Cherry Magic is a popular Japanese graphic novel that has gained a significant following both in Japan and internationally. The story revolves around a shy and introverted office worker named Kurosawa who possesses the ability to read people's thoughts by touching them. However, he discovers that he is unable to read the thoughts of the new employee, Adachi, who happens to have a crush on him. As they navigate their feelings for each other, Kurosawa begins to realize that he may not need his supernatural powers to understand the emotions of others. The main idea of Cherry Magic is the exploration of love and relationships, particularly through the lens of supernatural abilities. The story delves into themes of self-acceptance, communication, and the complexities of human emotions.
Book two, Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews was an amazing continuation of this series. It had a “meaty” plot that drove the interactions between the characters. Andrews created the most delicious sexual tension I have EVER experienced. I was writhing in anticipation by the end; can Kate just get a little action?? Speaking of action, there is also a completely different kind of action in this book, and it was non-stop. I LOVE fight to the deaths and Andrews delivered. My heart is still racing from all the action. As a character, Kate is slowly unraveled before us exposing the secrets she keeps and why she keeps them. I loved her secrets and I loved that she fought to keep them a secret but was still human enough to want an ordinary life. The only issue I had with the series so far is every problem turned into “IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!” This plot device can be overdone and desensitize readers. At one point, I found myself annoyed that every fight determined the fate of the world. I’d appreciate a little more reality in that aspect of the books. Overall, it’s still a great book.
But when her werewolf friend Derek is dying in human form, from attack by the mysterious Reaper team at the Midnight Games, she and Curran, the Beast Lord, must fight together to win the Wolf Diamond topaz and save his Pack and her friends. This is a pure fan boy, passion project of mine; but the community often seems on board to help with this kind of thing, and maybe this will be useful to other fans or story tellers.
The story delves into themes of self-acceptance, communication, and the complexities of human emotions. It also challenges societal norms and expectations surrounding love, as Kurosawa and Adachi navigate their non-traditional relationship. Through its engaging storytelling and relatable characters, Cherry Magic has captured the hearts of readers who enjoy both romance and supernatural elements in their graphic novels.

Also, in the elimination round before the finals, not all seven must participate in every match. So, different combinations of roles and abilities come into play. Part of that is the Stratego's job to sort out. A team must have four surviving fighters to stay in the games. A Stone, presumably the BIG (and strong/tough?) fighter, may still fight with a sword or be preternaturally fast, but he/she's always the team Stone.

Reviews for "Cherry Magic Graphic Novels: A Cinematic Experience in Book Form"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Cherry Magic" graphic novel, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The artwork was beautiful, but the story lacked depth and originality. I found the characters to be cliché and superficial, and the dialogue felt forced at times. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent, with some chapters dragging on while others felt rushed. Overall, it left me feeling disappointed and unengaged.
2. Mike - 2.5 stars - While the premise of "Cherry Magic" seemed intriguing, I was ultimately let down by the execution. The story felt predictable and lacked any real surprises. The main character's transformation was portrayed in a superficial way, and I didn't find myself emotionally invested in his journey. The romantic relationship between the two main characters also felt rushed and underdeveloped. I wished there was more exploration of their individual struggles and character growth. Overall, I found the graphic novel to be forgettable and not worth the hype.
3. Sarah - 3 stars - As a fan of the original manga series, I was excited to delve into the "Cherry Magic" graphic novel adaptation. However, I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed. While the art style remained faithful to the manga, I felt that some of the charm and humor of the original series was lost in translation. Additionally, the pacing felt off, with certain chapters feeling rushed and others dragging on. While it was enjoyable to revisit the story and characters, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. Overall, it was a decent adaptation but didn't quite capture the magic of the original series.
4. Alex - 2 stars - I had heard great things about "Cherry Magic," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The plot felt overly simplistic and lacked any real depth or complexity. The characters' actions and motivations were often unclear, and I found it difficult to connect with them on an emotional level. The pacing was also inconsistent, with important moments being glossed over while irrelevant scenes were given too much focus. Overall, I found the graphic novel to be underwhelming and forgettable.
