One of my favourites

It’s just like IRL, a series of wants that meet contradictions to beliefs and what’s right. It’s making sacrifices for your priorities, and in this case, the boy’s priorities was the man he met during freedom.

An Amazing unique story

This review contains spoilers. Beautiful story, breath of fresh air from how different the plot was, compared to other bl stories nowadays. The way the creator showed how theo said goodbye to his Amish lifestyle was done so well I burst into tears. I see myself reading this again and again.

This review contains spoilers. 全然知らない世界のことで初めて知る話ばかりでなん本当深い話で感動した　ファンタジーじゃなく実世界ってとこがすごいな

This review contains spoilers. There are only stories I know for the first time about worlds I don't know at all, and it's amazing that it's really deep stories, not fantasy, but the real world

とても良かったー！

That was great!

皆様がレビューで書かれている通り、映画を観ているようなそんな感覚でした。表情がステキでテンポが心地よくセリフがたくさんではないのに心に沁みる作品でした。2人のこれからも読んでみたいです。

As everyone wrote in their reviews, I felt like I was watching a movie. The expression was wonderful, the tempo was pleasant, and it sank into my heart even though there weren't many lines. I want to read them both from now on.

始終胸を締め付けられた。。

My chest was tightened from beginning to end..

This review contains spoilers. かなり前の作品ですが、読めて良かった。出てくるミュージシャンの名前や曲名に懐かしさを感じました。レッスン中のオズに渡された汚れたライターと、渡しに来た人の姿で、ベトナム戦争で亡くなったのか。。とわからせる所も上手いな、と思いました。あと、私もダニーがオズにキスしたのがわからなかったのですが、やっぱりダニーはテオに対して恋愛的な気持ちを抱いてたのかな、と。穢らわしいと叫んだのも自分も含めてなのでは？テオがオズにキスしてたから重ねてみた？、男性とそういう行為が出来るか試した？。。想像しかないですね。何より、始終作品に漂うせつなさに、胸を締め付けられ。。最後はハッピーエンドだとは思いますが、ニューヨークでの2人は幸せに暮らせてるのかな。。と、思いを馳せてしまいます。その後の2人を見てみたかったとは思いますが、1巻でこの内容、読みごたえは凄いです。ホント、お勧めです。

This review contains spoilers. It's a long time ago, but I'm glad I was able to read it. I felt nostalgic about the names of the musicians and songs that came up. Did they die in the Vietnam War in the form of the dirty lighter that was given to Oz during the lesson and the person who came to hand it to him? I thought they were also good at being able to understand. Also, I didn't understand that Danny kissed Oz, but I wonder if Danny had romantic feelings for Theo after all. Aren't you including yourself who shouted that it was filthy? Theo was kissing Oz, so did you try it again? Have you tried to see if you can do that kind of behavior with men?... I have no choice but to imagine. Above all, my heart was tightened by the lack of bustle that drifts through the work from beginning to end.. I think it was a happy ending at the end, but I wonder if the two of them in New York are living a happy life... It makes me think. I think I wanted to take a look at the 2 people after that, but it's amazing to read this content in volume 1. I really recommend it.

なんかすごかった

Something was amazing

This review contains spoilers. 1巻で完結とは思えないほど充実したお話でした。無知でアーミッシュのことは初めて知りましたが、漫画の中の特殊設定なのかと勘違いするほどわたしには馴染みのないコミュニティでした。テオは強くなりましたね。2人はどんな人生を送ったのでしょうか…。支え合って幸せでいてくれたらいいなぁジーンも気になる。。

This review contains spoilers. It was such a fulfilling story that I didn't think it would be completed in volume 1. I first learned about the Amish due to ignorance, but it was such an unfamiliar community to me that I misunderstood that it was a special setting in comics. Theo has gotten stronger, hasn't he? What kind of lives did the two live... It would be nice if they supported each other and stayed happy, I'm worried about Gene too..

ダニーの気持ちが分からなかった・・・

I didn't understand how Danny felt...

This review contains spoilers. 先に「親愛なるジーンへ」を読んでしまってから、こっちがある事に気づいた・・・こっちが先だった！「ジーン」の方でジーンが髪を切った後ぶつかった青年がこのオズだったのか！そして「ジーン」の２巻特装版の最後のストーリーでスケートリンクにいたのがこの2人か・・・ようやく繋がった！「ジーン」でのラストが個人的にモヤモヤが残るものだったので、こっちのラストは気持ちよく終わっててスッキリ拍手喝采でした！ただ、ダニーがなぜ馬小屋？でオズにキスしたのか分からなかった・・・そして最後、テオがクロエに言った「ダニーが恋をしているのはクロエだけ、僕に対する気持ちは恋とは違う」・・・んんん？？？実はダニーも、もしかしたらゲイ（バイ？）の可能性があってそれに悩んでて、テオの事も恋愛的にも好きだった？だから余計にテオとオズの男色行為に異常に嫌悪感を示して、確認の意味も含めてオズにキスした？それとも単に、テオが自分を捨ててまで欲するものはどれほどのものなのだという確認行為だった？？皆様の意見が知りたい・・・どんな形にせよ、テオに執着してたのは間違いないだろうけどクロエがいい女過ぎたな～髪をなびかせて「恋って素晴らしい呪いなのよ」かっこいい・・・！！好きなシーンの一つです

This review contains spoilers. I read “Dear Jean” earlier, then I realized that this one was there... this was the first one! The young man Gene bumped into after cutting his hair in the direction of “Gene” was this Oz! And I wonder if these two were at the skating rink in the last story of the 2-volume special edition of “Gene”... they finally connected! The last one in “Gene” left me personally fuzzy, so this last one ended comfortably and there was a refreshing round of applause! But why is Danny in the stable? I didn't know if they kissed Oz... and finally, Theo said to Chloe, “Chloe is the only person Danny is in love with, his feelings for me are different from love”... huh??? Actually, Danny is also probably gay (bi?) There was a possibility, and you were worried about it, and did you love Theo romantically? So they showed unusually disgust at Theo and Oz's masculine behavior, and kissed Oz, including the meaning of confirmation? Or was it simply an act of confirmation of how much things Theo wanted until he abandoned himself?? I want to know everyone's opinions... no matter what form it is, there's no doubt that she was obsessed with Theo, but Chloe was too nice ~ fluttering her hair and “love is a wonderful curse” is cool...!! It's one of my favorite scenes

信じられない⋯

unbelievable...

「桜田先輩〜」や「藤咲忍〜」を描いた方と同じだなんて⋯⋯。なんかもう、言葉にならない切なさ。この感動を伝える語彙力が、私にはありません。登場人物それぞれの愛があり、苦悩がある。最後もハッピーエンドのはずなのに、少しの悲しみもある。生きていくため⋯⋯他人とともに生きていくための取捨選択は誰しもに痛みや悲しみがあります。その選択を後悔せず、選んだパートナーと共に生きていきたいと改めて思いました。

It's the same as the person who drew “Sakurada Senpai ~” and “Fujisaki Shinobu ~”... It's kind of unspeakable sorrow. I don't have the vocabulary to convey this emotion. Each character has love and suffering. The end is supposed to have a happy ending, but there's also a little bit of sadness. To live... everyone has pain and sorrow when choosing to live with others. I didn't regret that choice, and I thought again that I wanted to live with the partner I chose.

本当の「アメリカ」がここにある

The real “America” is here

「親愛なるジーン」の前日譚。どっちがスピンオフなんだろ。たぶん、こちらを先に読んだ方がいいと思います。私も親愛なる…は未読ですが。アメリカって、現在でもこういう生活の村がある。あんなに最先端の国なのに。「自分らしく生きる」のか「家族のために生きる」のか、何が一番幸せなのか。クロエが一番悟っているのかも。けっこうリアルなお話だけど、テオもオズもよく飛び回り、ほどよくほっこりできます。

A prequel to “Dear Gene.” I wonder which one is the spin-off. I think you should probably read this first. I haven't read Dear Me... though. There are villages in America where people live like this even now. Even though it's such a cutting-edge country. What makes you happiest, “live your own way” or “live for your family”? Chloe is probably the most enlightened. It's a pretty realistic story, but both Theo and Oz fly around a lot, so you can relax just the right amount.

いやぁすごい！ロードショー

Wow, that's amazing! Roadshow

かもめの子で心掴まれて、読まなくちゃと他も購入。レビュアーの皆さんのタイトル見て内容読まなくてもこれはすごくいいだろうとあえてネタバレせずに読んだ。これから読むみなさんもそのまま読んだほうが盛り上がって読んでいけると思います。かなり読むことに集中するお話であり、小説のようで映画のようで漫画です。画の中に色が付いて見えるというかとても面白く深く切なく…そして幸せ。1人でも多く読んで感じて欲しい一冊です。そしてジーンとは、あの有名なジーンなのか？まだ読んでいなくて早く読まなくてはと焦っています。嬉しい焦りです

My heart was captured by Seagull Boy, and I bought others if I had to read them. I looked at the reviewers' titles and dared to read it without spoilers, thinking this would be great without reading the content. I think everyone who is going to read it will be more excited to read it as it is. It's a story that focuses quite a bit on reading, and it's like a novel, like a movie, and it's a comic. I can see colors in the picture, or rather, it's very interesting, deep, sad... and happy. I want as many people as possible to read and feel this book. And is Gene that famous Gene? I haven't read it yet and I'm impatient that I have to read it soon. I'm happy and impatient

こっちが先でした

This was first

This review contains spoilers. うっかり「親愛なるジーンへ」を先に読んでしまいましたが、あちらの方がスピンオフでした。ラムスプリンガとかの知識が無くても「親愛なる…」を読みにくくはなかったですし、ジーンの物語を知っていたからこそ、ダニーの執着にも似た異常な過保護さを理解できたのかなと思います。「ラムスプリンガの情景」と「親愛なるジーンへ」を読んで、半世紀程前の先人達がもがき悩みながらも見つけた生き方が今の自由や多様性に繋がってるんだなーと、感じました。根底にあるテーマが重めですが、登場人物達の人間味溢れる様子が物語を軽やかに読みやすくしてくれてます。BLの作品というより古の時代のドキュメンタリードラマを観てるようでした。

This review contains spoilers. I inadvertently read “Dear Jean” first, but that one was a spin-off. It wasn't difficult to read “Dear...” even without knowledge of Lamb Springa or anything, and I think it was precisely because I knew Gene's story that I was able to understand the abnormal overprotection similar to Danny's obsession. Reading “Scenes of Ramspringa” and “Dear Gene,” I felt that the way of life that our ancestors about half a century ago found while struggling and troubled is leading to today's freedom and diversity. The underlying theme is heavy, but the characters are full of humanity, making the story light and easy to read. It was more like watching a documentary drama from the olden days rather than a BL film.

ホント買って良かった！最近色々買ってもこれ！というものに出会えてなくて、評価が高くても、自分に合う合わないってあるなあと思ってたところにこの作品に出会いました。ハッピーエンドはやっぱり最高だし、切なさもいい。もうホントに最高てす。余韻て泣くの初めててす。

I'm really glad I bought it! Even though I've bought a lot recently, this is it! I wasn't able to come across anything called that, and even if it had high reviews, I came across this work when I thought there were things that didn't suit me. After all, happy endings are awesome, and so is sad. it's really awesome already. This is the first time I've cried in the afterglow.

全く異なる生まれの2人

2 people born completely different

バーで働きながら身体も売り夢を叶えようとしている受けと、アーミッシュの攻めがたまたま出会い2人の運命の歯車が動き出すお話です。生まれも育ちも考え方や価値観まで全く異なる２人ですが、それでも唯一無二の存在になっていく、切ないけど幸せで何度でも読み返したくなるお話です！オススメです！

It's a story about Shu, who works at a bar and is trying to make her dream come true by selling her body, and the Amish attack happens to meet and the cog of fate between the two begins to move. They are two completely different people born, raised, and have completely different ways of thinking and values, but even so, they are unique, and it's a sad yet happy story that makes you want to read it over and over again! I recommend it!

Reread it over and over

作品です。アーミッシュという原始的な生活をするということしか知らなかったですが、この作品を通じてコラムスプリンガーとは何か、村を出るか生涯を故郷で過ごすか人生を決める行事なんですね。ジーンという人がところどころで出てきます。テオ達は成功したのかな。気になります。

It's a work.

アーミッシュ

Amish

This review contains spoilers. という言葉を知らなかったので、この作品で初めて知りました。牧歌的な暮らしをしている青年がダンサー崩れの青年と出会ったことで様々な体験をしていくのはとても良かったし、これまで見えていなかったアーミッシュの閉鎖的な生活も考えさせられた。BLでこういう体験ができるとは思ってなかったので良い出会いでした。

This review contains spoilers. I didn't know the word, so I first learned about it in this work. It was great that a young man living an idyllic lifestyle had various experiences when he met a young man who had broken down as a dancer, and it also made me think about the closed life of the Amish that had not been seen until now. I never thought I'd be able to have this kind of experience in BL, so it was a great encounter.

純粋な恋とまっすぐな愛に感動！

I'm moved by pure love and straight love!

This review contains spoilers. 親愛なるジーンへを読みたくて、こちらを先に読んでおいたほうが良いとのレビューを参考に購入。アーミッシュの暮らしや考え方がよく分かり確かに親愛なるジーンへがより深く理解できました。こちらのお話は夢を諦めてニューヨクから田舎に逃げてきたダンサー受けとアーミッシュの純粋な青年攻めの話。アーミッシュの暮らしは300年前とあまり変わらない自給自足と、本も聖書以外読まないなど、ビックリな事ばかりですが、争いをしない怒らない民族との事で、今の時代から考えると深いなと思います。そんなアーミッシュの攻めが純粋で可愛く、天然ワンコで、好きな想いが溢れてる感じ。そして受けの心の傷も愛で癒してます。アーミッシュを出る事は永久追放だけど、それでも攻めを連れてニューヨークで夢を叶える事を選んだ受けの決意。作者さんの後書き通り、ハッピーエンドなのだけど、ヒリヒリ感は残る…そんな感じでした。とてもとても作者さんの絵やストーリーの深さは天才だと思います。

This review contains spoilers. I wanted to read Dear Gene, so I bought it by referring to reviews that it is better to read this first. I was able to understand the Amish lifestyle and way of thinking very well and certainly had a deeper understanding of my dear Jean. This story is about a dancer who gave up on her dream and ran away from New York to the countryside, and a pure Amish attack on a young man. The Amish lifestyle is self-sufficient, which is not much different from 300 years ago, and there are many surprising things, such as not reading books other than the Bible, but they are an unangry people who don't fight, so I think it's profound when you think about it from this day and age. Such Amish attacks are pure and cute, they are natural dogs, and it feels like they are full of feelings of love. Also, I am healing my heartbreak with love. Leaving the Amish was a permanent banishment, but even so, they chose to take the attack and make their dreams come true in New York. As the author wrote later, it had a happy ending, but a tingling feeling remained... it felt like that. I think the depth of the artist's paintings and story is a genius.

心から求めるものを手に入れるまで

Until you get what you really want

This review contains spoilers. 環境が異なる2人が出会い、手を取り合う。簡単に言ったらそういう事なのですが。宗教に根ざした集団で生まれ、生きてきたテオと夢破れたオズ。特別な時間を過ごした2人が惹かれ合う。幸せが何かなんて、誰にも決められない。だから、テオは再びオズの元へやってきて気持ちを伝えたんです。勇気があります。それは、かつて出て行ったジーンの背中を追うようで。何度も読み返し続けることができる素晴らしい作品だと思いました。強くお勧めします。

This review contains spoilers. Two people from different environments meet and hold hands. If I had to put it simply, that would be it. Theo, who was born and lived in a group rooted in religion, and Oz, whose dream was shattered. Two people who had a special time are attracted to each other. No one can decide what happiness is. So, Theo came back to Oz and conveyed his feelings. I have courage. It's like following Gene's back when she once left. I thought it was a wonderful work that I could keep reading over and over again. I highly recommend it.

「人生1度くらい…」好きなセリフです。

“About once in a lifetime...” is my favorite line.

数ページ読んで買ってよかったと思った。できればアーミッシュについて全く予備知識無しのほうが良かったかも知れない。私は過去映画やドキュメントなどでアーミッシュについて知っていたのでテオとオズの先に待ち受けるものの想像はできました。もしかしたら人生において欲しがった分手に入る人もいるかも知れない。でも、ほとんどの人が悩み時には誰かを泣かすことになるとわかっていながら進むか、誰かに寄り添うため夢を諦めるか。彼は覚悟を決め新たな人生の行く先を選択した。80年代の音楽のところはど真ん中だったのでちょっと上がりました。2人のその後があるらしいですが、電子や単行本で読めたらありがたいです。そしてこの作品は親愛なるジーンへと続くようです。もちろん読ませていただきます。あと、演出家のベネットがいい役どころでした。

I read a few pages and thought I was glad I bought it. If possible, it might have been better if I had no prior knowledge about the Amish at all. I knew about the Amish in past movies and documents, so I was able to imagine what lies ahead for Theo and Oz. Maybe there are people who get into the breakup they've wanted in their lives. But do most people move forward knowing they'll make someone cry when they're worried, or do they give up on their dreams in order to be close to someone? He made up his mind and chose where to go in his new life. The 80s music section was right in the middle, so it went up a bit. There seems to be a successor to the two, but I would be grateful if I could read it electronically or in a book. And it seems like this work continues on to Dear Gene. Of course I'll read it. Also, the director Bennett played a good role.

骨組みはコントみたいな内容なはずなのに！

The framework is supposed to be like a contest!

This review contains spoilers. 作者の後書きコメントにあった運命的な出会い、禁断の恋、紆余曲折を経て結婚式に乗り込んで恋人かっさらう！コントみたいな話ってのを読むまで全くそう思えないくらい物語に引き込まれてしまいました。あらすじだけを見たらコントみたいな展開なはずなのにそうは全く感じられなくて、愛しくて苦しくてどうしようもない気持ちが伝わってきます。アーミッシュという文化？宗教を初めて知りましたが、文化的な背景を知らなくても充分楽しめます！クロエの恋という呪いという言葉と、髪を見せる描写でクロエの葛藤も表現されたところにもグッときてしまいました。あの数コマで伝えたい情報が沢山伝わる感じ。誰しもが少なからず諦めや妥協しながら過ごしている環境に呪いのように縛られている彼女の気持ちに共感してしまった。きっとそんな人が沢山いたのかな(まだいるのかな？)と想像します。家族も人には見えない歪みや呪いみたいなものが人それぞれ受け継がれているのが人間だと思うから、アーミッシュの家族観は独特なものかも知れないけれど、アーミッシュではないオズの父親との繋がりの描写を入れることでより身近なものに感じられるし、そんなオズの気持ちを掬い上げるのが独特な家族観の中で育ったであろうテオっていうのが泣かせます。素敵な恋だな、愛だなって感じさせてくれる。ただただ好きとかえっちなだけじゃなくて人間らしさを描きながらも綺麗に物語がまとまってて素晴らしすぎる。。。

This review contains spoilers. After a fateful encounter, forbidden love, and twists and turns that were mentioned in the author's afterword comments, they got into the wedding and let's get away with their lover! I was so drawn into the story that I didn't think so at all until I read a story like a contest. If you just look at the synopsis, it's supposed to unfold like a contest, but it doesn't feel like that at all, and it conveys a feeling of love, pain, and helplessness. Amish culture? I'm new to religion, and I can enjoy it even if I don't know a cultural background! I was taken aback by the word Chloe's love curse and the fact that Chloe's conflict was also expressed in the depiction showing her hair. I feel like that a lot of information I want to convey in those few frames is conveyed. I sympathized with her feeling of being bound like a curse by an environment where everyone is spending their time giving up and compromising. I'm sure there were a lot of people like that (are there still?) I imagine that. I think it's human that families have inherited things like distortions and curses that people can't see, so the Amish family view may be unique, but by including a depiction of the connection with Oz's father who isn't Amish, you can feel it more familiar, and scooping up Oz's feelings makes Theo cry, who probably grew up in a unique family view. It makes me feel like it's a wonderful love, it's love. It's so wonderful that the story is beautifully organized while depicting human nature, not just like it...

胸を打つ作品

Heart-breaking work

This review contains spoilers. 物語の冒頭にて「アーミッシュ」という言葉を見たとき、私が一番に思い出したのは10年以上前に、アメリカで起きたアーミッシュを標的とした残忍な銃乱射事件でした。驚くのは事件の悲惨さだけではなく、なんとアーミッシュは事件の犯人を「赦す」とし、罰することを望まなかったのです。私は当時、そのニュースに衝撃を受け、「え！？殺人犯を赦すなんて理解不能だ」と思いました。そして、令和の今…まさか漫画でアーミッシュに触れる日が来るなんて！少し興奮気味で、アーミッシュに関する興味本位と高評価のレビュー見て購入を決意しました。うん。買って良かった！本当に良かった。宗教、恋愛、時代背景、性的マイノリティ、全てバランスよく盛り込まれていて、作者様の教養の深さが窺えます。お気に入りのシーンは沢山ありますが、まず最初に泣けたのは、テオがアーミッシュの村にオズを招き、夜二人きりになったところでテオの懇願によりオズがダンスを披露するシーンです。踊り終えたあとオズが父親に対する思いを吐露し、涙を流す描写は本当に感動的でした。これはテオがオズの機微に初めて触れたシーンでもあったと思います。さらに、テオがオズを抱きしめ「父は怒っていないよ」と慰めます。個人的にこのセリフはキリスト教徒であるテオらしさ(説明が難しいですが、赦しの精神みたいなもの)を感じました。それからもう一つ大好きなシーン。それは物語の終盤、オズが覚悟を決めてテオを村まで迎えに行き、ついに自分の気持ちを伝えるシーンで、オズの表情が4コマに渡って描かれているのですが、あの顔をしかめたような表情が私の心にぶっ刺さりました。きっと、気持ちを伝えるにあたって、不安、勇気、喜び、色んな感情がオズの中で渦巻いたんだろうなぁ。と、私はそう思いました。最後に二人は結ばれますが、おおうでを振って喜ぶ気持ちにはなれず、どこか哀愁の漂う奥深い作品でした。テオはこれからどんな人たちと出会い、何を知って何を思うのか、オズは自分との葛藤を乗り越えてまた舞台で日の目を浴びることは出来るのか…。こんなふうに、読み終えた後も二人のことを沢山考えてしまいました。とっても素敵な漫画に出会えました。作者様ありがとう！！！親愛なるジーンもすごく良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. When I saw the word “Amish” at the beginning of the story, the first thing I remembered was the brutal mass shooting targeting the Amish that occurred in America over 10 years ago. What was surprising was not only the misery of the incident, but the Amish wanted to “forgive” the culprit of the incident and not punish them. I was shocked by the news at the time and said, “Huh!? I thought, “It's incomprehensible to forgive a murderer.” And now in Reiwa... I can't believe the day will come when people touch the Amish in comics! I was a little excited and decided to buy it after looking at the curious and highly rated reviews about the Amish. yeah. I'm glad I bought it! It was really nice. Religion, romance, historical backgrounds, and sexual minorities are all included in a well-balanced manner, and you can see the depth of the author's education. There are many favorite scenes, but the first one that made me cry was the scene where Theo invited Oz to an Amish village, and when they were alone at night, Oz performed a dance due to Theo's begging. The depiction of Oz expressing his feelings for his father after finishing the dance and shedding tears was really moving. I think this was also the scene where Theo first came into contact with the subtleties of Oz. Furthermore, Theo hugs Oz and comforts him by saying, “My father isn't mad.” Personally, I felt that this line is typical of Theo being a Christian (it's hard to explain, but it's like a spirit of forgiveness). And then another scene I love. It was a scene at the end of the story, where Oz made up his mind and went to pick Theo up to the village, and finally conveyed his feelings, and Oz's expression was depicted over 4 frames, and the expression that seemed to grimace stuck in my heart. I'm sure anxiety, courage, joy, and various emotions swirled in Oz when conveying my feelings. That's what I thought. At the end, the two were united, but they didn't feel happy when they waved their covers, and it was a profound work with a sense of sorrow. What kind of people will Theo meet in the future, what do they know and what do they think, and will Oz be able to overcome his conflict with himself and bask in the light of day on stage again... Like this, I thought a lot about the two of them even after I finished reading it. I was able to find a very nice comic. Thanks to the author!!! My dear Gene was also very nice.
