I feel foolish, knowing the societal position where I'm slotted by age, etc., gushing about manga at all, much less BL manga, but THIS IS TOO DAMN CUTE! I watched the anime, took a peek at (one) of the live action series, trying to avoid laying out the money to buy the books because they just aren't available via my library, but being up to my ears in the utter cuteness of this, the sweetness, the angst, the humor, and the importance of tiny stories like this, I succumbed. I'm over budget because I just have to see the next volume. I squee and make my husband look, for f*'s sake. I'm in grandmother territory age wise, but haven't yet achieved the supreme indifference of being a crone, so I'm self conscious about gushing so much, but I'm gushing.

And I'm glad I bought them, because while I'm trying to hold off on buying the next issue (it's a mixed blessing that the series is well advanced but still ongoing, so I can fill in the waiting for new issues with current ones while waiting to see how and if the series ends). I've long pondered the various reasons females like m/m romance so much, and I have theories, lots of theories. I've checked out lots of them, some of which were just pure porn (kinda boring, honestly) and some which are completely shy of the issue at hand (boring in a different way, and somewhat cowardly). Cherry Magic is hitting the sweet spot in between those extremes.

I'll admit it. I'm a fujoshi. I blame it on Star Trek:TOS.… (más)
