I just finished volume 1 of Cherry Magic at work and it was cute! The story follows a 30 year old office worker who spontaneously develops superpowers because he’s still a virgin at 30 🤣 and he can read people’s minds when they’re in physical contact. He immediately discovers his handsome, popular, successful coworker is madly in love with him, and because Adachi has zero experience romance, he doesn’t know how to handle it.

Overall the story is pretty cute, and there are some pretty hilarious bits but I think I’m looking for more of a story than another collection of vignettes.

Also my store has so many gay mangas but not a lot of lesbian ones and so now I’ve ordered a bunch just to even it out because I want to read some of those too.

Overall the story is funny and cute, and Kurosawa’s thoughts about Adachi are genuinely so sweet and it’s really funny to watch him go from “oh wow he has a freckle behind his ear” to “I want to bite it” in like 2 seconds.

4/5 office romance stars
