I was a bit unsure if I am even willing to bother with this series. Mostly because I often find the idea of virginity giving you some sort of magic (or making you pure) very off putting. It’s my opinion and probably the main reason I have put off watching it for so long. Thankfully, some edits made me intrigued and got me to give it a go.

Kurosawa & Adachi: Adachi might be one of the most relatable characters for introverts I have ever seen. He lacks confidence and tends to put himself down, he doesn’t stand up for himself and does everything to make others like him. He often worries about how others perceive him. Kurosawa is the it guy at the office. He seems confident, outgoing, friendly, and competent. But he also has a more vulnerable side that we get to see later one. I really liked that they added dimension to his character. I really liked their dynamics; Kurosawa was never too pushy when it came to pursuing Adachi and gave him space. He was also very good at reading Adachi and his reaction, and then adapting his behavior. And he wasn’t even the one with magic!

Tsuge & Minato: they were the side couple with a similar premise as the main one. Tsuge was also in possession of magic while Minato was unaware of that. Tsuge is both an introvert and a drama king, he sure knows how to exaggerate. Minato is adorable, very friendly, and quite outgoing. I wasn’t really enjoying this couple and I think it has a lot to do with me disliking Tsuge as a character. I don’t know what it is about him, but I found him annoying.

I genuinely liked all of the side characters. Rokkaku and Fujisaki were an absolute joy whenever they appeared on screen. Even Urabe, Adachi’s senior at work, was not nearly as bad as I thought at first. He really redeemed himself as the series progressed.

I like how they showed that having the magic is not always a good thing nor it’s something that you should rely on too much. It gave us a different perspective from what I expected. They also avoided a lot of cliches – from evil exes to pursuing a reluctant person.

The comedy aspect was nicely incorporated into the series. The visuals and locations were amazing too. I also really liked the intro and outro sequences.

The series might not be one of my favorites, but it was an enjoyable watch. This is a very subjective thing, so just because it was not something I absolutely loved, doesn’t mean it is not something others enjoyed a lot more.
