Will Divorced My Mafia Husband, Married My Brother-In-Law Get Anime?

Wow, that title alone sparks so many adaptation possibilities — I get why fans keep asking about 'Divorced My Mafia Husband, Married My Brother-In-Law'. From where I sit, the likelihood of this getting animated depends on a few big pillars: origin (is it a Korean webtoon, a Japanese manga, or a light novel?), popularity metrics (views, paid chapter sales, trending charts), and the content's tone. If it's a Korean webtoon with a strong josei/romance slant and adult themes, studios and rights-holders often steer toward live-action K-dramas first, because those platforms monetize mature romantic plots really well. But if it’s a Japanese manga or light novel with a sizable fanbase and cleanable content for TV broadcast, anime is absolutely on the table — we've seen this pattern with other romance-heavy titles getting adaptations once they hit a sweet spot of sales and online buzz.

I like to look at comparable cases to get a feel. Titles with mafia-y or mature-romance hooks can go several routes: a mainstream TV anime if the publisher pushes hard and it can be adapted to fit seasonal cour norms; an OVA/streaming-only anime if the material is explicit and needs fewer censorships; or a live-action drama, which often happens faster for webtoons. Fan campaigns, English translations, and publisher collaborations with streaming services (Netflix, Crunchyroll, or local licensors) make a huge difference. If fans make a visible noise — trending hashtags, petitions, fan art floods — licensors sometimes fast-track negotiations. Conversely, niche popularity without strong sales can stall things indefinitely.

So do I think it will get anime? Maybe. If 'Divorced My Mafia Husband, Married My Brother-In-Law' has strong, sustained readership and a cleanable narrative arc, anime is possible within a couple of years. If not, don't be surprised to see a live-action adaptation or a drama first. Either way, I’m rooting for an adaptation that keeps the characters’ emotional beats intact — the premise is too juicy to squander, and I’d happily binge whatever form it takes while sketching fanart between episodes.

I’ve been tracking adaptations long enough to feel pretty pragmatic about this: the medium of origin matters more than fans often realize. If 'Divorced My Mafia Husband, Married My Brother-In-Law' started as a Korean webtoon, the faster and likelier route is a live-action series — Korean platforms love turning popular webtoons into dramas because they target adult romance viewers directly. Japanese-origin stories, especially those serialized in magazines or backed by a publisher with light novel tie-ins, have a higher chance of getting an anime spotlight.

That said, crossover cases happen. Strong international interest, good merchandise potential, and a hook that fits streaming audiences can sway studios. So while I wouldn’t bet my collection on an anime announcement tomorrow, I’d keep an eye on publisher news, fan translation counts, and whether any streaming giant picks up regional rights — those are the breadcrumbs that usually lead to a formal adaptation reveal. Either way, I’m excited at the idea and will probably binge-revisit the comic while waiting — fingers crossed it gets the treatment it deserves.
