Cherry Magic

Based in a gentle, magical-realist premise, this French manga-style comic from Éditions Akata adapts the beloved Japanese BL (Boys' Love) series. It follows the story of a 30-year-old virgin who, upon turning that age, suddenly gains the ability to hear people's thoughts through touch—a power that complicates his life when he discovers his handsome, popular coworker is harboring a secret crush on him. Since its 2023 debut, the series has been a key title for Akata, bringing a warm, comedic, and heartfelt romance to a new audience.
