Cherry Magic is a bl manga series about a 30 year old named Adachi who acquires the ability to read the minds of others by touching them after his birthday because he’s a virgin and discovers one of his coworkers has a crush on him (weird premise I know). I have to admit that this manga series is challenging for me. Don’t get me wrong I still enjoy it and plan to finish it. But, like with a lot of books when I start to feel second hand embarrassment it becomes a struggle to continue reading. I’m hoping that the farther I get into this series the more I’ll enjoy it.

As for this volume it took me nearly 3 hours to get through this which is pretty normal for me with this series as I tend to read a chunk, put it down and repeat until it’s finished. There were quite a few scenes that I found adorable and made me smile which happens with every volume and is the reason I continue to read them. The good continues to outweigh the embarrassment but I’m glad I’m borrowing these from the library.

I was expecting a little more from this volume since it’s the final one. The artwork was great and the story kept me captivated but I’m glad I borrowed these volumes from the library as I don’t know if I’d read this again.

I feel like the farther I get into this series the more I’m going to enjoy it. I’m looking forward to reading the rest that’s out.

I’m interested but I’m not fully sold on this yet.

I soft dnf’ed this for almost two months because Ginny annoyed me so much and to be honest I had no plans to pick this back up but I decided I would finish the last ten chapters just to say I finished the book. I ended up enjoying the last part but if I read this without the break from it I don’t think I would have rated this higher than one and a half stars.

The premise sold me but I feel like this should have been longer to better expand everything so it could leave a bigger impact. I just wanted to know so much more than what was given.

I’m honestly so glad this was my introduction to the Halo books and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of them.

Sadly, this isn’t a five-star read for me but by the end, I was having a good time. Even though this included one of my least favourite tropes, and to be honest I feel like this gives off the vibe of the author trying to write about new characters but, then getting sucked back into old ones which I usually wouldn’t have a problem with but, the fact that if the names and some minor moments were changed I wouldn’t even think it was a sequel isn’t great.

That being said if this wasn’t a sequel I would have most likely rated this five stars. This just didn’t feel like Wes and Liz. And the ending I needed like another fifty to a hundred pages.

As a sequel this is  a 2.5 but because I feel like I would rate it higher if those things were changed I’m going to go with a 3.5 although I might change my mind on that when I let it sit longer.

Changed it.

I just finished my first prompt for Halloween-a-thon and I love the idea of this book. But, this sadly wasn’t the 5 star I predicted it was going to be. I wasn’t a fan of how it played out. I couldn’t help but want more of everything by the end as I was left feeling like it was rushed and only scratched the surface of what it could have become. That being said this is a prequel so maybe reading what is now considered to be the sequel will go over better for me.

The take on zombies was cool but like I said earlier I just wanted more.
