作者買いです

I'm buying the author

This review contains spoilers. G aps シリーズとは全然雰囲気の異なるお話ですが、コレもめっちゃ面白い！受けの松田がとにかく良い！ギャップ萌えってこういうことかと改めて思い知らされました。松田は加藤が大嫌いだけど、初めから意識しまくり執着しまくりなところ、はたから見れば大好きなんだなとしか思えないヤツですよね。先輩すら小バカにしている松田。能力を認めライバル視している相手が告白してきたら嬉しくなるのも頷けます。狙った女性に告白されるより、ずっと嬉しいんだろうな。口や態度では加藤を拒絶していても、最後まで「満更でもない」という気持ちが漏れでていて、そんなところも可愛いなと思いました。リテイクのラストの加藤のセリフには、「これで完璧に落ちたな」と察して、一人でニヤニヤしちゃいました。そして、メインの二人の傍らで、凄まじい色気を放ち存在感を残していた神谷次長。正直気になって仕方なかったのですが、梶さんとのスピンオフがあると知り歓喜したのは言うまでもありません。里先生って、どこまでも読者の期待に応えて下さる。ありがたや～。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story with a completely different atmosphere from the G aps series, but it's also really interesting! Matsuda, who received it, is just fine! I was reminded once again that Gap Moe is like this. Matsuda hates Kato, but from the beginning, he was conscious and obsessed, and if you look at it from the beginning, you can only think that he loves it. Matsuda is making a fool of even his seniors. No wonder they would be happy when someone who recognizes their abilities and sees them as rivals confesses. I guess they're much happier than being confessed by the woman they're aiming for. Even though they rejected Kato in terms of words and attitudes, the feeling that “I'm not satisfied” was leaking out until the end, and I thought that was cute too. In Kato's line at the end of the retake, I guessed “this fell perfectly,” and I smirked alone. Also, beside the two main people, Deputy Director Kamiya gave off tremendous sex appeal and left a strong presence. To be honest, I couldn't help but was curious, but it goes without saying that I was delighted to learn that there was a spin-off with Kaji. Sato-sensei always lives up to readers' expectations. I'm thankful for that.

恋におちるのかな…続編も必読ですよ

I wonder if I'll Fall in Love... the sequel is also a must-read

This review contains spoilers. 同期でライバル視している加藤に実は惚れられていたという松田。生意気で女好きで、と思いきや仕事にも一途で、取引先で子会社が売られてしまうというとそこの社員も心配する好青年。加藤が彼の本質を分かって恋したんだなと思える。しかし加藤のアプローチは今どきでは性加害者じゃんってほどで、お約束ではあるがノンケの松田がだんだん加藤に絆されて行く過程が面白い。続編も迷わず購入、スピンオフの松田の上司のお話までいっきに購入しました。里先生のDogsからハマったのですが、この『俺が〜』シリーズはキャラがまた違っていて、読んでも楽しくて大好きです。

This review contains spoilers. Matsuda says he was actually in love with Kato, whom he viewed as his rival at the same time. He is a good young man who is cheeky and likes women, but when his subsidiary is sold by his business partner, he is also a good young man who worries about his employees there. I think Kato understood his true nature and fell in love with him. However, Kato's approach is now such that he is a sexual offender, and the process where Matsuda, who is nonke, gradually becomes bonded to Kato, is interesting, albeit as promised. I bought the sequel without hesitation, and I even bought the spin-off story about Matsuda's boss right away. I'm addicted to Sato-sensei's Dogs, but I love this “I Am...” series because the characters are different, and it's fun to read.

面白い！

interesting!

里先生の作品はほんとにおもしろくてハマる〜。今回もキャラクターも良くて、そんな2人の関係が変わってく様子がいい。続刊もみます。

Sato-sensei's works are really interesting and I'm addicted to them. The characters are good this time too, and it's nice to see how the relationship between these two is changing. I'll look at the next issue.

デキる男同士のやり取りが面白い

Interactions between good men are interesting

This review contains spoilers. 銀行の営業部で働く女好きのツンデレチョロ王子とクールで飄々としたボンボンの同期二人が仕事と恋に切磋琢磨するお話。加藤と松田、銀行で働くデキる男たちのビシッとしたスーツ姿とウィットに富んだ会話がとても素敵でカッコいいです。特に二人のやり取りは予想外の返答の連続で、ちょっとガキっぽい言い合いが可愛く思えます。突然の加藤の告白で意識し始める松田。動揺する松田にクールに迫る加藤。二人がどんどん楽しそうになっていくのが萌えでした。体の関係になるのは少しチョロかったですが、仕事をしている時の男らしい一面とのギャップがまた良かったです。最後のタイトルに繋がるやり取りも最高でした。今後、松田が完堕ちするのかどうか、二人を見守りたいと思います。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story about Prince Tsundere Choro, who loves women who works in the bank sales department, and two cool and feisty bonbon friends who work hard at work and love. Kato, Matsuda, and the handsome men working at the bank in their tight suits and witty conversation are so wonderful and cool. In particular, the exchange between the two was a series of unexpected responses, and their slightly childish arguments seem cute. Matsuda begins to be aware when Kato's sudden confession. Kato approaches the upset Matsuda in a cool way. It was amazing that the two of them seemed to be having more and more fun. The physical relationship was a bit messy, but the gap with my manly side at work was also nice. The exchange leading up to the final title was also great. I would like to keep an eye on the two of them to see if Matsuda completely falls in the future.

It can't be helped even if they are bonded! Your opponent is too good! It's amazing how quickly they drop all the nonke. I wonder if this will lead to talking about spin-offs! I'm looking forward to reading it!

加藤のギリギリ路線がよい。

Kato's last-minute route is good.

This review contains spoilers. 加藤みたいなのが下手するとヤバい人になるけど、スレスレのところがひっくり変えるとこんなに魅力的でカッコいいんだって思える。私が若い時にこの作家さんを知って読んでたら私の恋愛事情も違ったかも？好きと思ったら出来る限り諦めずに恥ずかしがらずにアタックするのもいいよねって思った。この作家さんの描く攻めは独特で危ないけど仕事できてカッコイイから好きになるよ！

This review contains spoilers. If someone like Kato doesn't do well, they become dangerous people, but I think they're so attractive and cool when things change completely. If I had known and read this writer when I was young, maybe my love affairs would have been different too? I thought it would be nice to attack without giving up and being shy as much as possible if I liked it. The attack drawn by this artist is unique and dangerous, but I love it because I was able to do my job and was so cool!

読んでください！

Please read it!

買って良かったです！お互い成績を張り合うぐらいの寡黙な加藤✕キャンキャン強がる松田ですが、あるきっかけで二人の関係がと少しずつ変化していきます。オフィスラブは結構ありますが、オフィスラブに焦点を当てるだけでなく、商社での人間模様も少し垣間見れて面白いです。ちょこっと出てくる同じフロアの女性社員のやり取りも面白かったりします（笑）もちろん絡みのシーンもありますが、いい感じにズルズル上手く持ち込む加藤の器用さ(ズルさ？)も関心しちゃいます。２巻も購入済みなので、同時購入がオススメです！

I'm glad I bought it! Kato ✕ is so quiet that they compete with each other for results, Matsuda is strong, but the relationship between the two changes little by little due to a certain trigger. There are quite a few office love, but it's interesting not only to focus on office love, but also to get a little glimpse of human patterns in trading companies. The exchange between female employees on the same floor that comes up a little bit is also interesting (laughs) Of course, there are scenes of entanglement, but Kato's dexterity (cheat?) who brings in a nice and clever way I'm also interested. I've already bought 2 volumes, so I recommend buying them at the same time!

里つばめワールド内だけで許してしまう色々

Various things I can forgive just in Satotsubame World

作品レビューではないのですが、本作を再読したら里先生作品についてしみじみ感じたことがあったので書くことにします。里先生のエリートリーマンものは、ガチガチのホモソーシャルの世界で、もちろんミソジニーもばりばりで、部分的にホモフォビアもついてくる現実と同様の地獄。要素だけ取ると拒みたいものばかり。なのに、先生がここに性愛を加えて描いたとき、性愛以外の部分の現実味ある描き方に支えられて、フィクション全体にもしかして現実に起きうるかもしれない、もう起きていることかもしれないという説得力が持たされ、そして、このファンタジーを通してみると、ついついレジストを忘れて現実を認め許してしまいそうにまでなる。そんな危うさをもつのが里先生の作品。そういう意味で、このジャンルにおける正統的な作品を作られる先生だな、と思わされます。そもそも男尊女卑が残る社会での生存を迫られる女性にとっては、このファンタジーを通して現実を見直すことこそが、ひとつのサバイバル手段でありきたってきたのだと思います。時代とともにいろいろ変わったこともあれど、この社会に生きる処方箋として里先生の作品はたまらなくよく効く。

It's not a work review, but when I reread this work, I had a deep feeling about Sato-sensei's work, so I decided to write it. Sato-sensei's Elite Lehman stuff is a hell similar to reality in a tough homosocial world, and of course misogyny is rampant, and homophobia is also partly involved. If you take only the elements, there are only things you want to reject. Nevertheless, when the teacher drew it by adding sexual love here, it was supported by a realistic way of drawing parts other than sexual love, and it had persuasive power that could happen in reality in fiction as a whole, or that it might have already happened, and when I looked through this fantasy, I almost forgot my resist and acknowledged and forgave reality. Sato-sensei's works have such danger. In that sense, it makes me think that he is a teacher who can create authentic works in this genre. For women who are pressured to survive in a society where men are superior to women in the first place, I think reviewing reality through this fantasy has become one means of survival. Many things have changed with the times, but Sato-sensei's works are irresistibly effective as a prescription for living in this society.

Kneel for real

銀行マンエリート二人松田が大好きな加藤は、隠さない。なんなら弱みにつけ込むくらい大好き。つけ込んでオリーブオイルで突っ込むけです。スーツ姿もカッコイイ2人ですが、普段着で髪を下ろしてるのもかっこいいです。

Kato, who loves Matsuda, two elite bankers, doesn't hide it. I love it enough to take advantage of my weaknesses. Just soak it in and plunge it in with olive oil. They are both cool in suits, but it's also cool to have their hair down in everyday clothes.

尊いリーマン

Precious Lehman

作者さんの描かれるリーマンは本当に素敵です。カッコいいだけじゃなくてダメな所も可愛い所も全部いいです。加藤が本当に松田の事が好きで陰で色々頑張ってるところがたまりませんね。そして終わり方が本当に綺麗で読後しばらく忘れられないシーンになりました。

The artist's drawing of Riemann is really wonderful. Not only is it cool, but all of the bad and cute places are good. It's irresistible that Kato really likes Matsuda and is working so hard behind the scenes. And the way it ended was really beautiful, and it was a scene I won't forget for a while after reading it.

銀行マンBL。

Bankman BL.

GAPS他、作者さんのお仕事BLどれも好きです。ノンケ受けが強引な攻めに振り回される感じはどれも共通ですね。ほんと、どの攻めも手を出すのが早い早い。合意も何もあったもんじゃない。こちらの作品は受けも気が強くてお仕事できるイケメンです。恋とは些細なきっかけで落ちるものですね。続きも購入済みなので読むのが楽しみです。

In addition to GAPS, I like all of the author's BL jobs. They all have the same feeling that they are being swayed by aggressive attacks. Really, it's quick to get your hands out of every attack. There wasn't an agreement or anything. This work was well received and he is a handsome guy who can do his job. Love is something that falls due to trivial reasons, isn't it? I've already purchased the continuation, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
