My Happy Marriage Manga is Returning After an 8-Month Hiatus

Fans of My Happy Marriage can finally celebrate its return! After an eight-month hiatus, the manga adaptation of Akumi Agitogi and Tsukiho Tsukioka's beloved light novel is back. Square Enix’s Gangan Online published a brand-new chapter on Monday, officially marking the manga’s return.

The manga had taken a break in April, as its creator, Rito Kohsaka, focused on compiling its book volume. This delay left fans eagerly waiting, but now the story continues, ready to sweep us back into its unique blend of romance, family drama, and supernatural intrigue.

My Happy Marriage Overview

For those who haven’t read it yet, My Happy Marriage is a slow-burn romance with a historical and paranormal twist, set in Japan’s Meiji era. It follows Miyo Saimori, a girl who’s been treated poorly her entire life. She’s mistreated by her family, considered worthless because she lacks the special powers her bloodline is known for. Eventually, Miyo is sent off to become a potential bride for Kyoka Kudo, the heir of the mysterious Kudo clan.

But here’s the twist: while her family casts her aside, Kyoka isn’t what rumors make him out to be. The supposedly cold and cruel man might actually offer Miyo something she’s never had—kindness. The story beautifully unravels her journey of finding self-worth, love, and healing.

The manga has been running since 2018 and is published by Square Enix Manga & Books in both physical and digital formats. The series has grown immensely popular, inspiring not just a manga but also an anime and even a live-action film.

Speaking of adaptations, the anime’s first season, which premiered in July 2023, was a big hit. It’s available on Netflix, and fans won’t have to wait too long for more—Season 2 premieres on January 6, 2024. Meanwhile, the live-action film also made waves, topping Japan’s box office during its opening weekend in March 2023.

With its touching storyline and stunning visuals across all formats, it’s no wonder My Happy Marriage has captured hearts worldwide. Now that the manga is back, it’s the perfect time for fans to dive back in—or for newcomers to experience this emotional rollercoaster for the first time!
