dnf: sexual assault

This review contains spoilers. i got to about chapter 10 and there was all of a sudden sexual assault that nobody did anything about. also, i had a really hard time empathizing with the main character... just can't do it.

中学時代の思いが強い人にはオススメ

Recommended for people with strong feelings from middle school

この作品は最初見た時は途中で胸糞悪くて読むのやめたけど全部読んだらめちゃくちゃ押見修造ワールドやないか〜〜い！！！！！！私も同窓会で会えたらいいなとか妄想を膨らましてた時期がありました。あん時こーしておけばあーなってた！とか。それが実現したような話‥‥押見修造作品を一通り読んでからは一気読みです！かなり内容はキツイですが押見修造の漫画が好きなら読んだ方がいいです。中学時代の甘酸っぱい思い出、それが全部表現される。現実逃避。あの子の事は忘れない。そんな思いが強い人で妻子持ちの方はオススメの漫画ですね！まあ妻には勧められませんが‥‥

When I first saw this work, I was so sick of my heart and stopped reading it, but after reading all of them, it was an insanely good Oshimi Shuzo World!!!!! There was a time when I was also delusional that it would be nice if we met at the class reunion. If I had done this at that time, it would have been great! or something. It's a story where that seems to have come true... after reading all of Shuzo Oshimi's works, I read them all at once! The content is pretty tough, but if you like comics by Shuzo Oshimi, you should read them. The sweet and sour memories of middle school are all expressed. An escape from reality. I won't forget that kid. If you have such strong feelings and have children, I recommend this comic! Well, I can't recommend it to my wife, but...

胸がぎゅーと締め付けられる

My chest tightens tightly

This review contains spoilers. 優柔不断で情けない主人公に最後まで感情移入してしまった。不可解で恐ろしい出来事が夢なのか現実なのか夢なら覚めてほしい、でも夢が覚めたら思い焦がれていた女性もいなくなるかもしれないラストが近づくにつれて読んでるこちらまで胸が締め付けられる思いでした。

This review contains spoilers. I empathized with the indecisive and pathetic protagonist until the end. Whether the inexplicable and frightening event is a dream or reality, I want you to wake up if it's a dream, but if the dream wakes up, there may be no impatient women, there may be no more impatient women, and it felt like my heart tightened up to this point as I read it closer.

刺激的！

Exciting!

押見先生の得意なドロドロにSFも足して表現もきつめな作品に仕上がってて非常に満足！エログロなサバイバルホラーが好きならぜひ！

I am very satisfied with the addition of science fiction to the muddy mud that Professor Oshimi is good at, and the result is a work with a tough expression! If you like erotic survival horror, don't miss it!

好き嫌いがわかれる。

Likes and dislikes can be divided.

主人公と同じように、拗らせたあることがある人なら共感できると思う。前半のサバイバルからまさかこんな展開？でしたが、面白かったです。もう1回読みます。

Like the main character, I think people who have been relentless can sympathize with it. how did it unfold since survival in the first half? But it was interesting. I'll read it one more time.

良かったです

That was great

This review contains spoilers. 低評価多いようですが、私は好きな作品です。終わり方も納得できましたし、読後感が良かったです。主人公よりも巻き込まれた方々（の中でも好感度の高い方、理不尽に酷い目にあった方）がラストで幸せになれている描写にホッとしました。ただ他の方も言われていますが、性暴力を含む暴力描写は生々しいので、フィクションでもそういうのが許せない、見たくない方にはお勧めできません。

This review contains spoilers. There seem to be a lot of low reviews, but it's a work I like. I was also convinced of how it ended, and it felt good after reading it. I was relieved by the depiction that the people involved rather than the main character (those with a high likability, those who had unreasonably bad feelings) were happy at the end. However, other people have mentioned it, but depictions of violence, including sexual violence, are vivid, so I don't recommend it to those who can't forgive or don't want to watch such things even in fiction.

まさに自分のことだ

Exactly about myself

最初は単なるSFものかー、と思って読み始めたけど、気づいたら一気に読み切ってしまいました。最近よくある転生ものを期待したら間違いなく悪い意味で裏切られるのでオススメしません。むしろそれこそ結婚や子供が出来たときに多くの男たちが抱える心理そのもの。なんか自分もこの作品のおかげで色々と吹っ切れた気がしました。

At first, I started reading it because I thought it was just science fiction, but when I realized it, I read it all at once. If you expect reincarnations that are common these days, you'll definitely be betrayed in a bad sense, so I don't recommend it. Rather, it is the very mentality that many men have when they get married or have children. Somehow I felt like I was able to blow through a lot of things thanks to this work.

普通に面白いですけど？

It's usually interesting, isn't it?

性暴力シーンは確かに多めで、ちょっとキツイと感じる時もありましたが、最終的に必要な伏線だっだと分かります。それよりイッキ読みしてしまうストーリーの流れやスピード感はすごく面白かったです！主人公の学生時代への執着というか、憧憬の念が共感できました。

There were certainly a lot of sexual violence scenes, and there were times when I felt that it was a bit tough, but in the end, I understand that it was a necessary foreshadowing. More than that, the flow of the story and the sense of speed that made me read it so clearly was really interesting! I was able to sympathize with the protagonist's obsession with his school days, or rather his sense of admiration.

面白いですけどね？！

It's interesting, isn't it?!

面白かったです。夢落ちではないです。ほんとこの作者は世界観がある。飽きません。みんなのその後もよかった。後のレビューを見てると漂流教室と比べてる方が多いですが内容的にも別物でしょ。ズレてると思います。エログロが嫌なら見ないでほしい。自分はそこまでグロいとは思いませんでした。人間の黒いドロドロとしたところを描ける漫画ってそんなにないと思う。この人の漫画はそんなんばっかだけど、そこが面白いし好きですね。

That was interesting. It's not a dream come true. This author really has a worldview. I never get tired of it. Good for everyone after that too. If you look at later reviews, there are many people who compare it to a rafting class, but it's different in terms of content, isn't it? I think it's out of place. If you don't like erotic music, don't watch it. I didn't think I was that gross. I don't think there are many comics that can depict people's dark, muddy places. This person's comics are just like that, but that's interesting and I like them.

共感できる。

I can sympathize with you.

自分も中学が人生のピークだったような気がします。そのせいで大人になった今でもよく昔を思い出します。共感できるポイントが多くて私の中で特別な存在となった作品です。すいません、なんて言ったらいいのか…。共感できて嬉しいはずなのに、でも胸の中がポッカリ空いたような気分です。

I also feel like middle school was the peak of my life. Because of that, even now that I'm an adult, I often remember the old days. There are so many points I can relate to, and it is a work that has become a special presence for me. Excuse me, what should I say... I must be happy to be able to sympathize with you, but it feels like the inside of my heart is empty.

面白い

interesting

評価が低い理由がいまいちわかりませんが、自分は面白かったです。極限状態に置かれた人間達のあれこれが垣間見えて眼福でした。エロスもありますが、主にシチュエーション的なもので、生々しいほどではありません。物語を楽しむなら、これくらいのほうがちょうどいいと思います。

I don't really understand why the ratings are low, but I was amused. It was a blessing to catch a glimpse of humans placed in extreme conditions. There's also Eros, but it's mostly about situations, and not so graphic. If you enjoy the story, I think this is just right.

誰にでもある青春の後悔

Regrets of youth that everyone has

This review contains spoilers. あの時こうしていれば、あの時こうしていなければ、それは人間みんなが思うことだと思います。学業、恋愛、仕事、人生のあらゆるカテゴリーにおいて。過去をいつまでも引きずってはいけないと思いつつ、みんなどこかでそういう気持ちを捨てきれないことって沢山あると思います。これまでに出逢った色々な人の顔を思い出しながら、とても胸が痛くなりました…。

This review contains spoilers. If it was like this at that time, and if it wasn't like this at that time, I think that's what all humans think. In every category of studies, love, work, and life. While thinking that the past should not be dragged on indefinitely, I think there are many things where everyone can't let go of that feeling somewhere. My heart aches so much while remembering the faces of so many people I've met so far...

ちょうどいいリアル感

Just the right sense of realism

表現や演出がちょうどいい気持ち悪さと不快感と、切なさもあって何回か読み返してる作品です。面白いです。

It is a work that I have reread several times because of the disgust, discomfort, and sadness that are just right for the expression and direction. It's interesting.

嫌いじゃない

I don't hate it

This review contains spoilers. 賛否両論あるこの作品。久しぶり読みましたが私は結構好きです最後にはきちんと現実を生きていく耕一が少し吹っ切れたように見えましたネットカフェを訪れるシーンもなんだか味がありました個人的には蛭田とミクがくっついて良かったです笑

This review contains spoilers. There are pros and cons to this work. I haven't read it in a long time, but I like it quite a bit. At the end, it seemed like Koichi, who is properly living in reality, was blown away a bit. The scene visiting an internet cafe also had some flavor. Personally, I'm glad Hiruta and Miku stick together lol

この作者さんの心理描写はすごい

This author's psychological depiction is amazing

ムッツリの心理描写をさせたら天下一品だと思うのが、この作者さん。どの作品も、かなり賛否わかれてますが、個人的には好きな漫画家さんの1人です。人間の下衆なところ、エゴなどを描いたミステリーです。最後の方は、いささか駆け足な感がありますが、個人的には最後まで一気読みできる作品でした。

If I were to depict the psychology of mutsuri, I think this author would be one of the best in the world. There are quite a few pros and cons to every work, but personally, I'm one of my favorite manga artists. It's a mystery depicting human subordinates, egos, etc. The last one has a slight sense of urgency, but personally, it was a work I could read all at once until the end.

テンポよく読めました(長文です)

I was able to read the tempo well (it's a long sentence)

This review contains spoilers. １巻を読み終えた段階ではそこまで引き込まれなかったですが、だんだんと読み進めていくと続きが気になり一晩で一気に読み終えました。テンポよく展開&セリフなども少ないのであっという間に読めてしまいます。私は極限状態やサバイバル状態になると人間は黒い部分がむき出しになるものだと思うし、エログロは回避できないだろうと想像できるので、非常にリアリティーがあると感じました。ウォーキングデッドとか好きな人はこの作品に合うだろうと思います。極限状態だからこそ、もとの世界へ帰る術がないからこそ、自暴自棄になり性欲や暴力が蔓延るのであって、むしろそれが動物としての本能や本来の人間の姿ではないでしょうか。結局すべては主人公の妄想がパラレルワールドと繋がったという、主人公にとって都合の良い世界だったわけですが、その設定がこの手の作品をうまくまとめる唯一の方法だと思うので、納得しています。初恋をこじらせてる人間にとって、初恋の人は幻想でしかないので、遠野とは再会していないというオチで正解だと思いました。あの異世界での遠野は、あまりにも凛としており、現実離れした冷静さや気高さがあったので、そこも妄想がなせる技でしょう。他のメンバーたちも記憶を持って現実世界へ帰った、という部分もリアルだと思います。「自分を殺した相手と仕事できるか？」という違和感を持たれる方もいますが、私は逆にそこが違和感なかったです。ある意味、あんな境遇に陥ることで、現実世界ではわからなかった相手(友人や仕事仲間)の本心に気付けた、ということで‘打ち解ける’‘仲良くなる’とまではいかないにしても嫌がらせしたりされたりという関係はなくなったんではないかなと思います。少なくとも誰もが(寺沢以外)「現実世界で起こったことじゃなくてよかった～」と安堵し、もともとは不満がたくさんあった現実での自分の置かれた状況に幸せを噛みしめているのでは。ちなみに一番成長したのは、主人公より亀田じゃないかな。クズから頼りになる男に成長してかっこよかったです。幸せになってほしい。

This review contains spoilers. I wasn't drawn in that far when I finished reading volume 1, but as I read on, I was worried about the continuation, and I finished reading it all at once overnight. The tempo is good and there are few lines, etc., so I can read it in no time. I think that when it comes to extreme states or survival, humans expose their black parts, and I can imagine that erotic glo cannot be avoided, so I felt that it was very realistic. I think people who like The Walking Dead would suit this work. Because it is in an extreme state, and because there is no way to return to the original world, it is desperate and sexual desire and violence spread, and rather, it is probably an instinct as an animal or the original form of a human being. In the end, everything was a convenient world for the main character, where the main character's delusions were connected to a parallel world, but I think that setting is the only way to successfully put together this kind of work, so I'm convinced. For people who are struggling with their first love, the first love person is nothing but an illusion, so I thought the punch line that they haven't been reunited with Tono was the correct answer. Tono in that other world was so dignified, and he had a sense of calm and nobility that was far from reality, so that is probably a delusional technique. I think the part where the other members also went back to the real world with their memories is real. “Can I work with someone who killed me?” There are also people who have this sense of incongruity, but on the contrary, I didn't feel uncomfortable about that. In a sense, by falling into such a situation, I think the relationship of being harassed even if not to 'get along' because they realized the true intentions of someone (friend or work colleague) they didn't understand in the real world. At least everyone (except Terasawa) is relieved, “I'm glad it didn't happen in the real world,” and I think they are chewing on their happiness in the situation they were in in reality, where there was originally a lot of dissatisfaction. Incidentally, I think Kameda has grown the most over the main character. It was cool that he grew from a scum to a man I could rely on. I want them to be happy.

イッキ読みなら有り

If you read it clearly, there is

内容は他作品と類似してるというレビューもあるが、類似作品を知らない人や、グロテスクな表現、人間の野生的な面を気にしないで読める方なら、引き込まれる内容だと思う。絵が上手い下手はそれぞれだが自分は気にならなかった。

There are reviews that the content is similar to other works, but if you don't know similar works, or if you can read it without worrying about grotesque expressions or the wild side of humans, I think the content will be drawn in. Each person is good at painting and bad at painting, but I didn't care.
