My Happy Marriage, Vol. 1 by Akumi Agitogi

---

This light novel is so cute! What a joy to read! It has a writing style very familiar to other Japanese light novels, which I find to my liking. The story is about Miyo - born into an abusive family; she finds herself forced into marriage to Kiyoka, who is famous for being powerful and feared by others. 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 love our main characters and their character development, especially Miyo's. I like that she slowly found her voice and her self-worth. Her family is really the worse, and I genuinely appreciate how Kiyoka is astute enough to understand Miyo and her personality. I appreciate how this story progresses and how our main characters become each other's support. This is an endearing story I think its target audience will appreciate.

I'm looking forward to the manga version soon coming out!
