Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい)

My name is Kiyoshi Adachi.

I just turned thirty and, yes, I'm a virgin.

Thanks to that killer combo, I now have magic powers.

What in the world?

However, my magic is big-time lame.

Thank you for shopping with us, sir!

Ew, I touched his hand.

Stranger danger.

If I'm touching someone,

I can hear their thoughts.

That's all.

It hasn't exactly come in handy yet

and it makes my daily commute hellish.

Someone stepped on my foot!

I'm so broke.

I just despise these clowns.

Get your hands off my butt, creep!

Damn it.

It occurred to me I could brush against

a pretty girl on my walk to work.

Then I could know what they thought of me.

But if I were the kind of guy who could touch a woman,

I wouldn't be a virgin at my age.

Hi there, Adachi.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Something wrong?

That sigh sounded pretty serious.

It's nothing.

I'm just not a fan of how crowded the elevator

gets in the morning.

Ah, then why don't we take stairs

to the seventeenth floor?

We'd get our steps in.

So shiny.

This is my colleague, Kurosawa.

He's handsome and good at his job.

Shows kindness to a gloomy pleb like me.

But then, he's nice to everyone.

Kurosawa is looking gorgeous as always!

-You think he has a girlfriend? -For sure, no doubt.

The dude is Mister Popular.

I bet he lost his virginity

when his age still started with a one.

-Good morning. -Back at you.

Barf.

A little peek into his mind wouldn't hurt anyone.

You better have a crap personality.

Lucky me.

I didn't think we'd run into each other.

It'll seem suspicious if I stare too much,

but that bedhead is driving me crazy.

It's too cute.

The perfect employee is looking to brew up

a workplace romance?

I figured he had a girlfriend.

Who's the lucky lady?

None of their hairdos exactly scream "bedhead".

- Uh-oh. -

You okay?

Huh?

So close, so cute, so in love.

Look at his bedhead, my heart is beating so fast.

How am I supposed to keep it cool?

Is this how he looks when he first wakes up?

I'm going to explode, I can't focus, he's so cute!

Adachi?

What in the world?

This can't be, it just doesn't make sense!

Hold on, I thought I developed magic powers,

but what if it's simpler than that.

Maybe I turned thirty and lost all my marbles.

I wasn't hearing people's thoughts,

I was hearing the voices in my own head!

Who am I kidding, that's gotta be it!

Of course, I don't have psychic abilities

and of course cool guy Kurosawa doesn't have a crush on me.

Please, sir, do help yourself.

Oh, don't mind if I do.

He's so perfect it's actually painful.

Even our crabby president is eating out of his hand.

Hey, Adachi!

What is it, Director?

Please tell me that you've finished putting together

those documents for the Albireo Company.

-Huh? -I need them by end of day!

Wait, today?

But you said I had until next week.

Uh, never mind.

Sorry, it's my mistake.

I'll shoot those your way soon.

Just my luck.

I don't get it at all.

What could he possibly like about a loser like me?

He's so perfect.

The fun never ends.

It's getting late, you know.

He's such a hard worker.

I wish he would lean on his peers sometimes.

All right, I suppose I can help.

Or rather, I wish he would lean on me.

Okay, thanks.

Just a hallucination.

Here, then, you take these.

Sure.

There's a mole on the nape of his neck.

Hey.

What a naughty place for that to be.

Do these numbers look a bit off to you?

-Let me lick that... -

One sec... I, uh, gotta whiz!

No way, there really is a mole.

So, I'm not hallucinating.

We're finally finished.

I guess all those thoughts were serious, then.

We're probably the only ones in the whole office building.

Yeah, probably.

If he forced himself on me,

there would be no one to help.

It's a little chilly, huh?

You can borrow this.

Thank goodness I brought a scarf today.

-You might need it! -I'll be just fine.

His poor eyes are bloodshot.

The director shouldn't dump so much work on him

just because he's such a hard worker.

If you were to catch a cold, that would only mean

more work for me.

I can't leave him all alone out here.

Jeez, what a nice guy.

Now I feel bad for thinking he might go creeper mode on me.

Well, let's head out, shall we?

Thanks a ton.

All of your help today kinda saved me.

It wasn't that big a deal.

Well, if nothing else, you saved my night.

Happy to help, but maybe you can thank me

with more than words sometime.

That language wasn't HR conscious, huh?

I was thinking you could buy me dinner.

Oh, sure.

Was that supposed to be a joke or what?

Look at the time, will you make the last train?

We're a minute too late,

just my luck.

-That's tough. -Goody.

Now I get to pay for a cab.

Hey, wanna stay at my place?

For real? Yes, of course.

It's a cheap taxi ride.

What's a virgin to do?

Is it okay for me to casually crash at his place

when he has inexplicable, ooey-gooey feelings for me?

I mean, he's clearly a good person

and nothing weird has happened so far.

But maybe all that charm is just hiding

his ulterior motives!

Oh, yeah!

If I touch him, all will be revealed!

Okay, act natural.

- Eh, I dunno. -

Now's my chance!

Huh?

- Oh! -Oh, no, are you okay?

Just peachy.

I'm such an idiot.

Here.

Sounded like quite the tumble,

I hope he's not hurt.

You keep proving how kind you are.

Sorry I doubted you.

Kurosawa. Yes?

If it isn't too much trouble,

I think I would like to stay at your place tonight.
