キュンもありリアル感もあり！

There's also Kyun, and there's a sense of realism!

This review contains spoilers. 単話で追って単行本も買っちゃうくらい今ハマり中！キャラみんなリアルで良いんです。個人的には染井さんと夫、あとは鍵谷さんのお父さんが好き。主人公は…何故頑張らない！？もしかしてこれも後の主人公としての課題にするのかな？だと良いな。まず！料理しない…ネトフリとか良いから料理して欲しい。細かいけど鍵谷さんのシャワー中にお湯使って洗い物も正直嫌だった。（お湯の出悪っ！とか書いてあってやめたげてよ！と。）相手がシャワーしてる時に洗い物するって自分には出来ないな、悪いなと思います。出てくるキャラの中には恋人をタイまで追いかけたり離婚を頑張って決意したり鍵谷さんは会社の正社員試験に運転免許色々頑張っているのにまい子はなぜ何もしないんだろう。作者さんの意図的だったら嬉しい。読書としてはまい子に呆れる事が多いけど、丁寧にお礼言えたりすごく良い人ではあるから期待してしまいます。推しに成長して欲しい傲慢なオタクみたいなレビューになってしまいごめんなさい…。でもとにかく全話面白いので何周もしてます！

This review contains spoilers. I'm so addicted to it right now that I followed it up with a single episode and bought a book too! It's nice that all the characters are real. Personally, I like Somei-san and her husband, and Kagitani's father. The main character... why doesn't he try hard!? Could it be that this will also be an issue for the protagonist later? That's good. first! I don't cook... Netofuri is good, so I want them to cook. It's fine, but to be honest, I didn't like washing with hot water during Kagitani's shower. (Hot water is coming out bad! It says something like that, so stop it! and.) I think it's bad that I can't do the washing when my partner is in the shower. Among the characters that appear, I wonder why Maiko doesn't do anything, even though Kagitani is working hard to complete her driver's license exam by chasing her lover all the way to Thailand and making up her mind to get divorced. I would be happy if the author was intentional. As a reader, I'm often amazed by Maiko, but I'm looking forward to it because she can say thank you carefully and is a very nice person. I'm sorry that the review turned out to be an arrogant nerd who wants you to grow up... But anyway, all of the episodes are interesting, so I've been doing it for many laps!

人権を尊重したコミュニケーション

Communication that respects human rights

This review contains spoilers. お互いの人格を尊重し、探り合いながら、相手を思いやるボディータッチで性欲を深め合う二人。不器用でも、支え合いの大切さが丁寧に描かれている。

This review contains spoilers. They respect each other's personalities, and while exploring each other, they deepen their sexual desires with a body touch that cares for the other person. The importance of supporting each other, even when clumsy, is carefully depicted.

最後ここで終わるのかぁ…！

I wonder if it will end here at the end...!

This review contains spoilers. 42歳女なので同世代です。私は結婚して子どもが1人いますが、本当にたまたまのタイミングでそうなっただけで、元々結婚&子ども願望はゼロでした。だからとても他人事とは思えないよ〜〜まさか名雪さんとくっつくご都合展開にはならんやろと思ってたけど、ここからどう展開していくのかな？次巻楽しみにしてます！主人公カップルのお誕生日当日のお祝いが尊すぎて目が潰れました?辻ちゃんの引っ越しは泣けましたし、派遣の子のカップルの話もなるほどなとなって情緒不安定です（そして名前が覚えれない40代の私…）

This review contains spoilers. I'm a 42-year-old female, so I'm of the same generation. I'm married and have 1 child, but it just happened at a really random timing, and originally I had zero desire to get married and have children. So I really don't think it's someone else's affair ~ ~ I thought it wouldn't be a convenient development that would stick with Mr. Nayuki, but how will it unfold from here on out? I'm looking forward to the next volume! The main character couple's birthday celebration was so precious that my eyes were crushed? Tsuji-chan's move made me cry, and the story of the couple with the dispatched child became so bad that I was emotionally unstable (and I'm in my 40s who can't remember their names...)

男ですがハマっています

I'm a man but I'm addicted

女性漫画を滅多に読むこともないのですがこちらの作品はとても引き込まれます。様々な女性の心情、悩みについて描かれており異性の気持ちを理解する上でも勉強になっていたりします。

I rarely read comics about women, but this work really draws me in. It depicts the feelings and worries of various women, and it is also a learning experience in understanding the feelings of the opposite sex.

面白い！

interesting!

This review contains spoilers. 他の人もレビューで書いてるけど、登場人物それぞれのストーリーがどれも面白い！あと、共感できるところもある。まだ関係性が構築できてない異性と会う前とか、何故かちょっと面倒くさいと思うけど、会うと結局楽しいんだよねーとか。自分に自信が無いとか卑屈になる気持ちもめちゃめちゃわかる！泣ける話も良かった。会えなくてモヤモヤしてる気持ちを、友人からアドバイス貰う話もとても素敵。とてもオススメ！

This review contains spoilers. Other people have written reviews, but the stories of each character are all interesting! Also, there are things I can sympathize with. I think it's a bit bothersome for some reason, like before you meet someone of the opposite sex that you haven't built a relationship with yet, but after all, it's fun when you meet them. I also really understand the feeling of not having confidence in oneself or being subservient! The story that made me cry was good too. The story of getting advice from a friend about feeling confused about not being able to meet is also very nice. Highly recommended!

いい意味でのギャップ

Gap in a good sense

This review contains spoilers. 思ってたのと違い主人公カップルだけでなく、次々と主人公の周りの人間模様が描かれて、人それぞれいろいろあるんだなぁと共感しまくる、一気に12巻まで読了

This review contains spoilers. Unlike what I expected, not only the main character couple, but also human patterns around the main character are drawn one after another, and I sympathize with the fact that each person has various things, and I read up to 12 volumes at once

大好きな作品

Favorite work

登場人物それぞれのストーリーがどれも面白い。性格も立場も年齢も色々なのにどれも共感できる。みんな結局悪い人いないし、とても平和。鍵谷さんのお父さんとお母さんの話は…死んじゃってるから当然泣いちゃうんだけど、セリフがどれもいいんだよな〜。あと印象に残ってるのは派遣社員のれんちゃんの話、はじめはモヤるな〜と思ったけど最後には穏やかな気持ちになれて何度も読み返しちゃった。そしてもちろん主のストーリー主人公と鍵谷さんはすごく良いです。ずーっと続いてほしい、いろーんな人の人生の大事な場面を垣間見させてほしい。

Each character's story is interesting. There are many personalities, positions, and ages, but I can sympathize with them all. After all, there are no bad people, and they are very peaceful. The story of Kagitani's father and mother... they're dead, so of course I cried, but all of the lines are fine. What also left an impression on me was the story of Ren-chan, a temporary employee. At first, I thought it was confusing, but at the end I felt calm and reread it over and over again. And of course, the main character in the main story and Mr. Kagitani are really good. I want them to continue for a long time, and I want them to catch a glimpse of important scenes in the lives of various people.

登場人物みんなに共感！

I sympathize with all the characters!

This review contains spoilers. 主人公カップルの初々しさも良いし、主人公の周りの人たちもみんな素直で一生懸命で愛おしい。最初は原くんとお付き合いするのかと思ったけど、そういう予想も軽やかに裏切ってくれる展開が良き。12巻まで一気読みしてしまったけど、もう続きが読みたくて仕方ない！ある人は新しくお付き合いを始めて、ある人は自分の好きなことを追いかけて、ある人はお別れして新しい人生を始めて…と、人生の悲喜交々が描かれているのに全然重すぎない。たぶん登場人物みんなが葛藤しながらも前向きだからだと思う。自分もこんなふうに誰かからみたら愛おしくなるくらい一生懸命に生きられてるのかな？もしそうなんだとしたら、いま悩んで足掻いているこの瞬間も悪くないなって思えてちょっと心が軽くなりました。年代性別問わずにおすすめしたいです。

This review contains spoilers. The freshness of the main character couple is also good, and everyone around the main character is honest, hardworking, and adorable. At first, I thought I was going out with Hara-kun, but it's a good development that lightly betrayed those predictions. I've read up to 12 volumes at once, but I can't help but want to read more! Some people start a new relationship, some go after what they like, and others say goodbye and start a new life... but it's not too heavy at all. I think it's probably because all the characters are conflicted yet positive. I wonder if I'm living so hard that it makes me feel adorable when viewed from someone else's point of view? If that were the case, I felt a little lighter because I thought this moment when I was worried and scratching my feet right now wasn't bad either. I would recommend it regardless of age or gender.

キュンキュンします（笑）

I'm going to cringe (laughs)

This review contains spoilers. とにかく主人公格の2人(香坂さんと鍵谷さん)が初々しくてホワホワしたりニヤニヤしたりします。色んなことがあっても、うまく行って欲しい、幸せな未来を祈って応援したい。そんな気持ちにさせてくれます。また、脇の人たちもそれぞれの感情や人生があるのだなぁとそれぞれ感じ入り、群像劇としてもすこぶる優れています。早く新刊出て欲しい！

This review contains spoilers. Anyway, the two main characters (Kosaka-san and Kagitani-san) are fresh and make me feel so excited and smirking. No matter how many things happen, I want them to go well, and I want to support them by praying for a happy future. It makes me feel like that. Also, I can feel that the people on the side have their own feelings and lives, and it's also excellent as a group drama. I want the new publication to come out soon!

話題作とは知っていましたが

I knew it was a popular work

This review contains spoilers. マジで良かった…。ぐんぐん読みふけってしまった。絵もソフトなのに、タイトルが「瓜を破る」。何かありそうな暗雲感で読み進めると、処女をこじらせている主人公香坂さんのモヤモヤがしばらく続きます。会社で鍵谷さんとは出会っていても、いちキャストとして放置。作者さん、凄い勇気！(他の作品ならこんなに長尺で結ばれる人を放置しないってことで、賞賛しております)でも、鍵谷さんが作品において、最重要人物であることは勘付きました。ただならぬ雰囲気が鍵谷さんから出てて。2人のやり取り、ゲーセンの件とかも、素の香坂さんが出てて、これは良さげだなと私も手応えを感じちゃったり(笑)痛々しいほどのリアリティで、恥ずかしながら自分が結婚に至るまでを思い出した…自分の恋愛とか結婚を肯定してもらった気がする。高評価なのも納得。ありがとう、『瓜を破る』?ダンナを大事にします❣️

This review contains spoilers. I'm really glad... I've really indulged in reading it. Even though the picture is soft, the title is “Breaking the Melon.” If you read on with a sense of dark clouds that seem like something is likely to happen, the fuss of the main character, Kosaka-san, who is disturbing the virgin, continues for a while. Even though I met Mr. Kagitani at work, I left him alone as a cast member. The author is so brave! (Other works don't leave people connected over such a long period of time, and I admire him), but I understood that Mr. Kagitani is the most important person in the work. An unusual atmosphere came out of Mr. Kagitani. The exchange between the two, the original Kosaka-san also appeared, and this was a good thing, and I felt a response (laughs), and it was painfully realistic, and I shamefully remembered the process leading up to my marriage... I feel that my love and marriage were affirmed. I'm also convinced that it's highly rated. thank you, “break the melon”? I will take good care of Danna ❣️

等身大なのかもしれない

Maybe it's life-size

登場人物全員表向きの顔プライベートの顔があり、そして葛藤しながら少しずつ変わっていく姿に共感します。見た目や外からではわからないコンプレックスを持ちそれなりに上手くやっていこうとするけど上手くいかなかったり・・・ホワホワした絵柄ですがある意味現実的に描かれていて大好きな作品です。

All of the characters have outward faces and private faces, and I sympathize with how they change little by little while struggling. It has complexes that you can't understand from the outside, and they try to do reasonably well, but it doesn't work... the pattern is so cute, but in a sense, it's a realistic drawing, and I love it.

キュン超えてギュンだし涙もある

It's beyond kyun, it's gyun, and there are tears

高坂ちゃん＆千里カップルの恋愛が尊すぎます。付き合いたての感情はもう忘れてしまっていたけど、2人を見ているとこんなだったな〜〜と懐かしく思いつつ、不器用な千里くんが一生懸命向き合ってる感じに心臓鷲掴みされて胸がぎゅーってなりました。千里のお父さんの過去も切なくて涙がポロポロ溢れちゃって、みんな幸せになって欲しいと思いました。コロコロ視点が変わるので少し忙しいけれど、人には人の人生があるというのがよくわかる、新しいタイプの漫画でとても面白いです！大好きな作品です！！！！！！迷ってる方は是非！

The love between Takasaka-chan and Senri is too precious. I had already forgotten the feeling that they had just started dating, but when I was watching the two of them, I felt nostalgic that the clumsy Senri-kun was facing each other so hard, and my heart felt tight. Chisato's father's past was so sad that tears overflowed, and I wanted everyone to be happy. My point of view changes, so I'm a little busy, but it's a new type of comic where you can clearly understand that people have lives, and it's very interesting! I love this work!!!!! If you are unsure, don't miss it!

リアルなのにあたたかい世界！

It's a real yet warm world!

そもそも恋愛系の漫画はほとんど読まないのに、何故かこれには惹かれた！20代前半までとは違う、少し落ち着いた世代の生活であり、恋愛であり、別れでありが心地よく描かれている。また主人公的な2人だけでなく、その周りにいる人たちが話毎に主人公となり展開するのも良い。リアルを描く漫画なのに、悪意ある人が少ないからあたたかく感じるのかも。激しい展開はそこまでなくとも、読んでいて共感できたり、気付かされたり、応援したくなったりと、どの巻を読んでも楽しめるのが良いです。

I hardly read romance comics in the first place, but for some reason I was drawn to this! It is a different life from until the early 20s, of a slightly settled generation, and it is a love affair, and it is depicted gratefully and comfortably. Also, it's good that not only the two main characters, but also the people around them become the main characters in every story and unfold. Even though it's a comic that depicts reality, there are few people with bad intentions, so maybe it feels warm. Even if there aren't that intense developments, it's good that you can enjoy reading any volume, such as being able to sympathize with it, be noticed, and want to cheer for it.

親和性が高い

Highly compatible

This review contains spoilers. 磯部さんの年齢ではないけど、見た目に気を使わないとか現時点でわりとあるので、自分の未来の姿に近いかもな〜と思ったり、、、。まいこ×鍵谷カップルは相変わらず苗字呼びとはいえ敬語が取れてるところが段々増えているのを見るとじわじわ距離が縮まっているのを感じられて良きです。

This review contains spoilers. I'm not Isobe-san's age, but I don't care about my appearance at the moment, so I'm wondering if it might be close to what my future looks like... Even though the Maiko x Kagitani couple is still called by last name, it's nice to be able to feel that the distance is gradually shrinking when you see that the number of places where honorifics have been taken is gradually increasing.

描写がリアルすぎる

The depiction is too realistic

最近読んでる漫画の中で1位2位を争うお気に入りです！出てくる一人一人の心情がリアルすぎる、この一言に尽きる。全員の葛藤や日々の人生への向き合い方が本当に人間らしくて、うわ！私もこう思うから分かる〜！が誰のストーリーを読んでも感じるのが本当にすごい。親友だったらこういうこと言う、同僚だったらこれ、そんな好きじゃない人ならこれ、みたいな思考や心理描写もリアルで、作者さん一体何者？これだけの登場人物がいて全員のストーリーが気になるというのはなかなかないから、それだけ一人一人のキャラの設定がめちゃめちゃ細かく決まってて、そのうちの一つに必ず共感しちゃうところがあるからなんだろうなって思う。ケイタとレンが地味に好きだったから、最新刊で2人の関係ちょっと覗けて嬉しかった！これからも楽しみ〜！

It's a favorite that competes for 1st and 2nd place among comics I've been reading recently! The feelings of each person that comes up are too real, it all comes down to this one word. Everyone's way of dealing with conflicts and everyday life is really human, wow! I know because I think so too! It's really amazing that no matter who you read the story, you can feel it. Thoughts and psychological depictions such as if you were your best friend would say something like this, if your colleague would say this, and if you're someone you don't like, this is also realistic, so who the hell is the author? Since there are so many characters and it's not easy to get concerned about everyone's story, I think it's probably because the character settings for each person are decided in such detail, and there is something they always sympathize with. I soberly liked Keita and Ren, so I was happy to be able to peek a little bit into the relationship between the two in the latest issue! I'm looking forward to it from now on!
