What is “My Sweet Marriage to My Ex-Nemesis” about?

The original novel series, written by Toshimichi Uzō and illustrated by Kewi Hayashi, began publishing under ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko imprint in October 2023. Four volumes have been published so far, with the fifth planned for 10 November, 2026. The series also has a manga adaptation by Shiime, which is being released in the Dengeki Maoh magazine since November 2024. 

One Peace Books plans to publish the English version of the manga, with the first volume coming out on 16 March, 2027. The publisher describes the story as:

They used to be sworn enemies. Now they’ re sworn spouses.

Roshi Saigawa and Ritsuka Nagira were once bitter rivals, each fighting for supremacy within rival organizations of superpowered warriors. Their days were filled with duels, schemes, and a rivalry so fierce it seemed nothing could ever bridge the gap between them. Yet, somehow, the impossible has happened— they’re now happily married!

From bitter enemies to star-crossed lovers, these two have traded their weapons for wedding vows, and their former battles have given way to laughter, love, and the everyday chaos of newlywed life.

But just because they’ve left the battlefield behind doesn’t mean life has gotten easier. Old rivalries resurface, secrets linger, and the lines between love, rivalry, and sheer chaos blur in ways neither of them expected. From laugh-out-loud domestic disasters to heart-melting romantic moments, Roshi and Ritsuka are about to prove that falling in love with your enemy isn’t just possible— it’ s explosive.

Full of humor, heart, and sizzling chemistry, this enemies-to-lovers rom-com will keep you laughing, swooning, and turning pages until the very last!
