Tsuge & Minato (2020)

I didn't really like the second couple in Cherry Magic because they made Minato look like a minor and Tsuge look older than he actually is. This is the reason why it was very difficult for me to convince myself to like their relationship. I don't have much of a problem with Tsuge's behaviour, because that's what you'd expect from Japanese productions. He exaggerates different situations and emotions. The same phenomenon often occurs in anime and those more typical Japanese movies and dramas.

Minato is not a minor. There is an age difference between Minato and Tsuge, but we don't know exactly how big. It's definitely less than 10 years old. I have mixed feelings about it because of how the character's appearance was created.

This drama special is simply about communication and how important it is in a relationship.

It's short and makes me perceive the second couple from the series a little better.

Strong Special Episode

This is a very good special episode that focuses solely on Tsuge and Minato. They are the side couple in the main series, and it is nice to have an entire episode dedicated to them. In fact, out of the two special episodes (the other one is focused on Adachi and Kurosawa), this is the better one, showing the couple overcoming a problem in their relationship. Tsuge is a successful writer who has just won an award, and Minato is an aspiring dancer hoping for his big break. Seeing Tsuge's achievement, Minato feels bad about himself and does not dare to talk about what he considers to be the an achievement that may turn out to be nothing (get he gets into the final round of an audition). If the special episode for Adachi and Kurosawa had ended in a different way, it would perhaps be as good as this one in terms of showing some development in the relationship.

If you like Tsuge and Minato in the main series, this special episode is not to be missed.

Un SP des plus mignons

Contrairement au SP centré sur le couple principal du drama "30Sai made Doteida to Mahotsukai ni Narerurashi", j'ai apprécié celui-ci. Pourquoi ? Probablement parce que le drama n'exploite pas beaucoup ce couple. Bien qu'on les voit se côtoyer puis finir en couple, j'avoue avoir été déçue de ne pas les voir plus (surtout une fois qu'ils se sont mis ensemble...)

De ce fait, voir un peu leur évolution en tant que couple m'a fait plaisir. Après, il faut avouer qu'il n'y a rien de bien original dans ce SP. On prend juste plaisir à les revoir et à voir un peu de leur quotidien.

Bonita, pero olvidable!

Este es un especial spin-off de Cherry Magic y nos cuenta la historia de la pareja secundaria Tsuge y Miniato y como va su vida de pareja como resuelven lo que sea que les pase.

Acabo de terminar esta historia, y si me gusto, hubo mejor desarrollo de estos personajes y su relación, mas es una historia que se puede olvidar con facilidad, la vez, sabes que la disfrutas, pero cuando acaba y pasan horas ya ni recuerdas que fue lo que viste, al menos a mi me paso, se que me gusto y la disfrute, pero de ahí en mas no recuerdo mucho, para hacer esta reseña tuve que volver a buscarla y ver que fue lo que vi...

Aunque algo si es seguro en este especial, hay mejor desarrollo entre estos personajes y eso me gusto.
