Turns Out My Online Friend is My Real-Life Boss! 3 by Nmura
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hashimoto is clearly making an effort to be more assertive, at least when he isn't nearly panicking himself into an early grave over his lack of ability to measure up to being a good enough boyfriend. Oddly, it seems Shirase has these sames worries, though he's much better at hiding them most of the time. It is hilarious that they run into Kumada senior during their trip together, and while understandable that Shirase wanted to get out of there quick, might have resolved a lot of misconceptions had he stuck around until Hashimoto showed up again. Likewise, Kumada's younger brother probably could have proven his claims a bit more had he handed his phone to his friend for evidence or gone on speaker if they were at an apartment and not in public. It will also be curious to see if they ever figure out these past tie-ins with the umbrella and if we ever learn who this Makoto is or was and he shows up to join this odd group as well - just hopefully with slightly less misunderstanding and chaos.

Oh my goodness. Just when it looks like the boys have sorted everything out, Kumada's older brother shows up and manages to somehow make everything even more confusing with his misunderstandings and vague assumptions. It looks like the roller coaster isn't over yet, but hopefully the boys are able to get things straightened back out again soon, especially since they're all in the game and work together, though the older Kumada doesn't know anyone's game avatar except for Hashimoto. Hashimoto is also still rather dense, but it's clear that he's trying and does care. He's super awkward sometimes with Shirase, but somehow it looks like overall they're on the same page at least when it comes to their relationship. Now if the boys could only stop jumping to the wrong conclusions and untangle this weird web of comedy they've ended up entangled in before it goes even further.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Tsuge is as awkward as ever in his relationship with Minato, though he really does mean well. It's hilarious that he goes to Adachi and Kurosawa for advice, though given Adachi is the only other person he's known with these same abilities and most likely the only same sex couple he knows, it makes sense why he turns to them for advise, especially given how much they seem to have accomplished together. This does seem to spark some small worry given not everyone at the company is aware of their situation and certain higher ups are pushing them to "move on and make an honest woman" out of their ring partners - if only they knew. This woman manager seems like she could be problematic as well, though we haven't seen any insight into their discussion yet other than her using Adachi as a lure to force Kurosawa to listen to her. With Tsuge potentially losing his power soon as well it will be interesting to see how things change for these couples and if the focus will remain on them only or if a new character will be introduced with this ability given the series title. While I can't find anything on a next volume release yet, it is hard to see this as the end of the series given the number of open ends and questions yet unresolved.

Hashimoto is so oblivious it's hilarious. Fortunately, Shirase is understanding and even seems to find this to be part of Hashimoto's charm, though it causes more than a few misunderstandings and let downs along the way. Add in the declarations and confusion from Kumada, and this turns into almost as much of a comedy as it does a romance. It will be interesting to see how things develop now that Hashimoto has committed to trying to have a real romantic relationship. Just what will that mean to him, especially after so long focusing on just the game and their friendly interactions? He sure jumped from 0 to 100 with that declaration at the end. It's a good thing Shirase is learning to read him, though it would be hilarious to see what happens if they do take that step forward.

Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You A Wizard?! (2024)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Though there is only one season in the anime, it covers a lot of the same ground as the manga, so fans of the original books will still recognize the series. The manga has since gone on beyond the point of this season, but they round out the main story well where we focus on Adachi and Kurosawa. We do see the foundation of Tsuge's relationship with Minato as well, though not as in depth in some ways as in the manga. The art is consistent as well, which is a big plus in the anime. There are even small details, like how Adachi's eyes are covered more in the beginning and when he's uncertain of himself, but as he grows comfortable in his relationship with Kurosawa, both of his eyes show consistently and clearly. It's a small detail, but is an interesting potential outward sign of his emotional state at the same time.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This new Tachibana seems like he could be trouble, though it's curious if his story truly does so closely mirror Adachi's or if he's going off stereotypes just to try and hit on him. Poor Adachi is as clueless as ever, but he does catch on and tries in his own awkward way to work things out. Fortunately, Kurosawa understands very well just how clueless Adachi is, not that he's leaving any openings for Tachibana if he can help it. There is a very brief scene with Adachi's friends, but otherwise the majority of the story focuses on Adachi and Tachibana, with of course a healthy dose of Kurosawa to balance things out and cement their relationship. There may be more trouble brewing though with this woman at the bar.

My rating: 3 of 5 starsThis series is still adorable, but there's less overall progress in the story for this volume. What progress is made is with Tsuge's relationship, after he seems rather desperate for Adachi and Kurosawa's help given how they successfully navigated Adachi's abilities. It's understandable Minato would have a very different reaction as both of them are very different people, and Tsuge didn't exactly do a great job of explaining everything to start with. We get a bit of a reverse story highlight as well with what things may have looked like if Kurosawa were the wizard instead of Adachi when their relationship hadn't yet started, though Kurosawa is still head over heels in this version with Adachi is adorably clueless.

A Man & His Cat 1
A Man & His Cat 1 by Umi Sakurai
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a cute little tale told from multiple points of view, including the cat's. It starts rather sad with a lonely cat growing from a kitten watching all the other kittens get adopted while he remains alone behind his windows. It seems one worker there had taken a liking to him, but for the most part, he is often sad and overlooked. At least until the man comes into the store and the two seem nearly inseparable ever since. It's rather amazing to think about what these two might get into and the emotions that must be pulled in given how many volumes there already are in this series. We even get stories from co-workers and friends as we piece together their tales and how these two came together. Honestly, the emotional story and the art deserve more stars, it's just a tad slow as a story overall which can make it easy to walk away and come back as needed rather than devouring it as quickly as possible.

While it seems Kurosawa makes it through his challenges okay thanks to Adachi and the rest of their coworkers, Tsuge isn't having as much luck. The drama adaptation is good news, but it seems like Minato's jealousy may stem from some past relationship experience that went badly, and he's not so willing to take the whole magic thing well as Kurosawa was when Adachi told him. Hopefully the two can talk and at least sort things out to be friendly again, but it's not looking good at the moment. A little surprising we don't have a scene with Tsuge going to Adachi for advice about it, though maybe that's just because he knows things obviously worked out for Adachi with Kurosawa and that he did tell him.

It seems the housing hunt is still on, and any big travel plans are on hold, but Adachi and Kurosawa still find ways to celebrate and be together. They even set up a double date with Tsuge and Minato to help them out. Seems like Tsuge may be running into some of the same challenges that Adachi and Kurosawa did at first, especially where Tsuge is relying on the magic and not really communicating with Minato directly. Kurosawa may have some new challenges as well with this new project that is keeping them close to home.

Well the cat is out of the bag at least to their closest friends and coworkers, and we get the wedding. Tsuge and Minato seem to be settling in well together and are an unexpected resource for Adachi and Kurosawa, especially Minato with his connections to help them find a new place to live. While Adachi does have a bit of a low point worrying that their relationship is the reason they're struggling with house hunting and wedding planning, it turns out they really do have a lot of support and seems like most things so far have worked out well. Kurosawa's planning folders might be a little daunting, but Adachi doesn't know about those... yet.

We get more of Tsuge and Minato's story here, which seems to be looking up after a bit of a slump where they weren't in contact with each other. Can't blame Minato here either as Tsuge really did leave things off on a really weird note before he ended up touring. It's cute how they come back together after the show, though.
Meanwhile, Adachi and Kurosawa are still working together and when they remember, house hunting. It seems like maybe Kurosawa's parents are warming up to the two of them as well given the interaction in this volume. Rokkaku is also still oddly endearing and yet a tad helpless at the same time both when it comes to their work in the office and his observations about Adachi and Kurosawa.... double dates? Really?

No update on Tsuge and Minato this time around as there's a lot going on with Adachi and Kurosawa. Adachi has finished his work in Nagasaki and returned home to Tokyo to live with Kurosawa, as well as both of them facing the dreaded first meeting of the parents. Adachi's family seems very supportive, while Kurosawa's seems will take some time and work to really convince them they are sincere and won't regret being together. The Tokyo office doesn't seem to have picked up on their relationship either except for a certain office BL fangirl who doesn't know anything specific but seems to ship the boys a lot. Otherwise, they seem to be settling into their life together pretty well for the most part, just so long as they remember to communicate, or there may be a few more fights in the future.

It's good to see Adachi and Kurosawa really supporting each other and learning to be in a relationship, especially without the use of Adachi's gift to aid in their interactions or communications. It does seem to be bringing out a bit of jealousy in Adachi though, which is a little funny given how stressed Kurosawa has been over all of their coworkers and even Tsuge. Tsuge, on the other hand, seems to still be in the early stages, though he may have his back up against the proverbial wall now with Minato's recent question. He really has been a great support though with Minato's auditions, and Minato has clearly warmed up to him a lot given their phone calls and visits, both at home with Udon and in town.

Tsuge is rather hilarious with this "gangster" look, though it's too bad it seems to be a bust for it's intended purposes. He may not need it though, depending on what Minato "almost" was going to do there. Now it seems Adachi is finally starting to understand actually communicating with Kurosawa, and that may be just in the nick of time if the magic really has disappeared for good. He seems rather confused on why it would disappear though, so maybe there are some additional theories or information on this strange ability that Adachi and Tsuge both had there. There's still the matter of this possible transfer as well that remains unresolved. Looks like more discussions are still needed in the future.

Tsuge seems to at least be hitting friend territory with his crush, though being seen as a pseudo dad is definitely a blow. On the other hand, Kurosawa takes the magic reveal surprisingly well, even using it to his own advantage in the office. It looks like Adachi isn't out of the woods yet though with the bosses now seeing him in a new light and assuming he's still single. Sometimes there are more downsides than you think in hiding a relationship.

There's a little bit of overlap as the previous volume has a preview for the next one, and the volumes are fairly short, but they are still enjoyable. Adachi is working himself up over Kurosawa's birthday and if he should tell him about being able to read his mind or not, and if so how. Just how much of an advantage does he think he's getting? Though he does have a point with some possibly seeing it as an invasion of privacy. Not that his friend seems to be doing much better either. They're both so awkward with a dose of denial and desperation that is hilarious.

Adachi really is a hilarious character, while also very unsure of himself. Surprisingly, even when he thinks he has a chance with a female coworker he has been interested in previously, he realizes he still leans towards Kurosawa. Not that he has any clue what to do beyond that realization or what being in a relationship will actually mean for the both of them. His friend is also making some progress, if minimal, with his delivery boy crush. We get another tie in as well with some backstory realizing this is the same dancer classmate that Adachi and Kurosawa's new coworker refers to during their party night.

This continues to be mostly light hearted with a good dose of humor and slow burn romance as the cherry on top. Adachi may be starting to realize his own feelings, but is mostly still in denial, though Kurosawa's sister may have forced things a bit with her appearance. While Adachi lacks a lot of self awareness, even with this magic thing going on, he seems to be oddly perceptive when it comes to those around him. Even his novelist friend seems surprised when he realizes his new main character seems to mirror a certain delivery boy.

The set up for this story is oddly hilarious and adorable at the same time. After reaching the age of 30 while still a virgin, Adachi finds himself able to read other people's thoughts when he touches them. This inadvertently leads to the realization that the office hottie everyone is crushing on and thinks is perfect is actually crushing on him. To add to the hilarity, he seeks advice from his best friend who is a romance novelist and doesn't believe the telepathy bit at all.... until he himself turns 30 and the tables are now turned on him as well. In Adachi's case, he can't seem to make up his mind if he's interested in Kurosawa or just thinks of him as a friend, but Kurosawa seems to be almost too perfect with how respectful and thoughtful he tries to be (personal fantasies aside of course). On the other hand, our novelist here seems to be the one most interested in learning more and person he wants to see more is the one being standoffish. In both cases, it seems this new magic may be more useful than originally thought.
