I really can't get into this. I'm choosing not to include a rating because it wouldn't be fair to the creator. I already know that rom coms usually aren't my thing but since I already owned books 1-3 I thought I'd give it a chance.
It's a cute comedy about a guy who, upon reaching the age of 30 still a virgin, gains the ability to hear the thoughts of anyone he comes into contact with. Through this new ability he discovers that the hottest guy at the office actually has a crush on him.
There's nothing negative that I can say about the story or the characters. Sometimes it gets a little confusing knowing which characters are saying what because it's not always apparent which thought bubbles belong to which character but that's only a minor complaint.
There's a live action show based on this and I'm going to try to watch it to see if it I like it. Maybe it'll help me enjoy volume 3 more. Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 5 sao. Truyện hay, dễ thương, quắn quéo các kiểu đồ.
Chương ở chỗ onsen tắm suối nước nóng là không có trên phim, chắ c cũng tại anh Keita gầy quá, với cả là cho vô thì chắc cũng phải dán nhãn 18+ chứ không vừa :>. Qua tập này mới thấy Kurosawa nghị lực như thế nào, chứ tâm tình anh này đen tối vãi luôn. Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 One of my friends introduced me to Cherry Magic. She was watching the drama adaptation... and she might have gotten addicted lol. Even in class she was bragging how good the story was. And so I did intensive research and realized there is a manga. I don’t rad Japanese manga because they are black and white and I can’t read from right to left. The only exception is was Maid Sama. Anyways my conscience won’t let me watch the movie before reading , so here I am already having read 2 volumes . Very funny and but not much drama. And I totally like this type >< Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 Interestingly, this volume wasn't really adapted into the TV show (except for the confrontation scene with the mean guys, but that happens in very different circumstances), and I wonder if it's because they weren't allowed to show half-naked guys! XD
I was slightly surprised that Kurosawa is not sure whether he's also physically attracted to Adachi! This makes me think he might be on the asexual spectrum too?
Also Kurosawa's sister plotting so he could take care of a sick Adachi - loved it! :D

It's complicated: A thirty-year-old virgin gets more than he bargained for when his newfound magical power reveals he's the object of his male coworker's affections!
Businessman Adachi turned thirty a virgin, and now he's a wizard who can read the mind of anyone he touches...which is how he learned that his handsome coworker Kurosawa was in love with him! Inexperienced Adachi was initially bewildered by Kurosawa's intense feelings, but after being exposed to Kurosawa's genuine affection, Adachi finds Kurosawa on his mind a lot more often than he'd care to admit these days! Will the upcoming staff business trip turn into a trip for two for Kurosawa and Adachi?! Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02
4.5 stars
I really love this already. I like the character so much and the story is pretty cute. Now I have to wait for the third volume to be released. Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 This is particularly fun now that the whole virgin angle has largely been swept aside in favor of the humor. I'm really not sure why it had an explicit warning label, though...I've read books marked T that were racier than this.
Full review eventually appearing on ANN. Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 My cheeks hurt 🥺
These two are seriously adorable! Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 Ooohhh baby 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 02 I couldn't find my copy of volume 1 and don't remember exactly what happened at the end, but I think Kurosawa kissed Adachi's forehead and Adachi said he didn't mind, but they didn't go any further than that. Now Adachi is stressing over his interactions with Kurosawa. Kurosawa's behavior seems perfectly normal, but Adachi's telepathy (which Kurosawa still doesn't know about) tells him that Kurosawa is definitely still hoping they can become a couple. Resistance isn't going to be easy - Kurosawa's hot, romantically experienced (if only with women rather than men), great at everything, and a skillful negotiator.
And so the two of them end up on a staff trip at a hot spring resort with the rest of their coworkers, giving Kurosawa lots of opportunities to spend time with Adachi. Unfortunately, the trip only underscores for Adachi just how popular Kurosawa is. All the women at work want to spend time with him. Why is someone like that at all interested in a depressing and thoroughly forgettable guy like him? Adachi's telepathy may give him the ability to peek at other people's thoughts, but it doesn't let him truly understand their hearts.
Okay, series with the cringe-y title and annoying premise, you have won me over. I'll continue reading. This volume was super cute and sweet, even though I, like Adachi, couldn't help but wonder why Kurosawa fell for him in particular. I mean, yes, he saw Adachi's quiet little acts of kindness and was moved, but surely he'd seen other people do similar things?
One thing I loved about this volume was the way it played around with perspective. Although Adachi has the ability to read the mind of anyone he touches (or who's in the water with him, since apparently water conducts thoughts as well - try not to overthink the telepathy aspects, I guess), that doesn't really mean he understands them, and that was really apparent in this volume. Readers could tell that Kurosawa was jealous of Rokkaku and Fujisaki and fretting over what he viewed as Adachi's moments of closeness with them, but Adachi's completely missed those signs. He knew that Fujisaki preferred Kurosawa to him and figured that was obvious, and Rokkaku didn't even enter his mind as someone who might even vaguely be interested in him.The author took it a step further later by including a couple chapters from Kurosawa's perspective. It was both hilarious and bittersweet.
The second half of the volume introduced another jealousy storyline, after Adachi spotted Kurosawa with a pretty woman. Thankfully that was resolved in this volume, although the resolution was contrived enough to make me wonder what Kurosawa said to her and whether there was some deliberate matchmaking going on.
My favorite moments in this volume: Kurosawa neatly shooing Rokkaku away; Adachi finally realizing some of what Kurosawa had been going through during the staff trip; Kurosawa getting super excited about his glimpse of Adachi's belly (and Adachi vowing to work on his abs more, even so); and pretty much anytime Adachi and Kurosawa got a chance to talk a bit in private.
So yeah, I'm cautiously keeping this on my To Buy list, at least for a little while. Which doesn't really help me with my goal to free up shelf space, but oh well. The series is funny, sweet, and although Kurosawa could end up becoming overbearing, for now he's trying really hard not to come on too strong. Volume 1 did have some moments that made me uncomfortable, but Volume 2 was better in that regard, so I guess I'll find out how Volume 3 works for me.
The Parental Advisory - Explicit Content stamp on the cover still makes no sense to me. There is absolutely no explicit content in this or the first volume. While it's true that Square Enix Manga may just be playing it safe and preemptively marking the series this way in preparation for a future more explicit volumes, the longer this series goes on without any explicit content, the more annoyed this stamp is going to make me. After a certain point, it starts to look like the publisher has just decided that two guys being interested in each other is automatically explicit content, and that's not okay.
Extras:
A page of full-color artwork at the beginning (set up to look like Kurosawa thinking of a paper doll version of Adachi, with a few outfit changes); a short bonus chapter featuring Tsuge, Adachi's romance novelist friend who also developed telepathy at age 30 due to his virginity, and his delivery guy crush; a couple pages of translation notes; and a fairly lengthy preview of the next volume, featuring an amusing moment in which Kurosawa mentally punches his own self out after he finds himself attracted to a sick and feverish Adachi.
I'm not really interested in Tsuge and his crush - I'd rather have more Adachi and Kurosawa. I suspect that the series will switch over and focus more on Tsuge at some point, though, when the author runs out of steam on the primary romance between Adachi and Kurosawa.
