色々と考えさせられます

It makes me think a lot

This review contains spoilers. 突然、両親を失った兄弟とその兄弟の遠縁にあたるおじさんが兄弟を引き取ったけれどその兄弟たちが暮らすのはおじさんの恋人の家という複雑な構成でした。突然、兄弟をつけてきたのに追い出さずに受け入れるおじさんの恋人・キナさんの懐の深さ・器の大きさがすごいです。無理に取り繕うとしない自然体なところにも強さを感じます。兄弟たちはそれぞれ新しい生活を受け入れて慣れようとしていても、どこか違和感を感じているところが普通な感じがしています。ストーリーも現実で起こりうる問題なので読みやすい中にも考えさせれる部分があります。綺麗ごとで片づけないで、丁寧に考えながら話すキナさんが素敵です。続き、楽しみにしています。

This review contains spoilers. Suddenly, a brother who lost his parents and an old man who is a distant relative of the siblings took in the siblings, but the siblings lived in a complicated structure of the old man's lover's house. The depth of the bosom and size of the vessel of the old man's lover Kina, who suddenly came with her siblings but accepted them without kicking them out, is amazing. I feel strength even in natural places that are not forced to be repaired. Even though each of the siblings is accepting their new lives and trying to get used to it, it is normal that they feel a sense of incongruity. The story is also a problem that can occur in reality, so there are parts that make you think even though it's easy to read. Kina, who talks while thinking carefully without cleaning up everything, is wonderful. I'm looking forward to continuing.

BLそれなりに〜のスピンオフ。擬似家族。

BL is a spinoff of ~ in its own way. pseudo-families.

現在、5巻まだ続く！実は作者さんのだいぶ古い？作品、それなりに真剣なんです（BL）、のスピンオフ！作者さんの作品で特に好きなお話だったので、その関連作が読めてめっちゃ嬉しい〜！女性誌なので、BLとは違うけど、、擬似家族として、彼らの互いへの思いやりや人間関係の良さは、共通したお話の魅力です。それぞれの人物たちが、皆個性的で、急な他人同士での家族で大変ななか、それぞれの成長にも、見ていて気持ちが良い〜！子供たちはカワイイ〜し、良い子！きなちゃんは、器のデカイカッコイイ〜女性！もう〜、続刊がいつも楽しみで読んでいます！

Currently, volume 5 is still going on! Is the author actually quite old? A spin-off of the work, It's Serious in Its Own Way (BL)! It was a story I particularly liked in the author's work, so I'm really happy to be able to read that related work! It's a women's magazine, so it's different from BL, but as a pseudo-family, their compassion for each other and their good relationships is an appeal of common stories. Each character is unique, and it feels good to watch them grow even in the midst of a difficult situation in the midst of a sudden family of strangers! The kids are cute and good kids! Kina-chan is such a cool woman with big vessels! I'm always looking forward to reading the next one!

ストーリーが良い

The story is good

絵も見やすくて良いが何よりもストーリーが良い。現実に起こりそうな問題を苦悩しながらも少しずつでも解決していくし子どもたちとの向き合い方が感心してしまう。

The pictures are easy to read, but above all else, the story is good. While struggling with problems that are likely to occur in reality, they solve them little by little, and I'm impressed by how they deal with children.

色々

various

This review contains spoilers. 絵がとても綺麗なので読み始めたら止まらなくなり最新刊まで読みました。キナちゃんみたいになりたいなぁとか、中々難しいこともあるなぁとか…色々考えながら読んでいました。辛い事もあるけどお兄ちゃん、弟がとても可愛いのが救いです。

This review contains spoilers. The pictures are so beautiful that once I started reading, I couldn't stop and even read the latest edition. I was reading it while thinking about various things, like I want to be like Kina-chan, or that it can be pretty difficult. There are painful things, but the fact that my older brother and younger brother are so cute is a relief.

ちょっと気になって

I'm a little worried

読んでみたら、気になってしまってやめられなくなりました。そんなに楽しい話じゃないんですが、、、でも、兄弟２人が元気にしててよかったです。

After reading it, I was so curious that I couldn't stop. It's not such a fun story... but I'm glad the two siblings are doing well.

キナが好き

I like Kina

孤児を預かるとどうしても過剰に「可哀想な子」という見方をしそうなものだが、キナはそういうのがなく、あくまで等身大の子供として尊重している感じが好感が持てる。大きな展開はないが、ボスママ、ネグレクトなど日常に起こりうる展開だけで読み応えを与えてくれる。

When you take care of orphans, they seem to overly look at them as “poor children,” but Kina doesn't have that kind of thing, and I like the feeling that she respects them just as a life-size child. There are no major developments, but only developments that can occur in everyday life, such as boss mom, neglect, etc., give me a sense of reading.

突然現れた子供たち

Children who suddenly appeared

This review contains spoilers. 両親を亡くした子供2人が親戚のおじさんの恋人の家でお世話になる話。主人公である女性は嫌がるかと思いきや、断らずに受け入れてる。1話のお清めの塩の説明でなんだかグッときたし、他にも名言のようなことを女性が言うんだけど、しんみりする。

This review contains spoilers. A story about two children who lost their parents being taken care of at the home of a relative's uncle's lover. I thought the woman who is the main character wouldn't like it, but she accepted it without refusing. I was kind of surprised by the explanation of cleansing salt in episode 1, and women also say other things like quotes, but it makes me feel relieved.

勉強になる

It's a learning experience

わかっているんだけど言語化が苦手な私は「そうそう、それそれ」って思ったり、短絡的思考の私にはナルホドってみょうに納得することが多い読みごたえあるので、繰り返し読める作品です

I know, but since I'm not good at verbalization, I think “oh yeah, that's it,” and for me who has short circuit thoughts, it's a difficult reading that often convinces me, so it's a work I can read over and over again

Very thought-provoking work

主人公の言葉がとても刺さります！子供が小さいうちにこの漫画に出会えたら良かった〜?とにかく引き込まれる作品で毎回、配信を心待ちにしています‼

The main character's words really stick! Would it be nice if my kids came across this comic while they were little ~? Anyway, it's a work that draws me in, and I'm looking forward to it being distributed every time ‼

ストーリーが心に刺さる

The story sticks to my heart

絵も悪くないですがなんて言ったってストーリーが素晴らしい。1人とて無駄な登場人物はいなくて。フィクションだけど現実的でもあり、一冊の話の中にいくつも心に刺さる場面や言葉があります。すごく好きな作品です。色々考えさせられて心も豊かになります。

The picture isn't bad either, but no matter what you say, the story is amazing. There are no characters that would be useless if they were alone. Although it is fiction, it is also realistic, and there are many scenes and words that stick to the heart in one book of stories. It's a work I really like. It makes me think a lot and enriches my mind.

是非読んで

Be sure to read it

何だろう？心が暖かくなる。キナちゃんが素敵な女性で、色々な出来事が起こる度に考えさせられます。その度に人と人の素敵な繋がりが増えて行きます。何よりハルちゃんが可愛らしい。このまま素直に育って欲しいなあって。

I wonder what it is? It warms my heart. Kina is a wonderful woman, and every time various events happen, it makes me think. Each time, the number of wonderful connections between people increases. Above all, Haru-chan is adorable. I want them to grow up honestly like this.

サバサバが心地良い

Mackerel mackerel is comfortable

状況は最悪なのに、主人公のサバサバした性格でストーリーがサクサク展開していきます。こんな大人が周りにいたらいいな、と思わされます。

Even though the situation is terrible, the story unfolds quickly due to the protagonist's laid-back personality. It makes me think it would be nice if there were adults like this around.

是非とも読んで欲しい

I want you to read it by all means

キナホさんの考え方や物事の捉え方、達観しています。よくある家族もの(擬似家族ですが)にありがちな、綺麗事や説教くささもなく、素直に「自分もこうありたい」と思えました。もちろん、漫画だからかもしれないけれど、だからこそこんな優しい世界があってもいいと思います。

I'm watching Kinaho's way of thinking and how he grasps things. I honestly thought “I want to be like this too,” without any pretty things or bad preaching, which are common family things (although they are pseudo-families). Of course, maybe it's because it's a comic, but that's why I think it's okay to have such a kind world.

安心して読める

I can read it with peace of mind

This review contains spoilers. 暮らしていく中で日々のゴタゴタは多々あれど、基本的に悪人がいないので気持ちよく解決するし、読んでいてストレスがないのが良い。最初はちょっとご都合主義だなぁと思ったけれど、漫画の中でくらい、こういう優しい世界があって良いし、安心して読めます。

This review contains spoilers. There are a lot of daily clutter as we live, but basically there are no bad people, so it's easy to solve, and it's good that there's no stress when reading. At first, I thought it was a bit expedient, but it's nice to have such a kind world, just like in comics, and I can read it with peace of mind.

This review contains spoilers. Haru-kun is the strongest, and Kina-chan and Kami Yurika-chan gradually came to see good places, and I wanted to read the continuation as soon as possible. It's a work I definitely want to buy the new edition... If possible, I'd like to see an animated adaptation that is faithful to the original... I thought it was a reassuring work that would make my heart feel relieved when I was feeling relieved. I love it.

家族の在り方を問う

Ask about the way families are

This review contains spoilers. 血のつながらない人同士が、母、父の役割をしながら暮らして行く様子を描いてますが、母役が考えながらも対応している姿に凄いなと感心してます。日本人は赤の他人を養子にするという事が欧米に比べ少ない。これは日常を淡々と描いていますが考えさせられる作品です。

This review contains spoilers. It depicts how people who are not related by blood live with each other while acting as mother and father, and I am impressed by how the mother character responds while thinking. Compared to Europe and America, there are few cases where Japanese people adopt red strangers. This is a work that bluntly depicts everyday life, but it makes me think.

Who is Aso sensei after a long time

BLではなく家族もの。しかも擬似家族的な？でしょうか？なかなかに難しいテーマを描かれておりますが、結構夢中で早くも5巻（笑）やっぱり、お話の進め方が上手いです！

It's not BL, it's family stuff. What's more, it's like a pseudo-family? Maybe? It depicts a pretty difficult theme, but I'm pretty obsessed with it, and as early as volume 5 (laughs), I'm still good at how to proceed with the story!
