First preview scenes from the premiere episode of the TV anime series "Marriage Toxin" have been released. The story is based on the manga of the same name by Joumyaku and Mizuki Yoda, which has been serialized on the "Shonen Jump+" platform since 2022 and is published in Germany by Egmont Manga.
At the center of this action-packed story with comedic elements is contract killer Hikaru Gero, heir to the influential Poison Master family. To save his sister Akari from an arranged marriage and the duty to bear an heir, he finds himself forced to enter into marriage himself—despite having almost no experience with women so far.
The first episode, titled "A Poison Master's Partner Search," shows how Hikaru meets the con artist Mei Kinosaki, who is actually his next target. Instead of killing her, he surprisingly proposes to her and asks for her help in his own search for a bride. The released scenes offer a glimpse into this unusual encounter and Hikaru's desperate decision.
The anime is directed by Motonobu Hori at Studio BONES Film. Kimiko Ueno is responsible for the screenplay and series composition, while Kohei Tokuoka contributes the character design. The main roles are voiced by Haruki Ishiya as Hikaru Gero and Shion Wakayama as Mei Kinosaki.
The premiere of "Marriage Toxin" is scheduled for April 7, 2026, and will be broadcast on Japanese television.
