History HappilyMarried / AnimeAndManga

%%%* In ''Manga/YumeMiruTaiyou'', the last chapter is about [[spoiler: Shimana and Taiga's wedding.]]

* When Katarina Claes reincarnated as a noble in ''LightNovel/DestructionFlagOtome'', her parents had a slightly strained relationship due to a misunderstanding about their arranged marriage. It is further complicated when her father adopted a distant relative because his heir and daughter was engaged to royalty and thus couldn't inherit the family name. But thanks to Katarina being more rambunctious than she was supposed to be, she causes a small incident that clears up both their concerns about having forced their partner into the marriage and duchess Claes' misunderstanding that her husband had cheated on her and produced a son. Afterwards they're said to be [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage very happy and affectionate towards each other.]]

** It began as a brief fling and then they didn't give a crap about each other for awhile, but Vegeta and Bulma eventually became this in the latter parts of ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. During the Buu Saga, Vegeta is surprised to be struck by the realization that he's content with family life like Goku. It's made more apparent in ''Anime/DragonballSuper'', particularly in scenes with their children (Trunks, Bra, even Future Trunks). Even if [[{{Tsundere}} they hate to admit it outright]] most of the time.

** King Bradley and Mrs. Bradley. Admittedly they had a pretty [[SlapSlapKiss rocky start]], according to Mrs. Bradley, but they are very close and loving and genuinely GoodParents to their adopted son Selim. [[spoiler:Although it's part of his cover, King Bradley implies that he genuinely liked her because Father had no say in who he chose.]]

** [[spoiler: In the end, Edward and Winry are shown with their first two children plus Al, May and their friend Paninya. They look very happy together, so it looks like this trope applies to them as well.]]

* Wilhelm and Dorothea Malders from ''Manga/VictorianRomanceEmma'', one of few noble marriages shown to be happy and without much problems.

* Damn near every married couple in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', of which there are many. Ties in with the themes of family and bonds, but also makes up for the fact that half the cast are orphans and those same happily married couples quite often [[TraumaCongaLine ended up dead]].
** This is also played straight in the epilogue onward; [[spoiler: Naruto and Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura, Shikamaru and Temari, Sai and Ino, and [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Chouji and Karui]]]] get to have their happy endings as married couples.

** Honey and manga-only Reiko also end up married, and we're told Mori is married with children somewhere down the line.
** It's implied that Haruhi's parents were this until her mother's death prior to the start of the series. In fact, her father says he was so in love with her mother that after she died he could no longer be attracted to women.

* In ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' [[spoiler: Saito and Louise get married at the end of the final season, overcoming both Saito's perversion and Louise's tsundere nature and the many, ''many'' obstacles in their way to doing so. And then the newlywed couple opens a portal to spend their honeymoon in our world and introduce Louise to Saito's parents, overcoming one of the big issues with their originating from seperate worlds]].

And then the newlywed couple opens a portal to spend their honeymoon in our world and introduce Louise to Saito's parents, overcoming one of the big issues with their originating from seperate worlds]]. There is some fan-backlash to this, however, given the severe female-on-male DomesticAbuse overtones of the series up until that point.

* Mahiro's parents in ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', who are in the middle of their ''seventeenth'' honeymoon at the start of the story; note that this means they've averaged one honeymoon a year since their son was born. When mother Yoriko joins the cast, she blushes and gets wistful every time she talks about her husband (who's TheGhost, stuck at the office making up for the time he took off for the latest honeymoon).

* Shintarou and Sakura, Ichigo's parents in ''TokyoMewMew'', are an overdramatic pair that acts exactly like newlyweds. One is an OverprotectiveDad and the other approves of anyone Ichigo brings home, but otherwise, they agree on absolutely everything. Ichigo mentions that they're her "ideal couple".
* ''Both'' sets of parents in MarmaladeBoy. Even with the issue of having swapped partners and then moved into the same household all of a sudden, and from then on they're shown to be very in love with their new partners as well as friendly between the four. [[spoiler: It's a JustifiedTrope, in the end: The four have actually been friends for atleast ''twenty years'', and back then the 'couples' were swapped as well.]]

* In the beginning of ''DNAngel'', it appears as though Daisuke's father is either [[DisappearedDad dead or deadbeat]], since he isn't around and is never mentioned. Soon, however, Kosuke comes back home from researching something related to the Niwa family history, and it turns out he and Emiko are very much in love and a shining example of this trope.
