"Cherry Magic Live Action" is a Japanese television drama series that aired from December 2020 to February 2021. It is based on the popular manga series "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!" by Yuu Toyota. The drama stars actor Ryusei Yokohama as the protagonist Kurosawa Yuji, and actress Hinako Sakurai as the love interest Adachi Kurosawa. The story revolves around the life of Kurosawa Yuji, a 30-year-old office worker who discovers that he has the power to read people's minds for as long as he maintains physical contact with them. This newfound ability proves to be both a blessing and a curse for Yuji, as it allows him to better understand people's feelings and intentions, but also exposes him to their most intimate thoughts and secrets. One day, Yuji accidentally touches his colleague Adachi Kurosawa's hand, only to discover that she has a crush on him.
In this stage greeting, Akaso Eiji (Adachi), Machida Keita (Kurosawa), Asaka Kodai (Tsuge), Goto Yutaro (Minato), Kusakawa Takuya (Rokkaku), Sato Ryo (Fujisaki Nozomi), Tanaka Suzunosuke (Urabe Kengo), and director Kazama Hiroki were all in attendance. The stage greeting was mostly an acknowledgement of continued support, a few asides about filming the movie, the differences between filming the movie and drama, a question about whose character you would want to try if you could, and a final moment of Akaso Eiji doing selfies with the cast and audience to conclude. At 30 minutes I was pretty impressed about how generous they were with their commentary. It was a pleasant surprise that Machida Keita was in attendance, he had contracted COVID fairly recently so it wasn’t known if he would recover in time to attend.
In this stage greeting, Akaso Eiji Adachi , Machida Keita Kurosawa , Asaka Kodai Tsuge , Goto Yutaro Minato , Kusakawa Takuya Rokkaku , Sato Ryo Fujisaki Nozomi , Tanaka Suzunosuke Urabe Kengo , and director Kazama Hiroki were all in attendance. With the standard expectations that men marry women, and both of them are eligible bachelors by most standards Will Adachi and Kurosawa s respective families accept their relationship, or not.
One day, Yuji accidentally touches his colleague Adachi Kurosawa's hand, only to discover that she has a crush on him. Shocked and unsure of how to handle this revelation, Yuji decides to keep it a secret and tries to navigate their evolving relationship while dealing with his own insecurities and fears. As the story unfolds, Yuji and Adachi's bond deepens, and they confront various challenges and obstacles together.

Reviews for "A Magical Romance: Analyzing the Love Story in Cherry Magic's Live Action Adaptation"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really excited to watch the live action adaptation of "Cherry Majic," but I was ultimately disappointed. The storyline seemed rushed and poorly developed, with many crucial elements missing from the original anime. The acting was also subpar, with awkward line delivery and lack of chemistry between the main characters. The special effects were mediocre at best, and the fight scenes lacked the intensity and excitement that I was expecting. Overall, "Cherry Majic Live Action" fell flat and failed to capture the magic of the original anime.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I couldn't believe how poorly executed "Cherry Majic Live Action" was. The script was filled with clichés and predictable plot twists, making the entire movie feel like a cheap imitation of other fantasy films. The casting choices were also questionable, with actors who lacked the charisma and depth needed to bring these beloved characters to life. The CGI effects were unimpressive and at times laughable, which further detracted from the overall experience. As a fan of the original anime, I was deeply disappointed by this lackluster adaptation.
3. David - 2 stars
"Cherry Majic Live Action" was a major letdown for me. The pacing of the film was all over the place, with scenes rushing by without allowing for proper character development or emotional investment. The plot was convoluted and confusing, and it felt like multiple storylines were mashed together without coherence. The fight sequences were poorly choreographed and lacked any real excitement. Overall, the live action version of "Cherry Majic" failed to capture the essence of the anime and left me feeling unsatisfied.
4. Emily - 3 stars
While I didn't hate "Cherry Majic Live Action," I found it to be a mediocre adaptation. The movie had potential, but it fell short in so many aspects. The acting was average, with some performances being better than others, but overall, the actors failed to fully embody their characters. The special effects were hit or miss, with some scenes looking impressive, while others appeared cheap and unconvincing. The storyline lacked originality and depth, relying heavily on tropes and clichéd plotlines. As a fan of the anime, I expected more from this live action adaptation.
