Surprisingly tender and perfectly sweet

The complexities of grief and loss are woven with healing and hopefulness and new beginnings in this sweet, redemptive love story.

うん

Yeah

最初に感じたのは重いという感情でした。タイトルで分かっていたのですが兄の元カレと(しかも兄死んでいる)というのは複雑で重かったです。ですが、そこを乗り越えたハッピーエンドが最高です。

The first thing I felt was a heavy feeling. As you know from the title, being with my older brother's ex-boyfriend (and my older brother is dead) was complicated and heavy. However, the happy ending that overcomes that is the best.

様々なギャップが

Various gaps

This review contains spoilers. 受けのエーリくん、今どきの子だから？あまり喋らないクール系？と思ったら、抱かれた姿が可愛い〜キャーギャップがいい〜。藤森さんは、恋愛よりもその日を楽しく〜恋愛諦め系。2人に繋がる過去、藤森はいつ気づく？ドキドキしながら、この恋どーなる？ドキドキハラハラ〜。重めの過去話だけど、そこまで重さを感じさせない物語もまたいい。この先の2人の恋愛がよりいい関係が気づける感じがします。じわじわ味が出て来てドキドキして良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. Is that because Eri-kun is the kid of today? A cool guy who doesn't talk much? When I think about it, they look cute when hugged ~ car gap is nice ~. Fujimori-san enjoyed that day rather than love ~ give up on romance. When did Fujimori notice the past connected to the two? As exciting as it is, what will happen to this love? it's exciting, it's exciting! It's a heavy story from the past, but stories that don't make you feel that heavy are also good. I feel like I can notice a better relationship between the two in the future. I'm glad that the flavor slowly came out and I was excited.

コミックス速攻買った。笑

I bought comics fast. lol

淡白な絵柄ですが表情に色気のある絵柄で、個人的に好みです。お話の内容も一話読んで続きが気になって速攻でコミックス買いました。

Although it is a pale pattern, it has an expressive, sexy pattern, and I personally like it. I also read one episode of the story and was curious about the continuation, so I quickly bought comics.

よい意味で思っていたのと違った

It was different from what I thought in a good sense

気づいたら涙がぶわ〜っと出ていました。ゆるく、かるく、重苦しくなくすすんでいるのに、いろいろなものがつまっているお話です。よかったです。

I was in tears when I noticed it. It's a story that is loose, light, and not heavy, yet it's packed with all kinds of things. That was great.

とおっっっっっっても

Whoa whoa

いいよね。もっと重たく暗くなりそうなものだけど、前へ前へ！違和感なく、とても気持ちの良い進み方でした。

That's good. It's about to get heavier and darker, but move forward! There was no sense of incongruity, and it was a very pleasant way to proceed.

単行本希望！

I want a book!

単行本になるのはいつかと待っています！まとまるのが待ちきれず単話で一気読みしちゃいました。面白かった！まだもう少し2人のその後が読みたい。兄の元カレが良いキャラしてます。弟は可愛いかったです。

I'm waiting to see when it becomes a book! I couldn't wait for it to come together and read it all at once in a single episode. That was interesting! I still want to read a few more after the two of them. My older brother's ex-boyfriend is a good character. My brother was cute.

めっちゃ好き

I really like it

画がシンプルなのでそんなに期待してなかったけど、結果的に凄い良かった。兄の元彼藤森さんのキャラがいい！自己評価高くてちょっとズレてる感じ、8歳も年下にタメ口きかれながらも普通に返すとことか、愛されキャラ。前半は笑い、後半は涙と短いながらもぎっしりと詰まっているストーリー。気の抜けた感じのやり取りもいいし、結局、愛する相手とずっといたいと思ってるところ、絶妙に良かった。

The picture is simple, so I wasn't expecting that much, but the results were really good. I like the character of my older brother Mori, my ex-boyfriend! She is a beloved character who has a high self-esteem and feels a little off, and even though she is being spoken to by 8 years and younger, she returns normally. The first half is a short yet tightly packed story with laughter, and the second half is a short yet tightly packed story. It was nice to have a carefree exchange, and in the end, I wanted to be with the person I love the whole time, which was exquisitely nice.

これは深い…

this is deep...

１話読了後は、よくあるワンナイトから始まる恋だと思っていましたが、あ、これ、なんか深い話だ。感動します。

After I read episode 1, I thought it was a love beginning with a common one-night stand, but ah, this is kind of a deep story. I'm impressed.

タイトルと表紙に一目惚れ

I fell in love with the title and cover at first sight

This review contains spoilers. して、纏まるのを待って購入しようと思っていたのですが、Caramelさんから出ている先生の他作品が纏まってない事に気付き、完結のタイミングで単話で全話購入しました。購入して後悔なしです。でももし纏まったらそちらも絶対買います！就寝前に読んで号泣してしまいました。色々昂ぶってなかなか寝付けなかった…。表紙も素敵ですが、何よりタイトルがたまらなく良いです。個人的琴線に触れまくりです。“する恋は”で止まっているのが想像力を掻き立てられます。一体どんな恋なのか…切ないに決まってるよな…でも恋せずにはいられなかったんだなと…胸がギュッとなります。コミカルなキャラやセリフにはクスッとさせられますが、二人ともに抱えた喪失に、そしてそこから始まる新しい恋に胸が苦しくて切なくて、でも温かくて…。表紙にはいない“兄”も含めた3人それぞれの“恋”が丁寧に描かれていて読み応えがありました。たくさんの方に読んでもらいたい素晴らしい作品です。

This review contains spoilers. Then, I waited for it to come together and was thinking of buying it, but I noticed that the teacher's other works from Caramel weren't organized, so I bought all the episodes in a single episode when it was complete. Buy it and you won't regret it. But if they come together, I'll definitely buy them too! I read it before going to bed and cried. I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep easily... The cover is also nice, but above all, the title is irresistibly good. I'm touching my personal heartstrings a lot. The fact that it stops at “Shu Koi” stirs up the imagination. What kind of love is it... it's bound to be sad... but I couldn't help but be in love... it makes my heart feel tight. I'm taken aback by the comical characters and lines, but the loss they both had, and the new love that begins from there, is heartbreaking and sad, yet so warm... The “love” of each of the 3 people, including the “older brother,” which is not on the cover, was carefully drawn, and it was worth reading. It's a wonderful work that I want many people to read.

尊い

Precious

This review contains spoilers. 亡くなった受けの兄が悪い人というわけではなくて、考え方の違いだったりするんだろうなと、ちゃんと納得できる描かれ方です。ちゃんと吹っ切れて前を向いてる攻めさんがカッコいいです。

This review contains spoilers. It's not that my older brother, who passed away, is a bad person, and it's a way of drawing that I'm really convinced that it's probably a difference in way of thinking. Attackers who blow through properly and are facing forward are cool.

ストーリーが気に入りました。

I loved the story.

二人とも亡くなった元カレ（又は、兄）のことをちゃんと考えて供養してそして、二人で幸せになろうとしてるところ、いいな、と思いました。

They both thought properly about their deceased ex-boyfriend (or older brother), held a memorial service, and I thought it would be nice to have them both trying to be happy.

一途でかわいい！

So cute all at once!

This review contains spoilers. 兄の元カレはただの遊び人かと思いきや、ゲイであることを家族から理解されずそれを気にしていないように見えるけど悩みの種なんだろうなぁ、、、でも兄に対しても弟に対しても不器用なりに一途で応援したくなります。最後は幸せになってよかった！！

This review contains spoilers. I wonder if my older brother's ex-boyfriend is just a playboy, and he doesn't seem to be understood by his family and he doesn't seem to care about it, but it's probably a source of trouble... but I want to support both my older brother and younger brother in a clumsy manner. I'm glad I was happy at the end!!

悲しいんだけども少し時が経っている話

It's sad, but it's a story where a little time has passed

This review contains spoilers. 好きな人が死んだらこうなる。兄の死を弟と元カレが受け入れていく話です。悲しいんだけど悲しい話だけにならないのが心地よいです。このままお兄さんの気持ちとか分からず（本当のことは当人にしかわからないし）に二人には仲良くやっていってほしい。泣きそうにはなるけどちゃんとえろいことはしてます。

This review contains spoilers. This is what happens when someone you love dies. It's a story about a younger brother and his ex-boyfriend coming to terms with their older brother's death. It's sad, but it's comfortable that it's not just a sad story. I want the two of them to get along well even though they still don't understand their older brother's feelings (only the person in question knows the truth). It almost makes me cry, but I'm doing something really erotic.

My tears were luddling

とても良いです。６巻、朝一読んでいましたらあれっ!?…涙が出ていました。英里くんクールでカワイイです。藤森さん軽く見られがちですが好きな人は大事に出来るところが素敵です。この作品オススメです◎

It's very good. If I read volume 6 first thing in the morning, huh!? ... I was in tears. Eri-kun is cool and cute. Fujimori-san tends to be taken lightly, but it's wonderful that people you like can take good care of them. I recommend this work ◎

みんな優しくて、嫌な人がいなくて、しみじみ好きなお話です。今回は特に泣けちゃいました。あと１回位で終わっちゃうのかな～。今回も英里がとても可愛いです。藤森さんも正直ですごく素敵。最後の最後は二人の結婚式まで見届けたい・・・！

Everyone is kind, there are no bad people, and it's a story I really like. I cried this time in particular. I wonder if it will be over in about 1 time. Eri is so cute this time too. Mr. Fujimori is also honest and very nice. I want to see them all the way to their wedding at the very end...!

作者様買いです。

The author is buying it.

安定の良さです。前作が好きで今作も即購入。切ない設定がありますが、登場人物の性格もあり、暗くなりすぎません。作者様のお話は、キャラクターが人として成熟している(芯がある)点が魅力です。誰に何言われようと揺るがない、といった趣旨のセリフがありましたが、この感じです。最新巻まで、読了感も良く面白いです。前作の淡々と物語が進む展開も魅力的でしたが、今作のネタ要素ありの展開も良かったです。どちらも面白いです。

The stability is good. I liked the previous one and bought this one right away. There are sad settings, but there are also personalities of the characters, so it doesn't get too dark. The appeal of the author's story is that the characters have matured as people (have a core). There was a line to the effect that it is unshakable no matter who says anything, and it feels like this. The feeling of reading up to the latest volume is also very interesting. The development where the story progresses slowly from the previous work was also fascinating, but the development with story elements from this work was also good. Both are interesting.

ストーリー◎

Story◎

切なさありチョイチョイ笑いあり、まだ完結して無さそうなのでお気に入り登録しました。二人の会話やりとりがクスッと笑えて、ウケの一途さがさり気ない感じで可愛くてしょうがない。タチの超ポジティブで軽い印象がガラッと変わるとこまで読んで良かった。

There was a sense of sadness, joy, and laughter, and it didn't seem like it was completed yet, so I registered it as a favorite. The conversation between the two of them made me laugh, and I couldn't help but be so cute that they were so casual. I'm glad I read it to the point where Tachi's super positive and light impression completely changed.

今のところ

As of now

今のところ切ない意味を含めての泣きマークを選びましたがドキドキ♡含んでます。ここまでもあっさりさっくりでも奥が深い、読んでいて先が楽しみで仕方ありません。読んだことのない作家さんだったので、他の作品探したいと思いました。

So far, I've chosen a crying mark that includes a sad meaning, but it includes Doki Doki ♡. It's so simple yet so deep, and I can't help but look forward to reading it. It was an author I hadn't read, so I wanted to look for other works.
