    I don't comment often, but your analysis on Cherry Magic hit all of the reasons why I love the show. Unlike some BL, where there's a clear "but im not gayy!!1! im normal!!" mentality until the character is kissed into submission or crosses a boundary, Cherry Magic was just a realistic adaptation of a couple. From the build-up to the progression of the relationship, it gave a really nice representation of what it's like discovering and exploring being queer.
    There wasn't even a "oh well I guess I NEVER liked women," which while can happen, tends to be portrayed in a way that villainizes women. There weren't any explicit "oh well I'm bi then," but they showed that both male leads could still have an intense romantic relationship while not rejecting their attraction to women as well. And as a bi myself, I cheered!
    I won't take anymore time, but loved it. Both couples had such realistic ways of building their relationships despite the fantastic premise, which is something more gay AND het romcoms need to do imo. Great job discussing it, Kictor!

    • @Kictor
      @Kictor  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +47

      You should see it play out in the manga too (maybe it will show this in the movie). Fujoshi coworker continues to view them as her head-canon couple even when everyone-including her-believes that Adachi and Kurosawa have gotten engaged to their own ladies at/around the same time. Adachi asks fujoshi coworker TO DESIGN THE INVITATIONS FOR THE WEDDING and she still doesn’t know (it was the design of the invitations after all, not including the names. That is why she didn’t know it was Adachi’s wedding to Kurosawa). It is only after she receives her own invitation that she learns that her ship is real and they are getting married. (See chapter 49 and the bonus chapter in volume 10.)

    I LOVE that they're ADULTS in an OFFICE instead of being in high school. I feel like that enables the couple to experience more deep and complex feelings and situations that you can't get when shoved into a high school setting. And it also allows them to have developed more personality through their experiences prior to the story.
    Also I just LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS SHOW

Anime-only probably won’t enjoy it as much since the production quality is not up to par with other shows. BUT the anime stays faithful to the manga with it’s smart pacing. If you love the anime you will absolutely love the manga and all of the additional things you will get from it that are not in the anime.❤❤❤

    If you loved it so much, I STRONGLY recommend reading the manga. It’s just as beautiful as the anime but it goes even deeper in the build-up of this relationship and…. It follows up!! It goes beyond the marriage. It tells you about their long distance, their coming out to their parents (incredible in a BL but their 4 parents are alive and in touch with them!!) , and their struggles as an LGBT+ couple while Adachi gets used to not having his powers.

      Imo, I wouldn’t use that word to describe it (?). It’s a story that deals with the theme of two unhappy people who, even though at first have a hard time understanding each other, end up finding comfort in each other after they reach mutual comprehension and learn to communicate. I think their relationship is far from toxic, it’s just it takes them a while to understand what they feel.

I started watching since episode 1 came out, and honestly, I never thought I'd love this show as much as I did (and still do). This show was SO sweet that it hurt. I loved that the characters weren't homophobic, I loved that the characters weren't red flags, I loved how pure Kurosawa is, I love that it's about 2 grown men falling in love rather than teenagers, I LOVE HOW WHOLESOME AND INNOCENT ADACHI AND KUROSAWA ARE!!!! This show made it into my S-Tier ranked animes, I love it so much. The fact that more people haven't talked about it baffles me, it is such a good and healthy yaoi relationship that we don't see a whole lot of. KuroxAda is the most wholesome ship of the century. I can never get enough of them. Thank you for making this video and talking about the gem this show truly is. I CANNOT wait for the movie!

    I don't think I have watched a BL that has summarized how I feel being litterly 30 and a virgin and just how out of place you feel trying to get into a romantic relationship with someone and not exactly knowing what to do because you don't have the experience quote on qoute. But I'm pretty sure I will meet my Kuraswa, it's a nervous thing because I genuinely don't know what I would do but I do know is that I want it to come about naturally. It's also taught me a lot on how I need to present myself and communicate my own thoughts clearly. I love the show and I am super glad I watched it. Too all the single 30 year old virgins like myself, our time is coming, it may seem long, even looking impossible right now because society seems to say otherwise. But love comes in different forms and we will get ours. #stayhappy

    Cherry Magic changed my life 🙏
    I've never consumed so much media for something, I actually sat down and watched the drama? Like, me? Watching a drama from beginning to end and anticipating the other version? Then went on to buy the mangas? That says something
    This story had honestly a solid entertaining premise, hearing the summary you'd be hooked as in "Virgins in their 30s gaining mind reading abilities? Sounds dope", it's a simple romance, Adachi growing as a person and gaining more confidence in himself thanks to Kurosawa, the romance is the main point but not shoved in your face all the time
    The drama and anime definitely had to speedrun alot of things to make the cut but everyone should read the manga too! It made me laugh, feel giddy, kicking my feet in excitement, BAWL MY EYES OUT (vol 8 or 9 MY GOD), and then cry bc I felt so happy for them (I usually don't cry when reading wedding scenes, this one hits...)
    I walked in fully expecting something silly and fun and it did deliver, as well as actually be deep, talking about love, same sex marriage more seriously

To the point I'm ready to buy the manga, which will be the first ever BL i have ever bought, and it got postcards and sticky notes of them together?!?!?! And you describe the exact reasons why I love it as well, but another thing I love is their interaction together, the kiss scenes (especially when they first did it), the romantic development felt soooo real but also very adorable, especially the times when Kurosawa fight his inner desires and just try to reason himself. A character I can relate most is Fujisaki throughout the whole anime she is just like us fan-girling about KuroAda!! The whole anime to me is ADORABLE and if the movie is going to be realeased imma go and try to watch it somewhere.

    Only found this gem of a video on my timeline after the English dub released, which is absolutely amazing btw somehow even more gay and silly and heartfelt with an LGBT VA cast!
    I got into Cherry Magic through the subbed anime and it introduced me to BL and got me back into watching anime when I had gotten tired of convoluted plots and pervy tropes. The story is incredible, really hit me hard which is rare for someone like me who doesn’t like romance dramas or romcoms. The voice acting in Japanese and English is top tier and I just keep thinking about how comforting this little office queer romcom is, it’s so nice!
    Highly recommend the manga as it’s still going now with Adachi and Kurosawa being newlyweds, Tsuge and Minato dating, and it’s all really really sweet! The Japanese live action is also pretty good, it does its own thing halfway through since it was in development while the manga was still in it’s early narrative arc. There’s also a Chinese radio drama that has been translated and put on TH-cam that is a mix between the manga and Japanese live action adaptation that was very well done it’s so worth listening to!

    As someone who's watched the Japanese live action adaptation, the Thai live action adaptation, the anime, and plans to hopefully someday own the entire manga collection. I would say that yes, Cherry Magic is 100% worth anyone's time! It is a pillar of modern Japanese Bl/Yaoi for a good reason. There's something magical, pun intended, about Cherry Magic that has made it insanely popular and a must watch, in my opinion. Kictor, I'm so happy you watched it and enjoyed it as much as you did. 😊

    There were so many favorite moments in the anime that came from reading Kurosawa’s thoughts. The sauna moment-hot spring in the manga-is definitely top tier for me, where “intense thoughts conduct in a hot steam environment” (meaning if the thoughts are intense enough, Adachi can hear it in a hot steam/water environment even when not touching the person).
    But the best that I always remember and always laugh at is 🥁🥁🥁 the date song. I was looking forward to that scene for weeks when the anime started. And I love how much more ROFL I get from the anime than I do the manga alone (which, by the way, there is a second Kurosawa song that gets heard in the manga in a volume not translated to English yet (edit: that volume has now been released in English). It’s called “Double Date,” heard by Adachi’s friend after Adachi looses his power and has been married to Kurosawa for a time now)

    Love this Analysis a lot! Although I'm sad that the anime rushed a lot of the manga plot like the 8 months of Adachi away and how he gained confidence and all the thing with the parents, but definitely love that they showed the wedding!! It's just all so cute

    You should read the comic!! They go to meet their families and it's so interesting and satisfying!!! 😫😫😫 The animation was beautiful and more satisfying than the JPN Live Action for me (I haven't seen the Thai adaptation yet) but the comic is even better!!

    I'm sooo happy you talked about this show I literally loved it so much and as soon as I found out it was being animated I read the manga and I HAVE to recommend everyone reading it there are a lot of scenes they haven't animated that I'm speechless about (don't wanna spoil) but as much as I wanna recommend it I can't wait to see what they're animating in the movie so maybe it'll be awesome to see it first animated!

    Please make a short vid of you stitch, of expectation vs reality, adachi being in denial about his feelings for Kurosawa (expection) while the reality adachi being gay for kurosawa Cherry Magic style 😊
    I dunno who's better doing who (the character) better, but I think stitch suit for adachi's role...
    Don't get mad y'all! I suddenly got the idea 😅

    I watched both Cherry Magic and Appthecary Diaries recently because you mentioned them. I haven’t seen Yuri on Ice yet, but I’ll be watching it soon. I recently also binged Banana Fish and I … am not okay. I need to read some fan fiction to heal from that.

    I haven't watched this anime but I watched the live action drama, and I'm glad that they have kissing and bedroom scenes. The live action was satisfying in the portrayal of the secondary couple, but the primary couple didn't kiss on screen, which might have had to do with the actor's contracts which, it is what it is, but kind of defies the expectations of the title of the show. However, the discussion around it was frustrating to me bc a lot of attitudes around BL these days seem to portray chaste as "pure" or "better", even though those happenings are sometimes due to censorship, like in danmei.

    I was so surprised how enjoyable this show was! And the kissing scenes really were too good - romantic, intimate, yet not unnecessarily oversexualized! It's amazing!
    The only thing I think (and I know people will disagree) was a bit to quick/rushed was the last episode and the marriage. But hey, we got our happy ending! :D Like don't get me wrong I LOVE slow burn romances, but as you said this healed my heart. And what's this about a movie?! I didn't know about this!!

    In like 2005 I had this yaoi manga where one of the short stories had office guys sneaking around and hooking up in their car because they were both in the closet. There's a whole plot point where one of them gets told about a transfer, much like what happens with Cherry magic, and there's a lot of anxiety about them being separated, much like what happens with cherry magic. In the end, they commit to each other by vowing to hide their relationship for the rest of their lives.... which I guess was the peak of romance for them?? but so freaking sad cause, you know, living in the closet like that is no way to live.
    Look at how far we've come.

      BL as a genre started out mostly as tragic love stories within the shojo world (Banana Fish-from the mid 80s to mid 90s-is considered an example). We have certainly come a long way from those days.

    I read the Cherry Magic manga online when I found out this anime was coming, fell so in love with I bought all of the available volumes (first time I've ever bought physical manga, I do not have room to store it haha) and screamed about it to all my friends who then also read and fell in love with it. The show was really good. The last episode was a little rushed, cause they wanted to finish it cleanly I think, so I TOTALLY recommend reading the manga if you can!!!! So many more delightful details in there to make it even better.

    Thank you for putting together a video for this! I am with you, I absolutely loved Cherry Magic and not many people are talking about it! I read the manga and watched the live action series (And Movie). The anime cuts out a lot, especially towards the end, but I think they did a great job of trimming the fat to only show the best scenes. OMG, that scene in the back room... It was beautiful! I agree, this feels like a very real relationship with those doubts and fears. It's hard to open your heart to someone and it's possible that if Adachi never got his powers, he might never have known how Kurosawa felt, and Kurosawa being the sweetheart and gentleman his is, might never have taken that next step. For the side couple, I really didn't care for Tsuge in the manga or the live action. I was curious how they would handle that couple. They pulled him back a bit, and gave Minato a bigger presence. It's much better in this series and I was actually pulling for them! I hope more people see this sweet show! Thanks again! I was curious what you thought about it. The new BL, too... Tadaima, Okaeri.

    YEEES this anime is so GREEN FLAG!!! what i hate about yaoi/bl is that sometimes they have a very toxic relationship and people tend to romanticise it !! wtf ?? but THIS (and tgcf) is pure gold. No toxic relationship. just two men loving and being cute with each other. two men communicating their feelings, expressing their emotions!! no fragile masculinity here, no bad treatment, no, no, no just A NORMAL RELATIONSHIP!! thank you
