anime for its romance aspect, and given the whole aesthetic of the anime, that's what you expect. (?)
When there is fluff, it's sweet, but we're literally in 2nd season and they are nowhere near getting married or close enough to each other or had a serious romantic scene other than the two kisses.

I started watching this anime thinking we'll concentrate on their love (given the name, premise, and visuals), and there will be historical drama alongside, only for it to turn out exactly the opposite, romance feels optional at this point lol.

On the bright side, visuals are so lovely, everything looks so pretty and animations are good enough. It's already not a life-changing anime but I believe they could have done better this season. I sometimes genuinely speed up the military talks, because it gets really boring. I am not giving many details to not spoil but all the side characters we met were also pretty dull.

Will update this review, when the anime ends.

Not Recommended

uhmmm lets say season 1 has more on words than action while season 2 has more action than words, which is great for me honestly cause season 1 was putting me to sleep, dialoging about same problem all over again its gotten annoying like god move on already!,

season 2 is gotten better its like they widen their story not just about them anymore, then the plot was really there though all of the plot was carrying by a third party person which is also has his own story, theres also character development in miyo shes gotten a bit bolder now compare to before, now ... you might think i like the anime because what i said?

no its not i didn't say the anime is great cause thinking overall the anime is just upgrading from boring to becoming generic thats all AND-

i was flabbergasted on how they handle their ending, they just skip a scene where its all about the title of the anime??? wtheck.

overall anime average but not to recommend either
