Bones President Explained Why the Studio Undertook the Adaptation of "Marriage Toxin"
The second season of the manga adaptation by screenwriter Jou Myaku and artist Mizuki Yoda is still scheduled for the winter 2027 season.
Bones President and producer Masahiko Minami explained why the studio decided to adapt the manga “Marriage Toxin.” At a meeting during Otakon 2026, he highlighted the work's unusual approach to action and memorable characters. Minami was particularly interested in how the relationships between the characters take the story beyond a typical action series and give the studio more room to experiment with animation:
“We could try a fresh form of expression, different from typical action series. But the main appeal of this story is its characters.”
Ryotaro Okiayu, who voiced the Teacher and served as narrator, also participated in the discussion. According to him, behind the serious premise lies a comedic story that combines many genres:
“There's humor, battles, and cute scenes here. I think the series can appeal to viewers of all generations.”
“Marriage Toxin” tells the story of Hikaru Gero, the heir to an influential clan of poison masters. His family demands that he marry and continue the lineage, threatening to transfer this duty to his sister otherwise. To protect her, Hikaru seeks help from marriage swindler Mei Kinosaki and sets off in search of a suitable bride.
The first season consisted of 13 episodes and covered the Water, Sound, and Beast Masters story arcs. The second season of “Marriage Toxin” will begin airing in January 2027.
