My Happy Marriage Volume 2 comes to the West thanks to Yen Press and has changed hands from Kiki Piatkowska to David Musto for the translation. Because between dealing with a mother-in-law and a secret society, Miyo and Kiyoka have their hands full. Born talentless to a noble family famous for her supernatural abilities, Miyo Saimori is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. Meanwhile, at the Tatsuishi residence, Kouji tries to reassure Kaya that they can rebuild the Saimori family but she shrugs him off.

It’s a bit ironic since although the two have quickly realized how important they are to each other, they’re not nearly as quick on the uptake that their feelings are romantic.As a victim of abuse, her character made sense and I had to clench my fists and remind myself that this is normal and that I shouldn't be frustrated AT her, but FOR her.

Another complaint I have is the severe lack of PUNISHMENT Miyo's family received by the end of the book. To be honest, my expectations were a little low, mostly because I was used to reading poorly-translated versions of the novels. Kiyoka's past potential brides were depicted as being overly spoiled, but considering the way Kiyoka first acted towards Miyo when he met her, I thought his past potential brides probably had a point.

Thinking of herself as doomed to a life of misery, she tried to keep to herself and stay quiet but was surprised to find Kiyoka to be a kind, fair, and honest person she could depend on.

I hope to see more of Miyo’s growing powers, Dream-Sight gift, since it’s supposed to be even more powerful than the royal family’s Divine Revelation.Statüsüne ters orantılı kaldığı evi yadırgayan, davranışlarını eleştirip her fırsatta sinir krizi geçiren, sığ ve düşüncesiz insanlardan bıkmış durumda. Miyo wondered if Kiyoka’s father would be disappointed and angry when he discovered he hadn’t gotten his son the woman he’d bargained for. Early last year I reviewed the first volume of the My Happy Marriage light novel series and that first book became one of my favourite reads of 2022. The feelings of the cast are well articulated and it’s easy to understand Miyo’s thought process here, it’s realistic of someone who was brought up in her situation.
