良かった！

That was great!

パックでお得だったので一気に買いました。安定の少女漫画。他の方も仰ってますが20歳設定はちょっと無理があるけど、そこは漫画だから目をつむれる範囲かなと。15歳からしたら20歳はだいぶ大人に見えてるだろうから妥当だと思うストーリーです。ちょっとの優しさでキュンキュンしちゃうよね〜(〃ω〃)

It was a great deal in a pack, so I bought it all at once. A stable girls' comic. Other people have said that setting 20 years old is a bit unreasonable, but since it's a comic, I think it's within the range where I can close my eyes. I think this story is appropriate because if you start at age 15, you can look like a 20 year old quite a bit of an adult. A little bit of kindness makes you cringe ~ ()

わー少女漫画

Wow girl manga

最初のノリからTL方向に行くの？って思ってたりもしたけど，安心の少女漫画でした。海くんに比べ，高瀬の表情が幼い感じアリアリすぎるのが残念だけど。

Are you going in the TL direction from the first nori? I thought so, but it was a reassuring girls' comic. Compared to Umi-kun, it's a pity that Takase's expression is too young and realistic.

イケメン過ぎでしょ(*^^*)

he's too handsome isn't he (*^^*)

海君…謎過ぎる(笑)ボンボンなのかなぁ…20歳設定だからか優しさ気遣いかなりスマート。絵がとても綺麗で読みやすい♪ただ話のテンポが焦れったい個人的にはもっとグイグイいって欲しい(//∇//)新刊が楽しみです。

Umi-kun... that's too much of a mystery (lol) I wonder if it's Bon Bon... he's pretty smart, kind and caring, probably because he's 20 years old. The pictures are so beautiful and easy to read ♪ I'm just impatient with the tempo of the story, and personally I want it to be even better (////) I'm looking forward to the new edition.

イケメン過ぎる?

too good-looking?

20歳設定はちょっと無理やり感があるけれど、海君は格好イイし！優しさが流石スマート?まぁ、年相応なのかもしれませんが?こんな同級生いたら女子は惚れますね！野獣っぷりは最初だけでしたがお話自体も気になるので今後が楽しみです?

Setting the age 20 is a bit overwhelming, but Umi-kun is so cool! is kindness really smart? well, maybe it's appropriate for the year? Girls would fall in love if they had a classmate like this! Wild Beasts was only at the beginning, but I'm curious about the story itself, so I'm looking forward to the future?

大人

grownups

This review contains spoilers. 20歳の高校生男子が、高校1年生の女子を好きになってしまうというお話です。煙草を吸う姿がカッコいいって、昭和の高度経済成長期のイメージなのですが、令和の今でもそうなんでしょうか。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story about a 20-year-old high school boy falling in love with a girl in his first year of high school. The fact that they smoke is cool is an image of the Showa period of rapid economic growth, but is that still the case in Reiwa today?

流石に20歳が16歳にはなじまんだろう?

As a matter of fact, 20-year-olds are used to 16-year-olds, right?

This review contains spoilers. とりあえず1巻読了。高３くらいならまだリアリティーが感じられたと思うのですが、流石に20歳が16歳にはなじまんだろうとツッ込みたくなるのを抑えながら読みました?しかも海くん、気を使われたくないからそのことを秘密にしている割には同級生の行動範囲内でお酒は飲むわ、車は運転するわで、本当に隠す気があるのかしらと?まぁでも、ヒロインにバレて「二人だけのヒ・ミ・ツ?」という設定は、ドキドキ感があって案外嫌いじゃありません。年上らしく大人の余裕でヒロインをからかったり翻弄したりする海くんも格好良くてキュンとできますしね！ピュアでひたむきなヒロインが、15歳で病気をして入院生活を送っていた割にはやけに手練れ感のある海くんとこれからどのような恋物語を紡いでいくのか気になるな〜?

This review contains spoilers. Anyway, I've read volume 1. I think I was still able to feel the reality when I was in high 3, but as a matter of fact, I read it while suppressing the fact that a 20-year-old would fit in with a 16-year-old and wanted to dive in? Moreover, since Umi-kun doesn't want to be bothered, he drinks alcohol and drives cars within the scope of action of his classmates in spite of keeping it a secret, so I wonder if he really wants to hide it? Well, the heroine found out, “What's the secret of just the two of them?” There's a sense of excitement about this setting, so I don't dislike it surprisingly. Umi-kun, who seems to be older and makes fun of and at the mercy of the heroine with plenty of time to spare, is also so cool and can do it! I'm wondering what kind of love story the pure and dedicated heroine will spin with Umi-kun, who is awfully skilled in spite of her illness at age 15 and living in the hospital?

海君イケメンでした！

Umi-kun was a handsome guy!

物足りな～い！もっとストを長く読みたかった。思いの外短くて残念！内容的には好きです♪高一で海君みたいな男子が居たらモテモテですよね♪

that's not enough! I wish I had read Strike longer. Too bad it was unexpectedly short! I like it in terms of content ♪ it would be popular if there were boys like Umi-kun in high school ♪

同級生が実は２０歳

My classmate is actually 20 years old

海くんが終始誠実でヒロインも健気なのでほのぼのします。現実的ではない部分も多々あるけど面白く読めました。

Umi-kun is sincere from beginning to end, and the heroine is also healthy, so it's heartwarming. There are a lot of parts that aren't realistic, but I was able to read it in an interesting way.
