Cherry Magic Timeline [Final Update]
I completed the "Cherry Magic Timeline". Latest update on 02/02/2021, Episode 12. A big thank you to @Foreigner for their help with the whole timeline, from start to finish.
Info:
Episodes 1 – 7 take place during the month of October. We can prove that by:
- Adachi’s calendar on the wall (it says 10)
- The timeskips are 3 weeks in total
- Kurosawa mentioned “October 28th” in episode 6
Episode 8 onward is November. Proof:
- Adachi's calendar on the wall changes from 10 to 11
- The events take place within the time frame of November 8th to November 17th. Thus, since it's not easy to make accurate statements of the exact dates in some scenes, me and Foreigner went with some speculated dates in that episode. Some scenes are easy to find but others not so much. Please take this into consideration while reading.
Episode 11 (Foreigner):
- Adachi and Tsuge scene: We don't have any concrete evidence here, but I assume that this happens the day before the following scene. Adachi must have wanted to start his no-touching experiment right after talking to Tsuge, right?
- Presentation day: Calendar (December 21st)
Episode 12 (Foreigner)
- Day after the break up: Calendar (December 22nd)
- 3 days timeskip: Calendar (December 24th)

Arriving at the office building, he gets into the elevator with others and the popular colleague, Kurosawa. Due to push-and-pull inside the elevator, Adachi learns of Kurosawa’s feelings for him. Adachi stays more hours that day to write Urabe's report. Kurosawa decides to help him. As they exit the building, Kurosawa gives Adachi his scarf so he won't get cold and asks Adachi if he would like to stay over for the night since the trains have stopped.

Tsuge is excited to share with Adachi the details of his new love life as well as reassuring Adachi that "his day" will come in regards to losing his power.

They go to the amusement park and have fun until Adachi gets sick on the "Viking" ride. Adachi sees that Kurosawa is not looking happy and decides to read his mind in order to find out why.
- November 17th: Deadline of the competition. We see Adachi exiting the competition's office door and finding Kurosawa back from a business trip. Adachi asks him if he has time after work: they go to a bookstore to buy the new "Ragna Crimson" manga volume and later to a restaurant for dinner. There we see that both become a little more honest with their feelings and thoughts regarding their relationship and expectations of each other. The discussion ends on a happy note as they both laugh. They walk back together while holding hands but accidentally Adachi replies to Kurosawa's thoughts about their Christmas date. It's there that he realizes that this can't go on since none likes to have their minds read by someone else. Just before Kurosawa can complete his thought of "If he really read my mind, I. " Adachi takes his hand away from Kurosawa's, making up the excuse of trying to find his phone. The episode ends with Adachi thinking that if he tells Kurosawa about his mind reading power, thing will never be the same again between them.
- December 13th (?): Tsuge and Adachi meet at a cafe and Tsuge tells Adachi not to rely on his magic too much.
- December 21st: Day of the presentation. Adachi accidentally hears the thoughts of Mrs. Terashima, who is responsible for the competition, on the elevator. She quickly dismisses Adachi during his presentation but Adachi doesn't back down and instead uses the knowledge he got from her thoughts. He exits the room and Kurosawa is waiting for him. Terashima finds them and announces to Adachi that he didn't pass in the second round but she liked his presentation. Adachi is filled with guilt as he broke the promise to himself about using not using magic. He and Kurosawa have a dinner at Kurosawa's apartment to celebrate Adachi's presentation. There Adachi still feels bad about the whole thing while simultaneously hears Kurosawa's worries. Not being able to take it anymore, he indirectly asks Kurosawa to teach him "that". Kurosawa is surprised but also happy to kiss Adachi. As he is leaning for the kiss, Adachi can hear Kurosawa's thought and his guilt, explodes. He pushes Kurosawa away, apologizes immediately and then reveals to Kurosawa that he can read people's thoughts for some time now. Kurosawa believes him but Adachi's guilt and low self-confidence are too much at the moment and he is not sure what to do with their relationship; thus Kurosawa proposes to Adachi is they want to break up, as a way to make Adachi feel less conflicted about the whole thing. Adachi accepts Kurosawa's proposal and leaves; end scene is Kurosawa still kneeling in front of Adachi's empty now chair.
- December 22nd: The day after they broke up. "My life has completely gone back to the way it was" - Adachi.
- December 24th: It's Christmas Eve. Adachi has been feeling very down since that night at Kurosawa's place. We can see his apartment is a mess and he doesn't take care of himself. Tsuge goes to Adachi's place: they go to a cafe and Tsuge knocks some sense into Adachi regarding relationships and feelings. Adachi decides that Tsuge is right and needs to come clean to Kurosawa about his feelings and thoughts. Then we see a scene of Adachi running with a bicycle accross the city, that was shown at the beginning of episode 1, trying to find the place Kurosawa wanted them to see the fireworks (despite the fireworks being cancelled that day for safety reasons). Adachi reaches the rooftop waiting to find Kurosawa but he is not there. While still waiting, Kurosawa appears. Adachi is able to voice his feelings to Kurosawa and tells him that he wants to be together with him. Kurosawa hugs him and proposes to Adachi using pens since he thought that using rings would be too much for the shy Adachi. Adachi accepts and in that moment they see fireworks: Fujisaki and Rokkaku decided to light some fireworks to lighten up the mood on Christmas Eve (even though Fujisaki knew about Kurosawa's plan and was ready in any case hehe). As Adachi and Kurosawa watch the fireworks, Adachi tells him that he with magic or not, it doesn't matter and wants to be together with Kurosawa so he is willing to lose his power.
- December 25th(?): Adachi and Kurosawa wake up in the same bed that morning in Kurosawa's apartment. It's heavily implied that they had sex and Adachi lost his magic (per the urban legend's saying) which is later confirmed by Adachi's narration: Adachi walking on the street thinking "this is how I lost my magic", Adachi in the elevator, Adachi and Kurosawa using their pens at work, Kurosawa's teasing. The final scene is them at the elevator: they are leaning in to kiss each other, as the doors are closing

Reviews for "The Exedy Mascot TM: Inspiring a New Generation of Automotive Enthusiasts"
1. John - 2 stars:
I purchased the Exedy mascot tm and was extremely disappointed with its performance. The mascot did not provide the advertised level of entertainment and simply felt like a waste of money. The design and construction were also subpar, as the material felt cheap and easily breakable. Overall, I would not recommend the Exedy mascot tm to others.
2. Lisa - 1 star:
I really had high hopes for the Exedy mascot tm, but it turned out to be a complete letdown. The mascot's movements were stiff and unnatural, making it difficult to engage with. Additionally, the sound quality was poor, making it hard to understand the mascot's speech. The construction and durability were also major issues, as the mascot's limbs easily broke off after minimal use. Save your money and look for a different mascot option.
3. Michael - 2 stars:
The Exedy mascot tm was a huge disappointment. The advertised features did not deliver, and the overall performance was lackluster. The mascot's movements were jerky and lacked fluidity, making it difficult to create an engaging experience. The durability of the mascot was also a concern, as it started showing signs of wear and tear after just a few uses. I regret purchasing the Exedy mascot tm and would advise others to choose a different option.
4. Sarah - 1 star:
I was really excited to have the Exedy mascot tm at our event, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. The mascot's costume was poorly made, with visible stitching and frayed edges. The movements were clumsy and lacked coordination, which was not appealing to the audience. The overall quality and performance were subpar, and I would not recommend the Exedy mascot tm to anyone looking for a professional and entertaining mascot experience.
5. David - 2 stars:
The Exedy mascot tm failed to meet my expectations. The movements were stiff and lacked precision, making the mascot appear awkward. The costume itself was poorly designed and made with cheap materials, resulting in a less than desirable appearance. Additionally, the mascot's speech was muffled and barely audible, further detracting from the overall experience. I would suggest exploring other mascot options before settling for the Exedy mascot tm.
