Oh. My. God. You are probably the first booktuber I'm seeing talking about this manga series! This is the most wholesome, unproblematic BL japanese drama I've ever watched 💖
The one of many things I love about this manga/anime is that it’s a romance that doesn’t take place in the MCs teens/20s. Romance can happen at any age and you didn’t “miss out” if you didn’t experience it when you were younger.
If you like manhwas as well I highly recommend you check out the BL manhwa called On or Off, and another one called Shutline. And also if you liked Blue flag but wasn’t into the ending I highly recommend you check out the BL manga called My Love-mix up.
Omg I saw a comment recommended the manhwa On or Off and Shutline and I have to agree. Omg those are so good also, if you want a funny wholesome but sexy manhwas as well I think you should check out Nerd Project and Between the lines. The ones I recommended can be found online I don’t think they have a physical book yet but it is definitely worth it. On or off and shutline do have physical books
I love this live action so much!! Just rewatched it recently and was pleasantly surprised at how good and non cringy it actually is. The actors are perfect too!!
Ok cherry magic in all its forms and some of the other bl you held up earlier,,, straight on my to do list for this year😂 Also omg your hoodie is the cutest 😢😢 I will blame you that I'm considering buying more OP merch 😂😂😂😂
just finished the first book and it WAS SO CUTE!! I adored this video, thank you for making it! Also I recommend The Two Lions by Nagisa Furuya and My Love Mix-Up by Wataru Hinekure
I started reading Cherry Magic after I watched and loved the live action a few years ago, and it's the only manga I keep up with, so I was pretty excited to see you read it! I'm so glad you liked it.
I've only watched the liveaction years ago but your reaction was so cute i think i'll have to pick up the manga and the anime as well. Watching you just cheesing about out this series was so fun, made my day. Speaking of recommendation, I would highly recommend Sasaki and Miyano (it has an anime adaptation as well). It's what cherry magic is for you to me. (or heartstopper, sine its a highschool series) If you want to expand your TBR list even more, how about dipping your toes into danmei (Chinese BL novels)? There aren't that many to choose from yet as it only started getting english licenses recently and the translations quality vary but Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is one of the most beloved (and popular) BL in recent years, it has a Chinese live action drama, manhua version, as well as animated show.
I've read 'My Brother's Husband' I think last year or the year before. Really loved it 💙 Haven't read 'Given' yet but I picked it up because of your '24 Manga in 24 Hours' videos. Can't wait to get into it. (Also got the first 7 volumes of 'A Man & his Cat's because of that video too 😅) And now I might have to give this manga a try too.
I read this last month when the first ep of the anime came out and it is good, funny and wholesome! plus that pajama scene in the beginning is what sold me to the series!
love seeing you read this series! if you love the manga, anime and Japanese live action, you might also want to check out the Thai live action which is currently airing :)) I really am enjoying the Thai adaption atm and it's also so funny and cute *-* the second couple also has a lot more screen time and they're so funny. :D
I checked out Cherry Magic last month on a whim, read all 9 volumes in 2 days, and I've read them all over again three times since. Love them. I highly recommend My Love Mix-Up (complete) and Sasaki and Miyano (in progress) for more adorable BL hijinks. Those are both school manga. Also, My Summer of You is a currently three-book series that's super cute. Crossplay Love is my latest obsession, it's a crossdressing story that plays a lot with gender and it's just hilarious. I also only started reading manga recently, but I'm having a lot of fun with it too!

Omg this was such a cute vlog!!! I think I’m going to watch the live action 👀 got major feels from just the couple of clips you shared 😂 they’re both so cute!!!!
I'm glad you like The Summer Hikaru died! I know, I recommended it on one of your reading sprint streams. don't know if you picked it up because of that, but you did write it down, so I'm just gonna be delusional and believe that lol. I started reading Cherry Magic a few weeks ago, after 2 episodes of the anime, and I've binged all of it! They are so cute!
I love the live-action version so much!!!! Watching this makes me wanna read the manga too...like I first heard of it bc of the anime, and I wanted to know how it continued (it was at episode...2? when I found it) and then the live-action showed up and listennnnnnn Kurosawa's actor does such an incredible job, Adachi's too but the confession scene where he feels like it's gonna be the end of the friendship like it truly hurt to watch I sobbedddddd
Watching you just gush over this was adorable and makes me want to try reading this too lol but I've never read manga, a little afraid it will be hard to transition to that kind of media but I want to try
I REALLY want to read the manga so badly. I started watching the new Thai version which is still airing, but I couldn't stop myself from watching the Japanese version and the movie (absolutely obsessed with the actor who plays Adachi now). Now I'm watching the anime as well. I'm absolutely obsessed 😅 This video came at the right time!
@@GavinReadsItAll loving and living ❤ can't wait for you to read twilight out of focus I'm obsessed with the main couple and there's an anime coming out this year! There's an older manga called Konbini-kun by Junko that I think you would really enjoy if you can find a copy, super cute and one of the characters rescues a stray cat. Also the anime My New Boss is Goofy (not technically a BL but basically a BL) has Cherry Magic vibes. I love how much you loved CM and love your energy in this vlog king. We need a vlog for volume 6 when it comes out 👀
I’m watching the anime for this right now & I love it . But my all time favorite BL manga & anime is Sasaki and Miyano . Please give it a try , you’ll love them too !!
I really want to read Cherry Magic!! It looks so cute! Two that I would recommend for you is Our Dining Table (standalone) and Dekoboko Sugar Days (has a sequel called Bittersweet days). They are both really sweet bl favs of mine. 🩵
I have heard about cherry magic the manga but never read it a really enjoyed the Thailand live adaptation of cherry magic unfortunately due to copyright issues it stopped airing in America
I'm so happy that you liked Cherry Magic!! I watched the live action a couple of years ago, and love it. And I don't normally don't like like Japanese live action adaptations, they always try to translate some manga jokes that don't translate well to real life. I would love to see you watching some Thai BL drama, there's a lot to watch for free on youtube. Vice Versa is one that I finished recently, and it's about parallel universes.
