The first season ended on a cute but dramatic note, and season 2 takes off with the same mood. Fans can’t contain their excitement and are eager to see how the story unfolds, so much so that the anime might overshadow the upcoming release of romantic shows that this season has in store for us. 

My Happy Marriage Season 2 takes off on a great note 

From boosting the popularity of the manga and light novel to staying on top of every chart, My Happy Marriage quickly became a fan-favorite anime with its first season. Fans have been waiting for the second season for more than a year and it’s finally here. The second season begins with the introduction of Kiyoka’s family and their harsh treatment of Miyo.

While Kiyoka’s dad is an absolute sweetheart, his mom screams trouble. At the brunt of all the sweetness and judgment, there’s Miyo. The wholesome romantic developments between Kiyoka and Miyo remain the most engaging aspect of My Happy Marriage, and the episode delivered on that front as well. 

The romantic tension is brewing amidst the drama and difficulties. Fans can’t stop gushing over their favorite romantic duo and shared their excitement on X. 

"The next time you say anything to Miyo, I'll kill you." exactly that's what I'm talking about 🙂‍↕️ I love when a man stands up to defend his wife from disrespect even if it's from his own mother https://t.co/P8dIzKSfnL pic.twitter.com/XiSolBO8at

Peak romance is back 🙂‍↕️🙏🏻

The first episode was very good.✨

STOSTOPPPP IM BARELY MIDWAY THROUGH SEASON 1 OH MY GODDD

The excitement of fans tells that they’ll be eagerly waiting for every subsequent episode and tune in as soon as the new ones are released. With its premiere, My Happy Marriage anime seems all set to repeat the success of the first season. While that’s great news, the romantic shows coming up in a few days might suffer in the process. 

Honey Lemon Soda and The Apothecary Diaries got tough competition 

Honey Lemon Soda and The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 are scheduled for January 9th and January 10th releases respectively. The Apothecary Diaries was a sensation during its first season and enjoys a dedicated fanbase. Moreover, the narrative of the anime is thrilling, making it appealing to non-shojo fans as well.

So, there might be nothing to worry about as far as The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 is concerned. However, Honey Lemon Soda is a quintessential shojo series. The subject matter might not appeal to those outside of the shojo sphere. Although, it needs to be mentioned that the anime looks beautiful. Hopefully, it will get the attention it deserves, as we need more shojo adaptations. 

My Happy Marriage Season 2 is available to stream on Netflix.
