兎に角

Horns on rabbits

キナちゃんがえらく漢！懐が広く深い。なんて出来た人間なんだ。そして愁人のダメっぷり。よくこいつがキナちゃんと付き合えたな。って頭の隅に暫く残るが、どんどんハマってキナちゃんが淡々として当たり前と捉える行動に泣かされます。

Kina-chan is such a khan! My heart is wide and deep. What a made human being. And there are so many bad things about sad people. this guy was able to hang out with Kina-chan. It stays in the corner of my head for a while, but I'm getting more and more addicted to it, and it makes me cry by the behavior that Kina-chan takes for granted.

公園で

At the park

主人公の女の人が言った言葉が印象に残りました。私自身ズバッと言えないことが多く後から後悔することが多いので読んでいた爽快でした。話の始まりが悲しい感じだったので読むのを悩んだのですが、これは続きを読みたいです。

The words spoken by the main character, the woman, left an impression on me. There are many things I can't say right away myself, and I often regret it later, so it was exhilarating to read it. The beginning of the story was sad, so I had trouble reading it, but I want to continue reading this.

家族のカタチはそれぞれ

Each family has its own shape

普通って何だろう?と改めて自分の頭のかたさを思い知らされる作品です。キナさんのうつわの大きさがとても羨ましいです。この素敵な家族がしあわせで、周りの人たちの心を優しい世界に変えてくれることを願います。まだ私は心のドロドロと闘っていますが…次巻たのしみにしています。

what is normal? It's a work that once again reminds me how hard my head is. I'm so envious of the size of Kina's vessels. I hope this wonderful family will be happy and change the hearts of those around them into a kind world. I'm still struggling with the mud in my heart... I'm looking forward to the next volume.

ハルが可愛いキナの思考が良き

Kina, whose Haru is cute, has good thoughts

一気読み。続きが読みたい。来年かな…。先ずは幼稚園児のハルが可愛い。可愛いモノが大好きな所もいいね。段々と自我が出てきているのも子供らしい。そして、何よりも突然母親役をするキナが良い。彼女は両親を事故で失った兄弟を、恋人から頼まれて育ててるけれど、多分もともとそう言う性格の設定だけれど、文句も言わずに、でも言うことは言うって形で面倒を見ている。小説家？って設定だから、ずっと家にいるけれど、締切前はかなりグロッキーで、その時は兄弟のお兄ちゃんに頼りっきりになったり、彼氏も手伝うようになってきて頼ったり、彼女は自分でダメな時はダメって言うようにして、バランスを取ってる気がする。この物語はファンタジーだけれど、例え血が通ってなくても家族になれるコト、人は頼るコトの大切さ、人を助けるコトはつらくない、可哀想に見えても可哀想じゃないこともあるよって事ととか、現実社会で問題になりそうなコトを描き出してくれてるから、気付きが多い。フィクションだからノンフィクションと異なるかもしれないけれど、他人と一緒にいるのは悪くないよってコトを思い出させてくれてる。

Read it all at once. I want to read more. Maybe next year... First of all, kindergarten kid Haru is cute. It's also nice that they love cute things. The fact that my ego is gradually coming out seems to be a child. And above all else, Kina, who suddenly plays the role of a mother, is good. She is raising her siblings, who lost their parents in an accident, at the request of her lover, and although they probably originally had such personality settings, she takes care of them by saying what they say without complaining. novelist? That's the setting, so I'm staying at home the whole time, but before the deadline, I was pretty groggy, and at that time, I completely relied on my brother's older brother, and my boyfriend started helping and relied on her, and I feel like she was getting the balance right by saying no when she wasn't good on her own. This story is fantasy, but since it depicts things that seem to be a problem in the real world, such as being able to become a family even if there is no blood, the importance of people being able to rely on, the fact that helping people isn't hard, and there are times when they seem pathetic, it's not pathetic, etc., so I've noticed a lot. It's fiction, so it might be different from non-fiction, but it reminds me that being with others isn't bad.

家族の形

The shape of a family

夫婦ではないキナちゃんと愁人が、愁人の亡き従姉妹の遺児二人と暮らしていくお話。メインはハルなのかな。幼稚園での出来事、人間関係が丁寧に描かれている。冬真の学校生活…「みっちゃん」との因縁も細かく描写されていて、キレイゴトでは片づかない関係を上手く落とし込んでいると感じました。手のかからない子供達なので子育てのリアルを知っている人には不満かもしれないけど、こういう家族の形もありではないかなと思います。ただ、冬真とハルの両方の祖父母はもっとキナちゃんと愁人に感謝した方がいい。

This is a story about Kina-chan and Nobuhito, who are not a married couple, living with two orphaned children of Kobeto's late cousin. I wonder if Haru is the main one. The events and relationships in kindergarten are carefully depicted. Fuyuma's school life... The causal relationship with “Micchan” was also described in detail, and I felt that the relationship that would not be settled by being clean was well incorporated. They are unmanageable children, so they may be dissatisfied with people who know the reality of raising children, but I think this kind of family shape is also possible. However, both Fuyuma and Haru's grandparents should be more grateful to Kina-chan and Sadahito.

素敵な家族のあり方です。

It's a wonderful way to be a family.

家族はいちばん難しい関係だけど、お互いが少しずつ、思いやる優しさでこのような関係もあるなと感じた。特にきなちゃんの考え方にナイス！こんな人がそばにいたら無敵。世の中の親御さん、いや全ての大人の方々に読んでいただきたい！

Family is the most difficult relationship, but little by little, I felt that they also have this kind of relationship because of their kindness and compassion for each other. Especially nice about Kina-chan's way of thinking! You're invincible when you have someone like this by your side. I want parents and all adults in the world to read it!

たくさんの人に読んでほしい。

I want lots of people to read it.

本当におすすめの作品です。日常の何気ない一コマかもしれないけれど、その中での大人目線の感情や子供目線の感情、微笑ましいシーンだったり涙が出てきてしまうシーンだったり、読み進めてどんどん好きになる作品です。普段味わうことのない感情で心温まる作品です。

I really recommend this work. It may be a casual scene from everyday life, but it is a work that you will fall in love with more and more as you read it, with emotions from an adult perspective, emotions from a child's point of view, and smiling scenes and scenes where tears come out. It's a heartwarming work with emotions you wouldn't normally experience.

色々と考えさせられる

It makes me think a lot

たしかに、いくら彼氏の親戚だろうと全く自分には関係のない子供を、しかもいきなり連れて来て一緒に生活をっていうのは漫画だからの話で、現実では想像できないことだけど、それでもこの話はここからが始まりで、ハルや冬馬の存在で、確かにアキトは変わってきていて、最新刊は父性が出てきたと感じた。キナちゃんがああいう性格だから上手くいっているのであって、それも漫画だからだけど、キナちゃんもアキトと2人だけだった頃よりハルや冬馬の存在で関わっていく人が増えて、まだキナちゃんの過去のことに触れられていないからあくまで予想だけど、アキトと籍をいれていないことなんかも変わっていくと思う。最新刊でアキトが少し言っていたセリフのように、2人の実の子供じゃないからこそ、だからこそ結果良かったってなるんだと思う。キナちゃんの考え方や言っていることは、なんかハッと考えさせられたり、納得したりするものがあって、私にはこの作品は面白いだけじゃない、ちょっと特別な作品になっている。

Certainly, no matter how close they are to my boyfriend's relatives, it's a story about suddenly bringing in a child that has nothing to do with me, and it's something I can't imagine in reality, but even so, this story starts here, and with the presence of Haru and Fuuma, Akito has certainly changed, and I felt that fatherhood came up in the latest edition. Kina-chan has that kind of personality, so she's doing well, and that's also because it's a comic, and the number of people getting involved with Kina-chan due to the presence of Haru and Fuuma has increased since there were only 2 people with Akito, and since they haven't touched on Kina-chan's past yet, it's just a prediction, but I think things like not being enrolled with Akito will also change. Like the line that Akito said a little bit in the latest edition, I think that's why the results were good because they weren't two real children. There are things that make me think and agree with Kina's way of thinking and saying something, and for me, this work is not only interesting; it's a slightly special work.

Oh, Ikinari parenting

いやあ、未就学児と中学生でしょう、の男の子二人。半ば同棲みたいな彼がイキナリ連れてきちゃうんですから。ヒロインにとってみれば血のつながりも義理も無いのに。絶対断らないと自信満々な辺りがまた

Well, two boys, preschoolers and middle school students. He, who seems like they're living together for half time, is bringing Ikinari in. From the heroine's point of view, there are no blood connections or in-laws. There is another area full of confidence if you never say no

新刊が楽しみ

I'm looking forward to the new publication

それぞれがそれぞれを思いやり、不器用ながら生活している様子が描かれていて面白いです。読みながら恋人の事や親に対して意固地になってしまってるかもと思い返したりしてます。読み終わると必ずもっと優しさを持って人に接しようとか、間違いをおかしたときは素直に謝ろうとか思ったりします。

It's interesting because it depicts how each one cares for each other and lives while being clumsy. While reading it, I think back and think back about my lover and maybe I've become determined towards my parents. When I finish reading it, I always think that I will treat people with more kindness, and when I make a mistake, I will honestly apologize.

家族の在り方を問う

Ask about the way families are

This review contains spoilers. そういう作品だと思います。両親が亡くなっているのに引き取れないと言う、親類縁者に唖然としましたが。渋々一人ずつ別に引き取られて、恩着せがましく面倒みられるより、ずっと健全な家族の在り方でしょうね。人が生活するうえでの、リアリティが追及されているので、違和感なく読み進められます。特に亡くなった母親の作った料理の味と違うという話はお勧めです。あそこまでできる人は、なかなかいないと思います。周りの人々も、現代社会で取り上げられている様々な問題を抱えている人たちです。下の子が通っているのが保育園でないのがおかしいという指摘がありましたが、年度途中の転園で恐らく空きがなかったのでしょう。待機児童のこともありますが、親代わりの彼女の仕事が在宅であるということも、ネックになっているのだと思います。幼稚園ですが、保育園に近い業態の園のようですし。待機児童などの問題も今後取り上げられるかもしれませんが。一点気になったのは、祖母が払っているのが、上の子の携帯代というくだりです。生活費の一部ぐらいは親族で負担すべきでしょうね。転校先の制服など全て預かり先で用意していたようですし。

This review contains spoilers. I think that's the kind of work. I was stunned by relatives who said they couldn't take them in even though their parents had passed away. It's probably a much healthier family than being reluctantly taken in separately one by one and being taken care of in a sympathetic manner. It pursues reality in people's lives, so you can read on without any sense of incongruity. In particular, I recommend the story that the taste is different from that of the food made by the deceased mother. I don't think there are many people who can go that far. The people around them are also people who are facing various issues that have been taken up in modern society. There was an indication that it was strange that the younger child was attending was not a nursery school, but there were probably no vacancies due to the transfer of kindergarten in the middle of the fiscal year. There are also waiting children, but I think the fact that her job as a parent is from home is also a bottleneck. It's a kindergarten, but it seems like a kindergarten with a business type close to preschool. Issues such as waiting children may also be taken up in the future. One thing that bothered me was that what my grandmother was paying was my older child's cell phone bill. Relatives should probably cover about part of the living expenses. It seems that all the uniforms etc. for the transfer destination were prepared at the storage office.

一気読みしました

I read it all at once

誰の立場になって読んでみても切ないものがありますが、４人での生活に不幸な雰囲気はありません。（キナちゃんスゴイ）キナちゃんの過去は何かありそうですが、仕事が作家さんだけあって説得力があります。現実でこのように回りも上手く巻き込むのは難しいですけど。。男の子２人はとにかく健気で（かわいいのはもちろんのこと）。特に冬真君はもっと子供らしくして欲しいなとは感じますが、実の親にでも気を遣う子もいるので、今の所は仕方ないかなと納得してみたり。家族って「コレをしてくれて当たり前」になってしまうし、自分都合な考えが１人でもいると周りが疲弊していくものですが、この４人は補い合いながら都度進んでいく家族。多少の制限はあったとしても皆で楽しみながら生活していけるんだろうなって、ある意味理想的に感じました。キナちゃんカップル、２人の子供、４人でのこれからも気になります。最終巻まで追います。

There are things that are sad no matter who you put yourself in when reading it, but there is no unhappy atmosphere in life with 4 people. (Kina-chan is amazing) There seems to be something in Kina-chan's past, but she is persuasive because she only works as an artist. In reality, it's difficult to get involved so well... Anyway, the two boys are healthy (not to mention cute). In particular, I feel that Fuyuma-kun would like him to be more like a child, but there are children that even their real parents are concerned about, so I was convinced that this is unavoidable. Family members “take it for granted” and when there is even one person with ideas that are convenient for them, people around them become exhausted, but these 4 people are a family that progresses each time while making up for each other. It felt ideal in a sense that even if there were some restrictions, everyone would be able to enjoy their lives. I'm interested in the future with the Kina-chan couple, 2 kids, and 4 people. I'll follow you until the last volume.

いい子たちすぎる

they're too good kids

両親亡くして急に知らない人達と暮らす子供の葛藤、子供を引き取ることを決めた主人公カップルの葛藤。全ての人に焦点が当てられて様々な視点で色んなことを考えさせられる。困難をみんなで乗り越えていくときの子供たちがいい子すぎる。また、問題の全部が全部解決しないところがまたリアルでいい。キナたちと同世代だが、同じ状況に陥ったときこんな懐の広い対応ができるだろうかすごく人として尊敬する。みんな幸せになってほしい

The conflict between a child who suddenly lives with people they don't know after losing their parents, and the conflict between the main character couple who decide to adopt a child. The focus is on everyone and it makes me think about various things from various perspectives. Children are too good when we all overcome difficulties. Also, it's nice that not all of the problems are solved in real life. They are of the same generation as Kina and the others, and I really respect them as people who wonder if they can handle such a broad range of people when they fall into the same situation. I want everyone to be happy

切ないやら可愛いやら

I wonder if it's sad or cute

両親が事故でなくなりそんなに関わりが深くない親戚に引き取られるけっこう重めな出だし大好き両親が急に亡くなってしまった兄弟2人の気持ちを見ると切なくて涙が出ます。引き取られた先が人生の師匠にしたいくらい器が広くて男前なキナちゃん。うんうんって頷きならも読めるしキナちゃんからもらう気づきでみんなが前向きになれるのを見てとっても気持ちが前向きになれる。ハル君の可愛さやいじらしさや素直さが国宝級で心臓に悪いほどキュンとしまくっております^ ^

I'm sad and tearful when I see the feelings of the two siblings, whose parents died due to an accident and are taken in by relatives who aren't that closely involved, it's a pretty heavy start and their beloved parents have suddenly passed away. Kina is so well-mannered and handsome that she wants to be her mentor for life when she was taken in. I can read it even when I nod, and I feel so positive when I see that everyone can be positive with the awareness that Kina-chan gets. Haru-kun's cuteness, playfulness, and honesty are at the national treasure level, making me cringe so bad for my heart ^ ^

心がほっとするような作品

A work that will make your heart feel relieved

This review contains spoilers. 両親が亡くなったことから始まるお話でどこか苦しくなるような気持ちになりますが、キナちゃんの考え方が血の繋がり以上に大切なことを教えてくれます。きっとたくさんのことを気遣っているとは思うのですが、キナちゃんをはじめとする大人達の話が「こんな考え方もあって社会は形成されているよね」と感じさせてくれます。否定するばかりでもなく、こんな道もあるよねと心が軽くなる作品です。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story that begins with her parents passing away, and it makes me feel somewhat painful, but it tells me that Kina-chan's way of thinking is more important than blood ties. I'm sure they care about a lot of things, but the stories of adults, starting with Kina-chan, make me feel that “society was formed because of this way of thinking, too.” It's a work that not only denies it, but also lightens my heart to think that there is such a path.
