Such a sweet story <3

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started this story, but I absolutely loved it, and by the end, I was wishing there had been more (despite really enjoying the ending). It's both sweet and engaging, and I wound up greedily clicking to the next chapter each time I got to the end.

Nice story, could have been developed more

Nice story, although the characters' psychology could be delved into a little more. They change too quickly, as if it was no big deal... More chapters would have been nice and would have made the story more realistic. But don't let this stop you from reading, it's a cute story, and the characters are endearing.
However, I was a little taken aback by the 2 other stories that appeared for no apparent reason, interrupting the story. I almost stopped reading as I wasn't sure the story would resume afterwards. Luckily, it did, and I'm happy I kept reading, it's a nice story.

Kinda Boring

Don't know why this is an 18+ story. Somehow nothing really gets to the point and the story itself is quite long and boring .... too bad.

?お薦めです。

? I recommend it.

This review contains spoilers. お話の内容が読み進めるほどに思っているよりずっとずっと深いのに気付いた時にはどっぷりとはまってしまってる自分がいました。企業するときのおカネの出どころやセーターの下り水難救助にとっても詳しいところなど取り上げれば後半は怒涛の展開に思えました。最後に2号店のママ・・・・はサプライズでした。昔の恋人をそっと助けるところなど落ち切っていないまだやり直せる希望が感じ取れて出会えてよかった作品です。

This review contains spoilers. I was completely addicted to it when I realized that the content of the story was much, much deeper than I had thought as I read on. The second half seemed to be a turbulent development when taking up details such as where the money came from when doing business and when it came from when it came from when it was a sweater downhill water disaster rescue. Finally, mom from the 2nd store... had a surprise. It's a work I'm glad I was able to meet her because I was able to feel the hope of not being disappointed, such as gently helping my old lover, and I'm glad I was able to start over.

想像以上に…

More than I could have imagined...

過去に囚われ過ぎて大切な今を失わないよう前を向いて、相手と向き合う大切さに気づいてく稔の心理描写も良いし、城山の強引だけど稔を溺愛してちゃんと気持ち優先にする紳士なところのギャップも良いです。絵もキレイで読み応えもあり読後感も良いです。

The psychological depiction of Minoru, who looks forward so as not to lose his precious present because he is too caught up in the past and realizes the importance of facing his partner, is also good, and the gap between Shiroyama's aggressive but gentleman who dotes on Minoru and properly prioritizes his feelings is also good. The pictures are beautiful and easy to read, and the feeling after reading is good.

とってもいい！

Very nice!

なかなか深い話でした。城山さんはなかなかのことをやってましたが、それを理由に幸せになることを諦めないでよかったです。

It was a pretty deep story. Shiroyama-san was doing quite a bit, and I'm glad she didn't give up on being happy because of that.

This review contains spoilers. 香りがする展開にハラハラしました全部が明るみに出ることなく、ハッピーエンドに持っていくっていう展開もアリかな。

This review contains spoilers. I was shocked by the scented development, and the development where everything didn't come to light and brought it to a happy ending was also a good idea.

よく読まないと

I need to read it carefully

難しい、人の機微の話をしてるから。でも小説のように無駄がない言葉たちなのでぜひこの世界を味わって欲しい！原作の鷺沼さんてほんとすごい！2巻の108pの城山さんの言葉は、みんなに響くと思います！必読〜！！！

That's because I'm talking about difficult subtleties of people. But like in a novel, these words are useless, so I definitely want you to enjoy this world! The original Saginuma-san is really amazing! I think Shiroyama's words in volume 2, volume 108 will resonate with everyone! A must read~!!

ただのBLかと思いきや、作品として物凄い引き込まれた！人物も魅力的だけど、ストーリーがとにかくいい！大好きな作品です！

I thought it was just a BL, but I was really drawn in as a work! The characters are fascinating, but the story is just great! I love this work!

一巻のみ

One volume only

一巻のみ読みました。城山さんのおせおせな口説きは昔からなのですね（笑）城山さんの過去が気になるのは稔だけじゃない！本編が気になりすぎて、後半の短編作品が全然入ってきませんでした（笑）

I've only read one volume. Shiroyama-san has been wooing for a long time (laughs) Minoru isn't the only one worried about Shiroyama-san's past! I was so worried about the main story that the second half of the short film didn't come in at all (laughs)

よかった〜！

That was great!

予想と違って、すごくいいお話でした！悪の世界がすぐそこにあって、ハラハラしながらでしたが、小さい弟や妹の存在も重要で、より二人の関係を深くしてくれたように思います。大雨で地下冠水のエピソード泣けました。

Contrary to my expectations, it was a really good story! The world of evil was right around the corner, and it was frustrating, but the presence of a smaller younger brother and sister was also important, and I think it deepened the relationship between the two. The episode of underground flooding made me cry due to heavy rain.

忌憚なくよくまとまったストーリー

A candid and well-organized story

絵がとてもきれいで見やすく、よくあるタイプの絵柄ながら背景がきちっと描かれていることなど、実力派なのがよくわかります。ストーリーも、城山が過去を稔に明かさなかったこと、過去を過去として葬り去るのではなく、万が一稔たちに何かあったら「俺はまたやるな…」と考えているところがとても好きでした。ただ、第7話や番外編の「1800日後」で突然韓国や北の話が出て来るのは唐突過ぎ。作者あるいは原作者の趣味なのでしょうが、朴さんや「ニューカマー」「族譜」「民団・総連」なんて一般読者にはわからないことを出すのはどうかな？と感じました。実際にはかなり複雑で重い問題ですよね。密入国した在日中国人たちにしたほうが、まだすんなり読めました。

The pictures are very beautiful and easy to read, and the background is clearly drawn even though it is a common type of pattern, so you can clearly see that they are talented people. As for the story, I really liked the fact that Shiroyama didn't reveal his past to Minoru, and instead of burying the past away as the past, he thought “I'll do it again...” should something happen to Minoru and the others. However, it was too abrupt that stories about Korea and North Korea suddenly came up in episode 7 and the extra edition “1800 Days Later.” It's probably the author or original author's hobby, but how about putting out things that general readers don't understand, such as Park, “Newcomer,” “Genealogy,” and “People's Group/General Union”? I felt it. It's actually a pretty complicated and heavy problem, isn't it? I was still able to read it more easily with the Chinese people living in Japan who smuggled into the country.

絵もストーリーも良かったです。

The pictures and story were great.

This review contains spoilers. お互いにに辛く悲しい過去を持ち惹かれ合う城山と稔。城山の過去に囚われ城山と進展出来ずにいる稔、稔を自分のヤバい過去で心を汚したくない、巻き込みたくないからヤバい過去は墓場まで持っていく覚悟をしていた城山。家族を失った事は同じだけど、原因や心情も違うし、知る事で相手の心を傷つけて失ってしまうかもしれない恐怖、今も夢を見てしまう程、完全に傷が癒えた訳ではないけど稔や稔の弟妹達の存在が少しずつ城山の闇を照らしていってくれるんだと思いました。稔も自身の幸せに向き合い弟妹達も幸せだと思える家族愛に満ちたいい関係がこれから続いていくんだろうと思います。ノンケだからゲイだから惹かれるんじゃなくて人として本能的に惹かれ合う人は惹かれ合うんだと思います。やまかみ先生の作品は絵も綺麗でストーリーに深みがあり、読んでで感情移入してしまう程面白いです。

This review contains spoilers. Shiroyama and Minoru are attracted to each other because of their painful and sad past. Shiroyama was prepared to take Minoru, who is trapped in Shiroyama's past and unable to advance with Shiroyama, and Minoru with her dangerous past to the grave because she didn't want to stain her heart or get involved. Losing a family member is the same, but the causes and feelings are also different, and the fear that they might hurt their partner's heart by getting to know them, and even now they have dreams, but I thought that the presence of Minoru and Minoru's siblings would gradually illuminate the darkness of Shiroyama. I think the good relationship full of family love where Minoru faces her own happiness and her siblings are happy will continue from now on. I think people are instinctively attracted to each other as people, not because they are gay because they are nonsense. Yamakami sensei's works have beautiful pictures and deep stories, and they are so interesting that I empathize with them when I read them.

それでも、愛してる。

Still, I love you.

ゲイバーで働くミナミ（稔）の店にふらっと訪れた客：城山・・・最初はイヤな感じのヤツだったのに・・・と、割と出だしは軽いノリの雰囲気だったのに、話が進んでゆき、お互いの事情が明かされていくごとに、どんどんシリアスで暗めの（そして黒めの(^^;）雰囲気になってゆきます。稔は貧しいながらも真面目で清廉潔白に生きてきた。対して城山には、見た目や雰囲気に反して誰にも言えない後ろ暗い過去があって・・・と城山の過去エピはかなり凄惨な感じなんですが・・あっでもグロかったりはありません(^^;でも、そんな過去があるからこそ、稔と城山の愛がより真剣で深いものになるのかなと思えます。あんまりネタバレすると無粋な感じもするので、あとは本編をどうぞ♪綿密な設定によって、よりドラマチックに仕上がっていますよ(^^

A customer who casually visited the Minami (Minoru) store that works at a gay bar: Shiroyama... at first, the atmosphere was relatively light, but the story progressed, and as each other's circumstances were revealed, the atmosphere became more and more serious and dark (and dark (^^;). Despite being poor, Minoru has lived a serious, clean and innocent life. On the other hand, against its appearance and atmosphere, Shiroyama has a dark past that no one can tell... and Shiroyama's past episodes are pretty horrible... but it's not gross (^^; but it seems that it is precisely because they have such a past that the love between Minoru and Shiroyama becomes more serious and deep. If there are too many spoilers, it also feels silly, so go ahead and enjoy the main story ♪ The detailed settings make it even more dramatic (^^

良かった！

That was great!

This review contains spoilers. よくある過去に何かあった的な話の流れでは、過去の話を最後は打ち明けて、それを受け入れて～がパターンだけど、それをしないのはある意味このお話に深さを与えていると思うし、覚悟も感じる！☆４にしたのは、もっと二人のイチャイチャが見たかったな～という思いから！読んで良かったなと思える作品でした！！

This review contains spoilers. In a common flow of stories where something happened in the past, the pattern is to confide in the past story at the end and accept it... but I think not doing that gives depth to this story in a sense, and I also feel prepared! I changed it to ☆ 4 because I wanted to see them flirt even more! It was a work that I thought was good to read!!

They are two people who are the same only in that they lost their parents. The main character only cared about his aggressive past, but they realized that what was important was the present, and the two get close. I wonder if volume 2 was too easy
