絵が上手い

Good at painting

水揚げの話までが遠いです。最初の頃全然進まなくてヤキモキしましたが、今は、周りの人の色々が分かってきて面白い。

It's a long way to talk about landing. At the beginning, I was excited because it didn't progress at all, but now I understand various things about the people around me and it's interesting.

絵が綺麗

The picture is beautiful

まだ一話しか読めていませんが、絵が綺麗で読みやすいですし、時系列が現代の吉原を舞台にしている点も非常に新鮮で面白かったです。おすすめです！

I've only read one episode yet, but the pictures are beautiful and easy to read, and the fact that the time series is set in present-day Yoshiwara was also very fresh and interesting. I recommend it!

現代×遊郭＝女の活きる・生きる道

Modern times red-light districts = the way women live and live

すんごく面白い！！良く練られた設定と展開でぐんぐん読めちゃう！！笑える所もちゃんとあって苦しいだけじゃないのもイイ‼正直アザミより脇役のキャラの良さの方に目が行っちゃうのだけれど彼女が成長していくのもまた楽しい！！すっごく良い作品だと思います！！

sooo funny!! It's easy to read with well-designed settings and development!! It's also nice that there are places where you can laugh and it's not just painful ‼ Honestly, I look at the goodness of the supporting characters rather than Thistle, but it's also fun for her to grow up!! I think it's a really good work!!

とにかく続きが気になる!

Anyway, I'm worried about the continuation!

描写がとても綺麗で、内容もとても惹きつけられます！主人公の子がどんな風に成長して、大きくなっていくのかと、ドキドキワクワクします！周りの人間も、巻き込んで展開もハラハラしながら、読み進めてます♪

The depiction is very beautiful, and the content is also very engaging! I'm excited to see how the main character's child will grow and get bigger! The people around me are also reading it while getting involved and the development is jarring ♪

ハマる！

I'm addicted to it!

花魁、、私に理解できる話なのかな？と思って読んでみたらとても面白かった！人間性や関係性、私たちの生活とかけ離れている様で身近に感じて、気づいたらどんどん読み進めてました。共感、とかではないんだろうけど、なぜか感情移入するというか…とにかくハマります！

The Flower Lady... is this a story I can understand? I thought it was so interesting when I read it! I felt close to it because it seemed far from humanity, relationships, and our lives, and when I noticed it, I read on. It's probably not empathy or anything, but for some reason they empathize... I'm addicted to it anyway!

素敵だけど過酷だね?

it's nice, but it's tough, isn't it?

This review contains spoilers. 女郎や花魁って実際は過酷ですよね。?その中でお金ばかり考えていると、頭もおかしくなるし、余程頭の良い人や運の良い人が生き残るんだろうな。なんか辛い? 修行か試練としか思えない?

This review contains spoilers. Girls and flower bloomers are actually tough, aren't they? Among them, if you only think about money, your head will go crazy, and I wonder if people who are too smart or lucky will survive. something painful? can you only think of it as an ascetic practice or a trial?

一気に読んじゃいました

I read it all at once

花魁モノはいろいろ出てますが、程よく現代風で、読みやすい。主人公の芯の強さもいいですね。作品の絵も綺麗で、見惚れてしまいます。

There are various Hanakai Mono, but they are moderately modern and easy to read. The main character's core strength is also nice. The pictures in the work are also beautiful, and I fall in love with them.

吉原が現代に復活

Yoshiwara is revived to the present day

This review contains spoilers. 主人公の明日香は育ての親の借金返済のために現代に復活した吉原に売られます。現代にしては、この売られた理由が江戸時代と全く変わらないが・・・とにかく明日香が吉原遊郭で成り上がる物語です。男女平等と言う意味では、昔は無かった男性遊郭が現代に新たに出来ても・・・ホスト・クラブの拡張版、そこで成り上がるイケメン少年とか結構コミックのネタになりそう。

This review contains spoilers. The main character, Asuka, is sold to Yoshiwara, which has been revived in modern times to pay off her foster parents' debts. For the present day, the reason it was sold is no different from the Edo period... but anyway, it's a story where Asuka develops at Yoshiwara Red Light District. In the sense of gender equality, even if a male red-light district that didn't exist in the past is newly built in the present day... it seems like it will be quite a comic story about an expanded version of the host club, a handsome boy who develops there.

女たちの生きざまが粋

The way women live is cool

This review contains spoilers. 吉原を舞台とした作品の中で群を抜いています。アザミを含め女たちの個性がピカイチで腹が据わり、結果男たちを掌の上で上手く転がしていくという。作品の中で1人1人が魅力的に縦横無尽に駆け回って、より深い人間模様を編み出しています。とにかく面白く楽しみにしています。

This review contains spoilers. It is outstanding among the works set in Yoshiwara. It is said that the personalities of the women, including thistle, are impressive and their stomachs settle down, and as a result, they roll around well on the hands of the men. In the work, each person runs around fascinatingly and horizontally to devise deeper human patterns. Anyway, it's fun and I'm looking forward to it.

どんどん面白くなる！

It gets more and more interesting!

This review contains spoilers. 推し作品です。本サイトで読んでる作品中で今一番続きが楽しみかもしれません。まず、現代社会を舞台に、現代の倫理観で吉原遊廓を再現する、という世界観設定の特殊性が非常に面白いです。下手に時代物にしていないからこそ、史実への誤解とか偏見とか幻想とかのノイズが一切取っ払われているのもいい。最初はよくあるシンデレラストーリーっぽくなるかに見えますが、糀谷の本性が明かされたときの衝撃と、そこから本格的に物語が動き、深みを増していく構造には舌を巻きました。お綺麗な幻想ではない、リアルな恋模様も見応えがあります。最初は無知なだけの跳ねっ返りだったアザミちゃんが、跳ねっ返りな根性は残していい意味で活かしながら、どんどん社会を知り、人間を知り、成長していく姿は見ていて気持ちがいいし、がんばれ！！と思える。三倉さんから告げられたひと言を人生の指針にしてがんばるアザミちゃん……幸せになってほしいです（三倉さんと）

This review contains spoilers. This is a recommended work. Of the works I'm reading on this site, I'm probably looking forward to the continuation the most now. First, the peculiarity of the worldview setting, which is set in modern society and recreates the Yoshiwara Yukaku with a modern sense of ethics, is very interesting. It is also good that all the noise of misunderstandings, prejudice, and illusions about historical facts has been removed precisely because they are not well made into period objects. At first, it seemed like a common Cinderella story, but I was amazed by the shock when Kojiya's true nature was revealed and the structure where the story moved in earnest from there and increased depth. Realistic love patterns that aren't pretty illusions are also worth seeing. It feels good to watch Azami, who was initially just a bounce back due to ignorance, getting to know more and more about society, getting to know people, and growing while leaving behind her bouncy guts, so do your best!! I think so. Azami does her best using the words told by Mikura-san as a guideline for her life... I want her to be happy (with Mikura-san)

ハラハラドキドキ続きが気になります

I'm worried about the continuation of Jara Hara Doki Doki

あざみの気持ちが切なく三倉との障害があり過ぎて、なんとか結ばれてほしいと願いつつ、吉原で繰り広げられる華麗さと残酷さに魅せられてしまいます。

Azami's feelings are sad, and there are too many obstacles with Mikura, and she is fascinated by the brilliance and cruelty that unfolds in Yoshiwara while hoping that they will somehow connect.
