I’m at work and you know what that means! I read a manga! Today I read Cherry Magic Vol 3 and it was good! It was much shorter than the other volumes so it felt a bit stilted story-wise. But what’s exciting is that the story did progress, Kurosawa confessed his feelings and Adachi accepted them! I thought this was the last volume but it seems there will be another one and I look forward to seeing them move past the pining phase.

But I thought this volume focused too much on the side character who is their younger peer. Although a really cute part is the kid invites himself on one of their pseudo-dates (before their feelings are out in the open) and they’re grilling takoyaki together. The kid gives Adachi some food and because he’s a foodie he is happy. But he accidentally feels Kurosawa’s thoughts and Kurosawa is like “NOT TODAY, CHILD. THE WAY TO THIS MANS HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH AND IT WILL BE I WHO FEEDS HIM.” Before just. Giving him so much food.

Overall this series is really sweet but kinda slow. But for now it’s definitely one of the better mangas I’ve read.
