扉を開ける、に同感しました

I agree with Open the Door

やらない後悔より、やってしまった後悔を選ぶことが多いのでこれからも人生の扉はなるべく開けてみようと感じました

I often choose the regrets I did over the regrets I didn't do it, so I felt like I would continue to open the doors of my life as much as possible

涙出る

I'm in tears

電子漫画で泣いたの初めてかもです。お互いの気持ちが丁寧に描かれていて、体の誇張や無理やりとかなくて読みやすい。感情が呼応しやすい作品で、購入に迷いなし。

Maybe this is the first time I've cried in an electronic comic. Their feelings for each other are carefully depicted, and it's easy to read without exaggerating or overdoing their bodies. It is a work that easily resonates with emotion, so there is no hesitation in purchasing it.

ある物語

A story

This review contains spoilers. 作品内容自体は物語のつながりがあるような感じの　オムニバス形式の物語でございまして　各種　話の主人公　ごとに　様々な悩みに直面しますが　その悩みというのがなかなかにセンセーショナルな内容なので　人によっては共感するか不快に思うか　と　様々に分かれるかもしれませんが　私個人と　とても興味深い内容なので面白いです。かなり楽しいので　おすすめです

This review contains spoilers. The content of the work itself is an omnibus style story with a feeling that there is a connection between the stories, and each protagonist of the various stories faces various problems, but since those worries are quite sensational, they may be divided in various ways depending on the person whether they sympathize with them or feel uncomfortable, but it's interesting because the content is very interesting to me personally. It's pretty fun, so I recommend it

やさしい気持ち

A gentle feeling

あるある！っていう共感シーンの感情を優しい言葉で表現してて、読んでいるうちに浄化されるような気持ち。人との関わりって良いなって思い出させてくれる作品。にしても最後の終わり方、続きが気になりすぎる。。。

There is there! The emotion of the empathy scene is expressed in kind words, and it feels like being purified as you read it. It's a work that reminds me how good it is to get involved with people. Even so, I'm too worried about how it ended at the end and the continuation...

次の更新はいつなんだろ

I wonder when the next update is

ずーっと楽しみにしてます。でも、更新が全く無いです。もう、こっちばかり、歳をとってしまう、、作者さんの体調が悪いのかな、私も仕事好きじゃないし、作者さんはストーリー考えないといけないし。待つしか仕方ないよね、

I've been looking forward to it for a long time. But there are no updates at all. I'm getting old all this time... I wonder if the author is unwell, I don't like my job either, and the author has to think about the story. There is no choice but to wait, right?

I want you to read up to 10 volumes.

女ですが男泣きしました。最初から知っていた情報ではあったけど、この回を泣かないで読める人っているのかな？とりあえず10巻までは読んで欲しいです。

Although it was a woman, the man cried. It was information I knew from the beginning, but I wonder if there are people who can read this episode without crying? Anyway, I want you to read up to 10 volumes.

幸せハッピーエンドになってほしい…！！！

I want it to have a happy happy ending...!!!

内容がとてもおもしろくてハマりました！女性向けの漫画だと、だいたい出てくる男キャラはイケメンだったりお金持ちだったりと理想の男性ばかり出てきますが、鍵谷さんは、どこかにいそうな普通な男性というところがとてもよかったです。まいこは、かわいらしいOLで、性格も明るくて、地味でも派手過ぎでもなくちょうどいい感じです。漫画の絵柄もかわいいですし、まいこも鍵谷さんも2人ともほんかわしていて、とても好きです。物語はまだ完結していませんが、完結するとしたら、主役2人はハッピーエンドになりますようにと願っています…！！！

The content was very interesting and I was addicted to it! When it comes to comics aimed at women, the male characters that usually appear are only ideal men, such as handsome or rich, but it was really nice that Mr. Kagitani is an ordinary man who seems to be somewhere. Maiko is a cute office lady, has a bright personality, and is just right without being plain or too flashy. The comic designs are cute, and both Maiko and Kagitani are really cute, and I really like them. The story isn't finished yet, but if it does, I hope the two protagonists will have a happy ending...!!

かわいいがすぎる

It's too cute

This review contains spoilers. 13巻まで読みました。前に読んでて新刊が出てて買って…って追いかける漫画はほぼないのでいつ読んでも面白いです。定期的に読み返したくなる。レビューを読んで香坂さんの下の名前がまい子だと思い出し、かわいいのに全然出てこないじゃーんと思いましたが、あの2人にはずっとお互い苗字で呼びあっててほしい願望もあり複雑です笑　今後まい子呼びしてくれるキャラが出てくれば最高だなぁ〜職場の先輩の下げムーブは女だとあるあるだなぁと思いつつ、2人の問題だしまだ会ったこともない後輩の彼氏に対して失礼だなぁと思いました。自分も子供がいて産後鬱にもなりましたが、独身で彼氏ができたばかりの幸せな女の子（しかも職場の後輩）にあんなこと絶対言わない。むしろもっと聞かせてくれよ幸せな時期の話を。って思うけどな…。旦那が非正規か正規かより好きじゃなくなってたり尊敬できなかったら産後鬱になってなくても嫌。損得勘定でリアルに考えるタイプかその時の感情で生きていくタイプか女の中にも2種類あると思っていてまい子は後者だと思う。鍵谷さんが好きな気持ちを大事にしてください。あと産後鬱はすぐ受診してほしい！1人や家族内だけで頑張らなくていいです！

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 13 volumes. There are almost no comics that chase after reading before and a new edition comes out and buy... so it's interesting no matter when you read them. I want to reread it regularly. Reading the review, I remembered that Kosaka-san's first name was Maiko, and even though they were cute, I thought it wouldn't come up at all, but it's complicated because of the desire that those two people would always call each other by their last name lol it would be great if characters that would call them Maiko come out in the future ~ while thinking that Senpai at work can be lowered by a woman, I thought it was a problem between the two and that was disrespectful to a junior boyfriend they've never met. I also had children and became depressed after giving birth, but I would never say that to a happy girl who is single and has just had a boyfriend (and a junior at work). Rather, let me hear more stories about happy times. I think... If I don't like or respect my husband more than whether he's irregular or regular, I don't like it even if I don't get depressed after giving birth. I think the latter is the type that thinks realistically with profit and loss accounts, or the type that lives with the emotions of that time, or the type that thinks that there are 2 types of women. Please cherish Kagitani's feelings of love. Also, I want you to see a medical examination for postpartum depression right away! You don't have to work hard alone or with your family!

すごくいい！

Very nice!

最近呼んだ漫画の中でダントツに良いです！年代や性別も色々な人達がそれぞれのドラマを持っていて、そしてその中での主人公の話しの進みは楽しみで仕方ないです！そして、漫画には珍しく何度も読み返してます！とても幸せになれるお話しです。出会えてよかった…

It's by far the best comic I've invited recently! People of all ages and genders have their own dramas, and I can't help but look forward to how the main character's story progresses in it! Also, I reread it over and over again, which is unusual for comics! It's a story that makes me very happy. I'm glad we met...

親近感がありつい読み進めてしまう…

There is a sense of familiarity and I just read on...

色々な人物が登場してますが、それぞれの感情や思いが繊細に描かれていて、同じような経験の場面で共感の嵐でした。それに、一人ひとりに辛いことや苦しいこと、悩んでいることがあって、それを乗り越えながら、人は生きていくんだなあと感じれて、ちょっぴりだけど、他人に優しくなれるような気がします。

Various characters have appeared, and their feelings and thoughts were delicately depicted, and it was a storm of sympathy in scenes of similar experiences. Also, each person has painful things, painful things, and worries, and while overcoming them, I feel that people live their lives, and even though it's a little bit, I feel like they can be kind to others.

みんなが主人公の物語

A story where everyone is the protagonist

気づけば最新刊まで一気読みしてました。主人公が決まってて、それを取り巻くキャラクター視点の話があるお話は他にもありますが尺繋ぎなのかなと思う描き方、中途半端なスポットの当て方をしてる作品もあってあんまり好きではありません。けどこちらの作品はそれぞれのキャラクターが主人公ってくらいそれぞれの視点や人生観が描かれています。その中でも鍵谷さんのお父さんのお話には感動して泣いてしまいました。恋愛、結婚、子育て、夫婦関係、生き方…いろんなジャンルで殻（瓜）を被ってるキャラクターたちが苦悩し勇気を出して行動することで、それぞれの瓜を割る物語ってメッセージが込められてるのかなと思いながら読んでます。最新刊とても楽しみにしています！！！

Before I knew it, I was reading all the time until the latest edition. The main character has been decided, and there are other stories that surround it from the character's point of view, but I don't really like it because there are works that are drawn in a way that makes you think they are strangely connected, and there are also works that hit half-hearted spots. Kedochi's works depict each point of view and outlook on life to the extent that each character is the main character. Among them, I was moved by Kagitani's father's story and I cried. Romance, marriage, child-rearing, marital relationships, way of life... I'm reading it while wondering if it contains a story where the characters wearing shells (melons) in various genres suffer and act with courage to break their own melons. I'm really looking forward to the latest edition!!!

ずっと見ていたい恋

Love I Want to Watch Forever

とにかくまい子と鍵谷さんが尊い。大人ながらも恋をするまい子の様子とか仕草がすごく可愛くて、鍵谷さんのことで一喜一憂するとこも良くて、心情の変化に引き込まれます。また、表情がリアルかつ思惑が伝わってきていいです。鍵谷さんの顔がかわいくてたまりません。作者さんの目と唇の描き方にこだわりを感じて好きです。

Anyway, Maiko and Kagitani are precious. The appearance and gestures of Maiko, who is in love even though she is an adult, are so cute, and she is often sad about Kagitani, and she is drawn into the change in her mood. Also, it's nice that the facial expressions are realistic and conveys speculation. Kagitani's face is so cute that it's irresistible. I like it because I feel that the artist is particular about how he draws his eyes and lips.

I haven't been addicted to it in a long time!!

人物描写がリアルで設定もちゃんとしてる。もう３回読みました！2人が直面する初めてはピュアで可愛いです(*^ω^*)お父さんの話しで泣いちゃいました(;_;)2人の今後が気になります✨

The portrayals of the characters are realistic and the settings are proper. I've read it 3 times already! The first time they faced each other was pure and cute (*^ω^*) I cried because of my dad's story (; _;) I'm worried about their future ✨

鍵谷さんがマジで尊い！！！

Kagitani is really precious!!!

This review contains spoilers. 大前提、こちらの作品は大好きです！色んな登場人物が居てその一人一人に色んなドラマがある。育ってきた環境も違えば、性格も容姿も違って当たり前。それぞれに、各々の価値観や考え方があり色々と考えさせられる部分が沢山あり素晴らしい漫画です！特に、主人公のまい子と鍵谷さんの話が大好きなので2人の話は何度も読み返してますし恋愛経験の少ない2人が一生懸命向き合って頑張ってるところにキュンとします。そしてとにかく鍵谷さんが魅力的で尊い！！！だからこそ、86話に物申したい！職場の2人！主に先輩！！鍵谷さんのこと何にも知らないのにただ正社員でないという現状や年齢歳が下なことなど表面的なことだけであーだこーだ勝手に言い過ぎるのやめてーーー。鍵谷さんは、まい子のことを真剣に考えて免許取りに教習所行ったり資格取ろうと勉強したり正社員になろうと努力してるし今正社員じゃないのも将棋を頑張ってたって努力の過去があるからでいい加減に遊んでたわけじゃないから！まい子を心配してるから言ってると言いながら自身の産後鬱体験談や一般論的な話で不安にさせててこういうの本当に無責任だし良くないよ…。最後にまい子！色々言われて不安になっちゃうのは分かるけど持ち前の可愛くて素直で優しいところが魅力だから色々頑張ってる鍵谷さんをもっと信じてあげて早く2人で幸せになって欲しいです。応援してます！追記：鍵谷さんの、両親の話がこれまた激ヤバで…めっちゃ泣いてしまいました。もうこれを見たら、益々鍵谷さんには幸せになって欲しいと思ってしまいました。

This review contains spoilers. Great premise, I love this work! There are various characters, and each one of them has a variety of dramas. It is natural that if you grew up in a different environment, your personality and appearance will be different. They each have their own values and ways of thinking, and there are lots of parts that make you think a lot, so it's a wonderful comic! In particular, I love the story of the main characters Maiko and Kagitani, so I've reread the story of the two over and over again, and I'm amazed that the two people with little romantic experience are facing each other so hard and doing their best. And anyway, Kagitani is charming and precious!! That's why I want to say it in episode 86! 2 people at work! Mainly seniors!! You don't know anything about Mr. Kagitani, but don't talk too much about him without permission just about superficial things such as the current situation where he is not a full-time employee or that he is younger. Kagitani is seriously thinking about Maiko and is making an effort to become a full-time employee by going to a driving school to get her license, studying to get a qualification, and the reason she's not a full-time employee now is because she is working hard at shogi and has a past of hard work, so it's not like she was playing casually! While saying that I'm saying it because I'm worried about Maiko, it makes me uneasy with my own experiences of postpartum depression and general theory, and this kind of thing is really irresponsible and not good... Finally Maiko! I know being told a lot of things makes me feel uneasy, but the cute, honest, and kind things he has are attractive, so I want them to believe in Mr. Kagitani, who is working so hard, even more, and that the two of them become happy as soon as possible. I'm rooting for you! Additional note: Kagitani's story about her parents was extremely dangerous again... I cried so much. Once I saw this, I wanted Kagitani to be happier more and more.
