Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 09

This book was OK but somewhat mediocre.

We got some of Kurosawa's sad backstory. it shows that he struggled being himself because he was basically too good looking and perfect for people. As a kid he unintentionally seduced, his friends girlfriend, and in another situation, he cut his hair to appease some business partners so he wouldn't look young. The only person he could be himself around is Adachi.

They celebrate their one year anniversary and go apartment shopping together. It's sweet, but kind of boring. It reminds me of the first volume honestly. Not bad, but nothing to get excited over either. This volume is basically one to tidy up a few loose ends and set the stage for the wedding.

On the plus side, we do get an update on Minato and Tsuge. Last time, Tsuge admitted to Minato that he had “alternative motives“. However, Mito is rushed away and then he ignores Tsuge's texts. He is heartbroken, but understands that his words probably freaked out Minato. Adachi finds out that he's actually left with a dance crew, and one night, Tsuge sees him dancing on the big screen in public. He can't stay away, so he buys him a pair of shoes and drops it off where he was performing. Minato runs to go see him and he apologizes for ignoring him and explains that he wasn't sure what he meant and was too afraid to contact him back. So he did get weirded out. In the end,Tsuge confesses his feelings. He thinks Minato will reject him, so he goes to leave and his chastised for giving up too quickly. They end up hugging, and it ends there.

Their story was the most interesting part of this volume, but still, overall a meh volume.
