4.5 - Minato tearing up at the end nooo my heart 🥺 I need their conflict resolved IMMEDIATELY!!! Also the scene of Adachi taking charge was hot asf

[Sollenbum · Rating 4 out of 5]

This 12th volume is almost evenly focused on both couples: Kurosawa and Adachi are working through some issues about the balance in their lives. Adachi feels that he is not pulling his weight in the relationship and Kurosawa does not realize that he needs to allow Adachi to care for him as well. This episode is very sweet, because their care for each other misfires and they end up being estranged for a couple of weeks before they reunite and talk through their issues.

Tsuge and Minato are also learning to let the other in but in their case honesty does not work out quite so well. Tsuge confesses that he is a wizard and can read minds, but Minato thinks he is playing games. However, the preview for the next volume seems to indicate that he just needs a little time to process the information ...

Cherry Magic! jest jedną z tych mang, które są całkiem przyjemne podczas lektury, ale gdy już skończysz tom to zapominasz wszystkiego co się w nim działo. Sięgając po tę część nie pamiętałem kompletnie nic z tego co się wydarzyło w poprzedniej. A czytałem ją w tym roku! Mam też wrażenie, że autorka nie ma już pomysłu na fabułę między Kurasawą/Adachim i ciągnie to wszystko by jakoś zakończyć wątek pobocznej pary (która nie interesuje mnie jakoś specjalnie). Więc wszystko wypada trochę meh. Przyznam natomiast, że trochę śmieszył mnie ban na seks dla Kurasawy, dopóki nie zakończy on dużego, stresującego i męczącego projektu w firmie. Zamiast pomóc mu się trochę zrelaksować, zrobić loda, Adachi postanowił tylko go dobić lol.

As much as I love these characters, it feels like this story should've ended back around volume 10. For the last couple of volumes, it feels like the mangaka is pulling at straws to find conflict to keep this series running and what she's coming up with isn't particularly interesting. There's a heavy focus on workplace related issues so we the readers spend a lot of time learning about marketing techniques and the stationary industry. Adachi and Kurosawa are still cute as hell, but I really don't care about the stationary expo or the work that goes into preparing it. I kind of miss when Adachi's and Kurosawa's romance was the main plot driver. I guess I'm also not a huge fan of Tsuge and Minato. With Adachi and Kurosawa now happily married, Tsuge and Minato moved to the forefront and I guess I just don't feel the chemistry between them the way I do with Adachi and Kurosawa. Maybe I'll grow to like them eventually? Now that I'm caught up with the series, I don't mind continuing on just to see where this goes, but I guess my love for this has lessened lately and I don't think the series will ever get back to the high it had in the first 10 volumes.

The moment I had been waiting for this so Tsuge told Minato that he can reads minds but turned into disaster as minato didn't believe him😩

I love this series cart.wait for more .

[Maria Cecilia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ay no, como van a terminar eso así. A parte sentí que no pasó nada xd.

[Dani · Rating 5 out of 5]

At this point I could read about KuroAda doing their taxes and I would still give it 5 stars.

But the highlights of this volume were definitely assertive-bottom Adachi 🤠 and Tsuge trying to come clean to Minato 💔😢.

[Julie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly don't have any strong feelings about this series right now, but they're easy reads so I keep going lol.

r you shitting me ezzel a cliffhangerrel…

[Heather D-G · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun volume. I like that we got quite a bit of Tsuge and Minato. I hope that works out!
As for our primary couple, things are going along swimmingly. They’re super cute, as always.
There was one pretty explicit chapter which I kind of skimmed over as it feels intrusive to me, but as always, YMMV.

i still dont gaf abt tsuge and minato im sorry

[Kavitha Sivakumar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not just LGBT romance...this series talks a lot about marketing strategy. Even guys can be clueless dating each other.

3.5/5 ⭐️

[Dayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love how these two support each other and how we see their imperfections. It's one of the things I've always loved about them and as the series progresses, they only get better and better at it--especially because they get to know more about each other.

And I liked the second couple in this because we will finally see them facing the truth! I'm excited to see where their story takes them, especially because of that cliffhanger. I think it's definitely going to take a bit of work to get that couple to their happy ending.

Basically, this whole volume was great for the communication between the couples and because we got to see the dynamics of each couple. I

don't know how many more volumes there will be, but I wonder how Toyota will bring everything together by the end!

Happy reading!

[Alicia ^^ · Rating 5 out of 5]

PRIMERO QUE TODO BUENOS DIAS. He estado esperando este volumen con ansias y lo he leído lentamente para que me durase más de 10 minutos en un martes. Así que apreciad el detalle 😞

Que risa cuando Adachi le dice a Kurosawa que no lo van a hacer hasta después del evento. Si algo echaba de menos sobre leer cherry magic, eran este tipo de escenas cómicas.

Por otro lado, me ha gustado mucho ir viendo inseguridades de ambos lados. Tanto de Adachi ante el sentimiento de que la relación ha normalizado el día a día (debido a que sale en una escena como él mismo echa de menos un beso de despedida por parte de Kurosawa), como de Kurosawa ante experiencias personales sobre lo que le cuesta pedir ayuda (same Kurosawa, same).

Cuando leí el volumen, al principio me dio penita que tuvieran una pelea. Pero me gustó en cierta parte que no todo en la relación se muestre perfecto.
No es que yo sea una masoquista (😞soy) pero me gusta que no todo se muestre perfecto, que hayan peleas, que hayan personajes con inseguridades e imperfecciones. Son cosas que me encantan y valoro mucho a la hora de puntuar los mangas de este tipo.

Dejando de lado eso… La escena spicy donde Adachi toma el control de la situación (no voy a decirlo con otras palabras 😭) ME HA ENCANTADO.
Normalmente siempre se muestran los dos roles típicos, una parte con más control sobre la situación que otra. Y ver cómo Adachi, que hasta ahora siempre ha sido el que se intimidaba en situaciones más subidas de tono con Kurosawa, le ha dado la vuelta a la situación.. Me encanta, es que simplemente me encanta Yuu Toyota. Todo lo que haga ella es O2 para mis pulmones, sangre para mis venas, y bueno, yo creo que se entiende la idea JAHSJAH.

Por otro lado, con Tsuge y Minato. Vamos viendo que la situación ya comienza a tornarse complicada. ¡Qué bien que al fin tengan más protagonismo en la historia! Creo que ahora mismo estamos en un punto en el que la historia principal entre Adachi y Kurosawa gusta verla en su justa medida, ya que también hay interés por la pareja secundaria. Y me parece que ambas historias han estado bien equilibradas en este volumen. Siendo sincera, en otros volúmenes me quedaba con ganas de más.

Me ha gustado mucho que se vea un poquito de trasfondo sobre la vida de Minato desde el debut de su grupo. Y también ver los problemas de comunicación a los que se enfrentan ambos.
Pero lo que más me gusta es ver cómo se apoyan mutuamente. Tanto Tsuge apoyando a Minato y viendo contenido de fans, como Minato yendo al evento en el que Tsuge participa como interlocutor principal.

Que por cierto, he adorado que Adachi y Tsuge cuenten el uno con el otro. Ya no solo esta historia trata de amor, sino de la amistad tan fuerte que tienen ellos dos. Cuando uno necesita algo, el otro no duda en ayudar y en hacer lo que sea por el contrario. Es precioso ver cómo, aunque prácticamente ambos son muy solitarios en cuanto al tema amistad, todavía mantienen un vínculo con mucha confianza. Creo que eso es algo con mucho valor.

En fin, que me enrollo más que una persiana. Me ha encantado y no puedo esperar al siguiente volumen 😞

THE ANGST??? HELLO WHERE DID THE FLUFF GO???? MINATO AND TSUGE PLEASE BE OKAY AGAIN TT

(minor spoilers ahead!!)

review for the series for far because i am nowhere near sane about this

i think i felt a lot of what Adachi is feeling in the beginning. like media and everybody else tells you that by 21 you should be living your best life and dating and doing the deed and stuff and here i am. in a (not so deadend, i hope) job and eternally single and a dumpster fire. man perhaps if i kept this up for another 9 years i'd be a mind reading wizard too. anyway that's besides the point. i liked that Adachi was an ordinary guy. any other guy, and Kurosawa saw him as something special. not because he can read minds and unintentionally pandered to his every need, but because of who he is as a person. i thought that was important to note.

and on the opposite side we have the perfect Kurosawa everyone looks up to and is probably more than a little in love with. Adachi is the only one who gets to see his little pathetic side. and i love how normal he can seem but on the inside is all the crazy fantasies and songs of Adachi one can and cannot even imagine. and the fact that somehow along the way Adachi becomes endeared to that? in absolute pain but the best way.

i love how the tone goes from totally comedic with Adachi going 👁👁 about Adachi's thoughts to actually both of them actually learning to get over their own small and big insecurities and helping each other better themselves. it's actually soft and fluffy and wholesome (though not all the time), and i love how they're going through all the steps of dating and oh my god THE MARRIAGE. THE MEETING THE PARENTS. THE WEDDING. i was this close to bawling my eyes out on public transport okay. and then also trying to help out Tsuge and Minato?

okay THEY are a whole other story. a younger dancer and an older romance writer who is now also a wizard at 30. i never expected so much in their story. i love how they actually inspire each other to chase after their dreams and it was all because Minato was his delivery guy who likes his cat (green flag!!). and there's actually so much about their insecurities in the relationship and seeing them FINALLY open up to each other is so worth the slow burn. but oh god the cliffhanger on the end this volume!!

this is the opposite of Kurosawa's reaction to learning that Adachi can read minds and i love how this manga actually explores that. Kurosawa accepts Adachi's powers BECAUSE he fell for who he was before that. he even uses that to tease Adachi. but Minato takes it the exact opposite way and runs. oh god, and his college crush is coming back. I'M SCARED. BUT EXCITED. next volume please TT

Kurosawa has been selected for the project leader for this year’s stationary festival because the person who usually runs it is on maternity leave. This is a big job and means a lot of work. Adachi wants him to lean on him during this time, but Kurosawa tries to be a hero and do everything himself. At one point Adachi lays down the law saying they can’t even be intimate until the festival is over because Kurosawa’s health comes first. (I’m not sure that I totally understand this reasoning, but different strokes and all). Of course right before the festival all sorts of thing start to go wrong, the weather even prevents their keynote speaker from being able to attend. But in the end, everyone pulls together to help Kurosawa, and it goes off fantastically. Tsuge even gets to be the speaker since they were in a pinch.

After it’s all over when Adachi and Kurosawa are finally intimate again, we see Adachi take the lead since Kurosawa has been working so hard. It’s a very sweet (and hot) moment.
We also get to see more of Tsuge and Minato. They are still taking things slow, much to Minato’s dismay. They go on a date to a place Tsuge wants to go, and at the end Minato gets pretty forward, though it still seems too much for Tsuge.

Later we find out it’s because he feels guilty about being able to read Minato’s mind, and Minato has no idea. Things are finally starting to progress, but Tsuge puts on the breaks because he feels like he needs to be honest with Minato first, but when he tells him the truth, Minato thinks he’s making it up because he doesn’t really want him (which is obviously not the truth) Minato leaves and Tsuge is left standing immobilized and full of regret.

[Ostana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rating this four stars because (1) Kurosawa and Adachi were cute, (2) we get a spicy scene that was great, and (3) Tsuge and Minato were adorable too.

So, most of this book focuses on Kurosawa not being able to rely on others. Adachi tries to help and it’s really sweet, especially at the end when we see a spicy romance scene that we usually don’t get with Adachi taking the initiative.

Also, Tsuge and Minato don’t appear to be very popular with some readers, but I really like them and their story. In this volume, Tsuge actually tells Minato the truth about his mind reading abilities, but Minato doesn’t believe him and leaves. It’s an awful cliffhanger!! It really shows the stark differences between both couples in this series. Kurosawa believed Adachi, but Tsuge was not so lucky. I think part of the issue is Minato‘s age and lack of maturity. I just hope that it gets resolved in the next volume.

Cherry Magic is the 12th volume in the work place Japanese Romance. I think this is a great series, but this wasn't my favorite volume. It might be my least favorite. We had a few sugar moments, a few cute moments between them, but little. This is all about work. They have a huge convention event at work and everyone is busy and stressed. Who wants to read about that.

Adachi is trying to take care of Kurosawa, but he tries to shoulder it all on his own. That's pretty much it.

We catch up in one chapter with the author and his mate and that very cute and sugar. That's really the only thing going. Life is stressful enough, and I don't care to read about work stress unless it someone makes it cathartic.

Anyway, there will be a volume 13. I wonder what the goal is here. What's left to tell. Maybe, they will adopt, who knows. I don't want to just read about their work life in the future. Still, I'll be there for vol. 13.

[Zian B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume was a little bit of a tense one with Adachi and especially Kurosawa struggling some with balancing a heavy work load and their new married life. Nothing the duo can’t handle but it was still worrying to read play out. Although, it was nice to see how they’ve grown in terms of their communication skills.
Tsuge and Minato also hit a pretty major bump in the road, due to some miscommunication and Tsuge’s mind reading ability. I figured those things would become an issue between the side-couple but it was still worrying to read as it played out. However, I am eager to see how they work through this issue and even hints at Minato’s past romantic history.
Overall, another great volume in a great manga series.

[R. · Rating 4 out of 5]

While it seems Kurosawa makes it through his challenges okay thanks to Adachi and the rest of their coworkers, Tsuge isn't having as much luck. The drama adaptation is good news, but it seems like Minato's jealousy may stem from some past relationship experience that went badly, and he's not so willing to take the whole magic thing well as Kurosawa was when Adachi told him. Hopefully the two can talk and at least sort things out to be friendly again, but it's not looking good at the moment. A little surprising we don't have a scene with Tsuge going to Adachi for advice about it, though maybe that's just because he knows things obviously worked out for Adachi with Kurosawa and that he did tell him.
