暖かいお話

A warm story

This review contains spoilers. 始まりは自分ちでも無いのに他人の子を連れてくるなんて最悪と思ったけど主人公の冷静な対応になんだか安心しました。無理に子供と仲良くなろうとか必要以上可哀相な目で見ることもないのに、暖かい人って事がちゃんと伝わってきました。もう皆に幸せになってもらいたい！

This review contains spoilers. I thought it would be terrible to bring someone else's child even though it wasn't my own at the beginning, but I was somewhat relieved by the protagonist's calm response. The fact that they are warm people has come through properly even though they don't force them to become good friends with children or look at them with more pitiful eyes than necessary. I want everyone to be happy already!

アカンやろ

Akan isn't it

This review contains spoilers. すごく好きなお話で評価も高いのですが、可哀想だからって結婚もしていない恋人の家に、いきなり同意もなく親戚の子供二人ひきとって連れ込んでなし崩しに一緒に住むってどうなの！？ご両親を亡くしたばかりの子供を目の前に出て行けなんて言えないよね？じっくり読みたい話で大好きなんだけど・・・この男は踏み潰してやりたい。ほんまアカンやろ。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story I really like, and it's highly rated, but how about suddenly taking two of my relatives' children without their consent and bringing them in without their consent and living together without breaking up!? You can't tell them to walk out in front of a child who just lost their parents, right? It's a story I want to read carefully, and I love it... but... I want to crush this man. it's really bad, isn't it?

子育てとは。

What is child-rearing.

主人公・希夏帆と同じ立場になったとして、同じように子供たちを導けるだろうか…希夏帆の人間性がすごい。希夏帆に導かれた子供たちがどう成長していくかもですが、子供たちと関わることによって希夏帆もどう変化してくのかも楽しみです。

If they were in the same position as the main character, Kikaho, would they be able to lead the children in the same way... Kisaho's humanity is amazing. I wonder how the children led by Ki Natsuho will grow up, and I'm also excited to see how Ki Natsuho will change as she gets involved with the children.

人の温かさとか、強さに触れる

Touch the warmth and strength of people

設定は、かなりドラマティックだと思うけれど、読み手を感情のジェットコースターに乗せないところがよいです。キナコさんの寛容さ、強さ、賢明さって、凄い。ブレない感じ。狡さがない。子供と暮らすって時間もお金もエネルギーも想像以上なのに、タフだし、優しさに溢れてる。そんなドラマティックな設定の中、粛々と送られる日常に押し付けじゃない思いやりとか優しさがあります。世の中そんなに悪くないねって、どこかほっとさせてくれます。それから、本編とは関係ないけど、改めて交通事故には、気をつけたい。被害側、加害側に関わらず、当事者だけでなく、家族、周囲の人まで長期的に痛みを抱えて、その世界を変えてしまう。わかっていたけど、この物語の中で、文明の力で便利だけど、人を傷つけることもあることを再認識しました。

I think the setting is pretty dramatic, but it's nice that it doesn't put the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. Kinako's forgiveness, strength, and wisdom are amazing. It feels like there's no blurring. There is no cunning. Living with kids is tough and full of kindness, even though the time, money, and energy are beyond imagination. Amidst such a dramatic setting, there is compassion and kindness that is not imposed on everyday life that is quietly sent. It makes me feel somewhat relieved that the world isn't that bad. Also, although it has nothing to do with the main story, I want to be careful about traffic accidents once again. Regardless of whether it is the victim side or the perpetrator, not only those involved, but also their families and people around them have pain over the long term, changing that world. I knew it, but in this story, I realized once again that the power of civilization is useful, but it can also hurt people.

高評価に納得

Convinced by the high evaluation

なぜこの漫画がこんなにも良い評価をされているのだろう？と疑問に思う駄作もあるが、この作品は素敵。当たり前は当たり前ではないよねと考える。これが現実で、救われる子供たちや人々がいればいいのにと願う。

Why is this comic getting such good reviews? There are also bad works that make me wonder, but this work is wonderful. I don't think it's obvious that it's obvious. I hope this is a reality and that there are children and people who can be saved.

一言で言い表せない家族のかたち。

A family shape that cannot be expressed in a few words.

This review contains spoilers. 読み始める前にレビューの低評価を読んでしまって==男性が、結婚もしていない彼女の持ち家に、可哀想だからと従姉妹の子どもをいきなり引き取ってきて、承諾も無しに、なし崩し的に一緒に住み始めてしまう==という批判が目について・・・確かに、と思いながら読み進めてみました。5巻読了。お話は何気ない日常の出来事で、すごく大きな事件や出来事が起きるわけではありませんが、物書きをしている主人公の仕事と、毎日の食事、洗濯、そして両親を一度に亡くしてしまった兄弟の気持ちのケアなど、何気ないけれど大事な日常の営みを、すごく頑張る訳でも投げやりになるでも無く、大事に生きている人たちの物語でした。主人公「希夏帆（キナホ）さん」の人間性が、話す言葉が、思いが、良識があり冷静で率直で、とても好感が持てます。作品中に、「子育ては毎日ご飯を作るみたいな積み重ね」というセリフが出てきますが、子供が居たことのないキナホさんと、子供を産んで初めて育てるお母さんとで、何か変わるところはないのかもしれません。皆んな戸惑いながら手探りで子育てして、段々親になっていくのかもしれません。あと半年で子育て卒業の私でも、まだまだ、戸惑いも心配も、かける言葉も、難しいなぁと感じています。

This review contains spoilers. Before I started reading, I read the low ratings of the reviews, and I read on while thinking that the criticism that == a man suddenly takes in his cousin's child because they are poor, and they start living together without consent... certainly caught my eye. I've read volume 5. The story is about casual everyday events, and no major incidents or events will occur, but it was a story of people who live their lives with care for their casual yet important everyday activities, such as the main character's job as a writer, daily meals, laundry, and caring for the feelings of siblings who have lost their parents all at once, without trying very hard or throwing them away. The human nature of the main character “Kinaho (Kinaho)” is very likable, and the words he speaks are thoughtful, sensible, calm, and straightforward. The line “Raising children is like cooking meals every day,” appears in the work, but there may be no change between Kinaho, who has never had children, and the mother who raised a child for the first time. Maybe everyone is confused and fumbling to raise their children, and gradually they become parents. Even though I graduated from raising children in six months, I still feel confused, worried, and difficult to put into words.

心地の良い漫画

Comfortable comics

This review contains spoilers. キナちゃんは素晴らしいね。このうちに来ることになって冬真くんとハルくんは幸せだと思う。事故の不幸はあるけれど。ハルくんが可愛すぎて愛おしい!いいお兄ちゃんの冬真くんもすごく愛おしい。。いろいろと考えて一生懸命に生きている。リアルに共感できるところいっぱい。

This review contains spoilers. Kina-chan is amazing. I think Fuyuma-kun and Haru-kun will be happy to be here soon. There are misfortunes of accidents, though. Haru-kun is so cute and adorable! My good older brother Fuyuma-kun is also very adorable.. I live my life thinking a lot. There are so many things I can really empathize with.

多くの人に読んで欲しい作品です！！

This is a work I want many people to read!!

すごく良い作品です！！多くの人にもっと読んで欲しい。涙無しには読めない作品。登場人物が皆、思慮深く、相手をそれぞれ思い合っていて。どんか結末になるのか、すごく気になる！！１年間に1冊のペースの発売が辛過ぎる。来年の6月まで待てない。。。

It's a really good work!! I want more people to read more. It's a work you can't read without tears. All of the characters are thoughtful and have their own feelings for their opponents. I'm really curious to see what the ending will be!! Selling at the pace of one book a year is too difficult. I can't wait until next June...

ほのぼの

Heartwarming

しっかりしていて優しい希夏帆が最高です。ちょっと天然？の愁人にも、親を亡くした冬真と春陽にも、必要な人だと思います。

主人公の考え方がとってもステキ！

The main character's way of thinking is so wonderful!

途中までしかまだ読んでいませんが、家族の在り方や人間関係を改めて考えされたりハッとするお話しです。血のつながらない子供たちと一緒に暮らすことになる主人公キナちゃんの価値観というか、人としてのあり方、子供達への言葉がけが本当に素敵です。漫画の中の人ですが、人として尊敬してしまいます。

I've only read it halfway through, but it's a surprising story that makes me think again about the way families are and relationships. The values of the main character, Kina-chan, who lives with unrelated children, her way of being a person, and her words to children are really wonderful. They are people in comics, but I respect them as people.

とてもいい…

very nice...

主人公の決して完璧ではない中でのバランス感覚の良さがとても心地よい作品です人にはそれぞれ事情があり、出来ないことをぶった斬るわけではなく、どんな時でも大事な核の部分だけは決して忘れるなと学ばせてもらっている感覚に陥りますどのキャラクターもとても愛おしい…お試しで読んだ後、クーポン出るまで待とうとか考えることなく一気に最新巻まで購入誰にでもおすすめしたい作品です

It's a very comfortable work where the main character has a good sense of balance in the midst of being imperfect. Everyone has their own circumstances, and it doesn't mean they're being taught to never forget only the core parts that are important at any time. Every character is so adorable... after reading it for a trial, I bought the latest volume all at once without thinking about waiting until the coupon came out. I would recommend it to anyone

それぞれの現実

Each reality

自分には「普通」な事が他の人には「普通じゃない」事は結構ある。それを認めたり、共有するのは簡単じゃない。この作品にも、そんな「現実」を抱えた人達がたくさんいるけど、様々な考え方を認めて共有しつつ、強制せず、自分の生き方も考え方も柔軟に調整して進んで行く、希夏帆さんがカッコイイ。好きな作品です。

There are quite a few things that are “normal” for me and things that are “not normal” for others. It's not easy to acknowledge or share it. There are many people with such “reality” in this work, but while acknowledging and sharing various ways of thinking, Ki Natsuho, who flexibly adjusts her way of life and way of thinking without forcing her, is cool. It's my favorite work.

すごくいい！

Very nice!

連れ子ならまだしも、イトコの子だと遠すぎて、他人としか思えない中で、責任を持てるかと聞かれたらそんな覚悟も到底持てそうにないことを、当たり前にできるところからして既に人格者。まぁ最後の砦なのが伝わって来てしまうと断りようもないとは思うが、それでも引き受けたからには、きちんと言葉や態度で意思を伝えてあげてるし、一つ一つの行動に思いやりが見られて素敵です。初っ端から結構常識人で驚いたのと、その落ち着き加減が変に気が立たなくていいのかもしれないと思った。アニメ化してほしいな。

Even if they are stepchildren, they are too far away, and when asked if they can only be taken for granted if they are asked if they can take responsibility, they are already personalities from a place where they can take it for granted. Well, once the last bastion is conveyed, I don't think it's possible to refuse it, but even so, now that I've accepted it, I've properly conveyed my intentions with words and attitudes, and it's wonderful to be able to see compassion in every action. From the beginning, I was surprised that he was quite a common sensible person, and I thought that maybe I didn't need to be strangely nervous about that calm. I want it to be animated.

現実的で泣ける

It's realistic and makes me cry

子供を引き取るって、相当な覚悟が必要な大事ですよね。それも、他人の交通遺児２人。主人公は目先の損得より、人としての道理を優先できる女性。きれい事ではない日常に涙が出ました。

Taking in a child is an important thing that requires a great deal of preparation, isn't it? They are also two traffic orphans from other people. The main character is a woman who can prioritize reason as a person over immediate gains and losses. I burst into tears from everyday life, which is not a pretty thing.

This review contains spoilers. Even though I have a blood connection with my partner, I think it's very difficult to raise a red stranger who is not related by blood to myself (Kina-chan). It depicts each person's conflict.
