考えさせられました

It made me think

一言でいえば、良い作品でした。キナさんの、人としての本質的な感情を理性的に持っていってるところがなかなか出来ないことだなと感じました。突然、会った事もない子どもと暮らすことになり、慣れないことは面倒と感じるが、それを楽しもうと思う。なんて、小さい器の私には到底考えもできない。物事は自分の考えようだ、と改めて思わされた。ふとした時に読み返したい作品になりました。

In a nutshell, it was a good work. I felt that it was difficult to rationally carry Kina's essential emotions as a human being. Suddenly, I'm living with a child I've never met, and I feel that not getting used to it is troublesome, but I think I'll enjoy it. I can't even think of it as a small vessel. It made me think again that things seemed like my own. It became a work I wanted to reread by accident.

ドラマ化してほしい

I want it to be made into a drama

主人公のしっかりさに、適当に生きてる自分が恥ずかしくなりました…切なさと微笑ましさのバランスが絶妙。正義を振りかざしすぎないとこもすきよ。まだ2巻ですが、この作品が長く続くことを願って★5つです！

The main character's steadiness made me feel ashamed of myself for living properly... the balance between sadness and smiles is perfect. I also like that they don't spread too much about justice. It's still 2 volumes, but I hope this work lasts a long time ★ 5!

突然の家族→ごっこと現実は違います。

Reality is different from a sudden family → pretend.

これから色々お話がより広がって深くなっていくのに、キナさんの過去とかわかる時が来るのでしょうか。楽しみでありちょっと怖い気もします。

Since various stories will expand and become deeper from now on, will there come a time when we can understand Kina's past? I'm looking forward to it, and I also feel a little scared.

いい大人

A good adult

いい作品に出会えました。自由に生きているようで、実はすごくしっかりした考え方の主人公にハマりました。子供達もいい子だけど、大人が凄くいい人です。

I was able to find a good work. I'm addicted to the protagonist, who seems to be living freely, and actually has a very firm way of thinking. Kids are nice kids, but adults are really nice people.

作家買い

Buy an artist

どのジャンルでも安心の作家さん！ただただ好みです。キナの発言力にヒヤヒヤするけどスッパと言えたら気持ち良いのが羨ましいです、そしてハルの将来が楽しみ〜可愛いは無敵！

A safe writer in any genre! I just like it. I'm horrified by Kina's ability to speak, but I'm envious that it feels so good to be able to say that it feels good, and I'm looking forward to Haru's future ~ cuteness is invincible!

オススメの一冊！

I recommend this book!

This review contains spoilers. キナちゃんが、とっても良い考えをする大人でいいな。突然両親を失った兄弟の理解者であり、味方であろうとする…。誰だって、突然大人になる訳でも、親になる訳でもない。身近な大人も自己保身になる。こういう関係も良いな…。

This review contains spoilers. It would be nice if Kina was an adult with very good thoughts. They understand siblings who suddenly lost their parents, and they try to be on their side... No one suddenly becomes an adult, nor does it become a parent. Adults close to them also protect themselves. this kind of relationship is good too...

怒濤の展開で、

Due to the furious development,

誰もがドタバタしてるけど、相手の気持ちを尊重してて助け合いが愛らしい。どう進むのか、そして過去に何があるのか気になるところです。

Everyone is slapstick, but they respect the other person's feelings and they are adorable when helping each other. I'm wondering how it's going to go and what's in the past.

レビュー変えます！

I'll change my review!

This review contains spoilers. 四巻まで読んで、レビュー更新したく、なりました。読んだ方が、良い！と、言い出したい作品です。人として、大切な事が描かれている作品だと感じます。星も増やします。キナさんが、すごく人として素敵で、偉いです。大切な事は、教える。けれど傲らない。過去にトラウマがあるようで、そこはまだ本格的に描かれていませんが、最後どうなるのか楽しみな漫画です。両親を突然事故で亡くした兄弟が、ほとんど初対面の親戚のオジサン（※母の従兄弟）に引き取られる事で動き出す物語りなのですが、その親戚のオジサンの『彼女』の家に連れて行かれて………そこでキナさんに出会う、兄弟。はじめ呆気に取られますが、ばたばたと新しい生活が、始まります。この当初の展開の持って行き方が、凄く『………上手いなあ』と、感じました。物語りに、すっと、入れる。とにかく興味持たれた方は、一度読んでみてと勧めたくなる、お話です。絵が好きです。暗く、難しくなりがちなテーマだと思うのですが、嫌な気分になりません。『社会』にある『身近』に起こり得る問題に、気付かせて貰える漫画だと、私は思います。

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 4 volumes, and now I want to update my review. You better read it! It's a work I'd like to say. As a person, I feel that it is a work that depicts important things. It also increases the number of stars. Kina is such a wonderful person and she is great. Teach me the important things. But I'm not proud. There seems to be trauma in the past, and it hasn't been drawn in earnest yet, but it's a comic I'm looking forward to seeing what happens at the end. It's a story where siblings, who suddenly lost their parents in an accident, almost start moving when they are taken in by an old relative (*mother's cousin) who met for the first time, but they are taken to the home of that relative's old man's “girlfriend”... the siblings meet Kina there. At first, you'll be taken aback, but then a new life will begin. I felt that the way this initial development was taken was really “... good.” I can quickly put it into the story. Anyway, it's a story that makes me want to read it once and recommend it to anyone who is interested. I like the picture. I think it's a dark and difficult theme, but I don't feel bad about it. I think it's a comic that makes people notice issues that can occur “close to us” in “society.”

読んでほしい！

I want you to read it!

深刻なテーマを扱いながらも、明るく気持ちよく読めました。弟が保育所児という設定がとても生かされていて、主人公がかっこいい！と思う場面が多々ありました。兄についても、これから色々でるのかな？主人公カップルにも何か事情ありげだし、続きが楽しみです！

While dealing with serious themes, I was able to read it cheerfully and comfortably. The setting where my younger brother is a daycare center kid makes great use of it, and the main character is so cool! There were a lot of scenes where I thought that. I wonder if many things will come out about my older brother in the future too? Something has happened to the main character couple, and I'm looking forward to the continuation!

The main character is already big. It's hard to accept it that way, and I don't think it's possible to act. But the main character who can do that is amazing. The two kids are also really cute and nice. I'm worried about the continuation.

尊い。

precious.

普通にお母さんよりお母さんらしいことしてる、って思う。。。子育ての参考書か？すごく尊くて、何度読み返しても子育ての参考にしかならないのに真似できる気がしなくて放心状態になる事がある。うちの子、最高に可愛いと改めて思える(←親ばか)

I think they usually do things that are more like a mother than a mother... Is this a child-rearing reference book? It's so precious, and no matter how many times you reread it, it only serves as a reference for raising children, but there are times when you don't feel like you can imitate it, and you feel at ease. I think again that my child is the cutest (← parent idiot)

丁寧なストーリー

A polite story

This review contains spoilers. 絵がとても綺麗で、男の子や女の子はすごく可愛くて少年は大人びて見えて、大人はこういう人いる！と共感できるキャラ設定になってます。主人公のきなほちゃんが、突然子どもたちと生活することになっても冷静に現状把握して対応していたり、子どもたちの気がかりは何か？をしっかり考えていたり、物書きだからか口にする言葉が信念のようなものを感じさせるものばかりで、とても素敵な方だと思います。悪口はだめで愚痴はOKとか。物語もさくさく読めるのですが、きなほちゃんはどうして結婚しないのかとか、色々明かされていない部分もあるので続きが気になります。ストーリーや設定がしっかりしてるので、大人でもあまりストレスなく読めるかと思います。

This review contains spoilers. The pictures are so beautiful, the boys and girls are so cute, the boys look grown up, and there are adults like this! It's a character setting that I can sympathize with. The main character, Kinaho-chan, calmly grasps the current situation and responds even when she suddenly ends up living with the children, and what are the concerns of the children? I think he is a very wonderful person, and the words he utters, probably because he is a writer, make me feel like a belief. You can't speak ill of it and it's OK to complain. The story can also be read quickly, but there are also parts that haven't been revealed, such as why Kinaho-chan doesn't get married, so I'm worried about the continuation. The story and setting are solid, so I think even adults can read it without much stress.
