良いです

It's good

This review contains spoilers. ヒロインはヒーローのプライバシーを暴露してしまう罪悪感を常に持っていました。依頼した姉にはそんなものはないのかこれだからマスコミってやつは、と思いきや、姉は姉で罪悪感に苛まれていたのですね。

This review contains spoilers. The heroine always had a sense of guilt for exposing her hero's privacy. I wonder if the older sister who requested it doesn't have such a thing, so I thought it would be mass media, but my older sister was tormented by a sense of guilt.

初めて出逢った時から

From the first time we met

二人とも惹かれあっていたのに、姉のダイアナのせいでナオミは罪悪感に苛まれることになってしまいました。でも、ダイアナのお陰で再びブランと逢うことがてきて結果的に良かったのかな。ブランが落ち着いた優しいタイプでミーガンも良い人で、ラストはプロポーズで締めくくっていてストーリ―全体が温かい感じがして読みやすかったです。

Even though they were both attracted to each other, Naomi was tormented by a sense of guilt because of her older sister Diana. But thanks to Diana, I was able to meet Bran again, and I wonder if the results were good. Bran was a calm and gentle type, and Megan was also a nice person, and the end ended with a proposal, so the whole story felt warm and easy to read.

君のことなら僕はなんでも許すさ

If it's about you, I'll forgive anything

This review contains spoilers. 仕組んだ出会いによって、恋が成就する物語。オペラハウスでの出会いは、ヒロインナオミがヒーローブランの臨時秘書を請け負うための理由付けと捉えていたが、布石となっていて終盤に繋がっていた。ナオミの姉ダイアナの為にネタ拾いに出掛けて行くわけだけれど、「クロニクル紙」という新聞の立ち位置が分からず悩んだ。ゴシップ紙なのか、ナオミのやろうとしている事の成否にかかわるものであるから、簡単にスルー出来ない。結果的にはよくわからずしこりが残った。ブランの目が見えない事で女性の見た目ではなく声に重きを置いて内面に好感を持ち惹かれていくのにはリズムよく進み不安に暗い影は無く、治癒を信じている事を想像でき、診察にはその不安も織り交ぜられていて良い展開と思う。卑屈にならず、彼も正直者で好印象だ。ナオミも、彼との距離感を掴むのに苦労している様子や、罪悪感と好意を心中に共存させている事の葛藤が良く伝わって同情心が湧く。ナオミが抱える秘密だけに焦点を絞ってあるのが分かりやすくて良いが単純、仲良しお手伝いさん夫婦のこともＨＱあるあるで少し白ける。けれど、想像の外にあった再、再会の衝撃にそれを忘れた。表題をひっくり返す結末にＨＱだからねという言葉が浮かんだが、なんだそうだったのと、姉との画策（つまりこの物語全て）を要らないものにしたかのようで笑えた。

This review contains spoilers. A story where love is fulfilled through arranged encounters. The encounter at the opera house was seen as a reason for the heroine Naomi to undertake a temporary secretary for Hero Blanc, but it was a paving stone and led to the end. I went out to pick up material for Naomi's older sister Diana, but I was worried because I didn't know where the newspaper “Chronicle Paper” stood. It's probably a gossip paper, or something related to the success or failure of what Naomi is trying to do, so it's not easy to get through. As a result, I didn't really understand and a lump remained. By not being able to see Blanc's eyes, the emphasis is placed on a woman's voice rather than her appearance, and she has a good rhythm, and there are no dark shadows of anxiety, and I can imagine that she believes in healing, and I think it's a good development because that anxiety is also interwoven into the examination. He's not humble, and he's also honest, which makes a good impression. The way Naomi also struggles to grasp a sense of distance from him and the conflict of having guilt and favor coexist in her heart is well conveyed, and a sense of sympathy springs up. The fact that it focuses only on the secrets that Naomi holds is easy to understand, but it's simple, and the couple, who are good friends, also have HQ, so it's a bit bleak. However, I was shocked by a reunion that was beyond my imagination, and I forgot about it. The phrase “because it's HQ” came up at the end that turned the title upside down, but I laughed at how it was and as if I had made the plan with my sister (in other words, all of this story) unnecessary.

途中ドキドキ

Doki Doki Doki on the Way

最後まで楽しく読めました途中ヒロインの裏切りでどうなることかと思っていたけどすんなり過ぎて拍子抜けと共にホッとした(笑)ラストの終わり方もいいですね。HQて結婚式や出産してハピエンで締めくくるのも多いので…

I enjoyed reading it until the end. I was wondering what would happen due to the heroine's betrayal in the middle, but it went so smoothly and I felt relieved (laughs), and the way it ended at the end is also nice. HQ often ends with a happy wedding or birth, so...

隠れ家、アトリエ、陶磁器

hideout, atelier, ceramics

事故で一時的に目の見えなくなった彼の元へ、姉に頼まれて自伝のための秘書として向かったヒロイン。登場人物が少なく、しかも直接的には悪い輩とか出てこずに、内緒にしていることで葛藤するヒロインと、見えないままでも声だけではなく惹かれていく彼。見えるようになった彼がしたことは、、、

The heroine went to him, who was temporarily blind due to an accident, and was asked by her older sister as a secretary for her autobiography. There are few characters, and no bad people directly come out, and the heroine conflicts over keeping it a secret, and he is attracted not only by his voice, but also by his voice even when he remains invisible. What he did when he was able to see...

もう一度

one more time

使い古された材料でエピソードもありがち、展開が想像を越えないけれど、ヒロインの心情がよく表されていて短い間の特殊な状況と、まずいまずいと思いつつひかれている心を抱える葛藤描写が良かった。恋愛感情面、腰の引けてるヒロインと積極的に口説いて来る彼との間をもう少し、苦しく切なく危うく吸い込まれ落ちそうで辛うじて踏み留まるヒロインのギリギリとか、又はやっぱり楽しく嬉しく弾むひとときの恋の喜びとか見たかった気はする。だが、潜入なんて、信頼を台無しにする裏切り行為、罪悪感一杯で、そんなさなかにときめいてはイカン、というのもあると理解出来る。恋愛モードに安易に入る訳には行かないヒロインの難攻不落ぶりを、悲劇にも、いっそ喜劇にも仕立てられず、中途半端に置いたのは、立場を理解してもそれでも、読み手の萌えどころは不足した。休日のドライブ、ここはもっと甘い空気でも、踏みこたえてきたそれまでの彼女の立ち位置を、読み手の私は汲んでやれるので、構わなかったんじゃぁ？という気分。または、そこも平静さを努めるヒロインの、彼の熱意に抗いきれなくなっての、箍を外す陥落っぷりを魅せてくれても・・・。でないと、ヒロインの内心は別として、外形的にセクハラにほんの少し近くなってしまう。彼の攻め寄せの男らしさが、読み手としては宗真先生の絵故に発散するセクシーさとして、眼で味わいたかった、というか。好感を抱き合う二人の空気感の深まりを。周囲の人物達の、二人の関係に対しては好都合となる複数エピソードの持ち込まれ方が少し、あざとい作り。予測(読者サイドの期待)容易なのはもったいない。尤も、昨今、ドラマとして巧い終わらせ方を、不満に感じる読者への迎合圧力、言葉を選べば「サービス精神」で、想像に委ねさせずだらだら描写、という過剰な提供が増えて、読み手がその先を思い巡らし、でも作家がそこを飛び越えてくる、という経験が少なくなってしまったが。お姉さんの変化は、直前に読んだHQと2作偶然続いたが、本作の方が激変でないせいもあり、話の流れに不自然さがない。激変の方はドラマ性強まる分、読み手が振り回される。その振り幅を読み応えとして感じる人もいるかもしれないが、私は、埋め合わせの度合いのバランスが取れる本作のほうが、唐突感がなくて良い。誤字誤植はHQから無くして欲しいものだ。

There are often episodes with worn-out materials, and although the development is beyond imagination, the heroine's feelings were well expressed, and the depiction of the special situation for a short period of time and the conflict where she was drawn while thinking that was bad and bad was good. On the emotional side of love, I feel like I wanted to see a little more between the heroine who is holding back and the guy who is actively wooing me, like the last minute of the heroine who seems to be painfully sad and dangerously sucked in and barely stepped on, or the joy of a moment of love that is fun and happy after all. However, it can be understood that sneaking in is an act of betrayal that ruins trust, full of guilt, and that it is dangerous to have a crush in the midst of that. The reason why the heroine's impenetrability, who doesn't easily go into romance mode, couldn't be made into a tragedy or even a comedy, and placed half-heartedly, even though they understood the position, there was a lack of inspiration for readers. Even though the air is sweeter here on my holiday drive, I, the reader, can pick up her standing position until then when she stepped on, so it didn't matter, right? I feel like that. Or, even if that also fascinates the heroine, who strives for calm, is unable to resist his enthusiasm and falls off the hoop... Otherwise, apart from the heroine's inner feelings, it will outwardly be just a little close to sexual harassment. As a reader, I wanted to experience his aggressive masculinity with my own eyes, as a reader, as the sexiness that emanates from Muneshin-sensei's paintings. The deepening of the atmosphere between the two people who have a good crush on each other. The way the people around them bring in multiple episodes, which is convenient for the relationship between the two, is slightly careless. It's a waste that predictions (readers' expectations) are easy. What's more, recently, there has been an increase in excessive provision of how to end a drama with complacency pressure on readers who feel dissatisfied, and excessive provision of “service spirit” when choosing words, leaving it up to imagination, and there are fewer experiences where the reader thinks ahead, but the writer jumps over there. The older sister's change happened to continue with HQ and the 2 works I read just before, but partly because this one wasn't a drastic change, so there's no unnaturalness in the flow of the story. The cataclysmic side gets swayed by the readers as the drama intensifies. There may be people who feel that amplitude as being easy to read, but for me, this work, which balances the degree of compensation, is better without feeling abrupt. I want the typographical errors to go away from HQ.

悪くは無いが

It's not bad

This review contains spoilers. ヒロインもヒーローも真面目で誠実で、腹が立ったりはなくハーレとしては好きなタイプでした。絵柄もこの作者さんの丁寧で美しい部分も際立ってましたし。ただ1つ言うなら、恋愛という部分でのときめきが薄かったかなーと。綺麗なんだけど硬質な感じがある絵柄にも見えてしまうというか。。(一時的だけど)盲目のヒーローという題材は良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. Both the heroine and hero were serious and honest, and they were the type Harle liked without getting angry. Both the design and the careful and beautiful parts of this artist stood out. If I had to say just one thing, I wonder if the crush in the love part was weak. Even though it's beautiful, it looks like a pattern that has a hard feel... I liked the subject of Blind Hero (albeit temporarily).

好きな作家さんです

It's my favorite writer

ヒーロー、ヒロインともに、色気のある、美男美女カップルというだけでも良し！ですが、知的にも優れているところも良かったです?

It's fine if both the hero and heroine are just a beautiful couple with sex appeal! But was it also good that they are intellectually superior?
