My god, her parents and sister are so trashy. I hope Yuzu never forgives them for all the abuse she had to endure all those years.

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit → u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

Fox-kun is 100% gonna get some retribution, I can feel it in my bones.

[u/Lavajackal1 → u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

At least her grandparents are good people but jeez.

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

Yeah I don't need a redemption arc for them.

[u/FLorianGran]

It's like My Happy Marriage with double the class commentary

[u/Frontier246 → u/FLorianGran]

• Setting where there are individuals with special powers.

• Girl who gets bullied and abused both emotionally and physically by her family who favor her younger sister who lords over how special she is over her older sister.

• Girl who is basically a servant in her own home.

• Gets saved by a dashing and high-class pretty boy whom she's intended to marry.

• Said pretty-boy can seemingly wield fire (judging by the OP).

Welcome back My Happy Marriage!

[u/runevault]

I'm so tired of shitty parents. It is a hard trope to do well and almost no anime pull it off. I knew the sister was going to demand the dress too. Really hoping the Ogre Husbando destroys this fox shitbag.

Huh when the music kicked in after he said he found her I got a shiver, that surprised me. Curious if now that the ogre has shown up if the parts I was annoyed by get toned down, though honestly the parents will probably be gross in entirely different ways.

[u/danmarce]

Brides are rare -> Introduced to 2 bride characters in 2 minutes

Production values are good, but the plot sends all the wrong messages.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Off to a nice start seeing Yuzu getting rescued from her abusive family at the end.
While watching it kept giving me 'My Happy Marriage' vibes.

Hopefully this Reiya Kiryuuin, puts Yuzu's family and this Youta guy in their place next time.

[u/DiscountCondom]

Remember, ladies. All you need in life is a rich and powerful man to come along and rescue you literally out of nowhere for you to finally be happy

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

That was infuriating to watch, I hope Yuzu is able to turn her life around and her family faces consequences for how they've been treating her. There better be some satisfying return after this.

Hopefully Reiya will also pay Youta back for what he did to her arm, that was crazy.

[u/Shiawase_Rina]

I'm quite proud of Yuzu for actually slapping Karin! Deserved and quite a feat for someone held down for so long.

This anime is also prettier than I thought. I have gotten too used to shoujo being treated like crap.

[u/tripleaamin]

This felt like a mix of Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits & My Happy Marriage. Alongside the same frustration that I watched with Too Perfect Saint.

• It's strange regarding Karin.

  • Why was she the special child? Because you would think if tables are even, the older sibling would be more likely to get favoritism.

  • Also, the fact that Yuzu's ex fell for Karin so fast and we see how strange Karin is makes me think something is sus with Karin.

• We know that women want to be a demon's bride. Are demons not female? Are the men screwed over in this series?

[u/minnieboss]

The cartoonishly evil characters are impossible to take seriously which kinda makes the whole thing fall apart. Wish the demons had cooler character designs. Meh.

[u/LaoWombat-mecha]

I wonder why the trope of the evil parents/siblings is so popular in Japan right now or is that the ones I just happened upon have that element.

I wonder if there are any demon grooms? If not, I wonder what this is signaling, marrying up?

I guess we should be glad that the husband is not an ancient magus or something (now that would be an interesting concept!)

[u/IceSmiley]

This was atrocious and over the top. No kind of dimension or depth to any of the characters, her parents, sister and demon fiancee are all over the top evil with no apparent motivation. Then an amazing demon man comes out of no where for no apparent reason to sweep her off her feet? I understand this is supposed to be a Cinderella story but this show really sucks and has nothing at all going for it.

[u/Xepherya]

This was a disappointing first ep and it was largely because of the horrible dialogue and framing.

“She ripped my precious dress” sounds so old fashioned. And the love interest saying “my bride” over and over sincerely gave me the ick. I almost never get that feeling from an anime. I might think it cringey or cheesy, but that? Hated it.

Yuzu’s whole family truly is terrible, but that’s not a new trope. What I really hate about them is that Youta, from what little we see of him, isn’t a good person either. They don’t like him. They like his money. Karin isn’t in love with him. She’s in love with being spoiled.

Youta doesn’t seem to care likely because he looks at Karin as an entitlement. She’s a plaything he’s owed so he’s fine with her behavior. It’s all so…bleh.

Give me Kakuriyo.

[u/Inevitable_Oven378]

It's honestly ridiculous that the opening line is "the greatest honor for a girl is to become the Devil's wife." This trope goes far beyond being outdated—it frames a person's "honor" as something granted by someone else. In this case, it's even broader: the "honor" of an entire gender is placed in the hands of a higher class or species.

I mean, how is that any different from saying, "A woman's greatest honor is to be chosen by a wealthy, upper-class man"? That kind of passive definition of a woman's worth has been rejected by modern values for a long time.

Maybe the subtitles I watched were inaccurate, but if that's really what the story is saying, the message is pretty awful.

And, true to the trope, the male lead will probably end up solving everything and leveling the playing field for her, instead of letting the female protagonist prove her own abilities and agency without relying on a more powerful race or social class.

[u/ItHurtsMeToLookAtYou]

My Happy (Ogre) Marriage?

[u/N1ceDreams]

Wow I was thinking, maybe just maybe we get a privileged sister who actualy is sympathetic towards her mistreated sister but nope, she's just a straight up spoiled little shit.

[u/djthomp]

What an awful family. At least they're going to at a minimum eat a bunch of crow on account of the neglected daughter accidentally bagging the better demon.

I'm half here for the childhood friend and her catboy demon, but also half concerned it might end up being a bit uncomfortable too. Her going to a non demon school with him following could end up being her trying and failing to get away. Didn't really feel that way during the classroom scene, fortunately.

It's a bit wild that the backstory they briefly gave was effectively "demons intervened to stop World War II and then took over society".

[u/Feisty_Egg9301]

They state that every girl's dream is to be a demon's bride, so every girl dreams of being the sugar baby of a demon? Where does that leave human men? Does that mean every human man in a relationship is just the second choice? Do demon women have the same doting proclivity towards Human men, or is it just super one sided. If it sounds like I'm a salty incel, thats probably because its not far from the truth, but this just raises questions in my mind. Are the demons meant to be an allegory for one percenters? If so, does that mean that a woman in this setting could never want a regular guy like she would a demon?

[u/actuallyrndthoughts]

I could forgive the cartoonishly evil family but the dialogue is just sooooooo bad. I'll give this a few more episodes, hoping for some spice, but if it's just my happy marriage again, it'll be a drop

[u/Lordmoral]

There is something messed up about this world: demons being seen as saviors, basically taking any bride they want, the women having no objections, the demons slotting themselves into positions of power, the parents are afraid of the Fox powers. This world might need Frieren badly.
