セクシー

sexy

不思議なお話でしたが、そういう種の人達が本当に社会のどこかにいるんじゃないかと思えてくるな作品でした。どの角の形もセクシーでしたね。

It was a strange story, but it was a work that made me think that kind of people really exist somewhere in society. Every horn shape was sexy, wasn't it?

物語に艶がある！めっちゃ良かった(^_^

The story has a luster! That was really good (^_^)

さすが青山十三先生の物語！(^_^)物語に独特の艶っぽさがあり、めっちゃ良かったです(^_^)ツノのある人たちの物語で短編集です。それぞれの物語に雰囲気があり余韻が残ります。完結している短編ですが、どの物語も続きがあれば読んでみたいと思うほど良い物語でした(^_^)

As expected, the story of Aoyama Juso Sensei! (^_^) The story has a unique luster, and it was really nice (^_^) It's a short story about people with horns, and it's a short story. Each story has an atmosphere and leaves a lingering afterglow. It's a complete short story, but every story was so good that I wanted to read it if there was a continuation (^_^)

良かったです

That was great

角人の短編集です。最初も良かったけど、少しダークな世界のツノイくんのお話にやられたなー。幸せになっててほしい！

This is Kakujin's short story. The beginning was good too, but I was drawn to the story of Tsunoi-kun in a slightly dark world. I want them to be happy!

角短編集

Short angle editing

角に焦点を当てた短編集、色んな角が出てきました！どの角もなかなか深いストーリーを背負っていましたが、鬼が特に切なかった。皆さん仰る通り、1話完結じゃ勿体ない出来栄えです！ショートストーリーでも良いから、後日譚読みたいですね♪

A short story focusing on horns, various horns have come out! Every corner had a pretty deep story, but the devil wasn't particularly sad. As everyone said, it would be a shame to finish episode 1! Even short stories are fine, so I want to read later stories ♪

とにかく角

Anyway, horns

This review contains spoilers. 角たっぷりです。表題作の他、短編もいくつか。私は転校生のツノイ君のお話が好きでした。常に実験や研究がつきまとう角ありの人たちを取り巻く切ない独特な世界観がよかったです。

This review contains spoilers. There are plenty of horns. In addition to the title work, there are also several short stories. I loved the story of Tsunoi, a transfer student. I liked the sad and unique view of the world that surrounds people with horns, where experiments and research always accompanies them.

映画だよ

It's a movie

有角人種のお話は始めてでした。有角人種に纏わる話も、最後の１人というのも、そしてゲイであって、数学者…もう、可哀想でもあり、力強くもあり、不思議な不思議でキレイなお話でした。BLというより、映画にしたら凄そうですね。

It was my first time talking about horned people. The story about the horned race, the last person, and being gay, mathematician... it was a sad, powerful, and strangely mysterious and beautiful story. Rather than BL, it would be amazing if it were made into a movie.

じっくりと

Slowly

This review contains spoilers. じっくりと読み込んでしますような一冊。天才数学者のプライベートを暴こうとする男と獣人数学者。なんだか不思議な世界観にイラストが良く合ってます。繊細で柔らかで頑なな数学者。裏切るのも仕事のうちと思ってる男。どんどん引き込まっていきました。

This review contains spoilers. It's a book that seems like you're reading it carefully. A male and animal mathematician trying to uncover the private life of a genius mathematician. The illustrations fit well with the somewhat strange view of the world. A delicate, soft, and stubborn mathematician. A man who thinks betraying him is part of his job. I was drawn in more and more.

角を有する人とともに

With people who have horns

角といっても多種多様。羊に牛に鹿、さらには鬼までも。青山先生が愛してやまない角を有する人とともに生きる世界の物語は４種類。不思議なシチュエーションが生み出すものは、とてもあたたかいのにどこか切なさも込み上げてくるお話ばかり。表題作は主役の数学者・イーライと同居するコニアが物凄く可愛らしい！それだけに彼等の生き辛さを知ると悲しみも増して…。短編では鬼に纏わるお話に心惹かれました。出来ることならば続きをもう少し見たいと思うほどに。

There is a wide variety of horns. Sheep, cows, deer, and even demons. There are 4 types of stories about the world where Aoyama sensei lives with people who have horns he loves. Mysterious situations only create stories that are so warm yet somehow sad. In the title work, Conia, who lives with the leading mathematician Eli, is so cute! For that reason, my sorrow increased when I learned about the hardships of their lives... I was fascinated by the story involving demons in the short story. So much so that I'd like to watch the continuation a little longer if I could.

紙も持ってる

I also have paper

青山先生の本で一番を選ぶならこれ。私はファンタジー要素って中途半端に詳しくされるくらいだったらこれぐらいふわっとしてるほうが好きです。読み幅出来るので。「有角人である必要性」って言われたらそれは一言「萌え」でいい気がします。ケモミミみたいなジャンルってことでは。

If I had to pick the best Aoyama-sensei book, this would be it. I prefer fantasy elements that are this fluffy if they get half-hearted in detail. Because the reading width can be achieved. When people say “the need to be a horned person,” I feel like the word “moe” is fine. I think it's a genre like chemomimi.

素敵ファンタジー

wonderful fantasy

有角人を主人公にしたお話4CP。青山さんのツノ愛が詰まった一冊。表題作はポアンカレ予想の証明の逸話からこんなドラマチックなファンタジーが出来るとは感動です(^^)記者ヒデ×有角人の天才数学者Dr.イーライのお話。絶滅寸前種族が人間にされてきた事や発病に怯えるコニアから残酷さや儚さがあるところをコミカルに展開。Dr.イーライとコニアはやっと希望を持てたんじゃないかな。みんなで家族の様に暮らせそう。可愛いコニアも恋を知れますように。イーライの美しさもヒデとの掛け合いももっと見てたいので、青山さん後日譚描いてくれますように（^人^）他3CPどれもドラマがあってとても良かったです。

A 4CP story with a famous person as the main character. A book filled with Aoyama's love for horns. The title work is moving that such a dramatic fantasy can be created from an anecdote proving Poincaré predictions (^^) A story about reporter hide x horned genius mathematician Dr. Eli. It comically unfolds the fact that a race on the verge of extinction has been made into humans and where there is cruelty and transience from Konya, who is afraid of the onset of the disease. I think Dr. Eli and Conia finally had hope. Everyone seems to be able to live like a family. May the cute Konya know about love too. I want to watch more of Eli's beauty and interaction with Hide, so I hope Aoyama will draw her later stories (^ people ^) and it was great that all of the other 3 CPs had dramas.

有角人

A horned person

青山先生のお好きな「角」がたっぷりな一冊です。天才数学者のイーライ（居場所がわからない、とされている）を探し追って来た記者ヒデ。嵌めるつもりがイーライの魅力にハマってしまって、彼らの苦悩を知り好きになっていく。ワケありのくせに、イーライは純情すぎてとてもカワイイ（笑）有角人の生態の謎やら、逃げてる理由やら、いろいろ出てきますが、なんだかほのぼのするんですよね。この2人。表題作で丸々一冊読みたかったー！

This is a book full of Aoyama sensei's favorite “horns.” Reporter Hide searched for the genius mathematician Eli (supposedly unknown where he is) and followed him. The intention was to fit in, but I became addicted to Eli's charms, and I learned about their anguish and fell in love with them. There's a reason why Eli is so innocent and so cute (laughs) that many things come up, such as the mystery of the ecology of horned people and the reason they're running away, but it's kind of heartwarming, isn't it? these 2 people. I wanted to read the entirety of the title book!

雰囲気がすごく良い、シリーズ化希望!

The atmosphere is really good, I hope it will be made into a series!

半分以上が表題作+他有角人の短編4作収録b。それぞれ登場人物は被ってなく、鬼や鹿などいろんな角だけど、同じ世界のお話（後書きに少し箇条書きの解説あり）。どの話もすごく良くて、どれも続きが読みたい。共通する切ない背景や同じ雰囲気があるからか、一冊通して読む満足感があった（各話の物足りなさを他の話が補ってくれた感じ?）表題作は連載だけにストーリーも深くキャラも良くて、一番好き。先生、美人で可愛い過ぎ。巻き角ヤバい。超キュート♪触りたくなる気持ちもわかる（角も血液通ってるから温かいんだよね。笑）作者さん、角の人達をもっと描いてくれないだろうか?どれもストーリーがしっかりあって、物語に背景（過去）があるから、一冊だけじゃ勿体無い。その後は勿論、その前でも何でも、続編欲しい。そういった前後の話も丁寧に作品にしてくれたら、この話自体もっと面白くなりそう。コレ、もし表題作の他が関係ない短編だったら、たぶん★4。（角の人で一冊にまとめてくれた担当者さんに感謝!←後書きより）

More than half are title works plus 4 short stories by other famous people b. There are no characters on each character, and they have various horns, such as demons and deer, but it's a story from the same world (with a few bullet points explanation in the afterword). Every story is really good, and I want to continue reading all of them. There was a sense of satisfaction reading through the book, probably because they had a common sad background and the same atmosphere (it felt like the other stories made up for the unsatisfactory nature of each episode?) The title work is only serialized, and the story is deep and the characters are good, and I like it the most. The teacher is too beautiful and cute. Curved angles are dangerous. Super cute ♪ I understand the feeling that makes you want to touch it (the horn also has blood running through it, so it's warm, isn't it? (Laughs) Why don't you draw more people in the corner, author? All of them have a solid story, and since the story has a background (past), it's useless to just one book. After that, of course, before that, I want a sequel. If those before and after stories were carefully made into a work, this story itself would be even more interesting. If this were a short story where nothing other than the title work had anything to do with it, it would probably be ★ 4. (Thanks to the person in charge of the corner who put it all together in one book! (← from afterword)

大好きです！

I love it!

研究材料にされてとかイヤなのも出てくるけど、どれも面白かった！ツノの生えてる人達の話です。まぁビックリするほどの美人受け！が好きな人には超オススメ！！３つ目の話は泣きました。再会出来て本当によかった！可哀想すぎるもん。絵が綺麗なので不思議系でも気になりません！

There are also things I don't like being used as research material, but all of them were interesting! This is a story about people with horns. Well, I was so surprised that she was so beautiful that she received it! Highly recommended for people who like it!! The third story made me cry. I'm really glad we were able to meet again! that's too pathetic. The picture is beautiful, so it doesn't bother me even if it's mysterious!

角にこだわったオムニバス短編集

An omnibus short story with a focus on corners

This review contains spoilers. ４作品収録。どれも角を持つ有角人を題材にした作品ですがそれぞれの作品に繋がりはありません。角を持つ人がいる世界、でも一般的ではなく珍しい存在で研究されたり虐げられたり。「キラキラのキミ」はコミカルでほんわかしているけど、他の作品は切なさが強い。「ツノイ君」が一番切なく辛いけど一番好き。星4.3

This review contains spoilers. Includes 4 works. All of these works are based on horned figures, but there is no connection between each work. Even in a world where there are people with horns, they are studied and oppressed for being unusual and not common. “Kirakira Kimi” is comical and heartwarming, but the other works have a strong sense of sadness. “Tsunoi-kun” is the saddest and hardest, but I like it the most. 4.3 stars

4話入り。

4 episodes in a pack.

表題の他に3本の短編が入っています。ファンタジーですが、世界観は現代日本やあり得そうな外国、少し前の日本などに落とし込まれていて、どれもほろりと切ないです。詩的な言葉が印象的。

In addition to the title, there are 3 short stories. It's fantasy, but the view of the world has been incorporated into modern Japan, likely foreign countries, Japan a little while ago, etc., all of which are bittersweet. The poetic words are impressive.

優しく切ないお話でした

It was a kind and sad story

表題作以外に短編が3つ。有角人でその人たちが皆、異端児として扱われてるお話だからか、どのお話も切なく苦しい、でも心温かくなるものばかりでした。絵もお話同様綺麗で切ない雰囲気。

In addition to the title work, there are 3 short stories. Every story was sad, painful, and heartwarming, probably because it was a story about famous people and all of them were treated as heretics. Just like the story, the pictures are beautiful and have a sad atmosphere.
