What Are the Grotesqueries in My Happy Marriage?
Grotesqueries are creatures of the supernatural that have plagued the country since time immemorial, but no one understands where they come from or how they manifest, leaving many people perplexed by their appearance.
Based on reports, grotesqueries can resemble humans and animals, but some are so twisted that they defy eyewitness descriptions. They can also change shape as if they are unable to settle on a specific form.
Others regard grotesqueries as otherworldly entities, often known as fiends, spirits, or ghosts, who act viciously against humans and exist solely to hurt them.
Grotesqueries are invisible to regular people who lack the talent of spirit-sight; therefore, Miyo Saimori is unable to see such creatures.
Miyo lacks spirit sight because she is an Usuba who intends to use her gift on humans rather than the grotesqueries.
Some people believe that grotesqueries are nothing more than illusions created by the human imagination.
After all, they appear when people attribute an unfathomable phenomenon to monsters or spirits, and their dread of the unknown leads to the physical manifestation of these creatures.
Due to Western cultural influences and technological advancements, an increasing number of people also reject the reality of grotesqueries.
Those who were able to see the grotesqueries believe they exist, and they think that more Gift users should take on the job of eliminating them one by one.
Gift-Users Can Kill Grotesqueries in My Happy Marriage
In the series, the gifted must hunt grotesqueries since they descended from bloodlines with extraordinary abilities. They can use spirit-sight to eradicate grotesqueries through various supernatural attacks.
Because they have the gift, they are crucial to the empire, so they get the perks that come with their elevated rank. These include the Saimoris, who have been ridding the world of grotesqueries for quite some time.
Meanwhile, a Special Anti-Grotesquerie Unit exists to deal with supernatural phenomena, including the grotesqueries, and each member has spirit sight and, in special cases, paranormal powers.
Kiyoka Kudou is the leader of the Special Anti-Grotesquerie unit, and most of the time, he works in his office, drowning in paperwork. When necessary, he goes out in the field to fight grotesqueries with his soldiers.
