Okay, if you’ve gotten this far in life without ever seeing the J-Drama ‘Cherry Magic’, you deserve to treat yourself. Seriously get ready for the softest and sweetest and bestest boys ever...and you are welcome!

adachi, putting on an oversized sweater: thoughts?

kurosawa: not a single one.

Now that cherry magic's anime is over there are two things that I'm disappointed about in the final. First we didn't get the hickey thing where they were like if this mark dissappears I will come back and make a new one I was waiting for it for whole episode. I was really sad that they didn't include it. Second the fact that they literally rushed the ending they could've made another episode but they didn't so that's sad.

BUT

These two scenes are nearly enough to make up for it. Keyword nearly. I'm still disappointed.

Favorite Two: Keita & Nobuyuki - Theatrical Company EXILE Fam

I really could burst with how much joy it gives me to see Adachi offering comfort and to be a shoulder to lean on for Kurosawa because TOO OFTEN couples in media are SO one sided on who takes care of who. God bless cherry magic

So, in the midst of scrolling through tiktok nd waiting for kubosai content, i stumbled upon sumn I should’ve watched back during quarantine.

Cherry Magic. ( or Cherry Magic! 30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい )

It never occurred to me that i should watch it until two days ago, when a video a close friend of mine reposted came up. Despite having told myself that i might watch it back in 2020 when it came out, i never actually got to watching it but now that i did, I want to say that, its a fkin masterpiece.

Adachi nd Kurosawa have such a lovely relationship, that doesn’t necessarily revolve around sex ( something that i try to put off from most BL’s ppl around me have introduced ). The side characters are all well written and really memorable despite the little scenes they have with the main protagonists.

My favourites are definitely Adachi, Kurosawa, Rokkaku and Fujisaki! They’re all so sweet to each other nd their dynamic makes it more or less sweeter!! The way they ( Adachi nd Kurosawa ) inspire both Fujisaki and Rokkaku in their own ways. But despite the little ( i mean, does it count as little?? They do have alot of screentime together??? ) scenes they have, they do make their scenes worthwhile to watch and man they are js so adorable everytime they come up 😭😭

Adachi and Kurosawa on the other hand, are rlly rlly cute. Their relationship makes me crumble and fold.

Kurosawa is such a green flag. The way he wants to hold and kiss Adachi but holds back from his urges bcs he cares more abt Adachi than his own urges. Sure its basic human decency but seeing it actually being well-portrayed in a BL show ( not that I rarely see it, its more of most Japanese shows being weird nd stuff ykwim? ) makes it so much more refreshing to watch. Also the way he cares so so much abt Adachi? He could sense if Adachi is more gloomier, picks up on the lil quirks Adachi has, makes sure Adachi is smiling most of the time bcs he enjoys seeing him happy more than he enjoys seeing him being upset etc etc. It’s js so heartwarming and Kurosawa doesnt even have mind reading powers to do that. He supports Adachi all the way, even spending days trying to help Adachi perfect his presentation skills nd stuff nd js ughhhhh-

Adachi, is incredibly cute as well, his little bedhead, the funny monologues he does in his head, his existential crisis’ everytime he hears Kurosawa’s thoughts, the amount of “ Ehs “ he says and the way he thinks so lowly of himself makes his character relatable and endearing. He gets so excited about the thought of being popular or being an inspiration but immediately turns the idea down due to some unforeseen circumstances or js bcs of his thoughts. He sees himself as a normal boring person, doing normal boring things in his life. Hell, even we see that Kurosawa thought of him that way too before he fell for him. Everyday is the same for him etc, at one point when Urabe-san, his senior, suggests dating Fujisaki-san, he instantly turns down the idea. Even after thinking abt it, he turns it down bcs he thinks it would be impossible ( to an extent ).

But despite all that, Kurosawa and the others genuinely think of him as an incredibly hardworking, reliable and kind colleague to have around their work place. Even though he used to pick things up through his mind reading powers, he does show that, even without it, hes still as kind and reliable.

The show is so amazing and im planning to watch the others ( eg. the movie, the manga, the anime?? ) because i just cant get enough of them!!

Also i cant do reviews for the life of me so this would be the longest you get out of me yet. I usually attempt to ramble a whole abt my fav shows or anything but whenever i try, my brain melts or get all woozy at the thought of them bcs I JUST LOVE THEM SO SO MUCHHHH !!!!

Anyways, I’ll do another Kubosai post soon.

Am I adding the "Oh no, there’s only one bed!" trope to my Cherry Magic ABO?

— Do you know what I'm thinking right now?

[absolutebl]

Am l the fist to ask, did you see where GMMTV is doing a remake of Cherry Magic, with ...

Tay Tawan and New Thitipoom

... if you can believe that ?

I just crafted a massive thoughtful response to this and crashed Tumblr's editor, I really HATE their new editor. I have to remember to save as a draft so it switches to the old one that's so much more stable.

TayNew & Cherry Magic 

Anygay, the upshot was: I saw it in GMMTV’s line up and this casting worries (but does not surprise) me. I'd prefer it if with TayNew they had reversed the dynamic (had Tay play the uke) since I think Tay is better at physical comedy and New is better at reserved pining. 

I offered up other GMMTV pair options (JimmySea, EarthMix, JoonDunk?) that might be better options for these particular characters, and that I think Wabi Sabi and OhmFluke might have been the superio choice. Although I understand that it’s GMMTV who can afford to adapt. 

I think the Parks could do it for Korea.

And the See You After Quarantine? boys for Taiwan. 

I like watching multiple adaptations and remakes. Love Stage!! is a trip (I did the manga, anime, live action yaoi from Japan, and then Thailand’s BL). So is Fated to Love You - I highly recommend that journey if you are someone interested in romance as a live action genre, your watch order is: Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Japan, China. It’s truly an experience to get to see all the different countries takes on the same content. Each one is so much itself about it. Believe it or not, China is actually my favorite version.
