Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon
|
A young girl in historical Japan is abused and neglected by her family until she's ultimately married away to be discarded. The marriage is supposedly to a cold, miserable, but wealthy man. It is not meant to bring love, but only a natural escalation to her mistreatment. But the timid girl eventually sees that beyond his cold exterior, her husband might not be so bad after all, and might just bring her happiness beyond her wildest dreams. My Happy Marriage has an additional plot of supernatural abilities and political machinations, while Taisho Otome is more of a relaxed slice of life. Both have the same general flavor and even similar character archetypes for both main and side characters. But because they are tonally so different, they do feel like different viewing experiences. But if you enjoy one, you'll almost certainly enjoy the other.

Both shows are comedies that seem potentially trashy or problematic on the surface, but quickly prove to be wholesome LGBT slice of life shows focused on found family and personal growth. While both do have aspects that deserve a more scrutinizing lens, both are largely net positives with much to offer. Dragon Maid is one of the best soft lesbian shows of its type, and Onimai is a surprisingly genuine exploration of gender transition and healing damaged relationships.

Created by the same writer, ABP and FMP Fumoffu are both expertly written situational comedies with a wide cast of likeable and memorable characters. Both focus on a duo of a stoic lead with deadly abilities and a smart high school lead as they solve and create absurd dilemmas. The trio is rounded off with a clumsy moe princess character in both series as well.
