Marriagetoxin Review

Plot: For centuries, the Poison Masters have perfected the art of assassination. Among them, the Gero family stands as one of the five most powerful families of Masters, wielding unmatched skill and influence. Gero Hikaru, heir to this infamous bloodline, has lived his life deep in the shadows of the underworld, far removed from love or marriage.

However, to ensure the Poison Master bloodline does not die out, the head of the Gero family declares that Hikaru’s sister will be forced to bear an heir. Soon after, Hikaru crosses paths with Kinosaki Mei, a brilliant marriage swindler who also happens to be his current assassination target. Determined to protect his sister and solve the succession problem himself, Hikaru makes an unexpected request on the spot—asking Mei to help him get married.

“… That’s the first time anyone’s ever proposed like that.”

And so, with the cunning marriage swindler Mei as his advisor, the elite assassin Hikaru sets out on the toughest mission for love. His goal? The ultimate marriage. The most unlikely duo—an assassin and a marriage swindler—take on the world’s toughest mission for love! (Source: MAL)

Story: Marriagetoxin has a fun premise and wastes very little time getting into the action. The story moves at a good pace, balancing comedy, drama and some genuinely enjoyable fight scenes. There are also a few emotional moments that help remind you that, beneath all the action, this is still a story about someone who’s trying to change his life.

One thing that stood out to me was Hikaru’s determination. Whenever he reaches his limit, it’s not revenge or anger that pushes him forward, but the people he has met along the way. Thinking about Mei, his friends, and the future family he wants to have is what gives him the strength to keep going.

My only real complaint is that, after the first few episodes, some of the battles started to drag on. They were entertaining, but they lasted a little longer than necessary and became tiring after a while.

Characters: Hikaru is the type of protagonist I enjoy watching. He’s dependable, responsible and rarely lets his emotions get the better of him. At first, he comes across as distant, but his childhood explains a lot. He grew up isolated, overprotected and taught to follow strict rules without questioning them. It made him lonely and shaped the person he became.

What I liked most was seeing him slowly move away from that mindset. Small moments, like accepting food that Kimie prepared despite being taught never to eat food made by others, show that he’s beginning to trust people and make his own choices.

Mei couldn’t be more different. He’s outgoing, expressive and constantly pushes Hikaru outside his comfort zone. What starts as a business arrangement gradually becomes a genuine friendship. At this point, it doesn’t even feel like Mei is helping Hikaru because of their deal anymore. He simply wants to see him succeed after getting to know the kind of person he really is.

Animation: The animation is consistently good. The action scenes are well animated, character expressions are clear, and the overall presentation is polished.

Overall: I enjoyed Marriagetoxin more than I expected. It has a strong premise, likeable characters and enough humour and action to keep things entertaining. I do think a few fights could have been shorter, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience.
I’m definitely looking forward to the second season and seeing where Hikaru’s journey goes next.

Score: 8.5/10

Sawada Tsunayoshi's journey isn't about becoming the strongest—it's about growing into someone who believes in himself.

His kindness, compassion, and gradual rise from "Dame Tsuna" to a dependable leader make him one of my favorite shounen protagonists🔥
