30-sai made Doutei dato Mahoutsukai ni Nareru Rashii

When mundane office worker Kiyoshi Adachi turns 30 years old, he discovers that he has gained the ability to read minds due simply to remaining a virgin for his entire life. The caveat, however, is that he must make physical contact with a person to know what they are thinking about. Adachi believes there is no real use for this power until he accidentally hears the thoughts of his coworker, Yuuichi Kurosawa.

Charismatic and dependable, Kurosawa is the star of Adachi's team at work, earning praise and admiration from everyone at the office. But deep within, Kurosawa harbors an intense one-sided crush for the gloomy Adachi—a fact that Adachi only learns because of his ability, and knowledge he tries to respectfully disregard. As Kurosawa treats Adachi with kindness and affection he has never experienced before, Adachi finds it increasingly difficult to ignore his coworker's genuine advances.

This show is really just romance perfection!

Adachi, the protagonist, turns thirty and comes to find he has the power to read minds. While initially it’s not ideal for him to have this capability, he gets the chance to read a particular person’s mind and everything changes. This person is Kurosawa.

Let me say that Adachi as a protagonist is complex, entertaining, and wholesome… and seeing his character development made me feel so proud for him. On the flip side, Kurosawa as the love interest is equally as multi-faceted and endearing. Their chemistry and love was utterly perfect.

Because these characters are older, their relationship ... from start to finish was refreshingly mature. I thoroughly loved that this wasn’t another teen romance, and not only that, but that the writers took great care in making their story feel real and believable for their ages. Even more so, the pacing was also perfect, which added to the genuineness of their romance.

The only reason it doesn’t get a 10/10 rating from me is because of the other side characters’ romance. Their storyline wasn’t necessarily bad, but their relationship felt forced, and they inevitably offered nothing to the plot. I honestly would have preferred them removed altogether to get more of Adachi and Kurosawa.

Despite the minor critique, this was truly wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend watching!!!!

Mixed Feelings

This is literally the happiest anime I've watched in a long time, I'm still shocked at how the last episode ended (I really wasn't expecting it to have such a happy ending). The anime is fluffy, the moments when Adachi reads Kurosawa's thoughts are always give me secondhand embarrassment, but it's with Adachi's power that the anime manages to show the part of failed communication and how insecure he feels.
Despite talking so well about the subjects it addresses, it's a very simple story in itself, with a plot that I can't even tell if it really is a plot, the development focuses only on ... Adachi and his "boring" appearance is very romanticized (in quotes because he's always drawn beautifully).

Esse é literalmente o anime mais feliz q eu assisti em muito tempo, ainda to chocada em como terminou o ultimo episódio (realmente não tava esperando que tivesse um final tão feliz).
O anime é engraçadinho e fluffy, os momentos quando o Adachi lê os pensamentos do Kurosawa são sempre vergonha alheia, mas é com esse poder do Adachi que o anime consegue mostrar bem a parte de comunicação falha e como ele se sente inseguro.
Apesar de falar tão bem sobre os assuntos abordados, é uma história bastante simples em si, com um plot que eu nem sei dizer se realmente é um plot, o desenvolvimento se foca apenas no Adachi e é muito romantizado sua aparência "sem graça" (entre aspas pq ele é sempre desenhado lindamente).

30-sai made Doutei dato Mahoutsukai ni Nareru Rashii it's different from what I usually watch.

It's interesting but at the same time kinda boring. The characters aren't that well developed and the sinergy between then are kinda off. In my opinion the support characters are more interesting than the main characters. That point, for itself is a huge red flag for the anime.

Besides the supernatural thing, the story don't bring anything new, it's just the same old story with the same old characters (personality).

The anime can really catch you in the 1st episode, but that's it. From that point it's a downhill that recovers a ... little with the support characters and once again goes down.
