Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! #13

by Yuu Toyota

It’s 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!

After Tsuge abruptly tells Minato that he’s a wizard who can read minds, Minato is left completely blindsided. Minato knows Tsuge's not the type to lie, but does that mean magic is real? It's going to take some time before Minato can come to terms with this new revelation!

For his part, Tsuge turns to Adachi and Kurosawa for help. Will their past experience with a very similar situation prove to be the guidance Tsuge needs to show him how to reach out to Minato and gain his trust again?

i forgot how crazy kurosawa is pleaseeeee

[Sollenbum · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another sweet addition to the series. However, this volume seems a little more fragmented. The plot between the main characters, Adachi and Kurosawa, has run its course so now there is a flashback of how they met from Kurosawa’s point of view. It would seem that he too was a wizard with powers to read the minds of people he touched.

The relationship between Tsuge and Minato is also given space but although it is sweet, it lacks the chemistry of the first couple.

Whenever I finish anything that I found to be bad or not for me, I know I can always read a manga volume to bounce back, especially one from this series. 💕

yuu toyota must never stop writing these bc there’s no end to kurosawa being embarrassing

Not my favourite of the series, but I think because some of it felt like a filler episode--save for the parts where we get to finally see the secondary couple find love. I also kind of wanted more about the two MCs' life together.

Some parts were definitely funny and it reminded me of when I first started this series. I remember laughing so much and immediately knowing that I had to read the rest of the series. Although this volume wasn't a favourite, I DID love feeling that again.

I know that this series is coming to a close soon and I'm really sad to see it go. But I do love seeing these characters we've grown attached to find their happiness.

I'm both excited and sad for the next volume!

Happy reading!

Woohoo new volume!! Loved the M&M chapters; I like how their dynamic is different than KuroAda, but still really heartfelt. Also really enjoyed the wizard!Kurosawa AU, very neat to how he reacts to his powers and uses them differently. Lastly: RIP Rokkaku x_X

Encara no l'he comprat perquè estic pendent que baixi de preu a Amazon o aparegui una opció de segona mà bé de preu, però aquesta col·lecció és taaaan xula!!! ♥️ Impossible ser objectiva!!! En aquest volum tenim el progrés definiu de la parella secundària amb un bonic primer petó, però tampoc hi passa gaire res més. Entenc les crítiques que diuen que és un volum de farcit, però jo feliç igualment ^^'

Development on the side character couple. Then a collection of short stories that don't further the story, but were very cute regardless.

I think I heard the author saying the story is about to end and I think it's time. This volume was a little boring, it barely had Adachi and Kurosawa in it and I honestly never cared about Tsuge and Minato's story so 🤷‍♀️

[Madeline · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 bc I want more tsuge and minato! But I loved the what if chapters, so fun!

Mind reader Kurosawa is interesting and funny! Adorable volume, just felt a little bored.

[Aaterfoedelse. · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my comfort series; I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to reading the next volumes.

[Maria Cecilia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Menos mal ya resolvieron esa otra relación. Pero que necesidad hay de meter una tercera? Jajajaja cuando se va a acabar este manga?

[Alex Jiménez · Rating 4 out of 5]

still so wholesome but it has started to lose momentum a bit! however she’s a genius for including the side romance, makes it so much more interesting…

[Dani · Rating 3 out of 5]

It hurts my soul to do this to my boys but this volume was just a mish-mash of ideas and extras that mostly seemed cobbled together.

That being said I do love this series, and I did like some of the chapters! Tsuge and Minato getting their communication together was great, even if it was short. And the bonus chapter of Rokkaku's perhaps-growing crush on Fujisaki-san was cute.

I did think the what if chapters about Kurosawa were cute but overall I feel like they didn't add much to the story besides seeing Adachi from his POV which is always cute.

Super cute - loved to see more Minato and Masato. But I LOVED the what if 3 episodes and do I see jealousy in the horizon??

[Heather D-G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Things get a little rocky when Tsuge finally tells Minato about his ability to read minds. Good thing they have their friends to turn to for good advice. After all, they’ve been through it all before!
Lots of fun and sweet daily moments.

[Kristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Don't tell anyone, but I might like Tsuge and Minato more than Adachi and Kurosawa, maybe...

This volumes starts with Minato. He is on his tour, working hard trying to get people to come to his show in areas where they are still unknown. His tour schedule is really intense right now. We then get to see how he has been ruminating about what happened between him and Tsuge in the last volume. Minato hasn’t been reading Tsuge’s texts because he is conflicted and confused about what Tsuge said, and what that means about his feelings if it was true. Even though it’s hard to believe what Tsuge said is true, he can’t imagine him lying. He wonders though, if Tsuge really can read minds, then can he trust that his feelings for Tsuge are actually real?

We then get a dream sequence of Minato’s past and see that he has fallen for a guy once in college, one of his close friends. After his friend joked around about going out with him, Minato made a move, which freaked his friend out. Minato played it off as a joke, but their friendship was never the same after that. He wakes up feeling like he always gets these kinds of things wrong. Then we shoot over to Tsuge seeing that Minato still hasn’t read his texts. And we see both of them are agonizing and feeling like they shouldn’t have said what they said.

Later Minato runs into his old friend Rokkuko who mentions that Tsuge’s novel Waltz is being made into a movie. When Minato is on the tour bus later he watches video of Tsuge being interviewed. In it, Tsuge makes obvious mention to Minato as the inspiration. After that, he finally reads Tsuge’s texts.

Then we shoot to a scene with Tsuge, Adachi, and Kurosawa. They threw a small surprise party for Tsuge to congratulate him for his movie deal, not knowing he’s in turmoil over Minato. He goes on to tell them what happened, and they both try and give him hope. As they are discussing this, Minato texts saying he wants to meet in person.

When they meet, Tsuge explains everything, and proves he can read Minato’s mind. Minato is able to realize his feelings are real, even if Tsuge was reading his mind. They discuss everything, and it ultimately culminates in the kiss everyone has been waiting for. I didn’t realize I’d get so invested in their relationship, but I honestly couldn’t wait to find out how things would work out for these two. The way the last volume ended had me seriously worried about them, so I am thrilled how things turned out.

After this we get bonus “what if” chapters that show Kurosawa being the one who could read minds instead of Adachi. It starts at the beginning of the story and shows how it might have been if Kurosawa had had the advantage.

We also see Rokkoku might like Fujisaki, but he overhears her say that she isn’t into younger guys, which makes him feel bad.

What even was this volume? It felt all cobbled together. I’ve been thinking this for a while now, but after reading this newest entry it’s more clear to me than ever that this series should’ve ended volumes ago. Or switched over to fully focusing on Tsuge and Minato’s relationship.

Tsuge and Minato took a lot of time to grow on me since they were given little focus in the first couple of volumes, but I have been slowly warming up to them and I’m glad that they were given center stage in this volume to progress their relationship further. They were definitely the most interesting part of this book. I’ve been enjoying the conflicts their relationship has faced because it’s been making their romance seem more realistic. I was especially interested in seeing how they would resolve their current conflict since the way Minato reacts is how I see myself reacting if I ever found out someone was reading my mind without my consent.

While Minato and Tsuge get the first two chapters dedicated to them, which is about half the volume, the rest of the chapters were so random and didn’t push the story forward in any way. There are three chapters that focus on a “What If Kurosawa had been able to read minds instead of Adachi” scenario. Then there’s a chapter in the style of a 4-koma but only has three panels on each page (don’t know if there’s a specific name for that). Then the last chapter is a super short story on Fujisaki and Rokkaku, which I’m kind of disappointed about since I was hoping Rokkaku might have a romance with Asahina. So yeah, all very random. That’s why I can’t help but feel like this story is being drawn out.

This whole volume could’ve been used to progress Minato and Tsuge’s relationship, but instead their story moves forward only a little bit. As a reader I find this incredibly frustrating. I feel like with the last three volumes very little has happened with the story. This just makes me feel like the mangaka will continue to drag this out because this series is all they know and it makes them money so why would they stop.

After this volume I really have no idea where this story is going. Adachi and Kurosawa’s story feels complete, but there is still much to be done with Minato and Tsuge’s. I hope their story wraps up soon because I can see myself giving up on this series if it continues to drag on.

Después de tanta espera tenía muchas ganas de poder leerme este volúmen. Sobre todo porque el anterior acabó con bastante tensión con Minato y Tsuge.
Estoy supercontenta de que lo hayan podido solucionar, y la verdad creo que es de las mejores parejas secundarias en un manga que he leído en mucho tiempo. Tengo muchas ganas de ver más de ellos.

En cuanto a Kurosawa y Adachi, me encanta la dinámica que tienen después de un tiempo viviendo juntos, aunque anhelo bastante los momentos fluffy que tenían antes (y que ahora tienen pero que se ven un poquito menos). Aunque me ha encantado que se hayan visto capítulos como los de sus rutinas por la mañana, o un “qué pasaría si Kurosawa fuera el que pudiese leer mentes”. De alguna manera han hecho que el manga nos enseñe partes más ocultas de los personajes, pero que a la vez son muy divertidas de leer.

Y la verdad, ahora que están avanzando más los sentimientos de Rokkaku hacia Fujisaki, se me haría bastante interesante ver cómo se desenvuelve la cosa. Me sabe mal que me voy a pasar medio año desconectada de la historia, y quizá eso acaba haciendo que no tenga el mismo hype que tenía antes. Aunque realmente los volúmenes mantienen la misma calidad del principio, y la historia engancha como el primer día que la empecé.

Overall, I feel like this volume lacked emotional depth. As I’ve mentioned before, this is a recurring problem with this series. Other volumes have had the same problem, including volume 10, which was their wedding.

The beginning was the best part. Tsuge and Minato basically made up. It was nice to see, but it also exposes Minato’s immaturity. He chose to ignore Tsuge instead of talking to him. For me, it makes the character more unlikable.

After that part, it felt kind of like a filler episode. It was nice to see Kurosawa with the mind reading power, but it was nowhere near as interesting as Adachi‘s. Like I said, it just lacked any emotional depth, and I felt nothing reading it. I’ve seen this complaint echoed in other reviews, so I’m glad I’m not the only one. Hopefully the next volume is better.

This series is still adorable, but there's less overall progress in the story for this volume. What progress is made is with Tsuge's relationship, after he seems rather desperate for Adachi and Kurosawa's help given how they successfully navigated Adachi's abilities. It's understandable Minato would have a very different reaction as both of them are very different people, and Tsuge didn't exactly do a great job of explaining everything to start with. We get a bit of a reverse story highlight as well with what things may have looked like if Kurosawa were the wizard instead of Adachi when their relationship hadn't yet started, though Kurosawa is still head over heels in this version with Adachi is adorably clueless.

[Austin Shay · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cherry Magic! Vol. 13 fails to capture the emotional depth and charm that made the series so engaging. The pacing drags, with much of the volume feeling repetitive rather than pushing Adachi and Kurosawa’s relationship forward in a meaningful way. Side characters get some attention, but their arcs feel underdeveloped, adding little to the overall story.

While Toyota’s artwork remains expressive and visually appealing, the storytelling feels stagnant, with conflicts resolving too neatly and little real tension or growth. Longtime fans may still find comfort in the familiar dynamic, but this volume lacks the spark that made previous installments shine. Hopefully, future volumes will bring back the heartfelt moments and character development that made the series special.

Finally Tsuge and Minato talk and fix things. Their kiss made me giddy and happy for them. My favorite part is the extra scene where Kurosawa learns Tsuge can read minds. 🤣 the rest of the volume are what if scenes and some every day activities by all the characters. The one chapter I did not expect was the hint of Rokkaku experiencing more feelings than just normal coworkers for our fujoshi, Fujisaki. 😮 looking forward to the next volume since I read the sneak peek and looks like a new man comes into play and he’s working with Adachi! I can feel the drama already and it looks good, especially if Kurosawa protects his happily ever after as much as he already does.
