The 15th compiled book volume of Yū Toyota’s Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (30-sai Dōtei da to Mahō Tsukai ni Nareru Rashii) manga announced on Tuesday that the series will be entering its final arc.
Square Enix Manga & Books, which licensed the manga, describes the story as follows:
Adachi, a thirty-year-old virgin, has developed the power to read people’s minds by touching them. After a brush with his very handsome colleague, Adachi realizes he has a raging crush on none other than Adachi himself!
The manga first began serialization on pixiv’s Gangan pixiv platform in 2018. The popularity of the series led to several adaptations, beginning with a Japanese live-action television series that premiered on TV Tokyo in October 2020. Crunchyroll started streaming the series outside Japan in December 2020.

The manga also received an anime adaptation, which debuted in January 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the anime simultaneously as it aired and offers an English dub for international audiences. Additionally, a special edited compilation film of the anime premiered in Japan on December 13.
Adding to its diverse adaptations, the manga’s stage musical, titled CheriMaho The Musical, is scheduled to run from April 11 to April 20 at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo, and from April 25 to April 27 at the Ai Plaza Toyohashi in Aichi. Furthermore, the manga even inspired a live-action Thai series, demonstrating its widespread appeal.
Meanwhile, Yū Toyota has also been working on a new project. On December 28, Toyota launched a new manga titled Naraku no Hoshi (Star of the Abyss) on Gangan pixiv. Square Enix released the first volume of this new series on Tuesday.
