The film is a sequel to the live-action television series of Yū Toyota's Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (30-sai Dōtei da to Mahō Tsukai ni Nareru Rashii) manga, and it will open on April 8.
The film's story is set after the final television episode's story.

The television series premiered in October 2020. Crunchyroll began streaming the series outside Japan in December 2020. The television series also inspired a two-episode net spinoff that debuted on the Tsutaya Premium streaming service in December 2020.
Square Enix Manga & Books is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Adachi, a thirty-year-old virgin, has developed the power to read people's minds by touching them. After a brush with his very handsome colleague, Adachi realizes he has a raging crush on none other than Adachi himself!
The manga began serialization on pixiv's Gangan pixiv service in 2018.
