Where it came from
The Cherry Project is a manga series created by Naoko Takeuchi, serialized in Nakayoshi magazine between 1990 and 1991. It emerged during a formative period in Takeuchi’s career, shortly before her monumental success with Sailor Moon. The narrative follows a girl named Chieri Asuka who aspires to be a professional figure skater, blending romantic subplots with the rigorous, disciplined world of competitive athletics.
The character design reflects Takeuchi’s signature late-80s and early-90s shōjo aesthetic, characterized by expressive, wide-eyed protagonists and soft, delicate line work. While the series is often viewed by scholars as a stylistic precursor to the aesthetic tropes Takeuchi would later perfect in her more famous works, it was received as a charming, standalone sports-romance manga that balanced the lighthearted conventions of the genre with Takeuchi’s genuine interest in figure skating themes.
