Episode 6 is the best episode so far! Both boys talked about the heavy burden they have to carry in their lives and how that shaped them: Karl had to live his older's brother life who died and Vlad become a child to "save" an already ruined marriage, but even as his father's favourite, it was already too late.

Thus, I want to say this: I get people want to become parents because they love children. But never become a parent because you need children for your own selfish reasons: you will always tell them what their "duty" is for being born and make them unhappy. And even if you don't say anything, the way you look at them, treat them, your silence, everything can be felt by children and they will continue to carry that for the rest of their lives. I am not saying that you have to be perfect, none is and of course none is born to be a parent, we learn and become one. So, if you have the option to have a child do it because you love them and want to see a baby grow up to be a good human :)

Heavy stuff aside, the episode was really well done. Karl took up the courage to face his parents, especially his dad, about his decision to change courses and Vlad had a bittersweet moment with his sister, Jutid, regarding LGBTQ+ issues and acceptance. All that came to a conclusion of Karl dancing how he really felt like (the iconic moment of opening the closet and then dancing), the kiss with Vlad and the cuddles on bed. Really wholesome and cute stuff. Two episodes remain and I hope we won't get any last-minute drama haha

P.S.: The OST is amazing!

2 Moons series really is cursed. They should just stop at this point.

I remember reading about the group thing a few months ago but since I don't really follow actors' stuff and what's going on very closely, I didn't pay attention. But it seems that now is a final decision and reading Earth's twitter post, some stuff here and on reddit, I am glad he got to leave behind this awful company. He deserves better, both as a person and an actor.

I am not sure if I am going to watch the new season now. When companies get exposed over their unfair and bad treatment of actors and staff, it makes me sad and angry. Of course, I don't legally support the series so it's not like me watching or not makes a difference, but I wonder how it will fair now. All I can say is best luck to the rest of the actors.

I really hope Pearl is not going to use Alex to get to Karleen. It's obvious that Karleen is jealous, because no matter how much she is trying to deny that she feels something for Pearl because of her "no dating bi/pan women", it's there when she heard of Alex. So, since Pearl's heart still beats for her, sometimes this makes people make dumb decisions and hurt others in the process.

I love Alex, she is so precious and I like how free-spirited, honest, joyful and flirty she is. I don't mind Karleen but she has stuff to work on first and the way she guilty-tripped Pearl for friendship is something I dislike. Of course we need drama in stories, so we can't have perfect characters and nice relationships, thus whatever the outcome might be, I hope all 3 girls learn something from this.

Enough times to have Kurosawa appear in my dreams and me going o///o. I think my brain is trying to tell me something but I refuse to acknowledge it!

I hope we see them in casual wear soon. They are going to look soft and uwuwu

I found this randomly on twitter:

Don't mind me, I just have many feels.

So, it's even worse lmao I changed it to N4 now, it should be fine.

Oh I had the ENG levels on my head when I wrote this. I totally forgot about the JPN level system lol Sorry for the confusion, maybe I should change it ^^;

Not at "Cherry Magic" trending #5 in Thai twitter against itsay and two BL pairings that did a live lol

As for the episode: My N4 level of Japanese barely helped me but I got the gist of what happened (and also thanks to twitter). I really like when BL stories don't make the female characters as the "bad" ones. Fujisaki-san seems like a great girl and I hope she and Adachi can become friends :)

Next episode jealous Adachi, yes please!

Those big ass titles are a thing in Japanese media. I have seen them many times in their LNs (eg. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru). It usually indicates a funny story but not always.

You are welcome!

I apologize if you are tired of seeing my comments here but I wanted to bring some good news.

First, the manga got #3 place in the Japanese poll "Best Web Manga 2020". Yuu Toyota's tweet: https://twitter.com/toyotayou/status/1321682841910956034

And second, "Cherry Magic" TV Drama will be officially available in Taiwan and Thailand! Tweet: https://twitter.com/BLUPDATE2020/status/1321730715717758976?s=20 I hope this means that they are working for an ENG release (youtube subs or through a platform) for the rest of us international fans :)

Wait, they kissed? *doubt* But yeah, I get Adachi is shaken up. This is all new to him, overwhelmingly so, and he doesn't know how to react. I would feel the same. And that summary explains why he is hiding under his office desk and Kurosawa looks sad ;o;

From the official twitter account: https://twitter.com/tx_cherimaho/status/1321663819173687296?s=19

Ahh that pic of Adachi for the new episode... He is hiding under his desk, and looks so small and cute, I want to protect! Kurosawa looks concerned/sad, so I wonder what happened. 10 more hours, this is torture.

I saw it! Gosh, I can't wait to see the "Princess carry" in episode 5. How are we going to survive a hug or a kiss? Imagining Kurosawa and Adachi hugging each other is giving me butterflies huhu

Yeah, in the manga, at least that moment, it made me think that Adachi is not only aware of Kurosawa's feelings but also returns them somehow. Which in the drama they are taking it more slow, having Adachi being uncertain about the situation and his own feelings. He is still taking time to get to know Kurosawa but he is not always sure about what is the right thing to do. But as the other two users said, it works better in the drama for the reasons mentioned above.

Thanks for replying, even though you haven't read the manga. I was curious to see how other fans see the change ^^

It's fine so far, although I find the moments between tension/searching and slice-of-life, a bit jarring sometimes. Tbh, the romance part annoys me and I think it's not needed for the story but that's up to the person, I see others here who like it. I am most interested in LJS as a character so far.

Also, what's up with the makeup on SYR? I get she is the female lead and portrayed by Krystal but come on. It's not like she needs the makeup as a soldier in a dangerous mission. Simple is better sometimes.

Yes, I definitely see what you mean by hot-and-cold attitude. It seems that the writers will take their time to develop Adachi's feelings and response towards Kurosawa, which makes me excited to see. And I like what you say about Manga Adachi=Shy but Drama Adachi=Pure ^^

Thanks for the reply! Nice to see other pov of the scene.
P.S.: Your Sawako PP is so cute! "Kimi no Todoke" is such a cute story.

"He wanted to understand Kurosawa but wasn't sure if it meant he wants to be kissed or not" I think this sentence sums it up pretty well. Indeed, as you said, Adachi in the live-action is not sure about how to react to these new feelings yet, hasn't unidentified them completely; he just knows that he doesn't dislike Kurosawa, the feelings Kurosawa holds for him and he is starting to feel something too, but still uncertainty holds his mind.

Thanks for the reply. I find it interesting when fans can come together and talk about stuff like that. It makes the series more enjoyable for me :)
