好き。

I like it.

単純な江戸モノではなくて、異世界ファンタジーな吉原ロマン。私は、頑張って努力してのし上がる子が好きだから、こういう、もって生まれた美貌と天然のはいった傍若無人ぶりは好きじゃないんだけど。

It's not just an Edo thing; it's an otherworldly fantasy Yoshiwara romance. I like children who work hard and get better, so I don't like being surrounded and unattended, where the beauty and natural beauty they were born with is in this way.

This review contains spoilers. こちらの作品に関しましてはと言いましたらですと、どういったストーリーになっておられるのかを説明させていただきましょう。両親の頼みで芸能界に入り苦労している時花魁と出会い新たな人生が始まるというのがストーリーです。とても構成が素晴らしい作品です。

This review contains spoilers. Speaking of this work, let me explain what kind of story it is. The story is about entering the entertainment industry at the request of his parents, and when he is having a hard time, he meets Kakai and a new life begins. It is a work with a very wonderful structure.

9話まで読みました

I read up to 9 episodes

読み始めると、続きが気になって次々と読み進めたくなる作品でした。機会があれば、続きを読みたいと思います。

Once I started reading it, I was worried about the continuation and wanted to read it one after another. If I get a chance, I'd like to read more.

反骨精神とたくましさを兼ね備えたヒロイン

A heroine who combines rebellious spirit and strength

This review contains spoilers. まずは思わせぶりでとても目を引くタイトルをつけた作者様のセンスがすごいな〜と思います。一般人なら手にすることも見ることも一生ないであろう途方もない価値のあるアレだなんて、興味を惹かれないわけがありませんよね！信じていた育ての親にこっぴどく裏切られ、現代版・吉原で働くことを余儀なくされた男嫌いのヒロインの物語という事で、設定的に暗く物悲しいストーリーになりそうですが、反骨精神とたくましさを兼ね備えたヒロインが、置かれた状況の中で懸命に生きていく姿があまりにも気高くて美しいので、暗くなるどころか逆に元気をもらえる感じさえします。先が予測できないためハラハラ・ドキドキさせられっぱなしですが、最終的にヒロインには自分の意志と実力で幸せを勝ち取って欲しいと思います。

This review contains spoilers. First of all, I think the sense of the author who gave a very eye-catching title that was evocative is amazing. There's no way I wouldn't be interested if it's something of tremendous value that an ordinary person would never get their hands on or see! It's a story of a man-hating heroine who was so betrayed by her nurturing parents that she believed in, and is forced to work in the modern version of Yoshiwara, and it seems to be a dark and sad story in terms of settings, but the sight of the heroine, who has both rebellious spirit and strength, living so hard in the circumstances that she is placed in is so noble and beautiful, so far from getting dark, I even feel energized. The future cannot be predicted, so it's still jarring and exciting, but in the end, I want the heroine to win happiness with her own will and ability.

生きるということは何と過酷なのか。経済的に恵まれなかったものはあらゆるものを売らなければならない。そしてその先にはいったい何があるのか、それには価値があるのか。かつて存在し、今も生きる彼ら、彼女たちの事を思うとやるせない気持ちになる。

How hard is it to live? Those who are economically disadvantaged must sell everything. And what exactly lies beyond that, and is it worth it? When I think about them who once existed and are still living today, I feel like I can't get carried away.

つい読んじゃう

Let's just read it

最初は主人公がかわいそうできついなぁと思ったけど突っかかっていくところとか復讐をすると決めた辺りから面白くなってきました！現代っていう設定がまたおもしろかったです♪

At first, I felt sorry for the main character and thought it was tough, but it became interesting from where they hit it off and decided to take revenge! The modern setting was interesting again ♪

設定が面白い

The setting is interesting

This review contains spoilers. 9巻まで読みました。現代の「吉原」という設定が面白くて、よくできたストーリーが特徴の作品だと思いました。ある程度「吉原」がどのようなところだという知識がある方が、この作品のストーリーを理解しやすいと思います。主人公が良さそうだと思っていた男性が実は全然違っていたことに、驚きました。どうなるのか気になるので、もっと読んでみたいです。

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 9 volumes. The modern setting of “Yoshiwara” was interesting, and I thought it was a work characterized by a well-written story. I think it's easier to understand the story of this work if you have some knowledge of what kind of place “Yoshiwara” is. I was surprised that the man I thought the main character looked good was actually completely different. I'm curious about what's going to happen, so I'd like to read more.

目が離せません

I can't take my eyes off

一番注目すべきは、この漫画家さんの技術の向上が半端ではありません。一作目と比べマジで上手くなっています。お話ももちろん面白い。フィックションなのか、実話に基づいてのものなのか、次が待ち遠しいです。

What is most notable is that this manga artist's improvement in technology is not unusual. Compared to the first one, it's really better. Of course, the story is interesting too. I can't wait for the next one, whether it's fiction or based on a true story.

ただの恋愛物語にならないことを祈る。

I hope it doesn't just become a love story.

歴史物好きです。セック×ばっかりのマンガかと思いきや、江戸の吉原の遊郭の女性の哀しさとか強さとかを、現代に置き換えて風刺しているところが、すごく歌舞伎的手法に感じられてよい。願わくば、アザミの強く生き抜いていく方をメインにして、恋愛中心マンガにならないで欲しいと切に願う。

I like historical stuff. I thought it was a manga full of sex, but the fact that it satirizes the sorrow and strength of women in Yoshiwara's red-light district in Edo by replacing it with the present day can really be felt like a Kabuki-like method. Hopefully, I really hope it doesn't turn into a romance-centered manga, with Thistle's Strong Surviving as the main theme.

ドラマみたい、いやそれ以上！

It's like a drama, no more than that!

正直、性奴隷のようなお話は好きではありませんが、ヒロインの生き様や周りの人々が人間臭くて良い！イラストは表情の描き方が絶妙で作画が綺麗なのでドラマを見ているみたい。マンガだけどドラマを観ているようなストーリーと作画で、ドラマ超えだと思います！続きも楽しみにしています！

To be honest, I don't like stories about sex slaves, but it's nice that the heroine's way of life and the people around her smell like humans! The illustration is like watching a drama because the way the facial expressions are drawn is exquisite and the drawing is beautiful. It's a manga, but the story and drawing make you feel like you're watching a drama, and I think it's beyond dramas! I'm looking forward to the continuation!

おもしろい！

It's interesting!

昔の吉原の話ではなくて、現代に吉原があるという設定がおもしろい！最初は主人公が吉原は芸能界みたいなところって聞いてるって言ってて、無知すぎだろう！って思ったけど、両親への怒りを糧に頑張る姿が強くて良い！糀谷のキャラが思ってたのと違って衝撃的！三倉さんカッコイイ！

It's not about Yoshiwara in the old days; the setting where Yoshiwara exists today is interesting! At first, the main character said he heard that Yoshiwara is a place like the entertainment industry, and that's probably too ignorant! I thought, but it's nice that they are strong enough to use anger against their parents to do their best! It's shocking that the Kojiya characters are different from what I expected! Mikura-san is so cool!

設定のりこえ

Resonance of settings

電子書籍読み始め、はまった作品。設定が思い切った感もあるし女性としてどうかなとなるかもしれないがファンタジーと思い没入。人間関係、人間模様、暗部を描いたり、絡みあったり。面白いので読み繋ぐ。

I started reading e-books and became addicted to it. There is also a feeling that the setting was drastic, and it might be what it would be like as a woman, but I was immersed in fantasy and thought. It depicts human relationships, human patterns, and dark areas, and intertwines. It's interesting, so I can read it together.

もうアザミがカッコよすぎる！！漫画好きでたくさん読んでるけど、ストーリーがずっと頭に残る、そして何度も読み返す漫画って一握り。ストーリーもコアになるポイントがぶれず、そこに話が広がっていくから一貫していて面白いし、キャラクターも魅力的。早く次の話が読みたい！

Thistles are already too cool!! I love comics and read a lot of them, but there are only a handful of comics that keep the story in my head for a long time, and I reread them over and over again. The story is consistent and interesting because the core points are not blurred, and the story unfolds there, and the characters are fascinating. I want to read the next story soon!
