| For what it's worth, the anime "I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying" is pretty damn funny. It's a short anime (3minute episodes, 2 seasons) but it's about a married couple. Would highly recommend that one. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| A lot of the time, isn't married life in Japan the man working all fucking night and the woman doing nothing? That doesn't sound very exciting. |

 |
| I think it's because the majority of people who read manga and watch anime in Japan are kids. There are obviously genres that cater to adults but the main demographic to appeal to is still the kids in school. |

| Married life is not the eat-all-you-can-cake-buffet that harem series are. |

| It has to do with NEET expectations. NEETs love "untouched" characters and marriage would be weird for them and actually showing be it strong romantic actions or sexual situations can cause a huge outrage (think "Omg muh waifu got defiled! She a slut now!"). IT is especially prevalent when talking about Yuri - you will NEVER see a lesbian couple marry because NEETs and majority of japan's society prefers to view lgbt relationships as "experimentation before growing up and birthing babies". Thus most of romances are set in highschool and you will never see an actual progress. Even in MAL, if you have any sort of sexual scene or implication, you will see posters slut-shaming the characters involved or be disappointed that relationship is not more "innocent". |

| Is there some specific reason why it needs to? Being "unexplored" is not good enough of a reason. There aren't too many anime wildlife documentaries, but what "void" would you be filling like that? |
| married life traps you. It's better to see an alternate reality where harem, adventure, drama and eechi are all possible |

| they are plenty, but rarely get adaptation due the content. read manga. the real masterrace. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Well the biggest reason is probably the fact that most anime characters are either still in junior high or high school making them not old enough to marry. And at that age they don't think about things like marriage yet. Personally i would like to see more anime with characters in their 20's or 30's but it's questionable if that's every gonna happen. There is also the target audience of anime marriage might be something for Seinen or Josei anime but i don't it's such a good idea for shounen or shoujo anime. That being said there are some good manga about marriage. |
| Particularly with anime it just doesn't sell, not a big enough demographic. There is plenty of manga that deal with that topic, but a lot of the times it wont even get translated due to no real demand for it. |
| Marriage sucks for most Japanese and some men can't even keep their money despite the wife working. Dream marriages like in Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken or the real life marriage of Hideaki and Moyoco Anno are super rare. |

| Cuz most otaku aren't married. True and painful fact. |

OneTrueEmiya said: Cuz most otaku aren't married. True and painful fact. Bullshit. |
| I suppose authors find it boring to go that far into a relationship, so plenty of shoujo, for example, treats marriage as the final step, and the story usually ends there. The rest is history for them, I suppose. Risara said: Most mangakas don't have experience that's why I imagine they also haven't experience being a ninja or shinigami...

Is it even legal in Japan? But even so, the 'even if we can't get married' thing does happen a lot in yuri manga. |

Is it even legal in Japan? But even so, the 'even if we can't get married' thing does happen a lot in yuri manga. Marriage I think yes(even then the first official marriage happened this year). But the usual marriage laws that protect you from abuse and other things do not extend to LGBT couples(pretty much no laws extend to LGBT couples), also in some places being in LGBT relationship automatically bans you from donating blood, donating organs or adopting children. Also prepare for serious bullying and harassment from both your neighbours, co-workers and friends, because lgbt people are viewed as some sort of lecherous predator to the old values and country-progress-oriented culture. And if you are working in media or creative jobs, prepare to get fired on technicality and not getting a job ever again. In short: if you are "gay" till adulthood, then you are just a "straight who experiments". IF you are gay and actually engage in longterm relationships, then you are simply something that does not exist to majority of society. And in terms of entertainment and narrative fiction market, good luck selling or even getting to print anything "cute ambiguously gay schoolgirls experimenting in innocent relationship". Yuri Kuma Arashi was pretty much metaphorical representation of Japan's view upon LGBT relationships, to the point that midway through Ikuhara had to pretend it has nothing to do with that, in order to avoid harassment from angry neets. This is a good overview of the problems: https://www.outrightinternational.org/content/un-urges-end-discrimination-against-lgbt-individuals-japan “Japanese lesbians and transgender individuals have reported sexual harassment by male co-workers, which is directly linked to social norms about how women and men ‘should’ behave,” “The discriminatory language of rape and sexual harassment laws, and the discriminatory implementation of the domestic violence law denies LBT people safety, access to redress, and remedies for the violence they experience,” - Same sex couples in Japan are excluded from public housing. - Japan’s Prevention of Spousal Violence law is applicable to unmarried heterosexual couples but courts are unwilling to apply it to same sex couples. - Japanese gender recognition law mandates that transgender people who undergo sex reassignment surgery (SRS) and wish to marry must find new partners of the opposite sex and not remain with their partners prior to surgery. - Male to female transgender individuals are required to be sterilized in order to apply for SRS, thus taking away their right to human dignity and bodily autonomy. |

| Most demographic of anime are targeted towards young people. No matter how you look at it, marriage is a heavy subject. If you ever wanted to see marriage, it's probably likely shown in Josei manga/anime. Besides, in real life not all couples get married just because they are madly in love. |

CookingPriest said: Marriage I think yes(even then the first official marriage happened this year). I see, if it's a fairly recent thing, it is not that surprising if you don't see it much; that's what I was trying to say. I am aware of how conservative Japanese society is, I was making no defense of it. Still. there were some things I didn't know there. |

| Marriage manga the best. Fu-Fu and Legally married Yuri couple by Itou Hachi best mango. |

| because anime and manga being in a setting outside of a school with teenagers is forbideen |
| But,but Futari Ecchi! It taught us that if all of a sudden you cant get a erection you might as well divorce your wife... |

Yet incest is more acceptable to otaku as a subject than married people, capable women or gays. |

| Who the fuck wants to get married? Jesus, talk about a death sentence for men. CookingPriest said: Anime covers a lot of topics that are forbidden. Yet incest is more acceptable to otaku as a subject than married people, capable women or gays. Oh god...oh noes...please stop right there.... |

CookingPriest said: Anime covers a lot of topics that are forbidden. Yet incest is more acceptable to otaku as a subject than married people, capable women or gays. There's some truth to that, but considering that there, for example, doujin of anime I assume you'd say are 'otaku anime' with the, say, yuri content fans would like the show to have; so at least to some of this otaku not are fine gay, but would like their fav anime to have more. And it's not like all fans are what you'd call and otaku, so not the entire industry is controlled by what they consider acceptable. So, perhaps a big part of it is mecharobot said: Is there some specific reason why it needs to? Being "unexplored" is not good enough of a reason. There aren't too many anime wildlife documentaries, but what "void" would you be filling like that? simple lack of interest. The same way that I can't imagine an anime adaptation of Planet Earth being very successful. WrongPriest said: Marriage manga the best. Fu-Fu and Legally married Yuri couple by Itou Hachi best mango.

jucheck said: i'm quite bias i prefer seinen than josei. Heavy subject in what way? Watch Otona Joshi no Anime Time, especially episodes 1, 2, and 4. Yes, it's josei, and yes, you should watch it if you need to ask why marriage can be a "heavy subject." |
