感動した

impressed

This review contains spoilers. 両親が不和の冷めた家庭に育った律と、養子として子供に恵まれなかった夫婦に引き取られて暖かい家庭で育った直也。全く違った家庭環境で育った二人が、お互いの心の隙間を埋めるように惹かれ合って‥性別も血の繋がりも関係なく、人は人に救われるのだなぁと思った。凍りついた律の心が、真っ直ぐで温かい直也に包み込むように愛されて、徐々に溶かされていくのが感動的だった。そんな直也に愛を教えてくれたのは養父母だと思うと、愛はバトンのように手渡されるんだなぁとしみじみと思った。すごく良い話。

This review contains spoilers. Ritsu, who grew up in a family where her parents were discordant, and Naoya grew up in a warm family after being taken in by a couple who were not blessed with children as adopted children. The two, who grew up in completely different family environments, were attracted to each other so as to fill gaps in their hearts... I thought people could be saved by others regardless of gender or blood connection. It was moving that Ritsu's frozen heart was loved as if wrapped around Naoya, who was straight and warm, and gradually melted away. When I thought it was my foster parents who taught me love to Naoya, I really thought that love was handed to me like a baton. Very good story.

泣いた…

I cried...

昔どこかで読んだ事があって、電子で読んでるのは最近だからもしかして紙かなー。その時もおいおい泣いたの思い出した。出生や育児の辛い過去話には胸がぎゅーっとした。愛し愛される人に出会えて良かったね！生まれてきて良かったんだよ、二人共…（号泣）

I read it somewhere a long time ago, and I've been reading it electronically recently, so maybe it's paper. I remember crying a lot at that time too. I was taken aback by the painful stories of births and childcare from the past. I'm glad I met someone I love and be loved! I'm glad they were born, both of them... (crying)

いつの間にか

imperceptibly

結婚願望め恋愛願望もなかった律が、ワンナイトなはずのナオヤと出会い、人生が変わっていく様子が面白いです。シリーズの作品も読んでいますが、これも引けを取らず面白い。ナオヤの一途さがなんともいえず、律にピッタリで…

It's interesting to see how Ritsu, who had no desire for marriage or love, meets Naoya, who is supposed to be a one-night stand, and her life changes. I've also read works in the series, and this one is just as interesting. I can't say anything about Naoya's stubbornness, and it's perfect for Ritsu...

いい相手に出会えてよかった

I'm glad I met a good partner

This review contains spoilers. 「僕をダメにする38歳。」のスピンオフ、透の元セフレの律のお話。スピン元では翔太に意地悪する嫌な奴って感じでしたが、今まで辛い経験をしてきたから過去の自分を惨めにしないように正当化して虚勢を張ってただけなんだね。本当にいい相手に出会えてよかった。直矢が諦めずに律のこと好きでいてくれて良かった。ウルッとします。星4.6

This review contains spoilers. “38 years old who ruined me.” A spin-off of Toru's original friend with benefits, a story about Ritsu. At the origin of the spin, I felt like he was a nasty guy who was mean to Shota, but since he's had a painful experience up until now, he was just bluffing by justifying his past self so as not to make his past self miserable. I'm glad I met a really nice person. I'm glad Naoya didn't give up and fell in love with Ritsu. It makes me cringe. 4.6 stars

泣いた

wept

すっごい響いたし、滲みた。主人公の生い立ちが分かるから、幸せに反発する気持ちに泣けた。ハッピーエンドで良かったです。

It sounded so loud and it blew. Since I understand the main character's upbringing, I was able to cry with the feeling of being opposed to happiness. I'm glad it had a happy ending.

This is a story about family love. The attacking family is too great. They're too kind, and they make me cry. I think it would be really nice to have a family like this.

This review contains spoilers. 律が、ほんとにかわいくて！良かったです。愛されたくてしてもらえず、せフレだけ求める事になってたのに、直矢と出会って本当に良かったです。幸せになってよかったです。

This review contains spoilers. Ritsu is really cute! That was great. I'm really glad I met Naoya even though I wanted to be loved, and I was only looking for Sefure. I'm glad you're happy.

最高です

It's the best

生まれた境遇、育った環境でココロが満たされていない2人がホントの愛を知る事が出来て最高のストーリーでしたね。律も俺をダメにするシリーズで出て来ていたので、幸せになってくれて涙！ナオヤが温かくて男気あってカッコいい！律を丸ごと受け止めてくれる23歳、素敵でしたね。

It was a great story where two people, whose hearts were not satisfied with the circumstances they were born in and the environment they grew up in, were able to know their true love. Ritsu also appeared in the series that ruined me, so it made me happy and cried! Naoya is warm, manly, and cool! The 23 year old, who accepted the whole rule, was wonderful.

２人とも辛い過去持ち泣

they both have a painful past

This review contains spoilers. 律は親からの愛情を受けずに育ち、さらに過去のセ○レたちとは恋人にならず穴扱いされる。でも、大事にされることに慣れていない律はそれでも別にいいと思ってる←これ描写はあまりないんですがかなり辛いです。直矢はへその緒が付いた状態で真冬に捨てられていた所を助けられる。２人共にかなり重めの過去持ちですか、直矢は養子に引き取られた家族に可愛がられ、感情豊かなイケメンに育ち、律のことを心から大事にしてくれて、律も最初は拒絶してたけどだんだん好きになっていくんですよね〜?その過程が色々拗らせてる律に真っ直ぐに想いが届いて晴れて恋人になったときほんとに良かった?って思いました。

This review contains spoilers. Ritsu grew up not receiving love from her parents, and furthermore, she was treated like a hole without becoming a lover with her past friends. But I think Ritsu, who isn't used to being cherished, is still fine ← there aren't many depictions of this, but it's pretty painful. Naoya can be saved by the place that had been thrown away in the middle of winter with his umbilical cord attached. Do they both have a pretty heavy past? Naoya was loved by her adopted family, grew up to be an emotional handsome guy, took great care of Ritsu from the bottom of his heart, and even though Ritsu initially rejected it, he gradually fell in love with it, right? Was it really nice when your feelings came straight to Ritsu, whose process was so relentless, and they cleared up and they became lovers? That's what I thought.

ピュアなスパダリ

Pure spa dari

This review contains spoilers. 素直になれなさすぎに対しピュアなスパダリでどちらの生い立ちにもうるっときた。家族があったかくてうらやましい！途中あまりにもひねくれてるからちょっとイラッとくる所もあったけどそれを上回るスパダリの好きが駄々漏れで癒されました。

This review contains spoilers. In response to not being able to be honest, I was fascinated by both backgrounds with pure spadari. I'm so envious that my family is so warm! There were places where I was a little frustrated because it was so perverse along the way, but I was healed by the whining that surpassed that.

透さんと翔太くんのスピンオフですね。切道くん、嫌みな奴だと思っていたけど、めちゃめちゃイイ奴でした。

It's a spin-off between Toru and Shota. I thought Kirido-kun was a guy I didn't like, but he was a really nice guy.

拗らせ天の邪鬼も無事に幸せに

Relentless, the evil demon in heaven is also safe and happy

This review contains spoilers. 「僕をダメにする38歳。」のスピンオフ。警察官の律が幸せになるまでのお話。律の生き方やこれまでの人生がとても切ないです。傷つかないように固い殻に閉じこもり、自分の本音を見せないように天の邪鬼な言動を繰り返すのは、誰にも大切にされてこなかったから。そんな律の殻を割るのが純朴で真面目で真っ直ぐで、ちゃんと家族に愛されてきた直矢で良かった。その直矢の家族も血の繋がりはない者同士だけど、だからこそ愛することの大切さがきちんと分かっていて、本当に律と直矢は出会って良かった二人だなと思いました。最後の子供のセリフ、サンタさんずっと待ってたよね!?、では思わず涙。純粋な子供の言い回しがストレートに心に突き刺さりました。予想以上に感動出来るとても良い作品です。

This review contains spoilers. “38 years old who ruined me.” A spin-off of A story about how police officer Ritsu becomes happy. Ritsu's way of life and his life up until now are very sad. The reason why they lock themselves in a hard shell so as not to get hurt and repeat the evil words and actions of heaven so as not to show their true intentions is because no one has taken good care of them. I'm glad that Naoya is naive, serious, and straightforward, and has been properly loved by his family to break the shell of such a rule. Naoya's family are also people with no blood ties, but that's why they really understood the importance of loving each other, and I really thought Ritsu and Naoya were two people who were really glad they met. Santa's been waiting a long time for the last kid's line!? , then I burst into tears. The pure child's phrase stuck straight into my heart. It's a very good work that will leave you more moved than you would have anticipated.

生まれてきた理由とは

What is the reason you were born

This review contains spoilers. 優しく愛されたかった警察官の律さん。優しさの塊の警察官の直矢さんとの出会いで、素直になれないながら惹かれていきます。最初は警察官が…って思ってしまいました。真っ直ぐな直矢さんに振り回されながら？めでたく両思いに。2人とも何のために生まれてきたかの話が好きです。お互いにこの人しかいないと思えるので、本当に良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. Ritsu is a police officer who wanted to be loved kindly. When I met Mr. Naoya, a police officer with a lot of kindness, I was drawn to him even though I couldn't be honest. At first, I thought police officers... while being swayed by a straight Naoya? Congratulations to both of you. They both love talking about what they were born for. We both think this person is the only one, so it was really nice.

俺をダメにする～どころか…

far from ruining me...

ほかの作品にありがちな「素直になれないキャラ」と違って自分でも気持ちに気付いていないところが珍しいタイプです。少しずつ無意識に、自分を心を守るために変わってしまったんでしょうね。ところでほんとに透さんのことが好きだったの？どうなの？笑

Unlike “characters who can't be honest,” which are common in other works, it's a rare type where they don't even notice their own feelings. Little by little, unknowingly, they probably changed in order to protect their own heart. By the way, did you really like Mr. Toru? how is it? lol

感動❤️泣けるし笑えるし素敵なお話

Impressed ❤️ A wonderful story that makes me cry and laugh

This review contains spoilers. 素直になれない警察官巡査のリツと一途にリツを想う警視庁エリート直矢の恋愛ストーリーの中に、二人の深刻な出生や生い立ちが丁寧に描かれていて感動しました。お馴染みゲイバーのママや透君も出番があって、笑いあり涙ありの素敵なお話、オススメです♪

This review contains spoilers. I was moved by the fact that the serious births and upbringings of the two were carefully depicted in the love story between Ritsu, a police officer constable who can't be honest, and the serious births and upbringing of the two were carefully depicted. Mama and Toru-kun from the familiar gay bar also have their turn, and I recommend this wonderful story with laughter and tears ♪
