They seem like 99.0% sure it will happen. Maybe the summary from the JPN magazine is heavily hitting at it.
Worst thing is that Tsuge is likely gonna be touching Adachi (on the shoulder from what I saw on promo pictures)…
Poor Kuro ;o; Getting excited for the date only for another guy to steal your man. But it makes me wonder: Adachi and Tsuge can mind read through touching which means that they can have conversations with each other on their heads without talking. It's funny to picture it xD
i think it would be nice to have this timeline in the discussion part, since it gives a detailed timeline of the…
I was actually thinking about doing that since it will get lots in the comments section later on and it's better to have it somewhere more secure. You are welcome! Edit: I will do it after our marathon on Wednesday. It seems like if I make a topic on the discussion part, it will hide the other one about the marathon and I don't want that, so I will wait :)
Idk why I am laughing hard at that preview pic of Kurosawa's "surprised Pikachu face" when he sees Adachi and Tsuge talking, probably realizing that the first date is going to bomb or "who is that megane talking to my sweetheart, I am gonna throw hands" lmao
Just wanna say again how much I appreciate Fujisakis character in the drama. She's the perfect example of just…
I love her! She is simple, good at her work, considerate, kind and can tease people she feels comfortable with. I am glad the writers didn't use her as a love rival for Kurosawa, both deserve better than that and female characters in BL do deserve more than being reduced to the sneaky, "evil" girl who tries to get the guy. We need more female characters like her in BL stories. It's good to see a friendship between a man and a woman but even more so to see a woman that doesn't conform to the pressure of society and family to get married and have kids. Some people don't want to do that and it's totally fine, everyone has their own plans for life and do what makes them happy. I hope we get to see more of her again in the upcoming episodes. Rokkaku got more attention and while I don't dislike him, I need my dose of Fujisaki-san!
I completed the "Cherry Magic Timeline". It didn't take me long, it was fun to do and I felt productive after a long time lol. Without further undo, here is the Cherry Magic timeline of events:
Info: Episodes 1 – 7 take place during the month of October. We can prove that by: • Adachi’s calendar on the wall • The time-skips are 3 weeks in total • Kurosawa mentioned “October 28th” in episode 6
Episode 1: • The series start on September 30th. • Adachi’s birthday is next day, October 1st (Libra? No way). He gets mind reading powers. • One-week timeskip: it’s October 8th. Adachi learns of Kurosawa’s feelings for him.
Episode 2: • October 8th: Adachi sleeps over at Kurosawa’s house. • October 9th: They have breakfast together. Later that day Adachi meets with Tsuge. • October 10th: Kurosawa stands up for Adachi. Adachi can’t follow Tsuge’s advice and ignore Kurosawa anymore, so he rushes to invite him over for dinner.
Episode 3: • October 10th: Adachi and Kurosawa’s dinner is interrupted by Rokkaku. They are instead invited over for a dinner with their coworkers. Almost kiss happens between Adachi and Kurosawa.
Episode 4: • October 10th: Tsuge and Rokkaku interrupt the kiss. It is also Tsuge’s birthday. • October 25th: 2 weeks timeskip. Adachi is avoiding Kurosawa. Adachi spends time with Fujisaki. Kurosawa arrives to save the day (lol). Adachi learns of Kurosawa’s insecurities regarding how to go around and help Adachi without burdening him. Adachi decides to help Kurosawa with a client.
Episode 5: • October 25th: Kurosawa thanks Adachi for his help with the client. Adachi is very happy. • October 26th: Adachi spends time with Rokkaku. They see Kurosawa with an unknown woman after work; Rokkaku says that she is probably Kurosawa’s ex. Adachi gets sad and dramatically walks away in the rain. He has a nightmare of Kurosawa having an intimate moment with that woman. • October 27th: Adachi gets sick. He goes to work but is still sad over what happened yesterday. Kurosawa sees that he is not well and tries to help. Adachi gets angry (bc he is jealous) and almost faints but Kurosawa princess carries him (aww). They get on a taxi; unknown woman arrives and takes control.
Episode 6: • October 27th: Adachi learns that the unknown woman is actually Kurosawa’s Onee-san! Him and Kurosawa go back to Adachi’s apartment since Alpha onee-san wants to take Kurosawa’s apartment for a while. Kurosawa spends the night taking care of Adachi. • October 28th: Adachi invites Kurosawa to stay over till onee-san leaves his apartment. But Kurosawa’s “sweet life” fantasies scare Adachi and thus he is trying to avoid Kurosawa at work and going back home together. Rokkaku saves Adachi by inviting himself over for a boys night at Adachi’s house. Kurosawa gets sad, jealous and realizes that being near Adachi is getting harder for him to control his feelings. • October 29th: Kurosawa has already left Adachi’s house. They talk through messages to go back together. As they go towards the station, the atmosphere is awkward. Kurosawa finally confesses that he likes Adachi.
Episode 7: • October 29th: Kurosawa talks more about his feelings; tries to touch Adachi’s cheek but Adachi drops his face. Kurosawa takes that as a rejection and tells Adachi to forget about everything and next time they meet, everything will be back to normal. As he leaves, we see him struggling to hold back tears. • October 30th: Kurosawa’s pov. We see his issues with the objectification he goes through at work and in his relationships. Flashback to a business dinner, 7 years ago (2013), where the client sexually harasses him, and his bosses talk behind his back. Adachi’s kind words about his work and looking vulnerable for the first time, catch Kurosawa off guard and his heart is starting to beat fast. He narrates how easy it was for him to start developing feelings for Adachi since then. We go back to the present (2020): Kurosawa says how he knew that one day he should leave these feelings behind. Meanwhile, Adachi comes to realize that he has liked Kurosawa for a while now. After work, he runs to find Kurosawa and confesses. They hug and walk back to the station, where Kurosawa flirts back with Adachi as the later proposed to go eat dinner.
I may be wrong by one day in the early episodes due to the timeskips but I think I got everything covered. If anyone finds any mistakes, please do say so and I can correct it :)
I am thinking of writing the timeline so far aka how much time has passed from episode 1 till episode 7, the timeskips, dates etc. I have a first draft of it on my mind already so I just need to sit down and write it lol Don't mind me, I just like to have stuff in an organised way and it's something to pass time since I have nothing else to do.
I would like to answer if you don't mind!For your first point: It was on purpose we were not allowed to hear Kurosawa's…
I am not sure I get your first paragraph. So far Adachi has read the thoughts (and we heard them) of all the people he has touched, accidentally or intentionally. There is no need for him to go around and touch everyone, only these characters that the writers feel will be important for the plot.
As for the rest: I get where you are coming from, but I also think it's good to wait and see where it will lead. I am one of the fans who would like to see a kiss between them but it's not a deal breaker for me. It's up to the person how they enjoy a fictional story. I am fine without seeing any sexual thoughts or acts by them, it's fine they way they are. I am sure Kurosawa entertains such thoughts but we haven't heard them (yet?) or the writers are trying to make it more friendly to the viewers; if I am not mistaken Japanese tv series are not known for their NSFW scenes, it's not something they include in their romances.
But to be honest, them having sex or not, is not a big issue for me. As long as they can convince me that they love each other, I am fine. Of course I get why this could come as homophobic to some viewers but so far, to me it doesn't come that way.
OK, there is one thing that's bothering me. They've pretty much dropped Adachi's powers - he didn't even hear…
I would like to answer if you don't mind!
For your first point: It was on purpose we were not allowed to hear Kurosawa's thoughts when he hugged Adachi. Adachi himself said that Kurosawa's feelings were too much, he was overwhelmed himself. And I think part of the point was for us to enjoy a moment of their intimate reunion without having thoughts to disturb the whole thing. It felt more genuine and real like that, but that's my opinion.
For your second point: I get what you are saying but at the end of the day love doesn't have to contain sex. I am sure it will come up at some point, one way or another, but I think it's been obvious so far that the writers and directors just want to show a pure story of love without sexy elements (yet?). Think of it as princess novels that they mostly contain a kiss. Not to say this is a story for kids but it has a similar feeling of "pure romance".
"Perhaps... I became a magic user... so that I can touch his heart".
Adachi's kindness and love knows no boundaries. He wasn't sure if he wanted this power at first because as an introvert and low-profile person, it gave him unnecessary trouble. But as time passed, he came to see people's other sides, their most weak and vulnerable sides that all of us try to hide and put our "social mask" on. And Adachi, from his nature alone, can sympathize and emotionally support someone. This power only amplified that and gave him the chance to show his kindness more. I see it as glasses that help people see the world better, as a medium; how we choose to use that medium is up to us. We can turn a blind eye or decide to help.
Kurosawa's honest feelings reached him. For someone that pinned over Adachi for 7 years, I give it to him. It means how serious and important Adachi's words and support were to Kurosawa that night after the meeting. Yes, Kurosawa's issue is what we can call a "1st world problem" because your looks giving you advantage and complaining about it can seem shallow but what happens when people only objectify you and there is even sexual harassment to deal with? None deserves that, no matter how beautiful they are because at the very base of everything, we are all human beings that at least deserve some respect.
I have said it before, but when Adachi becomes confident my knees get weak lol The love confession was perfect from every aspect: the apologies at first for his late reply (that's so Adachi), to try and rationalize his feelings, to disregarding all that and say what he truly feels; that he likes Kurosawa back. The hug was so sweet, I melted. Kurosawa and Adachi deserve each other, I am really happy for them. And of course Kurosawa flirting at the end was the cherry on top (please give Adachi a break he is not ready you beast lol).
Even though next episode Tsuge crushes their precious first date, we need that Tsuge/Minato development and I am sure Kurosawa and Adachi will have more chances to spend time together. 5 episodes left and I am ready for that "sweet life"!
I hope this is going to turn out really good! I love crime stories already but insert BL and you might hit gold if it's done well. Tbh I am not a fan of Maxtul, both as a fan couple and as actors (pls don't kill me lol), but I see that the director is an experienced one so it looks like this is going to be good. Anyways, the BL scene needs some change from the usual high school/uni setting so I hope working adults does the trick!
