“Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!” anime is based on a manga of the same name and is hands down one of the cutest and most adorable love stories out there. Most of the viewers will be familiar with the plot as live- drama of the manga has already been released in 2020. “Cherry Magic” is this heart-warming love story between Adachi and his colleague Kurosawa. According to urban-tales, people who remain virgin even after the age of 30, become wizards. The same happens to Adachi, who has remained a virgin at 30, thereby he gains the magical power to read people’s mind if he touches them or if they touch him. Confused, Adachi is still adapting to this magical ability when he comes across his office colleague, Kurosawa one day in the lift and accidently reads his mind, gaining the information that Kurosawa had a crush on him.

“Ossan’s Love Returns” continues the adventures of Japanese gay couple Maki and Haruta after the events of the first season and the follow-up movie. Ironically even after years of being together the two 30+ years old men have a thing or two to learn about everything.

“Beyond the Star” Series Review (Ep.3 to 8)
After completely watching the series, I only felt one thing, which was what the hell happened in last few episodes because it felt incomplete. Empty plot lines, rushed ending and no character development. Even in romantic sense, there was no development. Sure there was intimacy but it felt too much scripted after certain time because it felt like, instead of creating a solid story line, the writer and director were too focused on repetitive and boring intimate scenes between the couples. Some scenes were good but most of them were bland and boring. The main thing around dancing and singing, since they were trying to create a boyband.

“Boys Like Boys” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)
I have been watching reality tv dating shows for as long as I can remember and no matter how much other people found it refreshing and true, I always felt every moment of it was scripted. Whether it is about their interaction, connections, fight or arguments, for me everything felt fake and too much formulaic.

“The Servant and the Young Master” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
Once again, the Vietnamese prove their superiority in BL story telling over other countries with their big budgets and slick productions. Not only do they portray a human story, but, because of budget constraints, do so in a short period. Can you imagine if they had the money to put on full productions what these BLs would be like? And yet, the interest in Vietnamese BLs is obviously nowhere near those of Thai or Korean, which I find sad and disheartening. Why? Because most of these stories are relatable, connect to us personally, and genuinely touch us on an emotional level. This one is no exception to that axiom. It tells a deeply profound story not just in acting but in words as well. This is very well written.
