Cherry Magic is a manga filled to the brim with romantic tropes. Some require a bit of explanation and will get their own post, others are understandable just with a single panel. This first post will cover several of the simpler tropes that need little to no explanation. With that in mind, let's go!
If You Break Their Heart
In the original Japanese for volume 8, Adachi's sister in law says her husband is a "bro con" (which was translated to "attached much?" in the official English) and nowhere is this fact more evident than when he threatens Kurosawa before his and Adachi's wedding.
Kabedon
The wall slap. Classic, effective and honestly kinda hot. Does it need more explanation?
Kissed Keepsake
During the months that he's transferred to Nagasaki, Adachi finds himself kissing the ring that connects him to Kurosawa. It's a subtle, but lovely way for the author to show how much he misses his partner.
Lip Touch
A simple but intimate gesture of affection and desire.
Minis
Slightly different from chibis (which are usually just the characters normal sized but done in a smaller and cuter style) minis are usually used for comedic effect or just to enhance the cuteness of a situation. Toyota-sensei has this trope locked down.
And that's it for this collection of tropes! Hopefully you enjoyed them as much as I did! I'll do a few more collections like this before diving deeper into some of the bigger and more story driven tropes.
