頑張れ向井くん！

Hang in there, Mukai-kun!

スタイルも顔も悪くないのに、ちょっと残念な向井くん。優しいけど、優柔不断なところもあって、あの時、どうすれば良かったんだろう？と悩む向井くんに、どうすれば良かったんだろう？じゃなくて向井くんはどうしたかったの？と言うコウキが素敵です！

Even though his style and face aren't bad, Mukai-kun is a bit disappointing. They are kind, but they are also indecisive, so what should I do at that time? What should I do for Mukai-kun, who is worried about this? Not that, what did Mukai-kun want to do? Kouki who says that is wonderful!

見事なまでに…！

to the point where it was amazing...!

向井くんの見事なまでのタイミングの悪さと女運の無さったら！きっと優しすぎるんだろうなと思うのですが、優柔不断とも言いますよね。でも色々考えすぎてタイミング逃すのってよく分かる気がします。ねむようこさんの絵が好きで読み漁っていますが、いつもストーリーも「うんうん」って頷けるものも多く、大好きです。

What if Mukai-kun doesn't have good timing and no luck with women! I'm sure they're too kind, but they're also called indecisive. But I feel like I can really understand that I think too much and miss the timing. I like Yoko Nemu's paintings and read them a lot, but I always love the stories, and there are many things I can nod “yeah,” so I love them.

リアル男子

real boys

This review contains spoilers. なんとなくーで読んでみたら、もやもや～っと展開が気になってしまってまだもやもや～。考えてないようで、めっちゃ考えてる男子、リアルです。

This review contains spoilers. When I read it somehow, I was so worried about the development that it was still hazy. The boy who doesn't seem to be thinking and is thinking a lot is real.

心にくるリアルさ

Realism that comes to mind

この方の描く何とも言えない男性がとても好きです！ストーリーがとてもリアルで読んでいてとても心にきました。ドラマ化とのことなので、まずそちらからみて見ようと思います。

I really like this person's drawing of an indescribable man! The story was so realistic that I read it, and it really stuck in my heart. It's said to be a drama adaptation, so I think I'll watch it from there first.

男の人がへたれ

Men are disgustful

ねむさんの書く男の人は、いつも、スパダリや、少女漫画のカッコイイ男の子ではないのですが、そこがすごくいいと思います。

The man Nemu-san writes isn't always a cool boy from Spadari or girls' comics, but I think that's really good.

巻が進むごとに作品の深度が増していく

As the volume progresses, the depth of the work increases

最初は、いい歳してもかわいい顔してるけどちょっと不甲斐ない向井くんを、のんびり応援するスタンスで読んでいたはずなのに、現在の最新5巻まで読むと、元カノ美和子が抱える問題、そして美和子に対する向井くんの問題が見えてきて、そのどうしようもなさに打ちひしがれる気持ちがします。更に、対比的に描かれる妹夫婦の問題も相まって相乗効果が。5巻まで読めば自然と自分の人生も顧みてしまうでしょう。

At first, I should have read Mukai-kun, who has a cute face even at a good age but is a bit unfortunate, with a leisurely cheering stance, but when I read up to the current 5 volumes, I can see the problems my former girlfriend Miwako has, and Mukai-kun's problems with Miwako, and I feel devastated by the fact that there is nothing I can do about it. Furthermore, the problems of the younger sister and his wife, which are depicted in contrast, have a synergistic effect. If you read up to 5 volumes, you will naturally look back on your own life.

まあしかし軽々しく「守る！」なんて言葉は口にしてはいかんやろうなあ。この主人公も恋人に「自分を守れるか？」と聞かれた時に「守る！」と口に出来んかったからなあ。

Well, but lightly “protect!” I wonder if it's okay to say such words. This protagonist also asks his lover, “Can you protect yourself?” When asked, “Protect!” that's because I couldn't say it.

なんというリアルさ

What realism

向井くん…友達としてはいい、な感じなんでしょうね…。高校生くらいの感じ。派遣の女の子との話は、問題編、解決編の叙述ミステリをみているかのようでした。うーん。あざやか…（辛い

Mukai-kun... I guess it's a good feeling as a friend... I feel like I'm in high school. The conversation with the dispatched girl was as if I was watching a narrative mystery in the problem section and solution section. hmm. Vivacious... (painful

向井くん、そのまま、そのまま

Mukai-kun, just like that, just like

This review contains spoilers. 主人公の３５歳向井くんが元カノの美和子や友人の坂井戸、派遣社員の中谷さんと交流する中で恋愛において成長する姿をユーモラスに描いています。絵が綺麗で登場人物の表情や仕草などが、とても丁寧で繊細に表現されているのでストーリーに惹き込まれてしまいます。女性から見れば向井くんの鈍感さ、不器用さが目につくかも知れません。でもそこが向井くんの持ち味ですから・・・そのままで十分魅力的な男性だと思います。

This review contains spoilers. It humorously depicts the main character, 35-year-old Mukai-kun, growing up in love while interacting with her ex-girlfriend Miwako, friend Sakaido, and temporary employee Nakatani. The pictures are beautiful, and the expressions and gestures of the characters are expressed so carefully and delicately that I am drawn into the story. If you look at it from a woman's point of view, you may notice Mukai-kun's insensitivity and clumsiness. But that is Mukai-kun's specialty... I think he's an attractive enough man just the way he is.

マッチョイズム

machismo

石器時代じゃあるまいし、「男は女を守るもの」って言われたら、何から？ってなるよね。いつまでもパルプフィクション最高な中年、身に覚えがあって哀しい。

It's not the Stone Age, and if people say “men protect women,” what do you start with? It's going to be like that. Pulp Fiction is always the best middle age, I remember it and it's sad.

おもしろかった！

That was interesting!

好きな俳優さんが主演するということで購入。「分かる〜」って共感したり「いやいやそれはダメでしょ〜」とツッコミを入れてみたり感情移入しながら楽しく見れる作品でした！向井くんについては情けないところもあるんだけど、どこか魅力的で応援したくなるキャラクターで彼のこれからが楽しみです！

I bought it because my favorite actor would star in the lead role. It was a work that I could enjoy watching while empathizing with “I understand” and putting in tsukkomi saying “no no, that's no good!” while empathizing with it! There's something pitiful about Mukai-kun, but I'm looking forward to his future because he's a character that is somewhat charming and makes me want to cheer for him!

なんともリアル〜

it's so real~

This review contains spoilers. すごくありそう！！いやー…2巻まで読みましたが、かなり心にダメージきますね。少女漫画と違ってリアル路線…。自分が向井くんの立場だったら仕事行きたく無い…ってなっちゃうので向井くんのメンタルは強いと思います！！10年前の元カノ引きずったり、会社の子が自分に気があると思って割り込んだり…人生いろいろですね。幸せってなんでしょうね…難しいですね…勉強になりますね…

This review contains spoilers. It seems so likely!! Well... I've read up to 2 volumes, and it's pretty damaging to my heart. Unlike shoujo manga, it's a real route... If I were in Mukai-kun's position, I wouldn't want to go to work... so I think Mukai-kun has a strong mentality!! My ex-girlfriend from 10 years ago dragged in, the kid at the company thought she was interested in me and broke in... there are so many things about life. I wonder what happiness is... it's difficult... it's a learning experience...

男性目線

male perspective

作家買いです！2巻まで。ねむさんの絵がとっても可愛らしく好きです。リアルな内容からシュールな作品まで幅広くいつも惹き付けられます！主人公・向井くんは人間的に悪くない！どちらかと言えばいい人！ただ女子に対して夢見がちで勘違いしやすい。たぶんリアルな男子に近い気がします。そして、周りの現実的な女子達の考えと差やらズレやらでそこがほんと面白いです。向井くんを応援したくなっちゃいます！みんな幸せになれー

I'm buying an artist! Up to 2 volumes. Nemu-san's paintings are so cute and I like them. I am always drawn to a wide range of works, from realistic content to surreal works! The main character, Mukai-kun, isn't bad in human terms! If anything, someone who is better! However, I tend to dream about girls, so it's easy to misunderstand. I feel like he's probably close to a real boy. Also, there are differences and gaps with the realistic thoughts of the girls around me, which is really interesting. It makes me want to support Mukai-kun! let's all be happy

まるで生きているような

It's as if I'm alive

This review contains spoilers. 男性が主人公の女性向け漫画はないものか、、とずっと探していたら見つけた作品。10年前の元カノを心に住まわせたままの向井くん。女性に振り回されて恋に生きてみたり、あぁもうダメだと嘆いてみたり、、、すごく共感できるものばかりで。わたしならもう立ち直れないなぁという状況に陥っても、向井くんならどうにかなってしまうのは彼の臆病ながらも優しいところに惹かれたみなさんのおかげなんだと思います?元気と麻美の元夫婦もなんだかどちらの意見も間違いじゃなくて、この漫画の登場人物みんながまるで本当に生きているかのように感じられます。登場人物の名前が必要な部分以外出てこないところもなんだかセンスが良くて好きです。新刊出る度に買います！絶対！！

This review contains spoilers. I found this work after searching for a long time to see if there are any comics for women with a man as the main character. Mukai-kun keeps his ex-girlfriend from 10 years ago living in his heart. I tried being swayed by women and living in love, and lamenting that it's no good anymore... there are all things I can really sympathize with. I think it's thanks to everyone who was attracted to his timid yet kind place that Mukai-kun would manage even if he fell into a situation where I wouldn't be able to recover anymore? The former couple Genki and Asami aren't mistaken in their opinions, and it feels as if all the characters in this comic are really alive. I also like the fact that the names of the characters don't come up other than necessary parts because they have a good sense of style. I buy it every time a new publication comes out! absolutely!!

なんか可愛い

Something cute

読んでいてあまり不快になりませんでした強いて言うなら向井さんの周りを取り巻く登場人物の女性達ですかね。向井さんはすごく周りにも素直で正直で、それがゆえ10年という間もグルグル頭の中で考えていたのかなって。読んでいると、ふふふっって笑いたくなるお話でした。向井さんが無事、自分の望む方向に辿り着けますように。

It didn't make me too uncomfortable when I read it. Strongly speaking, it's probably the women who surround Mukai-san. Mukai-san is very straightforward and honest with those around him, and that's probably why he was thinking round and round in his head for 10 years. It was a story that made me laugh hehehe. I hope Mukai-san can safely reach the direction he wants.

微妙なお年頃？

A delicate age?

35歳って人によって世界が違う！家庭が有り子供ももう赤ちゃんじゃなく、それなりにローンなんかも抱えてて、でも全然20代の俺のままで恋とか思ってる人もいたり。どう着地するの向井くん！？展開気になります！

The world is different for people who are 35 years old! There are also people who have families, children aren't babies anymore, and have loans in their own way, but they are completely like me in my 20s and think it's love. How is Mukai-kun going to land!? I'm curious about the development!
