The special will be about the main characters’ love story, but it will also add episodes that hadn’t made it into the anime previously. Series director Yoshiko Okuda is in the director’s seat for this special as well. Its screening begins on December 13, two days after the anime’s soundtrack is released, and that album includes the new ending theme song.
Otaku USA previously interviewed Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! creator Yuu Toyota about her work on the manga and her involvement with the anime adaptation. Explaining how she came up with the idea for the story, she said, “I thought that if a person who had never had a relationship gained the incredible ability of being able to hear what someone was thinking upon touching that person, he or she would become overwhelmed by the other person’s thoughts and would not take full advantage of it. I also thought this idea would be interesting in a rom-com manga, so I combined it with the Japanese urban myth that ‘30 years of virginity can make you a wizard’ and the story foundation for Cherry Magic was born.” You can read the rest of the interview here.
Square Enix Manga & Books publishes the original manga and gave this description for its plot:
