ヒロインが好きです

I like the heroine

This review contains spoilers. 子供だろうと、ボスママであろうと、果ては病院でイライラしているおっさんにもハッキリと意見が言えるヒロインのキナちゃんが好きです。やっぱり子供たちを引き取らなかった祖父祖母達には、少しイヤミも必要ですね(笑)早く次が読みたいです！ところで、キナちゃんは何故結婚したがらないのだろう？ところで、幼稚園のルールがとても面倒くさいな！手提げ鞄は、手縫いだとか、手作り弁当でないと駄目だとか、熱があったら預からないとか！母親の負担が大きすぎる！だから少子化が進むんじゃないか！少子化担当大臣は、現場なんて見ていないんだろうな。自分の給料の事しか考えていないのだろう！

This review contains spoilers. I like the heroine, Kina-chan, who can clearly express her opinions to an old man who is frustrated at the hospital, whether it's a child or a boss mom. My grandparents, who didn't take their children in after all, need a little bit of disgust (laughs) I want to read the next one soon! By the way, why doesn't Kina want to get married? By the way, kindergarten rules are so bothersome! Handbags are hand-sewn, or are useless if they aren't handmade, or if you have a fever, don't keep them! The mother's burden is too great! Isn't that why the declining birthrate is progressing! I wonder if the minister in charge of the declining birthrate hasn't seen the scene. They're probably only thinking about their own salary!

の、ような。

It's like.

突然の事故で両親を亡くした思春期の子と幼い弟と赤の他人の家族物語。親戚縁者が自分のところでは面倒を見れないから〜の場面はよくある展開で、実情は知らないし、そのシーンが無いと物語が始まらないから仕方ないけど、それから赤の他人と結びつけるまでの流れが無くは無い感じがして巧い。キナの相手の気持ちを汲んだ気の回し方や発言がとても感動する。実際、自身の生活もあるのに扶養が増えた挙げ句、メンタルケアまで出来る人が如何ほど居るのか分からないが、良い作品。出来ることはやるし、(親戚に)任せれる事は任せる、何でもかんでも請負いますよーという非現実的な作品で無いだけでも好感。の、ような。というタイトルに惹かれて読み始めたけど、大正解。

A family story about an adolescent who lost his parents in a sudden accident, his little brother, and a stranger in red. The scene where relatives can't take care of you at your place is a common development, and it's unavoidable because I don't know the actual situation, and the story doesn't start without that scene, but it's ingenious because it feels like the flow from then on until you connect with someone in red isn't gone. I'm very moved by Kina's attitude and remarks that capture her partner's feelings. Actually, I don't know how many people can even do mental care even though they have their own lives but their dependents have increased, but it's a great work. I like it just because it's not an unrealistic work where I'll do what I can do, I'll leave what I can entrust (to my relatives), and I'll undertake anything and everything. It's like. I was drawn to the title and started reading it, but it was a great answer.

こんなに時分の考えを人に伝えらるたらなぁーって読み終わってかんじました。人に思いを伝えて、周りが変わっていくかをじが、温かいキモチになります。

I felt like I had finished reading It Wish I Could Convey My Thoughts on Time and Time to People. It gives you a warm feeling when you convey your thoughts to others and how your surroundings are changing.

It's been a long time since the manga stuck in my mind, so it's important to convey it in words.

久々のヒット

A hit after a long time

ためし読みして、そのあと一気に購入してしまいました。主人公の達観した性格と周りの人への関わり方が気持ちよく、自分もこうありたいと思わせてくれます。

I tried reading it and then bought it all at once. The protagonist's personality and the way he relates to the people around him are pleasant, and it makes me want to be like this.

家族のお話

Family stories

This review contains spoilers. かなりハキハキした性格のキナさんだからこそ救われる人と苦手と思う人がいるんだろうな、と思い読み続けていたのですが、愛のあるハキハキさというか、筋が通っているからこそ好かれるのだろうなと思いました☺︎

This review contains spoilers. I kept reading thinking that there are people who can be saved because Kina has a pretty flirtatious personality and people who don't like it, but I thought that they would be liked only because of their love, or rather because it makes sense ☺ ︎

暖かい。

It's warm.

とても暖かいお話です。主人公がいい人すぎる。結婚しない主人公の過去の話も出てくるかと思いますが、いろいろ含めいい大人。主人公の彼氏さんがもう少し主人公への愛情表現があってもいいかなと思いましたが、どれも暖かく優しい話で溢れてます。買ってよかったなと思いました。

It's a very warm story. The main character is too nice. I think past stories about the protagonist who never gets married will also come up, but he's a great adult, including many things. I thought it would be okay if the main character's boyfriend expressed his love for the main character a little more, but they are all full of warm and kind stories. I was glad I bought it.

つながりがたまりません

The connection is irresistible

「それなりに真剣なんです。」が大好きで何度読み返したかわかりません。その登場人物が出てくるだけで嬉しい。けれど、この作品は子育て真っ最中もしくは経験者が相槌打つ箇所がいくつも盛り込まれていて、そのデリケートさに感服します。また、ハルくんが各巻で泣かせてくれます。お兄ちゃんの学友くん、吉岡さんに似てるなと気になってたのですが、新たな繋がりが見えて話の続きが楽しみです。

“It's serious enough.” I love it so much that I don't know how many times I've reread it. I'm happy just to see that character appear. However, this work contains a number of places where people who are in the middle of raising children or who have experienced it hit each other off, and I admire how delicate it is. Also, Haru-kun makes me cry in each volume. I was wondering if he was similar to my older brother Gakuyu-kun and Yoshioka-san, but I can see a new connection and I'm looking forward to continuing the story.

ためし読みからハマりました

I'm addicted to it since trial reading

This review contains spoilers. 実際なかなかない設定だとは思いますが(普通は祖父母か兄弟姉妹が引き取るか施設だと思う。従兄弟が引き取っても彼女の家には住ませないかと…)、でもなんだかキナさんの気持ちも分かる気がするような。この年齢でこの立場こそのキナさんというか。同じような年齢、立場の人は分かる部分もあるのでは。自分にとって他人(恋人の子供でもない)だからこその立ち位置からの目線で、親になろうとはしない。子供にも大人にもきちんと向き合う姿がかっこいいです。なかなかいきなり同居することになった子供にも大人にもキナさんみたいに振る舞える人はいないと思うので。子供たちはすごくかわいいです。続きも楽しみ。

This review contains spoilers. Actually, I don't think it's an easy setting (I think it's usually a facility where grandparents or siblings take it in. I wonder if I'll let her live in her house even if my cousin takes her in...), but it seems like I understand Kina's feelings. I think it's Kina who is in this position at this age. I think there are parts where people of similar ages and positions can be understood. I don't want to be a parent from a standpoint where I stand because I'm someone else (not my lover's child). The way they properly deal with both children and adults is so cool. I don't think there are any children or adults who can act like Kina, who so suddenly end up living together. The kids are so cute. I'm looking forward to the continuation.

早く先が読みたい作品です。

This is a work I want to read soon.

「新しいお父さんとお母さんなの？」という子供の問いに「お父さんとお母さんの代わりはいないけれど、一緒にいてもいい？」と語りかけるキナちゃん。「家族にならなくちゃ」と無理するのではなく、”人として”接するキナちゃん。キナちゃんは「理性の人」なんだと思います。気負わず理性的に公平に。このスタンスは読んでいて安心します。全体的なテンションは低めに感じるかもですが、本来の日常って、そういうものだと思うし、この作家さんらしい雰囲気だと思います。末っ子、ハルくんのキュルン☆とした可愛さは天使です（笑）お兄ちゃん・冬真くんは、まだ何か一人で考えてる風ですが、いずれ全開の笑顔が見れますように。キナちゃんはたくさん良いことを言ってくれているので「漫画だから綺麗ごとばかり」と切り捨てず、前向きな気持ちで読んでほしい作品です。

“Are you a new dad and mom?” In response to the child's question, “There are no substitutes for mom and dad, can we stay together?” Kina-chan talks to me. Kina-chan treats her “as a person” rather than overdoing it by saying “we have to become a family.” I think Kina is a “rational person.” Be rational and fair without hesitation. I'm relieved to read this stance. You may feel that the overall tension is low, but I think the original everyday life is like that, and I think the atmosphere is typical of this artist. The youngest son, Haru-kun's cuteness like Kyurun ☆ is an angel (laughs) My older brother, Fuyuma-kun, is still thinking about something alone, but I hope we'll be able to see his full smile someday. Kina-chan says a lot of good things, so I want you to read this work with a positive feeling without cutting it down as “it's a comic, so it's all pretty.”

自分が主人公の立場だったら多分同じようには出来ないけど、読んでいて続きがとても気になるお話です。次巻が出たら迷わず買います！彼氏がなかなかのクズだと思うので、個人的には主人公とお兄ちゃんがどうにかならないかなと不真面目な事を考えています

If I were in the position of the main character, I probably wouldn't be able to do the same thing, but I'm very concerned about the continuation as I read it. I won't hesitate to buy the next volume when it comes out! I think my boyfriend is pretty bad, so personally I'm thinking about something unserious about the main character and older brother getting along

待ちきれなかった３巻

I couldn't wait for volume 3

This review contains spoilers. 彼氏はいるけど結婚しないと言っていた小説家のナホが、いきなり彼氏の従姉妹の遺児二人との四人暮らしになって…という始まりに、虐○か？それとも育児苦労話か？と思いましたが、いい意味で裏切られました。二人ともいい子です。従姉妹さんの教育がよかったんだな。ナホも無理に「母親」になろうとはしないで、でも「教育」「躾」はちゃんとする。母親代わりとしてでなく、一人の人間として向き合う。無神経なことを言ってしまったハルに「言われた方の気持ちを考えてから口にしろ」と諭し、幼稚園児相手だからと甘やかさない。ママ友の駄目なところはずばっと指摘するけど、そのママが娘の為に慣れない裁縫を頑張ったことを、「可愛くないから嫌だ」と駄々をこねる娘に「頑張ったママは格好いいぞ」とフォローする。親子じゃない、ルームメイトでもない、でも「家族」。それをお互いが押しつけ合わない、不思議な関係。優しい絵柄がよく合うと思います。

This review contains spoilers. The novelist Naho, who said she has a boyfriend but won't get married, suddenly starts living with four people with her boyfriend's two orphaned cousins... is that abusive? Or is it a story about the hardships of childcare? I thought, but I was betrayed in a good way. They're both good kids. Your cousin's education was good, wasn't it? Naho doesn't force herself to become a “mother,” but she does her “education” and “education.” They face each other as a single person, not as a mother's replacement. He admonishes Haru, who has said something insensitive, to “think about the feelings of the person being told before saying it,” and he doesn't spoil him because he is dealing with kindergarten children. I always point out bad things about my mom's friend, but I follow up on the fact that mom worked hard at sewing that she wasn't used to for her daughter, and she whines “I don't like it because it's not cute,” saying “Mom who worked hard is cool.” Not parents and children, not roommates, but “family.” It's a strange relationship where they don't force it on each other. I think the gentle design fits well.

好きだけど

I like it but

This review contains spoilers. 自分が“きなちゃん”の立場だったら無理だなぁ。そもそも彼氏が酷い。子供たちはいい子だけど、それと一緒に暮らす事は話が別。ただ、漫画なのでいい話だと思いながら読めます。

This review contains spoilers. I wouldn't be able to do it if I were in the position of “Kina-chan.” First of all, my boyfriend is terrible. Kids are good kids, but living with them is a different story. However, since it's a comic, I can read it while thinking it's a good story.

The amount of standing reading was increased, so I was curious when I watched it, so it was a hit when I bought it. I was worried about the continuation, so I bought it all at once. Kina-chan is a good-natured, and kind adult, and dealing with Haru-chan and Fuyuma makes me feel very relaxed. I want to read the rest soon.

本当に大切なことって何かなって考える

I wonder what is really important

漫画だからってキレイさもあるけど、読んでいて素直に私も人に優しくしようと思える作品です思った事を正直に口にしたり行動に移す人に対して、嫌悪感を持つか良いと思うかの違いは、それが自分の利害だけを考えての事か相手を思いやっての事かの違いなのかなーと思いましたもちろんキナちゃんは後者いい子すぎる兄弟だけど、弟くんの方は熱にうなされてでもちゃんと泣けて良かった普段は天真爛漫だけど、小さいなりに戦ってる姿にギュッとなるお兄ちゃんの方はまだまだ頑張ってしまってそうなので、少しずつでもほぐされていって欲しいなーこれからもっともっと幸せになって

It's also beautiful because it's a comic, but when I read it, I honestly think I'm going to be kind to people. The difference between whether you think it's okay to have disgust for people who honestly say or act on what you think is the difference between thinking only about your own interests or caring for the other person. Of course, Kina-chan is a brother who is too nice, but my younger brother is usually innocent, but I'm glad I was able to cry properly even when he was feverish, but I'm glad I was able to cry properly. It seems that my older brother, who is tight when he is small, is still doing his best, so I want him to relax little by little - be even happier from now on

成長し続けるのに必要な要素が詰まってる！

It's packed with the elements necessary to keep growing!

実際の家族でこの内容だと「そうは言ってもそんな理想的なメンタリティ、家族の構成員全員が維持出来るはずない」と反発して入って来ない可能性が高い内容。あえて他人同士で家族の形態を整えようとすることで家族の構成員全員が冷静に中立的な考えでお互いがお互いを支え合い、協力し、成長し合う理想的な家族像をものすごく説得力のある形で成立させているように感じる。家族が成長していく内容の中に、人として成長し続けるのに必要な要素が沢山詰まっていてものすごく勉強になるし、何よりどのキャラクターも応援したくなる！！特に息子くんたちがどう成長していくのかが楽しみでしょうがない！！！

If it is an actual family with this content, there is a high possibility that they will not come in because “even so, there is no way that all members of the family can maintain such an ideal mentality.” By daring to set up a family form with others, I feel that all members of the family have calmly and neutral ideas to establish an ideal family image where they support each other, cooperate, and grow together in an extremely persuasive form. There are so many elements necessary to keep growing as a person in the content where the family grows, so it's a tremendous learning experience, and above all, I want to support every character!! I can't wait to see how my sons grow in particular!!!
