独特の世界感に引き込まれる！

You'll be drawn into a unique sense of the world!

安っぽい恋愛少女漫画とは全然違う。内容が濃くて読みごたえあります。絵も綺麗です。

It's completely different from cheesy romance girl comics. The content is intense and worth reading. The picture is also beautiful.

ドシリアス

Dosirius

これはなかなか暗い。。けど、すぐ引き込まれます。神秘的な出だしで始まって、内容は性に関するトラブルなどでなかなか現実的なお話。読んだらハマります。

This is pretty dark.. But I'm drawn in right away. It starts with a mysterious beginning, and the content is quite realistic about problems related to sex, etc. Once you read it, you'll be addicted to it.

十代の頃を想い出して・・・?????

Think back to when you were a teenager...????

ジョージ朝倉さんの作品はいつも独特の感性を感じますが、溺れるナイフは青春時代の歯がゆさや、純粋さ、甘酸っぱさを思い出させてくれるジョージ朝倉さんワールド全開の作品だと思います。私は好きですが、可愛い少女漫画とは少しタイプが違うので苦手な人には苦手かも？でも、お薦めの作品ですね?

George Asakura's works always have a unique sensibility, but I think Drowning Knife is George Asakura's work that reminds me of the teething, purity, and sweet and sour taste of youth. I like it, but the type is slightly different from cute girls' comics, so maybe people who don't like it aren't good at it? But isn't it a recommended work?

ただただ美しい

simply beautiful

痛々しいほどに過酷な境遇、いろんなしがらみを抱えもがきながらなんとか生きていこうとしてる航がせつなくて美しくて釘付けになった?キラキラするだけじゃない孤独や闇にも惹かれた。なつめが遠回りする6巻から11巻までは飛ばして1〜5巻、12〜17巻だけを読んだことでモヤモヤせず読めた✌

Painfully harsh circumstances, Wataru, who is trying to somehow live while struggling with all kinds of struggles, is so unsettled and beautiful that you are glued to it? I was attracted not only by glitter, but also by loneliness and darkness. I skipped volumes 6 to 11 where Natsume takes a detour and read only volumes 1 to 5 and 12 to 17, so I was able to read them without getting confused ✌

ハマる

Addicted

This review contains spoilers. 久しぶりに漫画を一気読みしたきがします。キラッキラな少女漫画ではなく、影の多い独特な内容というか雰囲気に引き込まれました。オススメですがただ最終巻読み終えたら少し物足りなかった。。。2人のその後はラストにありましたが、再会したところが見たかった(*_*)

This review contains spoilers. It's been a long time since I've been reading comics all at once. It wasn't a glittering girls' comic, and I was drawn into the unique content, or rather, atmosphere with lots of shadows. I recommend it, but when I finished reading the last volume, it wasn't enough... They were at the end after the two, but I wanted to see them meet again (*_*)

迷ってる方、パック買いおすすめです。

If you are unsure, I recommend buying a pack.

This review contains spoilers. ただの中学生の恋愛成長漫画ではないです。久しぶりに読み終わってこれでもう最終回なんだと喪失感に囚われた作品です…それくらいこの作品に惹きこまれました！コウちゃんとナツメのハッピーエンドへの道のりが長かった(^_^;)私はカナに対してイライラ、ウザいなと思ってましたが、実際のところこの子に感情移入してました笑この作品に出会えて本当に良かったです♡

This review contains spoilers. It's not just a middle school romance growth comic. I finished reading it for the first time in a long time, and I felt trapped in a sense of loss that it was already the last episode... I was so drawn to this work! Kou-chan and Natsume have a long way to a happy ending (^_^;) I thought Kana was frustrated and annoying, but I actually empathized with this kid lol I'm really glad I came across this work ♡

最初一巻だけ購入したのですが、みごと独特な世界観にハマり全巻購入してしまいました（笑）すごく深いというか色々考えさせられるというか…

I bought only one volume at first, but I was so addicted to the amazing and unique worldview that I bought the whole volume (laughs) it's really deep, or rather makes me think about a lot of things...

悲しいけど

It's sad but

独特の雰囲気です。光と影が描かれています。特殊な設定のようで、親近感もあるような、不思議な感覚です。

It has a unique atmosphere. Light and shadow are depicted. It seems like a special setting, and it's a strange feeling that there is also a sense of familiarity.

ヤバイです！どんどん引き込まれる

That's dangerous! I'm drawn in more and more

絵も個性的だし、話も独創的です。久々に読み応えある漫画に出会いました！テーマは重いけど、沈むだけではなく、若者達特有の爽快感も味わえます。お勧めです！

The pictures are unique, and the story is creative. It's been a while since I came across a comic worth reading! The theme is heavy, but not only does it sink, but you can also enjoy the exhilaration unique to young people. I recommend it!

苦しい

languishing

良い意味で読んだことを後悔しました。すべて読み終えたあとは、しばらくこの物語のことが頭から離れなくなります。それぐらい内容の濃い難解な話です。読み始めたら引き込まれて心が溺れるので、覚悟が必要です。

I regretted reading it in a good way. After I've read it all, I can't get this story out of my head for a while. It's a difficult story with so much content. Once you start reading, you'll be drawn in and your mind will drown, so you need to be prepared.

誰しもが持っていた全能感

The sense of omnipotence that everyone had

子供の頃誰しもが持っていた全能感。それが成長するにつれ薄れていく恐怖に共感しました。あの頃に戻りたい。まだ自分にもあの頃の力があるんじゃないか。そんな夏芽とコウちゃんの葛藤に涙しました。好きなシーンは、モデルの夏芽(とくに広能さんとの仕事)、コウちゃんの火付け祭り、あとは夏芽とコウちゃんが一緒にいる時です。

Everyone had a sense of omnipotence when they were kids. I sympathized with the fear that faded as it grew. I want to go back to those days. I think I still have the strength I had back then. I was brought to tears by the conflict between Natsume and Kou-chan. My favorite scenes are model Natsume (especially working with Hironori), Kou-chan's fire festival, and the rest is when Natsume and Kou-chan are together.

やっと完結。

At last, it's finished.

This review contains spoilers. 第一話からリアルタイムで読んでいたので、当時私は何歳？と思うと、本当に待ちに待った最終巻でした。いろいろあったけれど、こんな風に続いていく二人でよかったなぁと思えるラスト。長かったけど待った甲斐がありました！ジョージ朝倉の描く中学生の真っ直ぐすぎる感じ、大好きです。なので、映画化とか実写化だけは決してしてほしくないです。このキラキラは、特になつめとこうちゃんのキラキラは、漫画だからこそだと思うのです。

This review contains spoilers. I've been reading it in real time since the first episode, so how old was I at the time? When I thought about it, it was the last volume I had really been waiting for. There were a lot of things, but it's the last one where I think I'm glad the two continued like this. It was a long time, but it was worth the wait! I love George Asakura's drawing of a middle school student that's too straight. So I definitely don't want them to just make a movie or a live-action adaptation. I think this glitter, especially Natsume and Kou-chan's Sparkling, is because it's a comic.

子供と大人の境目

The boundary between children and adults

主人公視点より、世界観やキャラに客観的に入り込んで読んでしまいます。思春期の子供と大人の境目で出会う二人の複雑な恋模様です。好き嫌い別れるかもしれないですが、私は好きです。

I read it by objectively entering the worldview and characters from the protagonist's point of view. It's a complicated love pattern between two people who meet at the boundary between an adolescent child and an adult. We may break up our likes and dislikes, but I love it.

絵も文字も詩的で読みやすく、独特の世界観が良いです。大人っぽいようで子供な2人、というのがあの年代をリアルに感じます。まだ全巻読めていませんが、続きが気になります。

The pictures and characters are poetic, easy to read, and have a unique view of the world. The fact that they are two adults and children makes me feel that age realistically. I haven't read the full volume yet, but I'm curious about the continuation.

At first, I liked painting, so I bought it. I was drawn more and more into the fun of what was inside. It was a youth story of Natsume and Kou. Otomo is so cool! I want Natsume and Kou to be really happy while reading! I couldn't help but hope. I was really moved by the last volume!

引き込まれる

I'm drawn in

立ち読みしたら気になって、試しに1巻買ったらそのまま全部買ってしまいました。こんな小中学生いないよなぁと思いつつ、引き込まれる世界観。読み終わってもしばらく頭から離れません。スッキリはしないかな。モヤモヤ葛藤ドキドキ。。。朝倉ジョージさん初めてでしたが好きになりました。

I was curious when I read it standing up, and after buying 1 volume to try it out, I just bought all of them. A view of the world that draws me in while thinking that there are no elementary and middle school students like this. I can't get it out of my head for a while even after I finish reading it. Wouldn't it be refreshing? fuzzy, fuzzy, conflict, excitement... It was my first time with George Asakura, and I fell in love with him.

ヤバイ！

dangerous!

ジョージ朝倉さんの大ファンです♡こんなストーリー考えつくなんて!?ジョージ朝倉さんの世界観は果てしなく切なく、後を引きます！好きって気持ちは単純ではないけど、気持ちの揺らめきは自分で思うほどコントロール出来ない。そんな心情を見事に表現してくれた作品です。辛過ぎるけど、一緒にいないとダメな夏目とこうちゃんのこの先が気になる！

I'm a big fan of George Asakura ♡ I can't think of a story like this!? George Asakura's view of the world is endlessly sad and takes a back seat! The feeling of liking isn't simple, but I can't control the fluctuation of my feelings as much as I think. It is a work that brilliantly expresses such feelings. It's too painful, but I'm worried about the future of Natsume and Kou-chan, who are useless if we're not together!
