I have talked about Cherry Magic in my podcast so many times. I watched the drama before I got the manga. I only got 1 volume. But from what I read it is very much true to the drama.
I watched the drama series on Crunchyroll. I really enjoyed it. Watching the drama has convinced me to buy the manga. So I tried to get the manga volumes. But it wasn’t available until Wordey (an online bookstore) had it in stock. so I took the opportunity to buy it.
The physical manga is high quality. It’s a larger-than-regular-size manga.
I just notice it’s published by Square Enix Manga. I heard of Square Enix as a game developer company. I have seen the company name on major games like Kingdom of Hearts/ Final Fantasy.
I absolutely love the manga as well. The drawing is so good and reading it on an upscale makes the drawings stand out.
I love the awkward, sweet, relationship that both Adachi and Kurosawa have. I keep reading it over and over again. It was such a good read relaxing read.
The only criticism is that it is rated mature, but has no explicit content. So I don’t know how they rate the age for this manga. I think it is over 16, not 18. this manga has nothing explicit.
The drama is so good. I don’t usually watch drama. But I heard it was good and available to watch on Crunchyroll. The cast and the acting performance are good. There was so much emotion, so much suspense. I squeal so much when the two main characters almost kiss. I literally couldn’t hold my screams.
I highly recommend reading the manga as well as watching the drama series. I can understand why popular manga. I wished I got it sooner.
