Actually, this manga was published in 2022. While My Happy Marriage (manga) was published in 2018
I'm aware, however many romance manga are based off of light novels or were just never published in English, so I've seen a few getting updated finally because they either finally got an English release or finally got a manga serialisation adaptation of the LN and then get updated here and shit on even tho they came out before or around the same time, therefore it's simply that My Happy Marriage was popular and more renowned, now almost all the comments on these types of stories with somewhat similar premises (even if they have completely different personalities and art-styles) get shit on for being "My Happy Marriage clones" even tho majority of them aren't.
- That's all ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Similar or not, I still read them. But knowing about My Happy Marriage 1st, anything similar to that, popular or not, would always feel similar as the 1st we read/watch. If I read this one 1st, it would be the other way around. Still I like My Happy Marriage more. Even though I love stories with animal spirits. I feel this one somehow lacking. I find the FL of MHM better.
There are lots of LN about Isekai to Beast World so similar yet different. But those too I would automatically compare to the 1st one that I read. But in that case, I like the next version that I read (unfortunately it got dropped).
So in my case it's not really the one that is more popular , rather which 1 I encountered 1st ヾ(☆▽☆) I still read every version.
┗( T﹏T )┛the pain of a manga getting dropped is real
A lot were dropped lately ╥﹏╥
It's not like My Happy Marriage did it first or anything, however these two look so similar to The My Happy Marriage fl and ml that this is a lil Sus.
(Also different point however it is kinda a bit sad how manga with this concept have come out for ages and now that every other one is getting translated finally because My Happy Marriage was so popular, now every single manga with this premise gets compared to My Happy Marriage and called a copy or clone, I'm sure the mangaka wouldn't think that way for most of them, however that said after the popularity of My Happy Marriage there were indeed some sorta clones in a way slightly similar to this wherein the mangakas would design the main characters just like the ones from My Happy Marriage, the ones that don't tho I don't rly have an issue, it's just the same concept, and they usually have something else personality-wise to differentiate between them (=・ω・=)
