ゴーストアンドレディ

Ghost and Lady

This review contains spoilers. 黒博物館シリーズ2作目。ゴーストアンドレディ、幽霊の男ととても有名な看護師となる女性のお話です。シェイクスピアの引用が色々出てきて、舞台めいたグレイの振る舞い、フローの情熱、切ないラストがとても印象的でした。

This review contains spoilers. This is the second film in the Black Museum series. Ghost and Lady is a story about a ghost man and a woman who becomes a very famous nurse. Various quotes from Shakespeare came up, and Grey's on-stage behavior, Flow's passion, and sad ending were very impressive.

フローという素敵な女性

A wonderful woman named Flo

This review contains spoilers. 観劇の予習用に購入。フローの信念を持って突き進む生き方が素敵で憧れる。グレイとの関係性も少しずつ変化があって、最後のサムシングフォーは泣いてしまった。原作は生霊のシーンがとても迫力があるので、観劇したけど原作未読の人は是非読んでほしい！

This review contains spoilers. Purchased to prepare for going to the theater. The way of life where you push forward with the belief of flow is wonderful and I admire it. My relationship with Grey also changed little by little, and I cried at the end of Something 4. The original story has a very powerful scene with ghosts, so if you've watched the theater but haven't read the original, I definitely want you to read it!

劇団四季からきました！！！

I'm here from Shiki Theatre Company!!!

ミュージカルを見て、原作を読んでみようと思って買いました。うしおととらの人だ！くらいしか知らなかったんですが、ナイチンゲールの一生とファンタジーの部分がうまくパズルのようにはまっていて面白かったです！舞台版とはまた違ったせつなさ（当然ですね…）があって泣いてしまいました。絵の力づよさがすごいですね…。また大切に読み返したいです。

I watched the musical and bought it because I wanted to read the original story. It's Ushio and Tora's person! I only knew about that, but the life and fantasy parts of Nightingale fit right in like a puzzle, and it was fun! I cried because there was something different from the stage version (of course...). The strength of the picture is amazing... I want to carefully reread it again.

素晴らしい作品です。

It's a great piece of work.

劇団四季を観劇した後に原作も読んで物語の理解を深めようと思いました。作画の線が本当に繊細でキャラクターの心情の変化が綺麗に描かれていました。

After watching Shiki Theatre Company, I thought I'd read the original story to deepen my understanding of the story. The lines of the drawing were really delicate, and the changes in the characters' feelings were drawn beautifully.

170年前の絶望の現代性と救いと

Desperate modernity and salvation 170 years ago

2015年初版の青年漫画のバトルアクション作品の本作。手にしたきっかけは、劇団四季の舞台が、あまりにも良かったから。種々の設定があるのだけれど、主軸を実在したフローレンス・ナイチンゲール（フロー）と、今もあるイギリスのドルーリー・レーン王立劇場の伝説となっている幽霊、灰色の服の男（グレイ）、という異質な2人のラブロマンスと見ると、俄然面白くなってくる。片や、一生独身で過ごしたクリミアの天使と呼ばれた聖人。だが、本作では裕福な家庭に生まれながら天啓を受け、人助けを生涯の使命と信じているのに、家族に理解されないしがらみから、自分の思うように生きることができない一人の若い女性として描かれている。絶望の中で彼女が望むのは死。しかし、キリスト教では自死は禁忌であるため、幽霊となって劇場にいるグレイに自分を殺すことを頼み込む。対するグレイは、芝居好きの幽霊で、悲劇を見たいがためにこれを引き受けるが…。試し読みでは分からないと思うのですが、このグレイが魅力的なんです。後から明かされる彼の人生は、裏切りに始まり裏切りに終わり、人間不信にならざるを得ない存在。そんな彼が、唯一見た美しいものが芝居、というところで、日頃辛いことがあっても、舞台を見ている間は現実を忘れて人間の本質の美しさに心を動かされて生きてきたので感情移入して涙。彼の生きざまを聞いてフローが、誰も独りで逝かせないと決意し、人間不信だったグレイがフローといるうちに、人間の中に美しさを見出していき、共にかけがえなない相手になっていく過程がさ…死にたがりの人間と、とっくに死んじゃって生きがいも何もなかった幽霊とが、お互いのために、生きがいを見つける姿、守るべきもののためにバトルする姿に、これまでのバトル・アクションに対する概念が変わったのです。しかも、フローの偉業や、周囲にいる人物は史実に基づいているのが凄い。グレイがフローが力強く成長する理由になっているという展開もお見事。そして恋愛要素だけではなく、若い女性に対する家族や軍隊という男社会に絶望させられそうになる姿や戦争下での人間心理という現代に通じる問題も描かれていて170年前の出来事なのに古臭くない。結婚の祝い(ｻﾑｼﾝｸﾞﾌｫｰ）のﾏｻﾞｰｸﾞｰｽの歌の伏線回収に大泣き。プロが探す作品に外れなしと実感したスタオベ作品♦史実と伝説の見事な融合、素晴らしき哉

This is a battle action comic about young people that was first published in 2015. The reason I got it was because the Shiki Theatre Company stage was so good. There are various settings, but it suddenly becomes interesting when you look at the love romance between two different people: Florence Nightingale (Flo), who actually existed as the main axis, and the ghost that is still a legend at the Drury Lane Royal Theatre in England, and the man dressed in gray (gray). Kataya is a saint called a Crimean angel who spent his whole life single. However, in this work, it is depicted as a young woman who was born into a wealthy family and received enlightenment, and even though she believes that helping people is her lifelong mission, she is unable to live the way she wants due to her reluctance not to be understood by her family. What she wants in the midst of despair is death. However, since suicide is taboo in Christianity, he becomes a ghost and asks Gray in the theater to kill himself. Gray, on the other hand, is a ghost who loves plays, and he takes on this because he wants to see a tragedy... I don't think I can understand it from the trial reading, but this gray is fascinating. His life, which is revealed later, begins with betrayal and ends with betrayal, and he is forced to mistrust humanity. The only beautiful thing he saw was a play, and even though he had a hard time on a daily basis, he forgot about reality while watching the stage and lived his life moved by the beauty of human nature, so he empathized and burst into tears. Listening to his way of life, Flo decided not to let anyone pass away alone, and while Grey, who was distrustful of humans, was with Flow, the process of finding beauty in humans and becoming irreplaceable opponents together... the way humans wanted to die and ghosts who had died long ago and had no purpose in life battle for each other, finding a purpose in life, and for something to protect, the concept of battle action up until now changed. . What's more, it's amazing that Flo's feats and the people around him are based on historical facts. The development that Gray is the reason for Flow's strong growth is also remarkable. Also, not only the romance element, but it also depicts issues leading to the present day, such as families against young women and the male society of the military, and human psychology under war, and it's not old-fashioned even though it happened 170 years ago. I cried a lot about collecting foreshadowing from the massage song from The Marriage Celebration (Sam Singh). A star work that I realized was perfect for works that professionals search for ♦ A splendid fusion of historical facts and legends, it's wonderful

すばらし。

great.

This review contains spoilers. 絶望した時に死をくれるヒトがいるというのは確かに安心するかもなぁ、と思う。だって絶望した時って人生終わらせたくなるものでしょう。本気で絶望した事はないので予想でしかないですが、少なくとも絶望を感じる心をその時ばかりは終わらせたくなるに違いない。宗教上、自分で自分を終わらせづらいナイチンゲールにとってこれ以上の救いはない。そして、死ぬ気になればなんでもできる底力も併せ持っていた彼女にもう怖いものなんて（救いであるグレイがいなくなること以外）ないわけで、ああ、これ絶対に面白いじゃんって思いました。なんとなくグレイにうしおととらのとらちゃんを感じてほっこりしつつ、でもとらちゃんとも違う人間らしさもしっかり持っていてニヤニヤしっぱなし。ラストは泣く準備をがっつりしてから読了させていただきました。おかげさまで涙と鼻水でぐじゅぐじゅです。皆、電車内や職場では読むんじゃないぞ。

This review contains spoilers. I think it is certainly reassuring that there are people who die in times of despair. Because when you're hopeless, it's probably something that makes you want to end your life. I've never really felt hopeless, so it's just a prediction, but at least that's when I feel hopeless, I'm sure you'll want to put an end to the feeling of hopelessness. There is no greater salvation for Nightingale, who has trouble finishing himself on his own due to religion. Also, since she had the strength to do anything if she felt like dying, she didn't have anything scary anymore (other than the loss of Grey, which is salvation), so I thought, oh, this is definitely interesting. Somehow I felt that Tora-chan was grey and felt relaxed, but she also had a human personality that was different from Tora-chan, and I was still smirking. I finished reading the last one after getting ready to cry. Thanks to you, I'm dumbfounded with tears and a runny nose. Not everyone reads it on the train or at work.

演劇仕立ての上質な踊り

High quality dance tailored to a play

This review contains spoilers. 契約（約束）マザーグース出会った二人のダンスの舞台は戦場へ。ゴーストの軽妙さが重い内容を中和していて良い。上下2冊でまとめた作者に脱帽。最後は泣きました。

This review contains spoilers. Contract (promise) The dance stage for the two people who met Mother Goose went to the battlefield. It's good that the lightness of Ghost neutralizes heavy content. Hats off to the author who put it together in 2 books, top and bottom. I cried at the end.

尊敬するあの方が

That person I respect

This review contains spoilers. シェークスピア、幽霊が日常的？というイギリスが舞台のお話。導入は学芸員のお話から始まりましたが、そこから劇場に住み着く男の幽霊〈灰色の服の男〉、そして有名なお嬢様〈フローレンス・ナイチンゲール)との出会いにつながっていきます。自分自身の心、生霊が直接的な戦いをしているように描かれ、迫力があります！決闘代理人でもある灰色の服の男はユーモアがあって、何だかんだ手助けをし、ナイチンゲールさんとのコンビがよいです。ナイチンゲールさんの半生も描かれており、どのような状況で看護の仕事をしてきたのかも分かり、作者さんの念入りな下調べが感じられます。

This review contains spoilers. Shakespeare, are ghosts everyday? It's a story set in England. The introduction began with the curator's story, and from there, it led to an encounter with the ghost of a man living in the theater (the man in gray clothes) and the famous young lady “Florence Nightingale). It is depicted as if my own mind and spirits are in direct battle, and it's impressive! The man in gray, who is also a duel agent, has a sense of humor, helps in some way, and is a good combination with Nightingale. Nightingale's half-life is also depicted, and you can also see under what circumstances she worked as a nurse, and you can feel the author's careful preliminary research.

いい話

Nice story

This review contains spoilers. 参考文献めちゃくちゃ多くてびっくりしました。下調べを入念になさって話を作り、漫画を描いているということに驚きました。下調べだけでなく、ストーリー運びも良かったです。サムシングブルーが、大きな伏線？

This review contains spoilers. I was surprised that there were so many references. I was surprised that they did careful preliminary research to create stories and draw comics. Not only was the preliminary research done, but the story was also good. Is Something Blue a big foreshadowing?

やっぱり素敵な女性ですね。

After all, she's a wonderful woman.

こんな捉え方があったのかと感心してしまいました。確かに、主人公は優しいだけの性格ではなかっただろうし、時には、強く激しい一面があったのだろうなと考えさせられるお話でした。藤田和日郎さんの漫画は、どれも本当にストーリーが素敵で大好きです。絵は女性が少し敬遠してしまいそうな迫力がありますが、ぜひ読んでもらいたい漫画家さんです。

I was impressed that there was such a way of capturing it. Certainly, the main character probably didn't just have a kind personality, and it was a story that made me think that sometimes, he had a strong and intense side. All of Fujita Kazujiro's comics have really wonderful stories and I love them. The picture is impressive, and women might shy away from it, but it's a manga artist I definitely want them to read.

This review contains spoilers. いやぁ本当に面白い作品です聞いた話によれば、この作品を描くにあたり藤田先生はナイチンゲールの資料を徹底的に読み研究したとか・・・怪奇と幻想の世界を描かせたら藤田先生の右に出る者はおらんやろうな

This review contains spoilers. Well, it's a really interesting work. According to what I've heard, Fujita sensei thoroughly read and researched Nightingale materials when drawing this work... if I were to draw a world of horror and fantasy, no one would come close to Fujita sensei's right

とても感動しました！劇団四季で上演されるということで、原作読んでみましたがとてもいいです！恋愛というより、勇気がもらえるような漫画でした。

I was so impressed! It's going to be performed by Shiki Theatre Company, so I read the original story, and it's very nice! It was a comic that gave me courage rather than love.
