3つのオムニバス/うち2つは…

3 omnibuss/ 2 of them...

This review contains spoilers. なかなかガツンとくるオムニバスで、切なくて美しい。「蛙の王子様」はDKのお話で、苦しみからの解放があって、未来がある。顔が綺麗が呪いとなる。顔しか見られない。自分の顔に興味のない隣の席の昆虫オタク、一緒に巡る博物館。居心地のよさを始めて知る。確かにね…芸能人のように見られる仕事ではないし、中身を知らずに好まれる、中身を知ろうともしない周囲にいることは辛いだろうな。彼を知ってよかったね。「ふたりぼっちのエバーアフター」は、繰り返す呪いが絶たれるとき、2人はどう生きたのだろう。でも、もう残して死することはないのだろうな。ハッピーなはずだけど、メリバに見えるのは、未来が見えないからかな。表題作、「果ての荒野でバカンスを」は、驚きの展開。いつまで2人で生きていけるのだろうか。人間の寿命がきたとき、どうなるだろうか。どれも2人だけの世界。2人だけで生きていくことの喜びと切なさが少し痛みを感じさせる。現代版、御伽噺のような世界観。「屍と花嫁」を読んだときも、独特な世界観に惹かれたな。エチ描写がないわけではない。

This review contains spoilers. It's an omnibus that really pulls in, and it's so sad and beautiful. “The Frog Prince” is a DK story, and there is freedom from suffering, and there is a future. Having a pretty face is a curse. I can only see faces. An insect nerd sitting next to you, who isn't interested in his own face, can visit this museum together. Get to know comfort for the first time. Certainly... it's not a job where you look like an entertainer, and it would be difficult to be around people who don't know what's inside, and who don't even know what's inside. Good to know him. How did the two live in “Alone for the Two” when the repeated curse came to an end. But I don't think they'll leave any more behind and die. They should be happy, but the reason they look like Meriba is probably because they can't see the future. The title work, “Vacation at the End of the Wilderness,” is a surprising development. How long will the two of them be able to live together? What will happen when humans reach the end of their lives? They are all worlds only for 2 people. The joy and sorrow of living alone with just two makes me feel a little bit of pain. A modern version, a fairytale-like worldview. Even when I read “The Corpse and the Bride,” I was drawn to the unique view of the world. It's not that there aren't any depictions of ethi.

3作品収録の1冊

1 book containing 3 works

どれも個性的なファンタジーで面白かった。台詞は多くないが一気に世界観に引き込む独特なセンス、短いながらにしっかり構築されたストーリーだと思った。表題の果ての荒野が一番好き。静かで切ないSFBL。

All of them were unique fantasies and interesting. There aren't many lines, but I thought it was a short yet well-structured story with a unique sense of drawing you into the worldview all at once. I like the title The Wilderness at the End of the Title the best. Quiet and sad SFBL.

心に刺さる物語

A story that sticks to the heart

This review contains spoilers. SF好きでこちらの作品を読みました。どの短篇集も上手くまとまられていて、とても満足できる内容でした。その中でもやはり標題作が一番心に響きました。映画を見ているようで、何十年後かに永遠に取り残されるキューブの孤独を考えると、この仮初のハッピーエンドが本当に良かったのかと感じる、心に刺さる物語でした。

This review contains spoilers. I read this book because I like science fiction. Every collection of short stories was well organized, and I was very satisfied with the content. Among them, the title work touched my heart the most. It was a story that stuck in my heart, as if I were watching a movie, and considering the loneliness of Cube, which would be left behind forever decades from now, I felt that this hypothetical first happy ending was really good.

どの作品も素晴らしい！

Every piece is amazing!

３作品収録。どれも６０P程度で長くはないけど、しっかりまとまっていて心に響く。短い中ですごい満足感です。それぞれの作品間のつながりはないので、どこから読んでもいいしどれを読んでもすごく良い！読むたびに毎回ウルウルしてしまうけど、切ない中にも深い愛情を感じられます。

Includes 3 works. All of them are around 60P and not long, but they are well organized and resonate with my heart. It's so satisfying even though it's short. There's no connection between each work, so you can read it from anywhere, and it's great no matter which one you read! It makes me cringe every time I read it, but even in the midst of sadness, I can feel a deep sense of love.

短編集の満足度じゃないよ！

I'm not satisfied with short stories!

This review contains spoilers. 知人におすすめされてから積読してたこちらの作品、マジで良すぎるんですけど……？？？？短編集の満足感じゃないよこれ長編読んだくらいの良さが、食らった感があります。短編って「あーもうちょっと読みたい！」となることが多いんですけど、こちらに収録されてる作品たちの一話における起承転結と登場人物の感情たちが上手いことまとまりまくってて、こんな、うわーーーーんほんとによかった！幸せな気持ちになりたいなら「蛙の王子様」、切なさに涙したいなら表題作の「果ての荒野でバカンスを」、と振り幅があるのも素晴らしい。「果ての荒野でバカンス」はあまりにも切なくて、こんな、こんなこと……！と涙ぐみました。悲しくて、切なくて、でも愛情のあたたかさは確かにあって、う、うう、このやるせなさ、たまらないですね……！！やるせない物語が好きな方は絶対好きなはず……！！！しかし寂しすぎるのでもう一度「蛙の王子様」を読んでハピハピになり、ちょっと人外えっち成分を得たくて「ふたりぼっちのエバーアフター」を読むという……一冊の満足感がすごい！！長編を読む体力はないけど胸がぎゅっとなる作品を読みたい！という方にはぴったりですし、往年のJUNE好きというかSF好きな方にはもちろんおすすめできます！新年初泣きでした。ありがとうございます。

This review contains spoilers. This work, which I've been reading since it was recommended by an acquaintance, is seriously too good...??? I'm not satisfied with the short story, it's as good as reading a long story, but I have a feeling that I was taken aback. A short story is “Oh, I want to read a little more!” There are a lot of cases like that, but I'm really glad that the origins and transitions in one episode of the works recorded here and the characters' emotions are so well put together! The amplitude of “The Frog Prince” is also wonderful if you want to feel happy, and “Vacation at the End of the Wilderness” if you want to cry in sorrow. “Vacation at the End of the Wilderness” was so sad, this...! I burst into tears. It's sad, sad, but the warmth of love is certainly there, wow, this frustration is unbearable...!! If you like unbearable stories, you'll definitely like it...!!! However, I was so lonely that I read “The Frog Prince” again, became happy, and read “Futaribocchi's Ever After” because I wanted to get a little strange ingredient... the satisfaction of one book is amazing!! I don't have the physical strength to read a long story, but I want to read a work that makes my heart feel tight! It's perfect for those who say that, and of course I can recommend it to anyone who likes JUNE of yesteryear, or rather sci-fi! I cried for the first time in the new year. Thank you very much.

読み応えあり

It's a good read

3作品。短編集は苦手でしたがどの作品も素晴らしかったです。1作目の童話のようなお話で「これが表題作でもいいのでは」と思うくらいでした。3作品とも切ないお話です。でもグッとくるハピエン（？）だと私は思いますが、メリバとも受け取る方はいると思うので面白い作品でもあると思います。内容が濃く読みごたえありの作品ばかりです。

3 works. I wasn't good at short editing, but every one of my works was amazing. It was a story like the first children's story, and I thought, “I wonder if this could be the title work.” All 3 works are sad stories. But happy (?) I think so, but I think there are people who also receive Meriba, so I think it's also an interesting work. All of the works have strong content and are worth reading.

美しく深い愛のファンタジー

A beautiful and deep fantasy of love

This review contains spoilers. 3つのお話が収録されています。全て、愛の本質を描いた素晴らしい物語でした。よくぞこれほど深い愛の真理をついたストーリーを短編にお纏めなさった。ネタバレ無しでまず読むことをお勧め。私もそれで心底堪能致しました。巻頭の「ふたりぼっちのエバーアフター」は、途中「あれ？」「ん？」と小さな違和感が散りばめられていたものが最後にガッと伏線回収され、その伏線全てが愛でつながっておりあまりに感動してもう一度戻って読み直しました。「蛙の王子様」は、設定こそ珍しくはないものの、切実で嘘の無い、人間らしいけどとても美しいお話。着ぐるみ姿の主人公が可愛くてたまりませんでした。表題作は更に輪をかけて衝撃的でした。設定は良いんです。結末も、予想できる人もいるでしょう。でも、なんていうか、最後に何とも言えない、不思議な感覚になります。目の前に確かにいるルキヤという存在をどう定義づければいいのか。三年間一緒に居た。地球との通信とは別物という認識をしていたけれど、確かに心の支えだった。むしろその事実があるからこそ、この先もシンは絶望せずここで生き続けられるんだと思う。けれどずっと想っていたルキヤではない。でも「魂だけでは不足かい」とルキヤが聞いた、そのセリフにあるように、魂はルキヤ。でも物理的には魂ですらないはずで、これからの2人が紡ぐ時間は、ルキヤ本人の幸せな記憶とは成り得ないはず。ルキヤも幸せになって欲しかった。このあたりがとても混乱というか、独りで勝手に葛藤してしまった。それでもシンに心の支えが残されたことを本当に有難く思ったし、これからずっと2人きりのバカンスを謳歌して欲しいと思った。このあたりの読者の複雑な気持ちをまるで予想していたかのように、「エンドロール」を描いて下さって、少し救って頂けました。とにかく上手く説明出来ない。レビューを書きながら整理していたら、こみ上げて泣けてきた。本当に、このページ数でここまで感動させる左岸先生とは一体何者ですか。短編なのに、全ての登場人物にどっぷり感情移入しちゃったし。今回はじめましての作者様でしたが、圧倒されました。そして描き下ろしのなんとキュートなこと。他の作品も本気で漁ります！！ネタバレしないように書き始めたはずだったけど、やっぱりネタバレになっちゃった。内容に触れずに感想書くの無理…！

This review contains spoilers. Three stories have been recorded. All of them were wonderful stories depicting the nature of love. I'm glad you've put together a short story about such a deep truth of love. I recommend reading it first without spoilers. I really enjoyed it too. The opening “Futaribocchi Ever After” is “Huh?” on the way “huh?” The one, which had a small sense of incongruity, was quickly collected at the end, and all of those foreshadowing were connected by love, and I was so moved that I went back and reread it again. “The Prince of Frogs” is a human-like yet very beautiful story that is desperate and has no lies, although the setting is not unusual. The main character in a costume was so cute that it was irresistible. The title work went even further and was shocking. The settings are good. There are probably people who can predict the ending. But at the end, it's an indescribable, strange feeling. How should we define the existence of Rukiya who is certainly right in front of us? We've been together for three years. I was aware that communication with the Earth was something different, but it certainly supported my heart. Rather, I think it is precisely because of that fact that Shin will be able to continue living here without despairing in the future. But it's not the Rukiya I've always wanted. But as Rukiya said, “Is the soul alone not enough,” the soul is Rukiya. But physically, it shouldn't even be a soul, and the time the two will spin from now on cannot be a happy memory of Rukiya herself. I wanted Lukiya to be happy too. This area was very confusing, or rather, I had a conflict on my own. Nevertheless, I was really thankful that Shin was left with emotional support, and I wanted them to enjoy their vacation alone from now on. As if I had anticipated the complicated feelings of readers around here, they drew “Endroll,” and I was able to save them a little bit. Anyway, I can't explain it well. When I was organizing while writing reviews, I started crying and crying. Really, who is Sakishi-sensei who is so moved by the number of pages? Even though it was a short film, I really empathized with all the characters. This time it was nice to meet the author, but I was overwhelmed. And what a cute thing he drew. I'm seriously looking for other works too!! I should have started writing without spoilers, but I ended up with spoilers. It's impossible to write an impression without touching on the content...!

切ないけど

It's sad but

This review contains spoilers. どの作品も少し死の匂いがして儚く、それでもバッドエンドではなくて、キャラクターたちにとってのそれぞれのハッピーエンド。すごく切なくて胸がギュッとなるけど、どれも素敵な作品でした。1作品目が好き！マグノリア！

This review contains spoilers. Every work has a slight smell of death and is ephemeral, and even so, it's not a bad ending; it's a happy ending for each character. It's really sad and makes my heart feel tight, but all of them were wonderful works. I like the first one! magnolia!

胸がぎゅっと

My chest is tight

短編3話。どういう気持ちで読めばいいか分からないくらい胸が締め付けられるストーリー。絵と雰囲気が好きだし、ストーリー重視なのでエロ要素皆無で良いくらい。どのお話も切ないけど本当に素敵な短編集です。

3 short stories. It's such a heart-wrenching story that I don't know how to read it. I like the picture and atmosphere, and since the focus is on the story, it's fine that there are no erotic elements at all. Every story is sad, but it's a really nice short story.

せつなさに果てしないポツンと感を味わう

Enjoy an endless sense of emptiness

表題作ほか2編。1つめと3つめのお話しは子供のころに夢中で読んたSFファンタジーの世界を思い出します。人外や異空間であること故のせつなさに想いを馳せることで自分もそのひろーい空間の片隅に存在しているような、果てのないポツンと感を味わう。。BLでこういった作風読めるのいいですね2つめのお話しは美しすぎるお顔のDKのお話しこれも良かったです。3作ともエロはなし、もしくは雰囲気のみです～

The title work and 2 others. The first and third stories remind me of the sci-fi fantasy world I was crazy about reading when I was a kid. By thinking about the outside world and the busyness due to being in a different space, I also enjoy the endless feeling of being in a corner of that spacious space.. It's nice to be able to read this style in BL, isn't it? The second story is about DK, who has a face that is too beautiful, which was also nice. There is no eroticism in all 3 films, or only the atmosphere ~

短編とは思えない

I don't think it's a short story

3つの作品の短編集です。が、どれもしっかり作り込まれた物語で、短編とは思えない。特にタイトルになっている3つ目の作品は、読むと帯のコピーの解釈が変わりました。そっちだったか…！1つ目もファンタジーで、これまた独特の世界観にぐっと引き込まれました。2つ目は雰囲気変わってDKのお話。可愛らしいお話で、他2作品の箸休め的に読めて良かったです。ラブラブハッピーではないですが、じっくり物語を味わいたい方、オススメです。

This is a short compilation of 3 works. All of these are well-crafted stories, and I don't think they're short stories. In particular, the interpretation of the copy of the obi changed when I read the third work, which is the title. that was it...! The first one was fantasy, and I was also drawn a lot into this unique worldview. The second one is a story about DK that changed the atmosphere. It's a cute story, and I'm glad I was able to read the other 2 works in a relaxed manner. I recommend it to those who aren't Love-Love-Love-Happy, but want to thoroughly enjoy the story.

この作品を忘れることはない。

I will never forget this work.

This review contains spoilers. SF的表題作含む3作品で、どれも秀作です。表題作は、どうにも切ない気持ちに心を占められます。この作品を、私は忘れることはないと思います。シンが地球外の星へ独りで赴任する前、ルキアとシンは想い合うも特別な関係はなかった…おそらく互いに、将来帰還した時までそうなることを先延ばしにした、ただそれだけだろう。でもそれが…。最期の刻、生身のルキアは何を見、何を想いながら逝ったのだろう。「あいつの裸なんて見たことない」… シンは生身のルキアを知ることなく、最期のルキアの魂と、自らが作り出したルキア型生体ロボットと共に生きていく。帰る場所もない。異境の地で、たった独りで、老いていくのだろう。読了後も、心から笑える日はもうこないという結末に、今日この刻は二度と無いこと、そして、愛する人に愛されていることの奇跡を思う。

This review contains spoilers. There are 3 works, including sci-fi titles, and they are all excellent works. The title work fills my mind with an indescribable sense of sadness. I don't think I'll forget this work. Before Shin was assigned to an extraterrestrial star alone, Rukia and Singh had feelings but had no special relationship... they probably both put off doing so until they returned in the future, that's all. but that's... At the end of her life, what did Rukia see and what did she think when she passed away? “I've never seen him naked”... Without knowing the living Rukia, Shin lives with the soul of Rukia at the end of his life and a Rukia type biological robot he created himself. There's nowhere to go back. It's probably going to grow old alone in a foreign land. Even after reading it, the day when I can laugh from the bottom of my heart won't come anymore, and I think it's a miracle that this moment will never happen again today, and that I'm loved by someone I love.

良いなあ

That's good

This review contains spoilers. SFの表題作と他２作。2作はエロなし、1作は少しだけエロありです。どれもよかったですが、表題作のSFがよかった。そんな形になってでも寄り添う2人。ネタバレせずに読んだ方がいいです。どの作品もジェットコースター的な話の流れはないですが、ほのぼのした絵と、あたたかいお話、そして少しだけ切ないです。

This review contains spoilers. SF title work and 2 other works. 2 films have no eroticism, and 1 has just a little bit of eroticism. All of them were good, but the title sci-fi was good. They are two people who snuggle up even when they look like that. You'd better read it without spoilers. None of the works have a rollercoaster storyline, but they have heartwarming pictures, warm stories, and just a little bit sad.

新井素子を思い出すなぁ。

Reminds me of Motoko Arai.

もしこの作品が好きなら「ひとめあなたに…」とか「チグリスとユーフラテス」とかもオススメ(小説だけど)。苦しくなる感じとか切なさや愛しさ、絶望の先に荒野に射す光と影。光の早さで辿り着くという願い。言葉にできない余白のある作品。秀逸な短編です。

If you like this work, I also recommend “For You...” or “Tigris and Euphrates” (though it's a novel). The feeling of suffering, sadness, love, and light and shadow shining into the wilderness beyond despair. The hope is that we will arrive at the speed of light. This work has indescribable margins. This is an excellent short story.

重厚な短編集

Heavy short stories

This review contains spoilers. 一旦レビューなど見ずに読むことをおすすめしますこういうのはやっぱりネタバレ見ちゃったら面白さ半減だと思うので、、3作の短編からなる短編集、どれもファンタジーテイストなのですが違った側面からの攻め方で面白かったです、個人的には2作目激推しですストーリーもですが作画の陰影の付け方が独特で雰囲気がありますね少し物足りなかったりムム？と考えこむ点もありましたが、悩む時間をとってもいいと思えるくらいの良作でした

This review contains spoilers. I recommend reading it without looking at the reviews once. After all, I think the fun is cut in half if you watch spoilers, so the short story, which consists of 3 short stories, is all fantasy style, but it was interesting because of how to attack from different sides. Personally, I highly recommend the 2nd film. It's also a story, but the way the drawing is shaded is unique and has an atmosphere, isn't it a bit unsatisfactory? There were also points to think about, but it was such a good work that I thought it would be nice to take time to worry

想いはどこまでも。。

My feelings will go forever..

This review contains spoilers. 3部作収録の短編集です。本当にひとつひとつの世界観の構築がお上手で素敵です。じわじわと深い情愛みたいな心や魂の繋がりみたいなものが伝わってきます。ファンタジーなお伽噺みたいな物語の始まりから、美しすぎる顔がコンプレックスの着ぐるみ少年の天邪鬼な恋心。表題作を最後に持ってくる構成に、切なさがより一層の効果となって複雑な想いと色んな感情が溢れてしまいます。今風の派手さがある訳じゃありませんが、先生の描く美しい世界観が好き。

This review contains spoilers. This is a short story from a trilogy. They are really good at constructing each worldview, and it's wonderful. Slowly, something like a deep connection between hearts and souls comes through. From the beginning of a fantasy fairytale-like story, the devil love of a costume boy with a complex face that is too beautiful. Sadness has an even greater effect on the structure that brings the title work to the end, and mixed feelings and various emotions overflow. It's not that it's modern and flashy, but I like the beautiful view of the world drawn by the teacher.

ページを読み進められなかった

I couldn't continue reading the page

This review contains spoilers. 短編3作、世界観が全く違う作品たちだけど、ひとつひとつ、とてもキレイにまとまっている作品集だなと思いました。その中で、表題作は最後になります。なんとなく、そうなんだろうなと思うほの悲しさがはじめから漂っていて、「地球に帰る日」からページを捲る事がツラかった。読み進めたくないくらい悲しい。メリバと言えばそうなんだけど、私は、片道切符で帰ってきて欲しかったと思ってしまいました。逃げられた人たちと今後再会ということもあるのかな。ツラいから先は考えたくないけど。とても悲しいお話ですが、作品としては秀逸です。読んで損はありません。蛙の子のお話は続きをよみたいなと思いました^ ^

This review contains spoilers. There are 3 short films with completely different worldviews, but I thought it was a collection of works that were very beautifully organized one by one. Among them, the title work will be the last. Somehow, there was a slight sense of sadness in the air from the beginning that I thought that would happen, and turning the pages from “The Day I Return to Earth” was difficult. It's so sad that I don't want to read on. Speaking of Meriba, that's right, but I thought I wanted them to come back on a one-way ticket. I wonder if there will be a reunion with those who have escaped in the future. It's tough, so I don't want to think ahead. It's a very sad story, but it's an excellent work. There's no harm in reading it. I thought I'd like to continue the story of Frog Boy ^ ^
