Watakon, also known as My Happy Marriage, will release several new products using newly drawn illustrations based on “walking.” Watakon is a Japanese-style Cinderella story based on a novel by Akumi Aoki and illustrated by Tsukioka Tsukiho. It has been published since 2019 and has sold over 9 million copies as of September 2023.
As soon as the first season of the TV anime was broadcast from July to September 2023, the colorful and beautiful images, dramatic music, and realistic acting of the talented voice actors created a frenzy, and it was highly acclaimed in Japan and overseas. In the second season of the TV anime, which started in January 2025, Kinema Citrus will be producing the animation under the direction of Yudai Kubota, with the addition of director Masayuki Kojima, who will depict a more complex intertwining of human relationships and an intensifying battle of “supernatural powers.”
The conflict over the “thin blade blood” that flows through Miyo, a girl who has lost confidence due to being oppressed by her stepmothers, reaches a new stage, and her love with the lone elite soldier Kiyotaka is tested. This work will release several goods with newly drawn illustrations based on “walking” side by side. They will be sold in advance at the “TV Anime “My Happy Marriage” POP-UP STORE in Loft.” The goods will be available in the “Walk Watercolor Ver.” design, including “A3 Matte Poster”, “BIG Acrylic Keychain,” and “Multi Desk Mat.”
The acrylic stands are available in different sizes, with individual “BIG acrylic stands” for each person and “extra large acrylic stands” with the two of them lined up together. The trading items “Glitter Can Badges,” “Instant Camera Style Illustration Cards,” “Acrylic Stands,” “Postcards,” “Scene Glitter Can Badges,” and “Scene Instant Camera Style Illustration Cards” all come with a unique design bonus for the corresponding goods when purchased in boxes.
In addition, at the venue, one “bromide” will be given out randomly from a total of six types for every purchase of eligible products over 2,000 yen (tax included). Reservations for the goods will be accepted later on the EC site “AMNIBUS” and Animate. Please note that the bonus for purchasing a box at that time will be a different design. “TV Anime “My Happy Marriage” POP UP STORE in Loft” will be held at Ikebukuro Loft from February 15 to February 26. After that, it will be held at Umeda Loft from March 8 to March 23. For details, please visit the event’s unique website.
