For anyone who either didn't watch or hasn't heard of the anime Cherry Magic: 30 Years of Virginity Made Me A Wizard.......please watch it. Yes the title is fucking ridiculous. No it's not a masterpiece. Sure the animation is passable, standard for a BL romance at the very least. What makes it worth watching are the expectation subversions it delivers around every episode.

The main character can read minds because he's a 30 year old virgin, so you'd think he'd use this to his advantage to sleep with people? Wrong. He's awkward as hell and feels insanely guilty about this power that he can do nothing about.

Since Love Interest-kun is in love with Protagonist-kun, he must take advantage of him like nearly all BL stories, right? Wrong. Love Interest-kun is a dork with the most vanilla fantasies you can imagine who still manages to be a gentleman even when he's consumed by lust.

But surely Protagonist-kun keeps his power a secret from his love interest, right? Wrong. When he and Love Interest-kun start getting serious, he tells him, because again, he's insanely guilty about it.

But surely Love Interest-kun takes the news that his boyfriend can read his mind and has been invading his privacy poorly, right? Wrong. He's totally cool with it.

But there's a woman at the office they work at who takes an interest in them. Surely she must be romantically interested in one of them and screws up their dynamic, right? Wrong. She's just a fujoshi who wants her ship to be happy.

So it ends with the couple finally going on a date or kissing right? Wrong. They got that stuff out of the way early. They end up getting married and living happily ever after.

I'm not going to pretend this show was outrageously amazing, but I feel like it deserves more love because every time I thought it was going to play into the typical BL tropes, it proved me wrong.

Okay but the way Jinta & Min love and support each other in their successes is actually art.

Masato and Minato in the newest chapters just 😭😭😭

[seekers-who-are-lovers]

Ah, the balcony scene and the Chiaki Kobayashi scream that I am so familiar with.

(Heya, @anitazara !)

[fracturediron]

You know it's true love when Min says Jinta smells like his grandparents and Jinta's just fixated on how Min called him charming

happy wedding <333

***CHERRY MAGIC ANIME EP 5 SPOILERS***

.

.

.

Woooo we got Kurosawa's love confession in episode 5!! One of the most refresshing things about Cherry Magic in all of its adaptations is how little time it takes things to progress. Idk how many eps are left (I'm guessing there's gonna be 12ish eps in total?) but the anime seems to be following the manga very closely (moreso than the drama, though I still adore it) so far, which means we've still got a lot of content left!. With this week's episode ending on the cliffhanger of Adachi's internal crisis, I'm very glad that I read the manga and watched the drama first so I'm not dying for the next week while waiting for ep 6 lmao.

Also I just realized that the next ep is going to be released on Valentine's Day!! Very fitting considering what happens next... Manga fans will know :)

Hey naina, tried to rewatch the cherry magic movie tonight. Got up to the nagasaki scene. It’s currently paused,,, I have cried genuinely. non stop since I pressed play? My head hurts really badly I think. I’m gonna try again tomorrow I hope you’re having a lovely day

(other ask under the cut for length)

KUROSAWA SAYING WHEN YOU DIDN’T TURN TO ME I WAS SAD AND THAT ONE FUCKIN TEAR THAT FALLS FROM HIS EYES AND THE WAY HE LAUGHS AND APOLOGISES FOR BEING A MESS I NEED A NURSE like i’m gonna. Die i’m two seconds away from throwing up my heart why would he. Why did they film a movie with such intent to tear me to the ground the way he can barely speak and has to try and gather himself multiple times with deep breaths before speaking and ends up crying anyway the way adachi looks on helplessly wondering how to comfort him and let him know how much he loves him the way. The way he tries to bridge the gap between them with understanding through touch one of kurosawa’s main love languages the way kurosawa’s eyes are so glossy and doe like as he waits for adachi’s kiss the way he says his name so softly the way adachi rests his hand on kurosawa’s knee and their hands find each other so slowly…, so softly… so tenderly… the way they can literally speak 636373 words with just their hands alone and do way more for the sake of romance and true deep mutual love than anything the way none of these are in order of how they happen because my brain is seeping out of my ears naina what the actual fuck were they thinking..,, machida keita akaso eiji and kazam hiroki you will receive my medical bills shortly i’m. I wow so. cool

PLEASE IM CRYING KFJHSDKFHDSJF ALL OF THIS IS SO REAL??????? cm crew put Smth into the nagasaki scene idk what but its insane like i will never Not be feral when i think abt it ...... kurosawas breakdown is so painful to see hes been holding everything back for So Fucking Long and imagining all the events from his perspective is crazy like think abt it. he has no idea if adachis ok or not and none of his calls go through and theyre so far apart like Imagine . the fact he wasnt like full on bawling in that scene means hes still holding back so much probs for adachis sake its so aaarhrrhGHGFGHF!!!!!!! LET HIM CRY MORE PLEASE.......

adachis side was perfectly analyzed in that meta i rbed earlier so i have nothing substantial to add but god for the 58302th time his Growth ..... even in ep 12 he had to get that push from tsuge to go meet w kurosawa but in the movie he could already tell kurosawa was putting up a front (and literally predicted it would happen as soon as he got the transfer offer) and he probs planned on talking abt it when he flied back to tokyo before the incident which is. ... .. and the look of determination on his face the entire time kurosawa finally broke down w no panic no overthinking like "I Am Going To Love And Cherish This Man So Hard" and comforting kurosawa w touch and no longer caring abt the magic that hes become reliant on for kurosawas sake. . Yeah im going to be ill about these two for the rest of my life thank u cm crew god bles <3

Just saw the Cherry Magic movie😭

It was so sweet! I'm surprised that there was so little conflict, and how quickly they resolved the conflict. It ended up being a really sweet and wholesome movie

I really thought the main plot of the movie would be them going through a long distance relationship, and Adachi's transfer to a different branch. I was so surprised when he was suddenly back in Tokyo lol

I really liked seeing all these mini-plots I guess? Them finally being truly open with each other without Adachi reading Kurosawa's mind, and for Adachi to lose his wizard powers. Them moving in together. Them visiting each others families and talking about coming out to the people they care about🥺

Kinda wish we had gotten some more scenes with Kurosawa talking to Adachi through Adachi's mind reading, but I'm happy they even had a scene of that happening. It's so cute!! They're so cute!!

AND THEY GOT MARRIED!! I'm not surprised Kurosawa proposed, but I didn't expect a weddibg scene😭 It was so cute too

[lesbianpegbar]

i fucking HATE HIMMMM
