Cherry Magic: Exploring the Genre
Yuu Toyota is a celebrated artist and the author of the movie and now the anime series adaptation of Cherry Magic. The manga artist wrote numerous Yaoi series, a niche focusing on Japanese boy love or sexual romance between men. In addition, Yaoi is a subgenre of Shoujo, which is a genre targeting young girls.
The original manga series in paperback is available through Square Enix at a retail price of $12.99 on the Penguin Random House website. It is still licensed under Square Enix’s name.
Plot Line: Is There an Evocative Scene in Cherry Magic?
Based on the popular manga series and the movie adaptation, the Cherry Magic anime also follows the same plotline.
Adachi, a virgin, crosses his 30th birthday without getting romantically involved with anyone. His newfound magical abilities quickly restore his crippling self-esteem. A 30-year-old can read the minds of people with a simple touch. The salaryman’s life turns around when he brushes against a hot co-worker, Kurosawa, who has intense feelings for him. The latter often fantasizes about Adachi.
Hence, the pursuit of romantic feelings begins with one lover utterly unaware of the cat being out of the bag. But what started as sexual tension turned into genuine affection over time. Also, conflict begins when their budding romance is interrupted by a harbinger of doom, Adachi’s job transfer!
An actual test of their love begins as the two must overcome considerable obstacles to keep their love alive. Cherry Magic is a beautiful series that explores the themes of homosexual love, acceptance, secret power, self-worth, and nurturing love past the feelings of infatuation.
Side-by-side, love stars are budding between another 30-year-old virgin and part-time deliveryman, Tsuge. He, too, possesses magical powers and falls for a male dancer called Minato.
Since the show is a rom-com, it does have quite a few same-s*x kissing scenes. It also depicts gay marriages, which have failed to acquire legal status in some parts of Japan. Nonetheless, according to MyDramaList.com, the movie adaptation had a G content rating, which suggests that all age groups can safely enjoy it.
