期待以上の作品

Works that exceed expectations

レビューが多いので、半信半疑でためし読みしたら、実に面白い。夫婦ではない二人が、両親を事故でなくした兄弟を引き取り、少しずつ家族になっていく話。小説家のキナが、実に気持ちのいい性格。ダメなことはダメ、ぶれない。できる範囲で兄弟を受け止めようとする。穏やかで、でもきっと我慢してるんだろうなというお兄さんと、素直でかわいい弟。この二人も実にいいです。読むとあたたかくなります。まだ二巻まで購入していませんが、先が楽しみです。

There are a lot of reviews, so if you try reading it with half a doubt, it's really interesting. It's a story about two people who aren't husband and wife take in siblings who lost their parents in an accident, and little by little they become a family. The novelist Kina has a really pleasant personality. Bad things don't work, don't blur. I try to accept my siblings to the extent I can. An older brother who is calm but is sure to put up with it, and a younger brother who is honest and cute. These two are really nice too. It warms me when I read it. I haven't bought up to 2 volumes yet, but I'm looking forward to the future.

最高でした

It was awesome

作品の存在は知ってました、値下げしてて購入。もっと早く読んでればよかったと後悔。二人の子供健気だし、きなちゃんが1人の人間としてとても尊敬する。芯が通っててちゃんと自分の意見をいう。人のことも良く見えてて思いやりがありこんな素敵な女性になりたいと。何度も読み返してます。

I knew the work existed, so I bought it at a reduced price. I regret that I should have read it sooner. The two children are doing well, and I really respect Kina-chan as a single person. Get the point across and express your own opinions properly. I want to be such a wonderful woman who can see people well and is compassionate. I've reread it over and over again.

言葉選びがとても上手

Very good at choosing words

This review contains spoilers. きなこさんの懐の広さが素敵です。急に子どもたち二人連れて来られてよう対応できるなー。文章をかく仕事をしてるだけあって、いい意味で弁が立つ。もし、自分がその場にいたら、そんなにちゃんと言えるのかな、子供に対してしっかり向き合えるのかなと考えさせられます。本当に、なんて気がついて、いい人なんだと思います。今後、きなこさんも含め、周りの方のことを深く描いてくれるのかなーと期待してますが、あまり闇が深くならないといいです。漫画の中は皆幸せに過ごしてくれることを期待します。楽しみにしてます。

This review contains spoilers. The size of Kinako's pocket is wonderful. I can handle being brought in two children all of a sudden. I'm just writing sentences, so I can speak up in a good sense. It makes me think that if I were there, I would be able to say that properly, and whether I would be able to deal well with children. I really, really noticed, and I think he's a nice person. I'm hoping that in the future, the people around me, including Kinako, will be drawn in depth, but I hope the darkness doesn't get too deep. I hope that everyone in the manga will have a happy time. I'm looking forward to it.

かっこいい

coolest

This review contains spoilers. キナさんの仕事柄か、考え方や伝え方、人を見る目ががとてもかっこよく、こんな生き方できる人が羨ましい。ただちゃんと時間を決めて寝て欲しい（笑）

This review contains spoilers. Probably because of Kina's work, her way of thinking, her way of communicating, and her way of looking at people is so cool, I envy people who can live this way. I just want you to set a proper time and go to sleep (laughs)

不器用だけど誠実で優しい関係

A clumsy but sincere and kind relationship

それぞれがどうしようもなく不器用なのに不器用だからこそ誠実で優しい関係が素敵血縁よりも思いやりの絆が温かくて素敵な話

It's a wonderful story where a sincere and gentle relationship is wonderful because they are both helpless and clumsy, and the bond of compassion is warmer and more wonderful than blood relationships

楽しみにしています

I look forward to it

少しお値段がよろしいですが、それでも新刊が出ると即購入してしまいます。話も淡々と進みますが、相手を想うやり取りに心が満たされます。そしてまた最初から読んでしまいます?

The price is fine, but even so, I buy it as soon as the new issue comes out. The conversation progresses slowly, but my heart is filled with the exchange of feelings for the other person. And then end up reading it from the beginning again?

あっという間にいつも読んでしまう。少し経ってまた読み返したりしてる。日常の何気ない会話とかやりとりとか、人付き合いとか、その雰囲気とかを表現するのがとても上手だし、読みながら少し前に戻って確認して読んだり。

I read it all the time in a blink of an eye. After a while, I reread it again. I'm very good at expressing everyday casual conversations and interactions, relationships, etc., and that atmosphere, and while reading, I go back a little bit and check before reading.

大好きな作品です。

It's a work I love.

家族って血の繋がりじゃないんだなと思える素敵なお話です。キナちゃんの考え方がとても素敵で、ものの伝え方もすごく素敵で、さすが物書きを生業にしてるだけのことはあるなと感じます。キナちゃんの作品を読んでみたいです。ドラマ化もそのうちされそうな…？

It's a wonderful story that makes you think families aren't related by blood. Kina's way of thinking is so wonderful, and the way she conveys things is so wonderful, and as expected, I feel that she just makes a living as a writer. I'd like to read Kina-chan's works. it looks like it will be made into a drama soon...?

素敵な家族

A lovely family

This review contains spoilers. ある日突然彼氏が親戚の子供を引き取ってきたのにすんなり受け入れる主人公の懐の深さは凄い。(彼もいい人だし子供達も健気)血の繋がりがあろうがなかろうが、とても暖かくて素敵な家族。いつ完結になるのかわからないけど、完結してから買えばよかった…と思うくらい一気に最後まで読みたくなる作品です。

This review contains spoilers. The depth of love of the protagonist, who readily accepts even though her boyfriend suddenly takes in a relative's child one day, is amazing. (He's a nice person and his kids are healthy) A very warm and wonderful family, whether they have blood ties or not. I don't know when it will be completed, but it's a work that makes me want to read it all the way to the end so much that I think I should have bought it after it's finished...

This review contains spoilers. 読んでて家族でも無関心や放置が多いのにちゃんと向き合い楽しく過ごす方向にお互い思いやり話し合いこれが｢家族｣という形なんだろうなぁ～とおもいました。他人同士が暮らす中、家族のようなそんな形を作っていくお話です。

This review contains spoilers. Even though there is a lot of apathy and neglect when reading it, we had compassion discussions with each other in the direction of properly facing them and having a good time, and I was wondering if this is a form of “family.” It's a story about how others live with each other and create such a form like a family.

健気過ぎて泣ける

I'm so energetic that I can cry

子供達が健気過ぎて泣ける。なんだ、もっとわがまま言って良いんだよと言いたくなる。脇役の子供達も健気かよ。ダメな大人に気を遣いすぎて、その健気さに号泣。

The kids are so healthy that I can cry. Why, it makes me want to say it's okay to be more selfish. Are the supporting kids doing well too? I cared too much about bad adults, and I cried at their health.

いろんな人に読んで欲しい

I want many people to read it

色々思うところはある不思議な漫画ですが、出てくるキャラクターは何かしら抱えていながらも、良い方向に改善しようとする意図があるのは良かった。それぞれの立場で葛藤はあれど、皆bestな幸せな状況にしたいと言う節なる気持ちが伝わる素敵な漫画です。この作品を読むと、自分以外の人が幸せになれる方法を考えられる人には、幸せになって欲しいと切に願うばかりです。日常に追われながらも気持ちが温かくなるエピソードが多く、大人も子どもも成長が楽しみな作品です。

It's a strange comic with many things to think about, but it was nice that the characters that appear had some kind of intention to improve it in a good direction. It's a wonderful comic that conveys the feeling that everyone wants to be in the best happy situation, even though there are conflicts in their respective positions. When I read this work, I just sincerely hope that people who can think of ways to make people other than themselves happy will be happy. There are many episodes that make you feel warm while being chased by everyday life, and it is a work where both adults and children can enjoy growing up.

切ないけどほっこりする

It's sad but it makes me feel relaxed

登場人物がみんな可愛らしく、傷ついているのに不器用ながらそれぞれを気遣っていて、読んでいてとてもほっこりします。読み始めたら止まらなくなる漫画です。

All of the characters are cute, and even though they are hurt, they are clumsy yet care about each one, and I feel so relieved when I read it. It's a comic you won't be able to stop once you start reading it.

大好きです

I love it

This review contains spoilers. キナちゃんが結婚しない理由がきになりますが、血は繋がってなくてもお互いに思いやって一緒に住むのは、とてもいいと思います。キナちゃんが先入観なくフラットで、年齢も性別も関係なくみんなに接することができるからですが、そうなるとなおいっそう結婚しない理由が気になります。

This review contains spoilers. The reason why Kina-chan doesn't get married is interesting, but I think it would be great for them to live together in a caring way even if they aren't related by blood. This is because Kina is flat with no preconceptions, and she can treat everyone regardless of age or gender, but when that happens, I'm even more concerned about the reason why she doesn't get married.

主人公のまっすぐな性格が好き

I like the protagonist's straight personality

突然彼氏が子ども二人を引き取ってくるというところから始まります。ええーっな設定ですが、ドタバタしたり激しい内容だったりではなくて、テンション低めのほのぼの＋スッキリといった雰囲気です。テンションは低いけど暗くはなくて、読みやすかったです。どうして結婚しないのかなど、これから主人公の過去やトラウマが明らかになってくるのかなーと思います。

It starts when all of a sudden my boyfriend takes in my two children. Well, it's a nice setting, but it's not slapstick or intense content, and the atmosphere is heartwarming with low tension and refreshment. The tension was low but it wasn't dark, and it was easy to read. I wonder if the protagonist's past and traumas will come to light from now on, such as why they don't get married.
