Want to know more about how a series like the My Happy Marriage anime is made? Kadokawa came through with an English-subtitled look at the making of the anime, which adapts the manga written by Akumi Agitogi and illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka. Watch as Takehiro Kubota (director), Chihiro Takahashi (layout and key animator) and Mai Iwata (in-between animator) offer insight into the process below.
The My Happy Marriage anime is directed by Takehiro Kubota and produced at Kinema Citrus. Yen Press publishes the source material in English and describes it like so:
IS THIS MARRIAGE A BLESSING? OR A CURSE?
Born talentless to a noble family famous for their supernatural abilities, Miyo Saimori is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. As they slowly open their hearts to each other, both realize the other may be their chance at finding true love and happiness.
