Sweet (and sometimes bitter)

This collection of love stories are all sweet. Some are funny, some are tragic and bitter sweet. The art is lovely and the stories a rich variety.

燕丸

Tsubamaru

正直ゲテモノ枠？かと恐る恐る読み進めると、面白い！これはアリ！むしろ泣ける！と燕丸ターンでホロリとしました。

Honestly, it's a bargain frame? It's interesting if you read on fearfully! This is an ant! It would rather make me cry! I took the Tsubamaru turn and decided to do it.

短篇集だからこその満足感

A sense of satisfaction only because it is a collection of short stories

それぞれ全く違う登場人物。御伽名の通り、一話一話に感動して涙したり、ほっこりしたり。それぞれのキャラに魅力があって、すごく読み応えがありました。個人的にはサメの話と龍の話が好きですが、一話目の天狗の話で、一気に読書欲をかき立てられました。ぜひ皆さんに読んで貰いたい。素敵な作品をありがとうございました。

Each character is completely different. As the name of Otogi suggests, I was moved by episode one by one, and I was moved to tears and feel relieved. Each character had its own appeal, and it was a great read. Personally, I like shark stories and dragon stories, but the first episode of the Tengu story stirred up my desire to read all at once. I definitely want everyone to read it. Thank you very much for your wonderful work.

This review contains spoilers. とても素敵な作品ばかりです(*^^*)短編が５つ入っていて、ほっこりするお話や切なく胸がぎゅっとしてしまう作品ばかり！久々に涙がｗ人間とヒトナラザルモノのお話ですが、絆や優しさに溢れてるお話(*´∇｀*)ちびキャラがとっても可愛いんです！えろは少ないけど、それがまたいい味出してると思うしこういうお話とっても好き～(*^^*)ほっこりしたい人や切ない泣いちゃうかもしれませんが、オススメだよ～(*^^*)

This review contains spoilers. They are all very nice works (*^^*) There are 5 short films in it, and all of them are relaxing stories and works that make my heart feel sad! Tears for the first time in a long time lol it's a story about humans and human macaques, and the story full of bonds and kindness (*'ocious`*) The little characters are so cute! There isn't much energy, but I think it also has a good flavor, and I really like this kind of story ~ (*^^*) People who want to relax or they may cry sad, but I recommend it~ (*^^*)

妖と人との♡

Of demons and people ♡

どのお話ももっと読みたいと思えるものばかり！切なかったり、ほろっと泣けたり、ほんわかクスッと笑えたり。妖たちのディテールも細かいし、全体的に作り込みがとっても細かくて、すみずみまでじっくり読んでしまいました。１話目の天狗さんは、腕を譲ったという事でしょうか？天狗さんは自ら離れる選択をしたけど、２人で過ごす時間がこれから先来るといいなぁ。

Every story just makes me want to read more! I was sad, I was able to cry bitterly, and I was able to laugh so warmly. The details of Demons were also detailed, and the overall construction was so detailed that I read it carefully down to the last minute. Does that mean Tengu from episode 1 gave up his arm? Tengu made the choice to leave on his own, but I hope the two of us will spend time together in the future.

It is an omnibus work of fairy tales about people and people outside. There are sad stories, and there are also cute stories. There were 5 short films recorded, and although they were short, I'm glad they were all well organized.

いやー良かった

Well that was great

作家買い。オムニバス形式の短編5話で、御伽草子みたいな人外もの。どのお話も絵も素晴らしかったです。基本的に短編苦手なのですが全話面白かった。切ない話、癒される話…と色んな変わったストーリーが読めました。自然と人間の共存する姿や無欲な人、狐様の可愛さ等々大変楽しめました。(総182ページ)

Buy an artist. It's 5 short stories in omnibus format, and it's an outsider like Otogi Zoshi. Every story and picture was wonderful. Basically, I'm not good at short stories, but all the episodes were interesting. I was able to read many different stories, such as sad stories, healing stories... I really enjoyed the sight of nature and humans coexisting, selfless people, and the cuteness of foxes. (182 pages in total)

何処かオトボケ狐さん！！

Somewhere, Otoko Kitsune!

作家さん押しです。この作家さん、どの作品も不思議な世界に連れていってくれます。心がホッコリ。夜道を歩く人間に声を掛ける所から始まります。ショートストーリーなのに何だか目一杯読んだ満足感とクスッと笑えて優しさにも触れられる…！！自然界ならの皆さんに会いに行きませんか？

Recommended by the artist. Every work by this artist takes me to a mysterious world. My heart feels relieved. It starts by calling out to people walking on the street at night. Even though it's a short story, I was able to touch the satisfaction and kindness of reading it to the fullest...!! Why don't you go see everyone in the natural world?

良い短編集でした

That was a good short story

五作ありましたが、どの話も違った味わいがあって良かったです。特につながっている話では無いのですが、作者が同じだからか、五作で一つのまとまりのある短編集に感じられました。

There were five works, and I'm glad that every story had a different flavor. It's not a particularly connected story, but probably because the authors are the same, I felt like it was a cohesive short story with five works.

短いけど重みがある

Short but heavy

単話が5話入ってます。作者様がいうように自然（神）と人間のどこか相容れない部分を、切なくも愛通ずるお話として描かれていて、どのCPも満足のいくものでした。その先を読みたくなってしまうけど何となく想像のままで留めておくのが良いのかもな…と思わせてくれるような儚さもあります。おまけ漫画は各CPが幸せそうでホッコリしました。

There are 5 single episodes in it. As the author says, the part where nature (god) and humans are somehow incompatible was depicted as a sad yet loving story, and every CP was satisfying. There is also a sense of transience that makes me want to read beyond that, but somehow makes me think that it might be better to keep it as I imagine... As for the bonus comic, I was so relieved that each CP seemed happy.

御伽噺の心地良さ

The comfort of fairy tales

This review contains spoilers. 昔話風の5つのオムニバス御伽噺。ひとつひとつ味わいの違う余韻がありました。自らの理を忘れ恋をしてしまった天狗の想いと置き土産。孤独だった不知火と贄のナギが戦いの中で芽生える感情。かわいいキツネと優しい村人たち。妖刀燕丸を命を賭して守り抜く強い意志と愛。モブのような見た目の中に無欲という至高の美徳を見たイケメン龍。読みやすさのなかに、絵や台詞の美しさ、切なさや温かさもあり、色んなテイストでどれも良かったです。巻末の4コマおまけまんがの、それぞれのその後もユニークでほっこり可愛らしくて癒される。。・・・ヨムビーおはよう・・・

This review contains spoilers. Five omnibus feudal temples in the style of folktales. Each one had a different finish. A souvenir with the feelings of a tengu who has forgotten his own reason and fell in love. An emotion that develops during a battle between Shiranuhi and Nagi the Sacrifice, who were lonely. Cute foxes and friendly villagers. Strong will and love to protect the fairy sword Tsubamaru at the risk of his life. A handsome dragon who saw the supreme virtue of being selfless in his mob-like appearance. In addition to being easy to read, there was also the beauty, sadness, and warmth of the pictures and lines, all of which were good with a variety of tastes. The 4-frame bonus manga at the end of the book is also unique, relaxing, cute, and soothing after each one.. ... good morning Yomby...

あやかしと人間

Ayakashi and humans

表紙の雰囲気と絵柄から、ほっこりなお話を想像してましたが、ほっこりな部分もあるけど、切なかったり重かったりもして、いろんな感情を抱くお話たちでした。私は妖ものは好きなので、普通に人間と共存してる世界観は良かったです。結末がハッピーエンドかは人それぞれの感じ方ですが、ラストにお話ごとの四コマがあり、それを読んで私は救われました！もっといろいろな御伽の話が読みたいです。

I was imagining a relaxing story from the atmosphere and pattern on the cover, but although there were relaxing parts, they were sad and heavy, and they were all kinds of feelings. I like demons, so I liked the view of a world where they normally coexist with humans. Everyone has their own way of feeling whether the ending is happy, but there are four frames for each story at the end, and I was saved by reading them! I want to read more Otogi stories.

This review contains spoilers. A collection of human fantasy based on ancient Japanese and Chinese anecdotes and folklore. Pottery artist Ibuki comes to the mountain ruled by Shirakaze, the god of blue wind. One day, Ibuki wants to burn beautiful celadon like Shirakaze's wings and hair on the soil of this mountain, he is hit by falling rocks. The village nagi, who make a living by fishing “to the bottom of the sea,” fights every day against the giant shiranuhi, who is the guardian of the sea.

I've spent time alone The hearts of Shiranuhi and Nagi, who were sacrificed for the village, are close together. “Kitsune Udon” One day when tofu is sold, I met a udon restaurant with a tandai stand on a mountain road. The udon shop, which immediately makes its ears and tail stick out, is strange when you look at the stall with 4 legs, and they hand over the surplus of the deep-fried tofu, but the fox udon was surprisingly delicious. It depicts Onoda Muneyuki, who lost the battle of “Tsubammaru,” and his escape with his demon sword Tsubamaru. “Dragon's Elixir” At the emperor's order, one warrior comes all the way to ask for “Dragon's Blood,” which is regarded as an elixir to the dragon god. 5 different editions, all excellent It was.

妖と人とが織りなす珠玉の御伽噺集

A collection of precious fairy tales woven by demons and people

5つの短編集ですが、1つ1つがなかなか読ませます。切なかったり優しい気持ちになったり、そして時に感極まったりと心のあらゆる箇所を解してくれるような短編集でした。BLというより男形した妖と人間(男)が自然な流れで出会い、認め合い、そして繋がる物語。「繋がる」と言っても肉体的なものより(そういう部分もありますが)心や魂レベルに近いのでエロさは期待しないで下さい。どなたかもレビューされていましたが、作品の順番が絶妙なところも◎。最初の短編で妖と人とが隔たりなく普通に存在している世界にスッと読者を誘い、優しい気分にさせてからラストにメッセージ性のある短編を持ってきて余韻を残す。さすがです！私には中毒性のある作品みたいで既に何度も読み返しています。優しい気持ちになりたい時にどうぞ〜。

There are 5 short stories, and each one is quite easy to read. It was a short story that made me understand every part of my heart, making me feel sad, kind, and sometimes moved. Rather than BL, it's a story where a demon and a human (man) in the form of a man meet, acknowledge each other, and connect in a natural way. Even if you say “connect,” it's closer to the heart or soul level than the physical one (although there are parts like that), so don't expect eroticism. Everyone was reviewing it, but there are also places where the order of the works is exquisite. The first short story quickly invites readers to a world where demons and people exist normally without separation, and after making them feel kind, they bring a short story with a message at the end and leave a lingering afterglow. As expected! It seems like an addictive work to me, and I've already reread it over and over again. Please do it when you want to feel kind.

素敵なあやかしオムニバス…！

A wonderful Ayakashi Omnibus...!

This review contains spoilers. レビューに惹かれてポチリましたが、妖物が好きな私にぴったり！とっても良かったです！！いかにも人とあやかしが共存していたかもしれない時代設定、あやかしの描写も可愛すぎず怖すぎず綺麗、絵のタッチも雰囲気に合っていて素敵！オムニバスの五編（5組）のお話は、それぞれ二人の気持ちの交流が丁寧に描かれていて、切なかったりほっこりしたり、すごい満足感でした！どの二人も好きです！！最後のおまけ漫画も全組のその後を描いてくださっていてとっても嬉しい！！えっちはあったりなかったりですが、あやかし読み物として、オムニバスの良さ全開、一冊とは思えない高い満足が感じられました！！

This review contains spoilers. I was drawn to the review, but it's perfect for me who loves monsters! It was very good!! It really is set in an era where people and Ayakashi may have coexisted, and the depiction of Ayakashi is beautiful, not too cute, not too scary, and the touch of the picture matches the atmosphere and is wonderful! Each story of Omnibus Part 5 (5 groups) carefully depicts the exchange of feelings between the two, and I felt sad and relaxed, and it was a great sense of satisfaction! I love both of them!! I'm so happy that they also drew the last bonus comic after all the groups!! There are and are not, but as an absurd reading, I was able to fully explore the merits of the omnibus, and I felt a high level of satisfaction that I couldn't think of as a single book!!

I would also like to read the Western version of the omnibus “Marchen.”
