いよっ

OK

見る目があるよね、ボス。太っていても痩せていても君はきみさ、みたいなことはキチンといってよね。そういうことこそぐいぐいっとね。

You have an eye for sight, boss. Things like you are fat or thin are called insane, right? That kind of thing is so easy, isn't it?

最後の場面が大好き

I love the last scene

This review contains spoilers. 百瀬なつ先生の作品の中で、私はこの作品が一番好きです。この作品は、ヒーローとヒロインのカップル以外のロマンスも楽しめるのが良いです。ある程度まで読み進めて、アンナの相手がわかると、アンナの言動や行動の意味がわかって、とても面白く感じられるようになりました。ヒーローの気持ちがわかった「最後の場面」が大好きで、最後まで読んでこの作品への印象が良い方向に大きく変わりました。最後まで読んで、また最初から読みたくなった素敵な作品です。

This review contains spoilers. Of all Momose Natsu sensei's works, this one is my favorite. It's good that you can enjoy romances other than the hero and heroine couple in this work. I read it to a certain extent, and once I understood who Anna was dealing with, I understood the meaning of Anna's words and actions, and I began to feel that it was very interesting. I loved “The Last Scene,” where I understood the hero's feelings, and my impression of this work changed drastically for the better after reading it until the end. It's a wonderful work that I read until the end and wanted to read it from the beginning again.

良かったです

That was great

ヒロインをみて人ごとでない感じがしました、やっぱり若かったら痩せて見返したいと思うでしょうね、結構ありがちな内容なのに、最後はヒーローにやられました。感動しました。

When I saw the heroine, I felt like it wasn't human; after all, if you were young, you'd want to lose weight and look back, and even though it's pretty common content, I was beaten by a hero at the end. I'm moved.

ちょっとこれまでにないラスト

A slightly unprecedented last

今まで太ってた女の子が、好きな人に見返してやろうと痩せちゃう物語ですが。とんでもないドンデン返しの素晴らしいラストで、読後感も最高です！悪役も良い感じに活躍してくれて、意地っ張りな二人に花を添えてくれました。オススメです！

It's a story about a girl who has been fat until now and loses weight in an attempt to give it back to someone she likes. It's a wonderful ending with ridiculous twists and turns, and the feeling after reading is great! The villains also played an active role in a good way, and they added flowers to these two mean people. I recommend it!

最後のシーンにノックアウトです。(⸝⸝›_‹⸝⸝)キュンキュンものでした。高望みの恋と思いきや実はヒーローも恋焦がれていたとはうすうすわかっていたとはいえラストが良かった。買って損はないと思います。( ¯꒳¯ )ｂ

There's a knockout in the final scene. (›_‹) It was a blast. The last one was good, even though I had a faint idea that the hero was also impatient in love, even though I thought it was a high level of love. I don't think there's any loss in buying it. () b

The last one is good!

This review contains spoilers. 誰もが憧れる上司に恋するぽっちゃりと容姿の冴えない秘書が、上司への想いを吹っ切ろうと一念発起し、痩せて綺麗になり…と、わりとありがちな内容、それでもそれぞれのライバルの存在など、エピソードもありなかなか魅力的な作品に仕上げハッピーエンドのクライマックスへ。良かったぁと思ったら、あ、その後が垣間見られる好きなパターンだ、と思ったら、えっ？さらにオープニングにつながるエピソードが⁉︎というニクい演出にやられました。それと、百瀬先生は作品ごとに微妙に絵の感じが変わってる面白く上手な先生ですね。

This review contains spoilers. The chubby, dull secretary, who falls in love with her boss that everyone admires, comes to a climax with a happy ending, and has quite common content, such as losing weight and becoming beautiful... and even so, there are episodes, such as the existence of rivals for each. If you think it was good, ah, it's my favorite pattern that you can catch a glimpse of after that, huh? Furthermore, the episode leading up to the opening was made into a funny production called ⁉ ︎. Also, Momose sensei is an interesting and good teacher whose sense of painting changes slightly from work to work.

作者買いで。

Buy the author.

This review contains spoilers. 非情な恋人シリーズの三部作では、藤田和子先生や小越なつえ先生の作品も素晴らしいのですが、「あの朝の別れから」のきれいな絵にハマり、本作品を購入しました。百瀬先生の作品でも比較的評価が高い本作はやっぱり面白かったです。ぽっちゃりヒロインが大変身するところから、エリックやアンナを巻き込みながら物語が進みますが、じれったく感じつつも、ヒーローのケインが要所要所可愛い笑顔コマがあり癒されました。HQではああいう感じで見せるの意外に少ないですが最後のシーンは本作では効果的でよかったと思います。

This review contains spoilers. In the trilogy of the Ruthless Lovers series, works by Kazuko Fujita and Natsue Kogoshi are also wonderful, but I was addicted to the beautiful pictures in “From That Morning's Farewell,” so I bought this work. After all, this work, which has received relatively high praise even among Momose sensei's works, was interesting. From where the chubby heroine has a big transformation, the story progresses while involving Eric and Anna, but even though I felt confused, the hero Kane had cute smiles at key points and was healed. There are surprisingly few people showing that kind of feeling in HQ, but I'm glad that the last scene was effective in this film.

ヒーローの行動が微妙だが少しざまぁもあり

The hero's actions are subtle, but there are also slight variations

This review contains spoilers. 半額購入。クリスマスの出来事をきっかけに、ヒーローへの恋を諦めようと決めたヒロインと、ヒロインへの恋に落ちたヒーローとの恋の攻防戦。絵も相まって基本コミカルに描かれているので、楽しくは読めた。諦めるために痩せて綺麗になろうと考えるヒロインというのが、ちょっと見ないタイプで面白い。読んでいる途中でヒーローがヒロインを好きなのはわかるが、そのきっかけが読者に提示されるのが完全にラストなのが今一つ。ヒロインの中身に惚れたというなら、読者からのヒーローへの印象を上げるよい要素だと思うのに、ラストまで引っ張る必要はあまり感じなかった。ただラストの内容を受けて本編を見直すと、ヒーローの行動が小狡さを増すので、複雑なところではある。仕事のためとはいえ、ヒロインを半年放置。帰ってきてからのアプローチもヒロインを引っ掻き回すばかりで、自分から告白するのでなくヒロインから告白させようとしてるようにしか見えない。更には別れた恋人と二人っきりで食事したり、家に招き入れたり、パーティのパートナーにしたり。ヒーローに未練ありと示している相手とばかり会うのでは、別れたと知らないヒロインが関係継続してると思うのも当たり前で、そんな誤解を招く行動をするヒーローの行動が理解できなかった。ヒーローとヒロインが関係を持ったあと、ヒロインが会社を辞めるが、この後も見張りはつけて、自分自身は何もせずやっぱり放置。エリックの結婚式にヒロインが休日に参加してたら、見張りの人も気づかなかったのでは。その時は更にヒロインを放置してたのかなと思うと、微妙。恥かき告白展開だったから、少し溜飲は下がるが、もっとしっかりして欲しいヒーローだった。あと脇の当て馬とライバルがカップルになるのは、彼の方は前振りがあるのでまだよかったねと思えるが、彼女の方に前振り描写が何もなかったのが微妙だった。ヒロインに意地悪ばかりしていて、内面的な魅力は描かれてないし、ヒーローからの評価もセクシーで美人という本当に見た目だけな微妙なライバルが幸せになるのを見せられてもな。原作だとこのライバルにも、もうちょっといいところはあるのだろうか。

This review contains spoilers. Half price purchase. A love battle between the heroine, who decided to give up her love for the hero in the wake of the Christmas incident, and the hero who fell in love with the heroine. Coupled with the pictures, it was basically comical, so I enjoyed reading it. The heroine who thinks about losing weight and becoming beautiful in order to give up is interesting because she's the type that doesn't watch. While I'm reading, I understand that the hero likes the heroine, but now is the last time the trigger for that is completely presented to readers. If I fell in love with the heroine's content, I think it's a good element to raise the reader's impression of the hero, but I didn't really feel the need to pull it until the end. However, when the main story is reviewed in response to the last content, the hero's actions increase their cunning, so it's complicated. Even though it was for work, the heroine was left alone for half a year. The approach after coming back was just scratching the heroine around, and it only seemed like they were trying to make the heroine confess instead of confessing it themselves. Furthermore, they ate alone with their lover they broke up with, invited them to the house, and used them as party partners. If you only meet people who show that they have regrets about the hero, it is natural to think that the heroine you didn't know they had broken up with is continuing their relationship, and I couldn't understand the actions of the hero who acted in such a misleading manner. After the hero and heroine have a relationship, the heroine quits the company, but even after this, she keeps watch and leaves herself alone without doing anything. If the heroine was attending Eric's wedding on a holiday, no one on the lookout would have noticed. It's subtle to think that the heroine was left even more unattended at that time. It was a shameful confession development, so his drinking drops a bit, but he was a hero I wanted them to be more solid. Also, when the sidekick and rival became a couple, I think it was still good because he had forward moves, but it was subtle that there were no forward movements depicted on her side. The heroine is only mean, no inner appeal is depicted, and evaluations from heroes are shown to make a subtle rival who is only sexy and beautiful, making happy. If it's the original story, I wonder if this rival has something a little better.

That was great!

初めから全て繋がってた読後感が最高でした。結局みんな良い人ばかりで。ただヒーローがヒロイン辞めてからの期間や女の人とデート？してたりは少し納得出来ず。

Everything was connected from the beginning, and the feeling after reading was amazing. At the end of the day, they're all good people. It's just the period since the hero quit being the heroine or dating a woman? I'm a little unconvinced when I'm doing it.

ラストが

The last

This review contains spoilers. 微笑ましい夢物語。匂わせる演出はあったけれどもヒーローのあれを最後の最後に見せるか～。もう少し前に見れたらドキドキ感やジリジリ感も増してよかったのにな～。出張とは言え、半年間の放置期間は長いのでは？ヒロインに教えるのも遅っ、子供ができてからって。エリックもイイ男だったね。さらっと楽しく読めました。ちょっと甘め☆評価かな。

This review contains spoilers. A smiling dream story. There was a production that made me smell, but I wonder if I'll show that hero's one at the very end. It would have been nice if I had watched it a little while ago, the feeling of excitement and jinginess would have increased. Even though it's a business trip, isn't the half-year idle period a long time? It was too late to teach the heroine, after they had children. Eric was a nice guy too. It was a quick and fun read. Maybe it's a bit sweet ☆ evaluation.

ヒーローがプレイボーイ設定の割には受け身。惚れた女ならグイグイ行きなよ。落とし方が回りくどくて、転職後数ヶ月放置って…。イベント起きなきゃ動けないなんて受け身過ぎでしょー。

The hero is passive in spite of the Playboy setting. If it's the woman you're in love with, go for it. The way I dropped it was so hectic that I left it alone for a few months after changing jobs... it's too passive to be able to move until an event happens, isn't it?

面白いストーリーの中に騙されきれない

You can't be fooled by an interesting story

痩せたから、ではなく、というのがとってもいいし、生まれ変わりたいと思ってダイエットに成功するヒロイン、ナタリーの実行力も素晴らしい。片想いの心情も言葉面ではとてもよく表されていた。「どうしてエリックじゃダメなの？」「どうしてケインじゃなきゃダメなの？」、恋の切なさ、片想いの辛さに私の胸も同調する。この苦しいところが、ヒロインの各シーンの動きに説得力を与えるので、最も作品を象徴する場面であって欲しい。勿論、エリックの感情の出ているシーンも印象的なので、それはよいのだけれど、この作品の主人公はナタリーだから。アンナも、一種の片想いメンバーの１人。けれど悪役だから、彼女のやり方には悪い見本としての役目を負わされている。ここまでは役者皆がキッチリ。しかし店とか室内とかそれをカバーするキチンとした背景絵はあるのだが、私は盛り上がれなかった。私は二人の感情描写シーンの絵にどこか覚めていた。ケインの視線、ヒロインの心情説明はあったのに、いつまでも共に友達を手離せない印象を相手に与えて平然。エリックが昔の恋人を今も忘れていない顔の絵はとても印象づけられたのに。彼こそ主役か？、というほどにエリックの表情の方が私の目には印象的だった。あとは、エリックには含みを持たせた役回りとして動かしているのに、アンナの方はトリッキーに使っている、というのが少し気に障る。だから、彼女の役回り転換は、作者の都合に見えてくる。アンナのドラマではないこのストーリーには、転換の事情が追いやられ後づけに説明され、読み手はいいように丸め込まれた感一杯なのだ。エリックの言動には小出しの伏線提示あるのに、アンナの言動は後半のひっくり返しのために引っ張ってむしろ読者を煙に巻く作り。後だしジャンケンのように展開を押し付けられると、もやっと来る。それは物語テクニックと言えばそれまでだが、クライマックスの恥ずかしい「待った」と、それ迄のメイン二人の感情のあり方や時間の使い方、「友達」との関係とがバランス悪い。実は、と終盤でまとめて説明されても、だったらなぜ行動が中途半端？、というわだかまりも燻る。いいように敵役が利用されている。最後に彼に言わせるヒロインに対する思いも、なんだそうだったの、なんて、気持ちよく裏切られないのだ。再就職先の雇用主のあれこれも都合良すぎて、良かったとなかなか素直になれない。

The fact that it's not because she lost weight is great, and the execution ability of Natalie, the heroine who succeeds in dieting because she wants to be reborn, is also amazing. The feeling of unrequited love was also expressed very well in words. “Why can't Eric do it?” “Why does it have to be Kane?” My heart is in tune with the sadness of love and the pain of unrequited love. This painful aspect gives persuasive power to the heroine's movements in each scene, so I want it to be the scene that most symbolizes the work. Of course, the scenes showing Eric's emotions are also impressive, so that's fine, but that's because the main character in this film is Natalie. Anna is also one of the members who have a kind of unrequited love. However, since she is a villain, she is given the role of a bad example for her methods. Up to this point, all the actors have worked perfectly. However, there are sharp background pictures covering the store, interior, etc., but I wasn't excited. Somehow I was awake to a picture of a scene depicting the two of them. There was an explanation of Kane's gaze and the heroine's feelings, but it gave the other person the impression that they couldn't let go of their friends together forever, and it was fine. I was very impressed by the picture of Eric's face, who hasn't forgotten his old lover even now. Is he the main actor? To that extent, Eric's expression was more impressive to my eyes. Also, it's a bit annoying that even though Eric is running it as an implicit role, Anna uses it trickily. So, the change in her role seems convenient for the author. In this story, which is not Anna's drama, the circumstances of the transformation were driven back and explained later, and the reader is full of the feeling that it was rounded up in a good way. Even though Eric's words and actions are presumptuous, Anna's words and actions pull to turn the second half upside down and rather engulf the reader in smoke. Later, when they are forced to unfold like Junken, they finally come. Speaking of story techniques, that is up to that point, but there is a bad balance between the embarrassing “wait” of the climax, the way the main two main people feel and how they use their time until then, and their relationship with their “friends.” Actually, even if they are explained all at the end, then why are they acting half-heartedly? Wadakamari also smokes. Adversaries are being used as a good idea. At the end, I couldn't feel betrayed by the feeling I had for the heroine that I had him talk about. This and that of the employers I was re-employed at was too convenient, and it's hard to be honest when it was good.
