Netflix fans go wild for ‘5/5’ anime drama: ‘It is one of the best shows you will ever watch’
Netflix viewers are raving about an anime drama, calling it “incredible” and “beautiful.”
The animation, directed by Takehiro Kuboto, tells the story of Miyo Saimori (Reina Ueda) – the eldest daughter of a noble family.
Although Miyo is privileged, her home life is far from smooth, as her stepmother and half-sister both treat her poorly.
The young girl begins to doubt whether she will ever be able to escape her cruel life at home, but unbeknownst to her, not everyone bears her the same ill will.
Her chance to escape the clutches of her cruel stepmother ultimately comes in the form of a marriage proposal.

But when the infamous Kiyoka Kudou (Kaito Ishikawa) offers to take her hand in marriage, she has little hope that her life will get better.
Their road to marriage isn’t an easy one, as her half-sister Kaya (Lizzie Freeman) tries to thwart her wedding before it even begins.
Her stepmother also makes a slew of threats in an attempt to hinder Miyo’s future.
The hopeless daughter ultimately thinks she will end up dead on the street, just as her parents wanted.
However little she knows, her engagement will reveal aspects of her being she didn’t know before – and better yet, she will learn to love not only her husband-to-be, but herself as well.
Netflix fans are fascinated by the gripping series, with some describing it as a ‘five out of five’.
One wrote: ‘My happy marriage on Netflix and here’s my verdict so far: 5/5 the trope is a bit cliche but it’s written just right!!!
“This was made just for us as affirming girls.”

A second confirmed: ‘Just had the pleasure of watching the anime My Happy Marriage on Netflix and when I say this is one of the best shows you will ever watch I mean it from my heart!’
“It’s surprisingly comfortable, highly recommended,” joked another.
“Netflix shot My Happy Marriage, which is a high quality romantic anime – drama and betrayal – like it ticks all my boxes,” said a fourth.
“I love the show, my happy marriage, you don’t even understand it, it’s so good, I love it,” one fan exclaimed.
‘It’s the best ever: the drama is the balance between reality and fantasy and romance at the same time. It is beautiful. It’s perfect.’
“Not my soul shattering into a million pieces at almost 4am because I decided to watch the anime My Happy Marriage on Netflix,” another shared.
One viewer said: “The only criticism of My Happy Marriage is that a few parts felt rushed, but overall it’s an incredible story.”
