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

The best way I can describe this series is just wholesome. Since it is based off of a shounen ai manga there is nothing but wholesome goodness. The acting was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Minato's, presumably, wig always threw me off, but I suppose they weren't about to go ruin their hair for a series as short as this. My only qualm is that you never actually see them kiss? I've noticed this to be a reoccurring theme in Asian BL dramas. They always get as close as one could get to the final moment, the top of the ark, and they just hover. It could be because of Asia's strict laws on televising LGBTQ+ content (seen from China's laws on gay content) and censorship of indecent acts. Honestly, there wasn't much more to it, but I definitely enjoyed all of it in its entirety and would recommend to any mlm content.

At this writing only three episodes have been released, but it's enough to see the quality of the production. It almost feels like a film, especially if you are used to Thai or Pinoy etc, BL series. This just feels more - well I want to say professional but that's not quite right-accomplished and thoughtful. From acting to cinematography to editing.

It feels substantial, even though the plot is fantasy. The office / workaday setting somehow gives the series more gravitas than most BL fantasies. The characters seem real and genuine and we cannot help being drawn in emotionally.

I realize It's a little irresponsible to write a review based on just three episodes of a 12 episode series. And I'll revisit this when the series finishes. But frankly, I couldn't wait to share my enthusiasm.

Side note: it's not clear to me whether there is an official version with English subtitles. I've seen two differently translated versions of the same episode, and there was considerable difference between them. One was more succinct, the other more fleshed out. In BL land, it's kind of the wild west when it comes to bootlegged copies and subtitles. I hope that an official version becomes widely available soon.

The series is really heartwarming, great played and all over in a good quality. In some aspects it's also a view into japanese society and business with surprising moments. I really liked it and recommend it. It has the magic to show a deep love story without getting cheesy.

Lately, I watched lot of BL series and I have to confess this is the best one so far. Only part that I don't like there is no kiss scene for whole episodes. Gosh I waited to see that!

I love this series! I love each character portrays reality of a persons feeling. How our insecurities affects us. It is not only just a BL series it is something we should look forward. It is so easy and funny to watch. In a times like this, something to make you smile is really a great deal.😊
