Takarazuka Revue’s celebrated all-female theater company will bring Akumi Agitogi and Tsukiho Tsukioka’s My Happy Marriage light novels to the stage, with Flower Troupe performances in Hyōgo and Tokyo.
The Flower Troupe’s production of My Happy Marriage (Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon) will run at the Takarazuka Grand Theater in Hyōgo from June 26 to August 8, followed by the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater in Tokyo from August 28 to October 10.

The television anime’s first season debuted in July 2023 with 12 episodes, and Netflix began streaming it worldwide that same month. The eighth novel volume, released in March 2024, included the original anime “Shiawase no Katachi” (The Shape of Happiness) on Blu-ray Disc. The OVA subsequently received a simultaneous worldwide streaming release on Netflix and other services in November 2024, timed to Japan’s “Good Couples Day.”
The second season launched in January 2025 on Tokyo MX, BS11, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, TV Aichi, and AT-X. Netflix and other services began streaming it alongside its television premiere.
An anime special aired on TV Tokyo and other stations on October 25 at 7:00 p.m. JST. Streaming followed on Netflix and other services at 8:30 p.m. JST that day. All three episodes premiered on the same date.
Agitogi and Tsukioka launched the light novel series in January 2019. Yen Press licensed the novels. Its story description introduces Miyo, a young woman born into a noble family and raised by an abusive stepmother. She is married off to Kiyoka, a soldier whose heartless reputation drove his previous fiancées away within three days of their engagements. With nowhere to return, Miyo gradually opens her heart to her cold, pale husband-to-be after a difficult first encounter, finding a possible chance at true love and happiness.
Rito Kohsaka’s manga adaptation debuted in December 2018 on Square Enix’s Gangan Online website. Square Enix Manga & Books publishes the manga in English in print and digital editions.
A live-action film based on the novels opened in Japan in March 2023. It topped the box office in its opening weekend, selling 479,700 tickets and earning 654 million yen (about US$4.97 million) during its first three days.
