Like Adachi said, our feelings for this show are beyond words ♡♡♡♡♡♡
You are right. This series is purely made of feelings and words are not powerful enough to convey the beautiful emotional turmoil it produces in our hearts.
Okay, I'm going to do it now because I know that after the last episode I'll be an emotional mess and I won't be able to write this properly.
Cherry Magic was definitely one of the best things -- if not the best one -- that happened to me in 2020. I got so attached to Adachi and Kurosawa and so invested in their journey that I wish it never had to end. But unfortunately it has to. I mean, everything has to come to an end at a certain point, right? What I can do now is hold its memory dear and remember how special it was. The genuine happiness that it made me feel and the way it touched my heart... those, I'll never forget them. And you know, sometimes I wondered whether the real magic was the one performed by Adachi or the ability of the show to affect me so much. I still don't have an answer, but what I can say with certainty is that the humanity and the sincerity of these characters have reached my soul. Every expression, every gesture, every word has entered my being, shaken me and left a permanent mark. Cherry Magic is unique, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. It can't be compared to anything else and it will always have its own place in my heart. Thank you all for accompanying me in this wonderful journey. I know that we all share the same feelings and that's beautiful; it's part of the magic of this series.
I remember that top10blchannel on YouTube had this theory about colors: in the drama they use yellow/orange to represent Adachi and blue for Kurosawa. Now look at the flowers and the paper used to wrap them in this picture... is it a coincidence? :O
No need to look further than the official account. They announced the specials will air after the finale on Tsutaya…
I've just read a tweet on WeTV Philippines where they say that it's 2 episodes (https://twitter.com/WeTVPhilippines/status/1341700083193098240)! I think you and Achiara are right then: it's 3 stories packed in 2 episodes! It was very confusing, though, because in the official trailer you can see the text "3エピソード" (= 3 episodes) and I remember reading on the official Twitter account of Tsutaya that there will be 3 special episodes. Oh, well, I guess they just meant 3 "stories".
So per episode 15 minutes! Why! T_T I want 25 min long special episodes each!
I know, they will go by so fast! But it's better than nothing, right? (you are currently witnessing a desperate person trying hard to convince themselves that everything will be alright)
No need to look further than the official account. They announced the specials will air after the finale on Tsutaya…
Achiara is right: there will be 3 special episodes in total, two for Adachi and Kurosawa ("Valentine & Rokkaku") and one for Tsuge and Minato ("Tsuge / Minato"). The official website still says that they will be available on Tsutaya Premium from midnight on December 24th, but I don't know if they have updated it or not. Anyway, here you can find more information about the special episodes (use Google Translate): https://tsutaya.tsite.jp/feature/original/cherimaho/index?sc_cid=tsutaya_a99_ccad_etc_atom_Tpre_12_5_201221.
I really hope that we will be able to watch the special episodes somehow D:
This page will still be here after the final ^^ We can always visit and give our greeting, updates on news or…
You are right, I'm definitely going to check out Machida and Akaso's other projects in the future. You know, some people started getting melancholic already last week -- or even earlier -- and I was surprised I was feeling okay. Then this morning, all of a sudden, it hit me: in a couple of days the series will end. And then I started panicking. I guess I still hadn't realised it, that's why I was doing well!
I'll miss everything about this series: the plot, the characters, the emotions that it made me feel, writing and discussing about it, the wonderful community and everything related to the drama. It wasn't just a series, it was a journey. It has affected every single day of my life in the past months. I've never been this active for a series before. Anyway, I'm proud of being a fan of Cherry Magic and I'm thankful to all the people who worked on it. Let's meet again in the future, maybe on the page of another drama ^^

Edit: God, I've just cried and the series hasn't even ended yet. What will happen to me after the last episode?
"I really respect you. Senpai, please let me learn from you." *read it with Rokkaku's voice*
If you'll excuse me, I have to water the flowers with my tears.
I really hope that we will be able to watch the special episodes somehow D:
