Happy Marriage!? is a romantic comedy series produced by Amazon Studios, encompassing the entertaining life of a young woman named Chiwa Takanashi. The story revolves around Chiwa who is an average working-class girl, who leads a relatively mundane life until she runs into her boss at a bar where she gets too drunk to remember that she kissed him.

Chiwa Takanashi is a cheerful and energetic woman who is dedicated to her job at a large real estate company. She has always struggled to make ends meet and is continually dedicating all of her time and energy to her job to keep the paychecks coming in. However, her life changes drastically when she finds out that her salary will be reduced due to the company's restructuring process. In a desperate attempt to keep her income, she agrees to a proposal from her boss, Hokuto Mamiya, to marry him for five years. Hokuto Mamiya is the CEO of the company who has always led a subtle life away from the limelight.

At first, Chiwa cannot believe that Hokuto's marriage proposal is genuine, but as she follows Hokuto's instructions and moves into his complex, she realizes that their marriage is legitimate. Soon after, they begin to rekindle their romance and learn more about each other. As they spend more time together, they discover more about one another, and their bond deepens.

Throughout the series, the couple faces various trials and tribulations, which test their relationship strength. Both Chiwa and Hokuto are forced to deal with their past, which has a significant impact on their present, and they must confront the difficulties they have been hiding from one another.

Chiwa must come to terms with her fear of abandonment, which stems from her childhood experiences, while Hokuto must confront his emotional disconnect from his family. The show highlights the way in which love can heal emotional wounds, but how it also needs delicate nurturing and patience.

One of the defining characteristics of Happy Marriage!? is the development of the main characters. Both Chiwa and Hokuto are thoroughly developed, and their storylines are gratifying to watch. The narrative provides equal depth to both characters, as we discover their motivations and feelings through their actions and their interactions with those around them. It's a gradual and intimate journey into their lives, and the cast of secondary characters often contribute to their development as well.

The supporting characters in Happy Marriage!? provide comic relief and iconic moments from time to time. Reima, Chiwa's coworker, and childhood friend provide moments of levity, and Hokuto's stepmother adds a touch of complexity to Hokuto's character's storyline. The cast of characters job goes beyond the comedic relief as each character adds to the overall story, often being instrumental in giving them a deeper meaning and significance.

There are also some fantastic scenic shots to look forward to as the story takes place in both the busy city lifestyle of Tokyo and the tranquil countryside of Japan. The scenery provides an intimate connection to the characters' journey, signifying the phases of their growing romance.

The animation is skillful and has an impressive color palette. The characters' attention to detail and animation is so refined that even the subtlest of movements are captured beautifully on-screen. The transitions between each scene are seamless, and the way the camera movement is handled during different dialogue sequences is impeccable.

The music is fittingly romantic, and the voice actors are subtle in their deliveries that does not distract you from the main plot but rather, will leave some viewers hooked from the first 10 minutes.

Overall, Happy Marriage!? is an outstanding romantic comedy series that takes on the weighty topics of fear, love, and commitment. The show is a delight to watch, thanks to its lively and relatable cast backed with amusing scenarios. Its animation, music and voice actors add a layer of charm to the overall experience that enhances the story's sensationalism.
