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.
Loveable characters: No

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.
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

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.
