作者さん曰く、王道ファンタジー

According to the author, it's a classic fantasy

分類的にはBL作品括り？となっていますが、青井先生の素敵な世界観、描写、言葉選び、2人の記録の旅、心が緩みました。

Is it a group of BL works in terms of classification? However, Aoi sensei's wonderful view of the world, description, choice of words, and the recorded journey of the two of them relaxed my mind.

鉱石を食べる不思議な少年

Mysterious boy eating ore

This review contains spoilers. あちこちを旅する学者・ベントと、鉱石を食べる謎めいた少年・イーリス。廃鉱で出会い、倒れたイーリスを介抱して秘密を知ったベントは、イーリスを伴って旅に出る。背景や緑の描写がすごい！カラーじゃないのに一コマにむせ返るような緑。人目を避けて一人で生きてきたイーリスが旅先で初めて知る物事に静かに感じ入っている姿が印象的。イーリスとその一族に起こったことがあまりに辛かった。ベントと出会ったことで、イーリスが過ごす永い刻はこれまでとはまったく違う温かいものになるはず。BL的要素はほぼないけど、恋より愛の物語。細部まで凝っていて隅々まで綺麗な作品でした。

This review contains spoilers. Scholar Bent, who travels all over the place, and Iris, an enigmatic boy who eats ore. Bent, who met at an abandoned mine and learned a secret by caring for Iris who had fallen, sets out on a journey with Eris. The background and green depiction are amazing! Even though it's not a color, it's a green that seems like it's going back in one frame. It is impressive to see how Iris, who has avoided the public eye and lived alone, quietly feels the things she first knows during her travels. What happened to Iris and her family was so painful. Having met Bent, the long time that Iris spends should be completely different and warm than before. There are almost no BL elements, but it's a story of love rather than love. Every detail was elaborate and every inch of the work was beautiful.

うわぁ…素敵。

wow... nice.

凄く絵が綺麗。背景から木々、花バナ、魅惑的な石でさえも。もちろん人物も。細かく繊細な線に1ページ1ページ食い入るように見ました。もちろんストーリーも惹きつけられました。BL描写はないのでBLて無くても良いような…

The picture is so beautiful. From the background, trees, flower bananas, and even enchanting stones. Of course people too. I looked at it as if it cut into the fine and delicate lines page by page. Of course, I was also drawn to the story. There is no BL depiction, so it seems like it's fine without BL...

とてもいいです！

It's very nice!

綺麗な絵にストーリーも素敵です。初作者さんだったのですが表紙が気になり購入。石を食べる少年と石を研究する男性のお話です。他の作品も読みます！

The pictures are beautiful and the story is wonderful. It was the first author, but I was curious about the cover and bought it. This is a story about a boy who eats stones and a man who studies stones. I will read other works too!

絵も話も綺麗で素敵でした。ファンタジーだけどしっかり設定が練られていて、またこれ系統の作品を描いて欲しいです。

相変わらず素敵な物語✴️

A wonderful story as always ✴️

こちらの作者さんの本は３冊目です。ファンタジーで、絵もストーリーも最高に素敵。相変わらず透明感があって。外れがなくて自分の好みに凄く合うので今度は作者さん買いしてみます□❤️エロエロはないですが、読みごたえあり、読後感もよいです‼️

This is the author's third book. It's fantasy, and the pictures and story are so wonderful. There was still a sense of transparency. There's nothing wrong with it and it really suits my taste, so I'll buy it from the author next time □ ❤️ There's no erotic, but it's satisfying to read, and it feels good after reading ‼️

「美しい物語」

“A beautiful story”

紹介文からですが・・鉱石を食べる種族の生き残りのイーリスと、ベントの美しい物語。何故種族は絶えてしまったのか。生き残りから意味するものは・・？石を食べると・・？あとには砂漠の金剛石にまつわるエピソードもあり切なくていたたまれない気持ちにもなりますが、ストーリーの背景にあるものが深くて美しいのです。絵も本当に美しく心ときめいてしまう。セリフやモノローグなど発せられることばもよく選ばれていて美しく、すっと心にしみわたります。ベントのイーリスに対する気持ちは親が子を想う気持ちのようで胸がつまりました。とても素敵な作品に出合えたことに感謝。2013／全166頁（第一～五話＋描き下ろし11頁二十億回のまたたき＋あとがき）

From the introduction... a beautiful story of Iris and Bent, a surviving race that eats ore. Why did the races die out? What does surviving mean...? if you eat a stone...? There is also an episode related to Diamond in the Desert, which makes me feel sad and unbearable, but what is in the background of the story is deep and beautiful. The picture is also really beautiful and makes my heart flutter. The words uttered, such as lines and monologues, are also well-chosen, beautiful, and quickly permeate the heart. Bent's feelings for Iris were like a parent's feelings for their child, and it filled my heart. I am grateful that I came across such a wonderful work. 2013/166 pages in total (episodes 1 to 5, 11 pages drawn down, 2 billion times mattering+afterword)

壮大なロマンを感じる素敵な話◎

A wonderful story with an epic romance ◎

This review contains spoilers. 初読み作家さんの鉱石モノ♪鉱物好きなので夢のあるお話に大満足。BLジャンルにするにはもったいないですね〜!鉱石を食し瞳から虹色の光を放つ魅惑的な特性を持つ民族の末裔少年イーリスと、その民族に心を奪われ鉱物学者となったベントの話。解剖や生体を明確にしたい研究対象だろうにベントの行動は、自分とは寿命が違うイーリスの残りの人生を想うもので。孤独だったイーリスが、外の世界や人との交流を知り自分よりも早く刻む鼓動に安らぎを覚え、ひとつの決心をするまでの対話が魅力◎「今のぼくのほとんどはベントで出来てる」なんて素敵♪鉱石と星のリンクと数億年の歴史を食しているという壮大な世界観をとても気に入りました(^^)互いの人生がひっくり返る様な運命的な出逢いの話は、静かに淡々と流れる展開も表情の硬さも、無機質な鉱物の持つロマンととてもよく合っていて◎二人の旅がまだプロローグなのもいい◎

This review contains spoilers. The first reading writer's Ore Thing ♪ I like minerals, so I'm very satisfied with the story I have a dream about. It would be a waste to switch to the BL genre! A story about Iris, a young boy descended from an ethnic group with fascinating characteristics that eat ore and emits rainbow-colored light from his eyes, and Bent, who was fascinated by that ethnic group and became a mineralogist. Whether it's a research subject for which you want to clarify anatomy or living organisms, Bent's behavior reminds me of the rest of Iris's life span, which is different from her own. The story of a fateful encounter where Iris, who was lonely, knows how to interact with the outside world and people, and feels at ease with the heartbeat that carves faster than her own, and the dialogue until she makes one decision is fascinating ◎ “Most of me now is made of vents” ♪ I really liked the link between ores and stars and the grand worldview where they eat hundreds of millions of years of history (^^) The story of a fateful encounter where each other's lives are turned upside down is a story about the quiet and gentle development and hardness of expressions, and the romance of inorganic minerals It fits so well ◎ it's also nice that their journey is still a prologue ◎

ため息の出る美しさ

Breathtaking beauty

表紙の色彩感覚すごく好みです、裏表紙も巻末に収録されていてそちらの鉱物も綺麗です。青井秋さんの登場人物は美しくて儚い雰囲気の子が多いですが、イーリスは本当に神秘的です。だって瞳の色が宝石の様に変化するし、主食は鉱物だし歯も…。美しいイーリスと鉱物の輝き、民族衣装風の装いや自然の風景などなど…ほんと目の保養です。大人の為の絵本を読んでいるようなうっとり感を味わえると思います。青井さんの作品の中でもBL要素は皆無に近いです、でも父と子の様な関係の2人もなかなか良いですよ。

I really like the sense of color on the cover, and the back cover is also recorded at the end of the book, and the minerals there are also beautiful. Many of Aoi Aki's characters are beautiful and have an ephemeral vibe, but Elise is really mysterious. Because the color of the eyes changes like jewels, the staple food is mineral broth, and teeth... The beautiful Iris and the brilliance of minerals, folk costumes, natural scenery, etc... it's really a feast for the eyes. I think you can enjoy the enchanting feeling of reading a picture book for adults. There are almost no BL elements in Aoi's work, but the two people have a pretty good relationship with a father and child.

石が美味しそう

石を食べる少年、その少年を研究している男との密接な関係だけど、美しく儚く思えてしまうぐらいおもしろいです。

It's a close relationship between the boy who eats stones and the man who studies that boy, but it's so interesting that it seems beautiful and ephemeral.

静かに穏やかに流れるように

Let it flow quietly and gently

BLに分類されてますが、BLじゃなくてもそのまま通ります。絵がとても綺麗で、静かで、流れるような感じの作品。優しくて、どことなく切なくて、穏やかな気持ちになれる作品。この雰囲気をまったり堪能したくて、もっと続きが読みたくなります。もう終わり!?と物足りなかったのが少し残念。ページにふられている鉱石がかわいいです。総166ページ。

It's classified as BL, but even if it's not BL, it goes through as it is. The picture is very beautiful, quiet, and flowing. This work is kind, somewhat sad, and makes you feel peaceful. I want to relax and enjoy this atmosphere, and I want to read more. it's over already!? It's a bit disappointing that it wasn't enough. The ore on the page is cute. 166 pages in total.

綺麗で繊細な物語

A beautiful and delicate story

ＢＬというジャンルになっていますが、全然ＢＬっぽくありません。一冊まるまる使って表題作なので、過不足なく、綺麗な物語として収まっています。まるで、外国の御伽話でも読んでいるかのような、ノスタルジーな気分になりました。余韻に浸れる、文学的な作品です。細かなところまで本当に絵が美しいです。イラストとして眺めるだけでも一見の価値があると思います。紙の本で欲しくなりました。二人の関係性は恋人というより友人とか親子とか・・・上手く言えませんが、どちらかというとそういったものに近いと思います。特に恋愛らしい描写もないです。また、このお話においては、二人の関係は恋愛になりそうでならない今の関係がベストなのではとも思います。ですので、他の方も仰っていますが、恋愛や、ＢＬっぽさを求める方にはおすすめしません。それを踏まえたうえで興味を持つ方にはぜひおすすめしたいと思います。

It's in the BL genre, but it doesn't look like BL at all. Since it is a title work using the entire book, there are no excesses or deficiencies, and it fits into a beautiful story. It made me feel nostalgic, as if I was reading a foreign fairy tale. It's a literary work that leaves you immersed in the afterglow. The picture is really beautiful down to the smallest detail. I think it's worth taking a look just by looking at it as an illustration. I wanted it in a paper book. I can't say that the relationship between the two is friends, parents and children rather than lovers... but I think it's rather close to that kind of thing. There are no particularly romance-like depictions. Also, in this story, I think that the relationship between the two is best now, where the relationship between the two is unlikely to turn into a love affair. So, as others have said, I don't recommend it to those looking for romance or BL vibes. Based on that, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested.

ジャンルを越えた美しいストーリー

A beautiful story that transcends genres

165ページ、1冊表題作b。お話も絵も、本当に綺麗。設定が変わっていて、ストーリーがとても良いです。あえて振り分けるなら、広義のBL&ファンタジーかな?2人の信頼には恋人のような唯一さがありますが、その想いには相手へのリスペクト≒距離があり、家族愛や友愛が混じったようなものにも感じます。愛情がとても綺麗でピュアなので、年齢性別問わず広い読者層にファンができそうな作品。例えばですが、壮年男性にも受けそう。余韻が心地良い読後感。2人の恋の進展に寂しい感じもありつつ、これはこういう形が良いのかも?とも思えました。いかにもBL、ラブラブがよい方には向きません。

165 pages, 1 book title work b. The story and pictures are really beautiful. The setting has changed and the story is very good. If I had to sort them out, would it be BL & fantasy in a broad sense? The trust between the two is unique, like a lover, but that feeling has a distance of respect for the other person, and it also feels like a mixture of family love and friendship. Since the love is so beautiful and pure, this work seems to have fans among a wide range of readers regardless of age or gender. For example, middle-aged men also seem to accept it. The afterglow is pleasant after reading. While there is also a feeling of loneliness as the love between the two progresses, maybe this kind of shape is good? I also thought so. It really isn't suitable for people who are good at BL or love love.

文学作品的漫画

Literary comics

作者買いです。まずホントに絵が緻密で美しいです。きっと紙書籍の方がもっと良さが伝わるのでしょうが。そしてファンタジーなのですが、いったいどんな時にこの設定を思い付くのか知りたいです。BLと言うジャンルに分けなくてもいいような素敵な作品でした。

I'm buying the author. First of all, the pictures are really detailed and beautiful. I'm sure the paper book conveys even more goodness. And it's fantasy, but I'd like to know when exactly they come up with this setting. It was such a wonderful work that it didn't have to be divided into the BL genre.

This review contains spoilers. Bent meets Iris, a mysterious boy who eats ore in an abandoned mine. A species called Desert Diamond. I was invited by Bent and decided to go on a trip together. “Will I be eating the history of the stars?” “I will eat a part of history and become a part of history.” It's a BL genre, but it's a broromance.

It was a very nice story

ストーリー設定と絵柄がマッチして、一気に読めました。物語の絵本と言う感じ。日頃の日常を忘れて、ファンタジーの世界に浸ってみるのも良いものですね。

The story settings matched the design, and I was able to read it all at once. It's like a picture book of a story. It's also good to forget about everyday life and immerse yourself in a fantasy world.
