My Happy Marriage is based on a series of light novels by Akumi Agitogi. In 2018, Rito Kohasaka turned these novels into a manga series, and it was serialized regularly in Square Enix’s Gangan Online.

Following the manga's success, it was first announced in 2022 that the series would be made into an anime. Takehiro Kubota will be in charge of the series' direction, and Kinema Citrus, known for the anime Made in Abyss, will produce it. The series is already listed as an exclusive on Netflix.

Additionally, a live-action adaptation of the light novel was released on March 17, 2023. The live-action portion of the series received a lot of attention, and it was directed by Ayuko Tsukahara.

Here’s a brief synopsis of My Happy Marriage by MyAnimeList:

"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."

It further continues,

"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."
