This hits hard. I don't feel very good when someone outdoes me in something I take pride in, and it's always without malicious intent so I feel even worse for feeling bad. It's just something I pretend doesn't happen in the hopes that one day I'll be confident in my own skills.

I fucking love this show.

This is an interesting anime. I started watching it because it kind of reminded me of Kyokou Suiri and so far I'm liking it.

eldritch_lich OP ,

I started watching Cherry Magic on a whim and I wasn't really expecting much, but wow it completely blew me away! It didn't suffer from a lot of the frustrating romance clichés and I actually think I like this subgenre of romance.

I can't really think of any other shows that are similar. Maybe "Netjuu no Susume" is similar but nothing else comes to mind.

I've added the manga to my library since it seems like it's still ongoing. It's possible that they intentionally scripted the anime to have a nice ending without loose ends since it's unlikely to get a season 2, but I actually like that. The anime is a nice self-contained story that I think anyone who likes romance shows can enjoy.

Also when I was picking a screenshot, I came to my senses and realised that the one I originally picked was a huge spoiler lol. Good thing I realised before posting.

It's a bit different from the source material but honestly I actually like that Alicia's character got a glow up. "Game force" feels a bit like a cop out but based on the events of volume 3, I have a theory.

I'm not sure how likely a season 2 is but there are a lot of scenes that I really want to see animated.

I haven't yet gotten around to reading volume 4, and I might give the manga a try if it's following the new plot with Alicia.

Also that moment between Yumiella and Patrick was soo cute ❤️

Spoilers for light novel volume 3

I doubt that the reasoning for Alicia losing control is going to just be "because game system" because that would be way too lazy. I wouldn't say that the series is all that detailed but that would be way too stupid. It's very likely that the god of evil is to blame for Alicia losing control. I suppose we just have to wait and see. I'm excited!

The voice acting at the end there really sent me lol.

Depending on how they handle the changes to the new plot, the "game plot" control might be addressed later in the story. If the manga is following these changes, we might actually get to see it even if we never get a season 2. At the very least, I don't think the demon lord cursing Alicia would be very in character for him and would probably invalidate a lot of his characterization.

I've read up to volume 3 and I'm going to start reading volume 4 soon when I actually find time. This has been a blast honestly and I'm also really happy that there were enough people who enjoyed the series that I could have these discussion threads here!

I agree that there should have been more foreshadowing about the game plot driving force but apart from that I actually like the changes to Alicia's character. When I read the LN I really felt like it was a bit absurd that Alicia would act on her fear of Yumiella and that ended up making me feel like she was ultimately an uninteresting character.

As for the foil, I think Patrick fills that role pretty well imo, and the contrast only gets funnier as the story progresses.

It hit me like a Yumiella Punch so, the stratosphere probably

eldritch_lich OP ,

I almost dropped it at chapter 1. Glad I kept reading.
