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

[cherimaho]

what you said abt cmth being too low-stakes is soo true. once achi makes the initial decision to be with karan he's never allowed to have doubts again, there's no real conflict and none of the hangups you'd expect a character like him to have in his first relationship. the show doesn't allow you to worry for even a second that he's not 100% on board. plus like you said, they turned up the crazy on karan but it falls flat bc there's nothing for him to play off of. the cmth characters were even softer than the jdrama with no plot conflict to balance it out. sweet to watch for a bit but nothing that sticks to the ribs. much as i hate a third-act breakup i feel like it was necessary in the jdrama to show that obvs the central conflict of adachi's character/the whole premise of the show is not going to be resolved by a few successful dates, but there's still a payoff to the steps he's been taking throughout their whole relationship.

agree. with all of this. idk removing most of adachi's distinctive personality traits to make him more likeable messed up their dynamic so bad. karan has nothing to play off of when achi is just so accepting. cm is a sweet story, it doesn't drag angst plots, yes, but it doesn't lack substance like this show did. again the writers had something against the manga you literally cannot convince me otherwise. ep8 is something you write after you misunderstand the point of cherry magic so fucking bad it makes you look stupid

just remembered the gap between the release of the japanese and english version of cherry magic volume 6 and threw up in my mouth a little

I could hear his thoughts the entire time. Until now, I felt anxious if I couldn’t hear his thoughts or know what he was thinking.

But now, even if we’re apart, even if I can’t use magic, I’m sure we’ll be okay.

— How can I express the affection I have for him? Words aren't enough. Words aren't enough to convey how I feel.

Just as I've been touching your heart, I want you to touch mine.

the only way i feel like i can take my time back from watching this unfortunate show is analyzing everything that went wrong with it (from a manga fan perspective) (in my opinion) so disclaimer that this is a negative post. if you don't want to sully your experience scrolling the tag feel free to block me. im only providing commentary

episode 8 for me is proof that the writers did not touch the manga. maybe they watched the jmovie once. or maybe the first half. the trailer at least. because how do you make a (stupid) plot about working harder to have karan and achi's relationship accepted and don't IMMEDIATELY give that responsibility to adachi? did you not read the part of the manga where adachi announces to kurosawa that he wants to become a better worker, an indispensable part of the company so they won't be separated? and because yeah they clearly didn't read the manga, did you at least not catch that part in the movie?

but you know what. giving benefit of the doubt here. that happens way later in their relationship in the original story so ok. achi who just started dating karan doesn't feel like he has to prove anything. and the show thinks we're dumb so they give karan anothe plot to prove how much of a green flag he is. sure. but the fact achi doesn't even scold karan for pulling the most dangerou shit imaginable is also so out of character. my guy hardly looked worried that karan threw himself straight to the wolves. didn't even attempt to intervene. like how am i supposed to root for him. adachi would have killed his passive ass!!! i would have too!!
