| As far as I remember, the author clearly sought to avoid any romance at all. But naturally, as is often the case in such situations, people immediately took it as "no straight romance" and began to throw the protagonists into gay and lesbian ships. Especially since this is one of those shows where people are obsessed with yuri fantasies between the female lead and female characters close to her. |

| It's rare...maybe. I don't actually feel like this is gonna matter, tho. Take a Show like Tokyo Revengers. It doesn't really matter whether MC is married to the Loveinterest or just has strong feelings for her. I doubt we'll get much Married-Couple scenes. I think the Trope stays the same. Married, dating or just beeing close. It's the "I need to save the one I love" -Thing. Not too unique, if you think about it^^ That's actually textbook Shonen. But it's good for the feels. True. |

| I seriously love it and their adorable relationship already. It's refreshing. Marriage is a journey, not the boring 'happily every after' haha. I haven't read the manga yet. Not a shounen but in the summer we'll be getting My Happy Marriage. There's also In This Corner of the World, which is sad, but the love between her and her husband during the war is beautiful. There's The Wind Rises, which is very sad but their marriage is also beautiful. For comedy, there's The Way of The House Husband. It's not that romantic but it shows how great they are together. The marriage in Wolf Children doesn't have a lot of screen time, but it's beautiful. |

| I mean it's refreshing because not many series have marriage, and their relationship is interesting. Many series just often end before the start of the marriage. I know it's not about marriage goodness haha. |

There is no need to make excuses that this show doesn't live up to your expectations of a stereotypical shonen show. Moreover, MAPPA promotes this anime as part of the dark fantasy trend in shonen manga.TWrecked said: Is HP even a shounen? I can't think of many shounen tropes in HP. MC is already the strongest in his village, he's not aiming for some great purpose like "pirate king" or "hokage", MC is an adult with a wife, no training arc, no "you are my rival" BS, there's a small amount of "The power of friendship" type thing but it's mostly subtext and certainly not a theme. It's certainly more adult than typical shounen with a lot of partial nudity and scenes of sex and the themes within it are a little deeper than your typical shounen fare. In terms of age, the MC is a shounen for sure. But I think the story is more seinen than shounen if you ask me. TWrecked said: Is HP even a shounen? I can't think of many shounen tropes in HP.

Floral_soap said: I just want to say that people exaggerate the depth of this theme in the plot too much. In fact, it's so subtle that up until the last panels, there was a popular theory in the manga fandom that he was brainwashed for the assignment and his wife doesn't exist lol.RobertBobert said: This series does not explore marriage the way you might think.

Floral_soap said: Well, I wouldn't call her a passive wife. His motivation is largely based on his love for her and there are many flashbacks with them in the manga. It just seems that the author had the same motivation as the authors of Hibike or Natsumi book, who considered the demonstration of platonic relationships more interesting than formal romance. The closest thing to "traditional" romance on this show is that the female lead has a aniki-like fangirl that you can interpret as a one-sided crush if you like.RobertBobert said: Wow lmao.I just want to say that people exaggerate the depth of this theme in the plot too much.

RE-_- said: Not in one season.

RE-_- said: No, I obviously wanted to say that the manga ended relatively long ago, so if they set a goal to adapt it in seasons 2-3 or more, they have the opportunity.RobertBobert said: Not in one season. But the original manga ended a couple of years ago, so it's not an impossible goal. So they will end those whole 13 volumes in 1 Season?? |

| Wife is just a MacGuffin. One and only attachment Gabimaru has in life, which motivates him to move forward. Though she is actually kinda wholesome. |

RE-_- said: What does "confirmed" mean? Can't you guess that they can't fit the entire manga into 13 episodes?RobertBobert said: No, I obviously wanted to say that the manga ended relatively long ago, so if they set a goal to adapt it in seasons 2-3 or more, they have the opportunity. I want to know confirmed information, not predictions bro!! |

raceraot said: In this case, by shonen (target audience) people understand fighting shonen, which is more or less a specific genre of manga for the aforementioned audience. Since most iconic shounen in the west are more or less teenage nakama-power, people are used to thinking generic shounen is teen fiction for boys and are therefore surprised that there is such a thing as dark fantasy in the genre at all. A lot of people don't even know that one of the first classic shounen was a franchise that by today's standards would be pretty heavy borderline hentai and horror.TWrecked said: Is HP even a shounen?

It's certainly more adult than typical shounen with a lot of partial nudity and scenes of sex and the themes within it are a little deeper than your typical shounen fare. I think you misunderstand what shounen means. Chainsaw man is shounen. Jujutsu kaisen is shounen. Attack on Titan is also shounen. It's only where it's published and where the target demographic is. Also, he has a goal he wants to achieve at any cost, which is to get to his wife, no matter how many bodies stand in his way. |

| It is so nice, and the wife seems really sweet thus far as well, hope it doesn't follow some weird twist of her not being so. So far this season we got this one and MY Home Hero with married MCs c: |
