BL yet not exactly BL...

Really good series of short stories. Varied and fun. I really enjoyed them. Call the writer guy 'Chaz'? He's such a loser! 😂 Love it!

男❣

Man ❣

This review contains spoilers. 全然BL　してないけどめっちゃ良かった　不思議な始まり方だったけど案外　実際の関係なんてみんな　こんな感じなんだろうなと思いました

This review contains spoilers. I didn't BL at all, but it was a really good strange way to start, but surprisingly, I was wondering if all the actual relationships were like this

毛虫くん！！！？

Caterpillar!!!?

This review contains spoilers. どのストーリーもBLなんだけどBLなんだけどなんだか不思議なお話でした毛虫くんは酸っぱい匂いするのかぁ、私は臭いだけは愛で超えられない人間なので、二人がザビエルとバーコードになっても仲睦まじい事を願わずにはいられません。

This review contains spoilers. Every story is BL, but it's BL, but it's kind of a strange story. Caterpillar smells sour, I'm a person whose only smell can't be surpassed by love, so even if the two of them get barcodes with Xavier, I can't help but hope for serious reconciliation.

そうくるかぁ

I wonder if that's going to happen

なかなか予想外な感じでした。表題含め5作品の短編集でしたが、どれもなかなかそう終わるのかぁって感じです。

It was quite unexpected. It was a short compilation of 5 works, including the title, and I wonder if all of them will end quite like that.

BL要素は少ないけど面白い

There are few BL elements but it's interesting

短編５作品＋描き下ろしです。どの作品もBL要素は少しだけ。でも人間ドラマが面白い。私は「波の音がきこえる」が好き。ウィットに富んだショートショートを読んでいるような感じです。星4.5

5 short films plus illustrations. There are only a few BL elements in every work. But human dramas are interesting. I like “I Can Hear the Sound of the Waves.” I feel like I'm reading a witty short short. 4.5 stars

ジャンルを超えて

Beyond genres

This review contains spoilers. この作者さんはBLという枠で留められないな、というのがこちらの作品を見て改めて感じました。しかもデビューなの？マイリトル〜もなんですが、世界観があって、人物がいて、そこにBL要素がある、そういう作風なんだろうな。短編集ですが、どれも違う色をしてます。個人的には作家の話が好きです。作者さんの漫画は台詞まわしから全て計算されたような洋画を観てる気分になります。絵はこの頃からもう出来上がってる感あります。私はもう少し恋愛色強めがすきですが、作者さんの作風はハマる人にはハマると思います。

This review contains spoilers. When I saw this work, I felt once again that this artist cannot be limited to the BL framework. What's more, is it a debut? My Little is also a style that has a worldview, people, and BL elements there, and I wonder if it's that kind of style. These are short edits, but they all have different colors. Personally, I like the writer's story. I feel like I'm watching a Western-style movie where all of the author's comics have been calculated from the rotation of dialogue. There is a feeling that the picture has already been completed around this time. I like a slightly stronger romance, but I think people who are addicted to the author's style will fall in love with it.

どれも面白かった！

They were all interesting!

突拍子もない設定から始まりグイグイと引きこまれました。展開も全く読めない。短編集だけどストーリーやキャラが濃いので読み応えありました。魔女の再登場シーンは吹きました。「波の音が聞こえる」は作家と編集者の関係性が愛おしい…これだけは結末が見えつつも、不毛な関係エンドしか見えず、その後を想像せずにはいられません。

It started with an absurd setting, and I was drawn in. I can't read the development at all. It's a short story, but the story and characters are strong, so it was worth reading. The witch's reappearance scene blew up. “I Can Hear the Sound of Waves” has an adorable relationship between the writer and the editor... even though I can see the ending, I can only see the futile end of the relationship, and I can't help but imagine what happened.

美少年毛虫くん可愛すぎるww(^_^)

Pretty Boy Caterpillar is too cute lol (^_^)

短編の『毛虫』が面白すぎて（可愛すぎてw）最高だったw(^_^)（あとがきに『タイトルがひどい』って書かれてたwww）毛だらけ美少年毛虫くんが、とにかく可愛らしかった(^_^)カフカの『変身』のような物語かと思いきや、全然違って、素晴らしく可愛らしい恋物語でした(^_^)その他の短編もとても秀逸でおもしろかった！表紙だけみて内容暗めなのかな…と思ってたけど違った。物語を表現する力が強めな、なかなか印象深い短編集でした(^_^)

The short story “Caterpillar” was so funny (too cute w) it was awesome lol (^_^) (“The title is terrible” was written in the afterword lol) I thought it was just a story like Kafka's “Transformation” (^_^), but it was a completely different, wonderfully cute love story (^_^) The other short stories were also very excellent and interesting! Looking only at the cover, I was wondering if the content was dark... but that was different. It was a pretty impressive short story with a strong ability to express stories (^_^)

異色の短編集！

A unique short story!

This review contains spoilers. 作家買いです！ねむいさんのデビュー作品！（やっぱり頭ひとつ抜けていますね）表題作”兄の忠告“は一冊出来てしまうのではないかと思うほど面白かったです。悪さばかりする弟と陰からそんな弟をずっと見守ってきた兄。消えてしまった兄との突然の再会…この関係性が”愛情“であり”特別“であり”執着“のようでBLを超えて魅力的な作品。その他も毛色の違う個性豊かな作品で読み応えがあります！可愛い恋人が毛だらけに見える高校生とか現代の桃太郎とか…好きです、全部好きです！笑いの中にほんの少しの人間臭さが余韻として残る、この余韻がたまらないんです…ねむいさんの作品が好きです。

This review contains spoilers. I'm buying an artist! Nemui's debut work! (After all, one head is missing) The title work “My Brother's Advice” was so interesting that I thought one book would come out. A younger brother who only does bad things and an older brother who has always watched over such a younger brother from behind. A sudden reunion with my older brother who has disappeared... this relationship seems to be “love,” “special,” and “obsession,” and it is an attractive work that goes beyond BL. Other unique works with different coat colors are well worth reading! A high school student whose cute lover looks full of hair or a modern day Momotaro... I like them all! A slight human smell remains in laughter, and this afterglow is irresistible... I like Nemui's works.

ちょっとセンスが良すぎますね…

Your sense is a bit too good...

好きな作者さんですがデビュー作読み忘れてました。最高でした。BLとは？なんて聞かれたらそりゃあ最初はボーイズがラブラブしてるもんだと思ってましたよ。でもこの広大な海を泳げば泳ぐほど先が見えないというか…溺れかけてます‥っていうか(^_^;)もうねぇ男どもが好きにジタバタしてくれてりゃあそれで良いんだぃ！ってのが今の心境なんで、この作品もイイ男だらけで文句ナシです。それにLOVEが恋愛だけのものなんて思ってるほど頭がお花畑な人間でもないので、ホモソーシャルもブラザーフッドでもなんでも美味しいです。設定のくだらなさと物語の柱はちゃんと真面目なのがバランス良すぎて、結構ウルウルしながら読みました。どの話も男たちの関係性をもっと読みたくなるし、兄弟の話はそれだけで1冊出来ちゃうだろ！とは思うので残念。しかし描き下ろしはサービスたっぷり(ブログの方も読みましたが必読です)！！！

I like the author, but I forgot to read his debut work. It was awesome. What is BL? If you ask me anything, well, at first I thought boys were in love. But if you swim in this vast ocean, the more you swim, the more you can't see ahead... I mean, I'm drowning... (^_^;) if guys just jitter like it anymore, then that's fine! That's my current state of mind, and this work is also full of nice guys, so I have no complaints. Also, I'm not such a smart person who thinks LOVE is just love, so everything is delicious, Homosocial, Brotherhood, etc. The balance between the clumsiness of the setting and the seriousness of the story was so well balanced that I read it while laughing quite a bit. Every story makes me want to read more about relationships between men, and that alone would make one book about siblings! I think so that's a shame. However, there are plenty of services for drawing (I also read the blog, but it's a must-read)!!

魅力的な登場人物

Fascinating characters

This review contains spoilers. 作者さまの作品に出てくる男性陣がセクシーで大好きです。しかもその色気に怪しい・やばい・ちょっとぽんこつが加味されてとても魅力的。表題のお兄さん最高です。弟がぎゃんぎゃん甘たれてくってかかる関係性も良き。小説家のお話もぐだぐだしてるようでちょっとやるせない。色んなストーリーを楽しめる短編集で良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. I love the men who appear in the author's work because they are sexy. What's more, it has suspicious, awful, and slightly ponkotsu added to that sex appeal, making it very attractive. The older brother in the title is awesome. The relationship it takes when my younger brother is being sweetened is also good. The novelist's story also seems to be out of place, so it's a bit difficult to get carried away. I'm glad it's a short story where you can enjoy a variety of stories.

初コミックス

First comic

This review contains spoilers. 198p、表題作含む5作品の短編+表題作の描き下ろし2点+あとがき。作者様初コミックス。どの短編も面白い。表題作は長い間、会っていなかった兄と弟の話、BLなのか？な感覚もあるが初めて読んだ時から再読してもやはり面白い。他の作品も勘違いから始まる関係、何だか魔法(呪い？)にかけられちゃってたり、桃太郎パロディに小説家の話。どの短編も独特な世界観を楽しめる。

This review contains spoilers. 198p, short film with 5 works including the title work+2 drawing of the title work+afterword. This is the author's first comic. Every short story is interesting. Is the title story about an older brother and younger brother who haven't met in a long time, BL? There's also a feeling, but it's still interesting even if you reread it from the time you first read it. Other works also have relationships that begin with misunderstandings, some kind of magic (curse?) It's a story about being played by Momotaro parody and novelist. You can enjoy a unique view of the world in every short film.

短編集

short story

This review contains spoilers. 作者がBLと思ってりゃBLなんだよの精神でBLを読んでいるのですが、この作品に至っては作家さん自体がBLとは…？と模索しながら描いていたようで笑いました(あとがきより)。どの話も漫画として綺麗にまとまっているので読みやすかったです。BL脳的には表題作の『兄の忠告』だけで一冊作って欲しかった。ちょっと物足りなかったです。他の作品は基本コメディで、楽しく読めました。

This review contains spoilers. I'm reading BL in the spirit that if the author thinks it's BL, it's BL, but when it comes to this work, the artist itself is BL...? I laughed because it seemed like I was drawing while searching (from the afterword). Every story was neatly organized as a comic, so it was easy to read. From a BL perspective, I wanted them to make one book with only the title “My Brother's Advice.” It was a bit unsatisfactory. The other works were basic comedies, and I enjoyed reading them.

不思議な世界

Mysterious world

BLとはってならながら描いたって書いてあって、確かにBLの括りでは難しいけど。ただただ単純に面白かった。

It says I drew it while saying BL, and it's certainly difficult with a BL group. It was just plain fun.

義理の関係や実は血の繋がりがない…などではなくガチ兄弟ものです。エロ要素は少ないですが、他の方もあげているブログと併せて読むと滾りますね。続編が読みたい

It's not that they have an in-law relationship or actually no blood connection... they are serious siblings. There aren't many erotic elements, but it's amazing to read it in conjunction with blogs that other people have also posted. I want to read the sequel

兄がカッコいいー

My older brother is cool

短編集です。表題作の兄がカッコよくて好き！でもBL感は薄いかな？朝田先生の作品はお話がどれも独創的で面白いので、BLとしてだけでなく楽しめてお得です。

This is a short edit. The older brother in the title work is cool and I like it! But I wonder if the BL feeling is weak? All of Asada-sensei's works are creative and interesting, so it's a great deal to enjoy them not only as BL.

色んなお話楽しめる

You can enjoy a variety of stories

SFチックな話(毛のやつ)から実際ありそうな(あってほしい)小説家の話など、幅広いですが、やはり表題作が一番刺さりました構成が面白いからか？疎遠な兄弟のヒューマンドラマ(BL味なし)かと思いきやブロマンスになり最後BLへ辿り着く感じですね〜作者さんのウェブサイト？で補完しました、とても良いです。全体通して雰囲気とか余韻が素敵な作品ばかりなので一気にファンになりましたこれ以降、作者買いしてます笑

There's a wide range of stories, from sci-fi style stories (those with hair) to stories about novelists that actually seem likely (I want there), etc., but is that because the structure that stuck the title work the most is interesting? I thought it was a human drama about estranged siblings (no BL flavor), but it's like they ended up with a bromance and finally reached BL ~ author's website? I've complemented it with, it's very good. There are only works with a wonderful atmosphere and afterglow throughout, so I became a fan all at once. Since then, I've been buying the author lol

独特な世界観！

A unique view of the world!

短編ものですが、どれも独特な世界観があって誰にも描けない世界だと思いました。私はやっぱり表題作の「兄の忠告」が好きですね。兄弟ものですが、お互いしかいないんだっていう雰囲気が最高でした。

Although they are short films, they all have a unique view of the world, and I thought it was a world that no one could draw. After all, I like the title work “My Brother's Advice.” They are siblings, but the feeling that they are the only ones with each other was great.

前々から気になっていた作者様。タイミング見計らっての購入。大好物の世界観！これでデビュー作とは？！いやいや驚き。面白い。引き込まれる。やばっ。凄い感覚と世界観。凄い作者様見つけられて満足。はまる。

An author I've been interested in for a long time. I bought it by estimating the timing. A world view of my favorite food! What is your debut work now?! no, no, surprise. interesting.
