Studio BONES Film&#8217;s breakout Spring anime returns for a second run, streaming on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/series\/GT00371857\/marriagetoxin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crunchyroll<\/a> globally, Singapore included.<\/p>\n<h2>The Show That Made Spring 2026 Worth Watching<\/h2>\n<p>If you slept on this one, the setup is deceptively simple: Hikaru Gero is heir to a family of poison masters and has zero interest in marriage \u2014 except that if he doesn&#8217;t find a bride and secure the bloodline, his younger sister gets forced into a political arrangement instead. His fix is to recruit Mei Kinosaki, a professional marriage swindler, to help him navigate the hunt. What unfolds is an action-comedy where both leads are competent at very different kinds of manipulation, and the chemistry earns the rom-com label.<\/p>\n<p>The manga, written by Joumyaku and drawn by Mizuki Yoda, runs in Shueisha&#8217;s Shonen Jump+. BONES Film adapted it across 13 episodes covering three arcs \u2014 the Water Master, Sound Master and Beast Master storylines \u2014 directed by Motonobu Hori with Kohei Tokuoka handling character design and chief animation direction.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/marriagetoxin-anime-poster-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MARRIAGETOXIN official anime key art featuring Hikaru Gero, Mei Kinosaki and the full cast\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of SHUEISHA \/ MARRIAGETOXIN Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oQ7j804ZM9Q\" title=\"Season 2 Announcement PV\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Season 2 Announcement PV \u2014 via \u30d0\u30f3\u30c0\u30a4\u30ca\u30e0\u30b3\u30d5\u30a3\u30eb\u30e0\u30ef\u30fc\u30af\u30b9 \u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Season 2 \u2014 What the Creator Said<\/h2>\n<p>Story author Joumyaku shared a personal message with the Season 2 announcement, <a href=\"https:\/\/animecorner.me\/marriagetoxin-season-2-announced-for-2027\/\">as published by Anime Corner<\/a>.
