Happy Valentine's Adachi and Kurosawa.

Adachi, who was unsure how to respond when suddenly confessed to by Kurosawa, arrived at the office the next day only to find Kurosawa absent on a business trip. After much deliberation, Adachi decided to maintain his relationship with Kurosawa as it had been before. However, thoughts of Kurosawa continued to occupy his mind. Meanwhile, Tsuge realized that the character he had written in his romance novel bore a striking resemblance to Wataya, causing him to spend his days wrestling with his feelings.

I'm so glad we didn't have to endure Adachi avoiding the subject for ages, and we actually got a confession from him too. This episode was all about two 30-year-old guys having serious bouts of gay panic, and I absolutely love that for them. It's nice to see how Minato ended up being Rokkaku's friend, just like he mentioned earlier. It adds another layer to this whole network of people and relationships.

At least we got more stuff with Wataya and Tsuge.

This week's episode was really fun for me personally, better than last week.. Adachi finally made progress.. The 2nd couple is adorable too.. and I also liked Rokkaku when he's being with Kurodachi, kkkkkk. Another excited feeling for the next episode. Kurosawa's personality and character are very soothing.. Ideal..

FINALLY, I was afraid they were going to play this game of chicken for the whole season, but Kurosawa confessed last week and Adachi followed it up today. Now shenenigans can properly begin. Also, I wonder why Adachi has a theory that once he has sex, his power will go away? I hope not...

Either way, happy valentines day!

I like Kurosawa's internal debate. We more or less kept the staus quo as expected, except that we're going on "dates" now. Oh and the Author x Delinquent pairing is funny too.

Best Episode ever to watch on Valentines day today, so happy from the weekly episode being today i feel a long lasting happiness from seeing Adachi confess back to Kurosawa and their love blossoming only growing deeper and deeper the more they learn about each other... i love this anime so far :D i find joy in us getting to know more about the delivery driver Minato whom actually loves dance(tap? or something else like those groups is my guess) and of course the way Furukawa(Masoto?)went about trying to see him again was so funny in a logical yet illogical way xD okay i'm going to stop rambling, how did everyone else feel with this episode? so nice to see the confession and LOVELY PROGRESS! so excited to see more about the date coming up and the pre-date panic from Adachi!~ (i wonder what Kurosawa has planned)

The animation and art style on this is so bad. Characters literally don't look like each other from frame to frame. Amazing Satelight thought this was acceptable animation.

That being said, it's the story that carries this through, and makes it watchable. Although, as every new episode comes out, I imagine the mangaka wanting to hit the screen with every new scene, considering how bad the animation and art style turned out to be.

That was a sweet confession. Though it felt like like Adachi is a little uncertain of himself still.

Kurosawa was cute getting all excited about the date.

I was busy the last couple of days so I finally got time to enjoy my BL content 😌 Poor Adachi has it all wrong with the female coworker yet once again lmaoo but he quickly came to his senses and ran all the way to Kurosawa <3

Kurosawa is such a wholesome guy, he truly cares about Adachi. Uggggh that embrace was beautiful. My stomach dropped so hard, truly :') such a lovely sight. Red rice for the win!! Bruuuh, now the other guy thinks Adachi and Kurosawa are helping him. He's so oblivious, its hilarious. I'm looking forward to next week's date!

The author isn't even opening his packages, only compulsively buying shit. He even changed the FL in his stories to match a description of the Amezon delivery guy. Does the power also make you gay/bi? Woooah, what a small world! The delivery guy's friend is that one coworker that Kurosawa is jealous of!

Goodhandle lmaooo

Oh I've already watched that and, yep, probably one of the worst I've watched, and I've seen a helluva lot of anime :)

I liked the story though, as the manga is one of my recent favorites, so I didn't downrate it as much as others. But yep, the animation was incredibly amateurish.

Feel so sorry for the mangaka every time I see one of these though, as they must be so excited to get an anime adaptation only to be presented with... what the hell is this???? :)

It's a real shame for Cherry Magic, as the manga is wonderful and one of my all-time favorite BL stories. Plus the live action drama series was so well done (highly recommend it if you haven't watched it yet, and like live action adaptations -- it was perfectly cast too). Hate to think how much Yuu Toyota (the mangaka) is disappointed with how the anime turned out tho.

I presumed it was going to be poorly done though since I saw the first trailer, as the characters just looked "off". First episode of the anime, and it was obvious just a few minutes in how second-rate it was going to turn out, as Kurosawa and Adachi looked like different people from scene to scene :)

The story, the characters and the voice acting are carrying it though, so I'm still enjoying it immensely.

So Minato is Rokkaku's friend? It's nice how they are all tied together!

Otherwise, I'm happy Kurosawa and Adachi are a couple now. Maybe this can push some more interesting plot strings.

And Fujiwara is a creep. She didn't need to be this crazy in an otherwise calm and wholesome anime.

With Kurosawa out on a business trip, Adachi is having a problem responding to his feelings. And Fujisaki is experiencing last-minute altercations so severe that Adachi provides his help to her. But being the Fujoshi fanatic that she is, Adachi is able to listen to her feelings as well, and if he wasn't attached to Kurosawa, he could very well be attached to her, lose both his virginity and Cherry Magic power. But the various days and nights where they've been together, Kurosawa feels the need for him all the more, even if Adachi confesses to Fujisaki one day. Through all of his denial however, Adachi sought the part of his heart that with every physical touch, he adores Kurosawa all the more, and confirms his feelings for him, amidst the fear and resentment.

Thereafter, it's business as usual wthout all of the misunderstanding, though she pushes the Adachi-Kurosawa dynamic even more as a hardcore Fujoshi. That said, with Rokkaku always mixed in the midst between the two, his misunderstanding was thankfully contrived into improving his work performance. For Tsuge, Wataya is beginning to make his heart beat all the more, even as he is moonlighting between jobs as a backup dancer, though his shoes have been giving way each and every time.

The first date between men is happening...though Kurosawa is anticipating and Adachi is overpreparing.
