My Happy Marriage [Season 2 Episode 13]

My Happy Marriage Season 2 Episode 13: A Bittersweet Farewell to Winter 2025

Winter 2025 has officially come to a close with the finale of My Happy Marriage Season 2, and what a ride it’s been. Episode 13, titled “The Sun Rises Again,” wraps up Miyo and Kiyoka’s journey—at least for now—with a mix of emotional highs, lingering questions, and a few frustrations that fans can’t seem to shake off.

The Long-Awaited Resolution

After weeks of delays (thanks, Netflix), the episode finally dropped, and the reactions are as mixed as Miyo’s feelings about her own powers. The finale picks up right where Episode 12 left off: Miyo confronting Arata about his betrayal, Kiyoka resigning from the military, and the lingering threat of the Usuba family’s legacy.

Fans were particularly divided over Arata’s redemption arc. Some called it rushed (“He literally betrayed them and got forgiven in one conversation?”), while others appreciated the nuance in his motivations (“His talk with Miyo in the hospital actually made sense”). Either way, it’s clear the writers wanted to tie up loose ends—even if it meant speed-running through some character arcs.

The Proposal That (Almost) Made Up for Everything

Let’s be real: the highlight of the episode was Kiyoka’s proposal. After two seasons of emotional turmoil, the man finally drops the L-word (and the M-word). “Miyo, you’re the most important part of my life. Please, would you like to marry me?” Cue the collective squealing from fans worldwide.

But here’s the catch: we still didn’t get to see the actual wedding. Some viewers felt cheated (“The show’s called My Happy Marriage, not My Happy Engagement!”), while others argued that the proposal was a perfect stopping point (“It’s about the journey, not the destination”). Either way, the chemistry between Miyo and Kiyoka remains undeniable, and their growth as individuals—and as a couple—has been one of the strongest aspects of the series.

The Fantasy vs. Romance Debate

One recurring theme in fan discussions is whether the supernatural elements enhanced or detracted from the story. Season 1 leaned heavily into the romance and Miyo’s personal struggles, while Season 2 cranked up the magic and political intrigue. Some fans loved the shift (“The Usuba lore was fascinating!”), while others missed the simplicity of the first season (“I just wanted more fluff, less spirit battles”).

The finale tried to strike a balance by resolving the fantasy plotlines (Miyo rejecting her powers, Kiyoka leaving the military) while keeping the focus on the couple’s emotional journey. Whether it succeeded depends on who you ask.

The Netflix Jail Dilemma

Ah, yes—the delays. Netflix’s decision to push back the finale by a week left fans fuming (“Just release it already!”). Some even resorted to watching the raw, unsubbed version out of sheer impatience. The silver lining? The episode was worth the wait for most, with stunning animation (that white kimono scene!) and a satisfying, if safe, conclusion.

What’s Next?

The post-credits announcement of a new project has fans buzzing. Is it an OVA covering the wedding? A third season? Side stories? No one knows for sure, but the hype is real. After two seasons of emotional rollercoasters, Miyo and Kiyoka deserve their happy ending—preferably with fewer delays next time.

Final Verdict: A Solid, If Flawed, Send-Off

My Happy Marriage Season 2 wasn’t perfect. The pacing wobbled, some resolutions felt rushed, and yes, we still haven’t seen the actual marriage. But at its core, this series has always been about Miyo finding her worth and Kiyoka learning to love openly—and on that front, the finale delivered beautifully.

For fans who stuck through the delays and drama, Episode 13 was a heartfelt goodbye to Winter 2025. Now, bring on the wedding OVA!

Rating: 8/10 (Great character moments, but the fantasy plot could’ve used more breathing room.)
