Heartfelt and emotional

This was a beautifully written story about kindness, trust, and human connection. The characters felt so real and their growth was nice, making it easy to get emotionally invested.

With its blend of heartache and hope, the story explores belonging and second chances in a simple yet profound way. A very touching, reflective read.

A redo of Kimi wa pet

Has a Kimi wa pet vibe but the hero is just 16 and they have a 15 years gap, so I hope there is no romance planned xD or at the very least I would expect a time skip or something.
I think Kimi wa pet characters and narrative were deeper but maybe with more chapters it will improve?

すっきり完結！

Clean and complete!

This review contains spoilers. 藍と凪沙の心の変化を見守るような作品でした。なんといっても最後に凪沙と結ばれて本当に良かったー！こういう年の差系って最後思わせぶりな感じで終わる作品が多いから、これはスッキリ終わって読後感も良かったです。やっと気持ちを受け止めてもらえて「ハグしていいですか？照」はかわいすぎるだろ。最後まで愛おしい凪沙くんでした。

This review contains spoilers. It was like watching Ai and Nagisa's change of heart. After all, I'm really glad I ended up with Nagisa at the end! There are many works of this kind of age difference that end with a surprising feeling, so this one ended cleanly and I had a good feeling after reading it. They finally accepted my feelings and said, “Can I hug you? “Teru” is too cute, isn't it? Nagisa was adorable until the end.

This review contains spoilers. 飼うっていう表現なかなか珍しいじゃないですか、気になって読み始めました。ふとした時に「大人にとって都合のいい子供」な部分が垣間見えて、学生時代の自分と重ねてました。無意識的だったかもしれないけれど、その部分を藍が諭したり友人や先生に相談し、自ら答えを出したときは感動しました。それが寂しい答えに見えても、結果的にとても嬉しい終わり方だったと思います。ひとつだけ物足りないと言えば、これから先をもう一話読みたかったな〜！笑

This review contains spoilers. The expression to keep is pretty rare, isn't it? I was curious and started reading it. By accident, I caught a glimpse of the “convenient child for adults” part, and it overlapped with my self when I was a student. It may have been unconscious, but I was moved when Ai admonished that part, talked to her friends and teachers, and came up with her own answers. Even though that seemed like a lonesome answer, I think it was a very happy ending as a result. If I had to say that one thing wasn't enough, I wanted to read another episode from now on! lol

素敵なお話

A wonderful story

最後まで良いお話でした。ヒロインが女々しくないどころか大人としてしっかりしてるのがめちゃくちゃ良かったです！最終話のあとの2人がその後どうなっていくのか気になります…

It was a good story until the end. It was really nice that the heroine was solid as an adult rather than being feminine! I'm curious what happens to the 2 people after the final episode after that...

続編希望！

Hope for a sequel!

This review contains spoilers. 藍と同世代の身で、いろんなことを考えさせられるし、最後までドキドキさせてもらった作品。凪沙くんは、卒業後どんな場所に就職したのかな？お休みの日に出かけたり、触れ合うことがあるのかな？二人の関係のその後がとても気になります。続編を待ってます。

This review contains spoilers. Being of the same generation as Ai, this work made me think about a lot of things, and made me excited until the end. What kind of place did Nagisa get a job after graduation? I wonder if they go out or interact with each other on their days off? I'm really worried about the aftermath of their relationship. I'm waiting for the sequel.

終わってしまった

It's over

素敵なお二人です。ずっと見ていたいお二人です。終わってしまって残念。ラストに不満は全くないですが番外編出ないかなぁ。

They are two wonderful people. They are two people I want to watch for a long time. Too bad it's over. There are no complaints about the last one at all, but I wonder if there will be an extra edition.

良かった！けど難点が1つ

That was great! but there is one drawback

This review contains spoilers. 深夜から明け方にかけて一気読みしてしまいました。読んで良かった！「私の少年」に似てるけど、あれは最後まで恋愛なのかどうか曖昧に終わったのに対し、これはきちんと2人の恋が実ったのを見届けられて良かったです。絵もきれいだし、出てくる子たちみんないい子だし、お風呂上がりに裸を見られてキャーみたいなベタなエロネタもないし、とても丁寧な作品でした。ただ、難点がひとつ。タイトルが良くないです！！ミスマッチすぎる。釣りですか？にしてもひどい。これ男女逆転して「少女を飼う」だったらいかに不快か分かりますかね？このタイトルのせいで人に薦められない。そこだけとても残念です。

This review contains spoilers. I read it all at once from midnight until dawn. I'm glad I read it! It's similar to “My Boy,” but while it ended with ambiguity about whether it was a love affair until the end, it was nice to be able to see that the love between the two came to fruition properly. The pictures were beautiful, all the kids that came out were nice kids, and they were seen naked after taking a bath, and there wasn't any sticky erotic material, and it was a very careful work. However, there is one drawback. The title isn't good!! That's too much of a mismatch. fishing? Even so, it's terrible. Do you know how uncomfortable it would be if men and women were reversed and “keep a girl”? I can't recommend it to anyone because of this title. That's just so disappointing.

㊗️完結とドラマ化

㊗️ Completion and drama adaptation

始まった頃から読んでるけど、とうとう完結で名残惜しい❗少年が青年に心も見た目も成長していく過程や一途な思いと、14歳下の男子と寄り添いながらキズナを深めていく30代の女性の心情が交わるハートフルなストーリーで素晴らしく良かった?他には無いタイプの展開で大満足?もう少し２人の赤い糸の行く末を見たかった?ドラマも始まってまだ序盤だけど、毎週楽しみに観てる?ドラマの結末はどこまでの原作に忠実なのか気にしながら観てる?またステキな作品を楽しみにしています❗お疲れさまでした?

I've been reading it since it started, but it's finally over and it's a pity ❗ It's a heart-full story where the boy's process of growing heart and appearance into a young man, unwavering thoughts, and the feelings of a woman in her 30s who is close to a boy 14 years younger intersect and the feelings of a woman in her 30s who deepens Kizuna while snuggling up with a boy 14 years younger, was it wonderful? are you very satisfied with the unrivaled type of development? did you want to see where the two of them go a little longer? The drama has started and it's still early, but are you looking forward to watching it every week? Are you watching while worrying about how faithful the ending of the drama is to the original? I'm looking forward to another great work ❗ thank you for your hard work?

本当の意味で相手を想うとは

What does it mean to think about someone in the true sense of the word

こういうことなのかもしれないと、勉強させられました。気持ちの押しつけじゃなく、でも、自分の気持ちを押し殺すでもなく建設的に自分の気持ちを認めて、相手の気持ちと立場を大事にしてる凪沙くんかっこいいじゃん！！大人じゃん！

It made me learn that this might be the case. Nagisa-kun, who constructively acknowledges her own feelings and values her partner's feelings and positions without imposing on her feelings or killing her own feelings, isn't she cool!! he's an adult!

I'm worried about the continuation...!

似たような話しは見たことあるなーと思いつつ一巻を読んだら止まらず最新巻まで一気に読んでしまいました！！10代と30代の感情の揺れ方がすごくリアルで素敵で早く続きがみたい！そしてどうかハッピーエンドでありますように！！！

I thought I'd seen a similar story before, but after reading the first volume, I couldn't stop and read the latest volume all at once!! The emotional turbulence in the teens and 30s is so real and wonderful, and I want to see it continue quickly! And I hope you have a happy ending!!!

もどかしいい～

It's so frustrating

最新刊の５巻まで読みましたが、少年の方が恋心を理解し始めて来ているので、２人のその後の展開がめっちゃ気になる…！！そして、無自覚な毒親と、無自覚に踏み台というか好き勝手に妹を使い潰す姉が、今後なにかしらの化学反応で真人間に進化しないのであれば、縁を切ってしまえば良いのに…と思ってしまった。縁を切れないなら、主人公たちの関係ない所で天誅されて欲しい…。

I've read up to 5 volumes of the latest edition, but since the boy has begun to understand love, I'm really curious about how the two unfold after that...!! Then, I thought that if an unaware toxic parent and an older sister who unknowingly uses up her sister without permission due to some kind of chemical reaction in the future, it would be good if they broke off their relationship... If they can't break the relationship, I want them to be punished in a place where the main characters have nothing to do with it...

めっちゃいい〜

it's so good~

少年が猫みたいでめっちゃかわいい！！最初無機質な感じで、グレてはいないけど気づかないうちに諦めてきたモノを見つけて取り戻して行く感じが繊細でいて10代独特の感性の鋭さがあって、あーあったなこういうことってグッと来る。主人公、30代独身女バリバリ仕事します！でも辛いコトだってあるし、自分を強く見せるコトに疲れる時だってあって、1人でいる時は気づかないけど人とちょっと深目に関わると、ああ自分寂しかったんだなって自覚するような感じが自然に書かれてる漫画でめっちゃいいです！！責任感がある大人で優しくてちょっと損しちゃう...とってもいい女性で魅力的な主人公です！！

The boy looks like a cat and is so cute!! At first, it was an inorganic feeling, and the feeling of finding something you had given up before you knew it and taking it back was delicate, and it had a sharp sensibility unique to teenagers, and oh well, this kind of thing came right away. The main character, a single woman in her 30s, works hard! But there are also painful things, and there are times when I get tired of things that make me look strong, and when I'm alone, I don't notice it, but when I get involved with people a little deeply, it's a comic that is written naturally, and it's really nice!! She's an adult with a sense of responsibility, and kind enough to lose money... she's a very nice woman and an attractive protagonist!!

Love with a difference in age is tough

年の差の恋愛はせつないよね、相手が未成年だと犯罪になる可能性があるしねぇ～ハラハラドキドキだね。これからも大変だけど頑張ってほしいなぁ～

A love relationship with an age difference isn't it, and if the partner is a minor, there's a possibility that it will become a crime ~ it's really exciting. It's going to be tough from now on, but I hope they do their best ~

Kids grow up fast. Well, he'll definitely be a good man in the future ~ the opposite is good when it comes to stories where the two don't stick together right away. the only thing I don't like is my sister and her husband lol

少年が成長していくさま

As the boy grows

おとなしい男の子が少しづつ成長していくのを見ていくのが楽しみです。気持ちの変化や体の変化、どのように今後の展開がなっていくのか楽しみ。主人公の気持ちもとても分かる。歳をとり、仕事に追われて、疲れて、もうきらめきとか出会いも無くなってきて、癒しが必要になる。寂しさ、癒しを本能的に求めるのは自然な形なのではないだろうか。身に沁みる。

I'm looking forward to watching the quiet boy grow little by little. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes in my feelings, changes in my body, and how the future unfolds. I also understand the protagonist's feelings very well. As I get older, I'm busy with work, I'm tired, I don't have any sparkles or encounters anymore, and I need healing. I think it's natural to instinctively seek loneliness and healing. It soaks into the body.
