Synopsis
Cherry and Virgin is a romantic comedy centered on Ryou, a 32-year-old eromanga author, and Ami, a 28-year-old fujoshi. Both struggle with opposite-sex interactions—Ryou is a bit of an otaku and easily flustered around women, while Ami holds a poor view of 3D men. After a fateful meeting, the story follows the pair as they learn to navigate the complexities of interpersonal relationships and come to understand the bitter and sweet sides of modern romance.
