Less than 12 hours until our marathon begins! If you need a countdown, a time converter or any more info, check out the post in the discussions! You can join whenever you like if you don't have time immediately when we start. With the 7 episodes á ~25 min the whole event is probably gonna last around 3 hours. I hope we'll have fun together!

Yes, our community here is really fun!! You are welcome to join the discussions and other things we have going on here ^^
I think a common source for the gifs is Weibo but there are also just apps like giphy or others to make your own gifs.

The info is also above in the Discussion Forum if you can't find it here in the comments again.

that was the first thing i saw when i woke up today ;-; too much for my weak heart

wait now I'm double excited for the future episodes omg!!!

All we can do is hope :3

Damn, Kurosawa is treating Adachi WELL; as he deserves^^

I feel like seeing them in regular clothes and not their office looks is so refreshing and also makes them seem so homely in a way ^^ I really can't wait to see many dates in the future uwu

Damn, thank you so much for this!! Kurosawa's skills to make Adachi fall for him in 3 weeks lol! This is great^-^

Yes, I agree! She is really wonderful and we need to appreciate her more! It is yet another example of how great all characters play together to create this wonderful show ^-^

Omg! Thank you, I was wondering if it was a real story they were talking about xD I might check it out some time.

and that's valid! but I also think the representation (if it is any) or just portrayal of the way Kurosawa lives out his attraction to Adachi isn't really problematic or harmful.

Yes thank you! I actually relate to Adachi a lot. I identify as demisexual, so I need a strong bond to someone to start feeling more than romantic feelings. I'm not really sure where to put Kurosawa but I just wanna make sure people know that not everyone is always sexually interested as much as romantically. I think those "Sweet Life" fantasies he had, depict quite well what I'd be more interested in in a partner than physical attraction or whatever. And even that he defintely showed, in my opinion. And if OP is reading this, I think it is valid to want more "realistic" approaches to queer romance in BLs since I get that LGBTQ+ representation isn't by far on the level of straight romances but I also think it is valid to have a more mellow romance that focuses on emotions. And since Cherry Magic is handling the topic of homosexuality quite well, I wouldn't personally see a problem. But I am rambling, so I'll just stop here

you're in for a ride!! enjoy!!

Since most of my points have been made in other posts, I just wanna say this: I am a queer person on the ace spectrum. We exist and we deserve representation?? I don't see why a BL has to satisfy hypersexual people but not ace people; just saying:/

at the time i mentioned in the post i will start streaming the episodes in order and you'll be able to talk with people live about what is happening in the chat

yes of course! good idea ^^

no problem!! i just really liked the atmosphere we had in the live stream the other day so i thought it might be fun

Same! I rewatch the episodes whenever I feel down. It's my top comfort drama even though it's still ongoing ^-^

It's really a wonderful show and the little community we built on here makes it even better! I'm not sure about Tsuge, I really like his character and I mean it happens that people fall in love with someone without even knowing much about them... And I don't really see him crossing the line so...
