Anime Pilgrimage #22: Cherry Magic

Embarking on another pilgrimage trip for the ongoing anime ‘Cherry Magic, Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!’ (30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい, 30-sai made Doutei dato Mahoutsukai ni Nareru Rashii).

This update covers the first 6 episodes, mainly focusing on Roppongi, the main setting of the anime.


Around the workplace

Kurosawa and Adachi’s company is in Roppongi Grand Tower, which coincidentally houses TV Tokyo, the channel airing the anime.

Before identifying the location, I visited the building for other purposes, and the entrance’s ceiling left an impression to me. When I saw it in the anime, I had an hunch and confirmed it in Google Maps.

Given it is an office property, unfornately, I didn’t get a chance to snap a picture of the entrance. However, there are scenes depicting the surroundings of the building.

The confession scene of Kurosawa in episode 5 is located at the intersection of Roppongi Nadaresaka, which is nearby the building.

Confession dash

In episode 6, there’s a scene where Adachi runs from the office to meet Kurosawa to reciprocate his feelings. While identifying the location, I noticed that most cuts were seemlessly connected.

Here is the overview of the dash route:

Roppongi Station Exit 7

Roppongi Station is most likely the station where Adachi gets off to work. Currently, it’s identified that his home is around Asagaya Station (to be discussed later), so he likely rides the JR Chou Line to Yoyogi Station and transfer to Roppongi Station via Toei Oedo line.

Tokyo Midtown

After the sauna scene in episode 3, Adachi and Kurosawa sparated from Rokaku at Hinokicho Park.

They then walk around the Midtown Garden, with the most notable stucture at the background being 21 21 Design Sight.

When I visited the park, there was an ice skating rink installed at the time.
