Synopsis
Miyo Saimori was the unfortunate child of a loveless, arranged marriage. After her mother died, her father brought in his lover and her own daughter, Kaya. From then on, Miyo's life was reduced to that of a mere servant. Even worse, while Kaya inherited the family's psychic abilities, Miyo had none—she was truly the daughter with no merit.

After years of being treated like dirt, Miyo has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Kiyoka Kudou, a military captain rumored to be so cruel that he has driven away every one of his potential wives so far.

From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that's the future that awaits Miyo—or so she thinks. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind-hearted. What really awaits Miyo is a blissful, everlasting marriage full of happiness! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I'm sooo happy that the art of the manga has translated fantastically to the anime. It looks really pretty.
This will be an amazing shoujo if the production quality is solid (which I think it is).

Hell yes this manga is superb so I'm happy to see that Kinema Citrus is in charge. I wish they would have adapted the character designs more closely to the LN/manga art but I still think this looks good from what we've seen so far in the PV.

That explains the somewhat familiar sounding music. Great.

I'm really excited for this since I loved the light novel, but I wish they stayed more true to the original art style since the fl looks like a completely different person in the anime. I am quite please with the voice acting though, since it's very similar to what I imagined Miyo sounding like.

Nah. Firstly, this is set in a different time, so 19 would probably have been old to get married back then. Secondly, even if it was set in the modern day, I think a working guy dating a college girl isn't nearly as egregious as dating a high schooler. I'm generally not a fan of age gaps, but I never understand why they insist on a man close to 30 dating a 16yo schoolgirl when they could just have made her 19/20 and things become significantly less morally questionable.

She's not underage so that in itself should be enough to drive off the idiots who'd try to talk shit about it

This was such a pleasant and unexpected surprise to have woken up to on the 6th of April!!!!

I had actually wanted this to get an anime adaptation so i'm really happy about it!!!

Also, unlike another certain female targeted villainess adaptation this one actually looks really good judging by the PV, kudos to the staff & studio for actually putting the necessary care and attention in it, well, at least for the art/animation part so far.

I think i manifested this and the Tongari Boushi no Atelier adaptation since i had added them in a list called: Manga/Light Novels that i would like to get an anime adaptation, and, both got adaptations announced at the same time!!!

I'm generally not a fan of age gaps, but I never understand why they insist on a man close to 30 dating a 16yo schoolgirl when they could just have made her 19/20 and things become significantly less morally questionable.


Hahah I love this I think.... and it's just a thought, the author probably tries to imitate customs from the time period they base their writing from. It's possible that men were of marrying age much later than women, I suppose this is why many cultures still say women mature faster than men and certain scientific developments have shown that is true in some physicalities. I mean this was common in the states as well marrying at like 13, im not the biggest fan of age gaps either like Violet and Gilbert, I mean it was 14 yrs but now you see 20 age gaps and as you get older it doesn't seem too crazy, I just wouldn't like the idea that someone I love if I live long enough will definitely die before me. Also teens date for some reason their naïveté is socially accepted like a 16 yr old with a 15 or something, but put a 17 year old with a 21 year old dude and oh no, I think in certain ways due to maturity that age gap is better we're unrealistic to think that two people who love each other will wait till adulthood to start dating. Some may but those shoes don't necessarily fit everyyone.

Personally in this story I don't have any problems with it, he didn't raise her as such is the case in Violet Evergarden plus she's 19. So it's not morally gray at all my parents have a 5 yr gap, and I'm sure my grandparents have a 10 yr gap, 8 is cake haha, this is pretty natural/normal. But I do feel the story is predictable, the trope is overused but still entertaining, so I'm excited to watch this as well.

This show takes place in times where arranged marriage was commonplace, thus age gap as well.
I don't expect Twitterians to understand it tho.

Just for the score alone I would watch this, watched the trailer and the music made me feel like I was watching Violet Evergarden. Looked it up and turns out it's the same composer; Evan Call.
