すごくいい

Very good

This review contains spoilers. なんかね、VRの可能性ってやつを感じますね。現実は人は見た目が100%です。自分のナリが自分の行動規範です。そういう世界から逸脱して自由に過ごせる空間っていいですね。車の無人運転より100倍難しそうです。100年、200年後には実現してるかな。てかそれまで今の日本はあるんでしょうか。この文明の延長上のような進んだ世界はあるんでしょうか。案外石器時代に逆戻りだったりしてね。

This review contains spoilers. Somehow, I feel the potential of VR. The reality is that people are 100% what they look like. My own attitude is my code of conduct. It would be nice to have a space where you can get away from that kind of world and spend time freely. It seems 100 times more difficult than driving a car unmanned. I wonder if it will be realized in 100 or 200 years. Heck, will Japan exist today until then? Is there an advanced world that is an extension of this civilization? Surprisingly, it went back to the Stone Age.

可愛くて切ない

cute and sad

ドラマ化をきっかけに購入しました。VRの世界は詳しくないのですが、現実のしがらみがない世界で生まれた初恋がピュアで、可愛いくて切なくて泣けました。

I bought it in the wake of the drama adaptation. I'm not familiar with the VR world, but my first love, which was born in a world where there were no barriers to reality, was pure, cute, and made me cry.

This review contains spoilers. ドラマを見て、原作を読みたくて来ました。NHKがいいかんじにプラトニックにしてくれていましたが、原作の雰囲気を出せていたと思います。感動しました。印象はホナミが直樹を見て感じたような、昭和表現でいうとメロウな気分です。

This review contains spoilers. I watched the drama and wanted to read the original story. NHK made it platonic, and I think it brought out the atmosphere of the original story. I'm moved. The impression is that Honami felt when she saw Naoki, and it's a mellow feeling in Showa expressions.

良かったです

That was great

VR私にとって直接的に馴染みはありませんが、そのツールをもって、本当の付き合いが出来た人達が幸せであった事が分かります。姿は違っていても、なによりもその人らしく過ごせたのでしょう。それがとても泣けました。秀作だと思います。

VR isn't directly familiar to me, but I can see that the people I was able to have real relationships with with that tool were happy. Even though they looked different, they were probably able to spend their time just like that person above all else. That made me cry so much. I think it's an excellent work.

脳が追いつかない場所からの評価

Evaluation from a place where the brain can't keep up

This review contains spoilers. 多分ですが、第一部でこの作品にいいねを押す人は沢山いると思うんです。スッと違和感無く入れて好きな人。でも、私にはどういうことなのかわからない。素養が無い。BLジャンルならわかる(いやBLもわからないか)ような気もするが少女漫画。青年漫画ですら無い。脳の置き場所に困りました。恐らく自分が色んな事柄の対極にいるということは理解出来る。でも読めてしまう不思議。2部で少し理解が進んだ。理解は許容とは違くて、許容ということでは問題は無かった。でもあとがきまで読んでそれなりにわかった気がしました。剥き出しの相手と自分という感覚。一度だけ背景なんもわからん人を好きになったことがあったけどそれに近いのかも。病気で終わっちゃいましたけど、その辺もちょっとどきっとしました。でも素でいられた楽しい時間だったです。その素に反して、期待された姿を求められたロスジェネ、そのギャップを埋めるVR。掘り下げると色んなテーマがあるんですね。成功してきた人と成し遂げられなかった人、普通なら接点無いのに、補完し合う不思議。見た目を超えた想いだけれども、夕焼けが似合うところに惹かれてる不思議。ぬー、脳が追っ付かずまとまりません（笑）。ただ、対極にいる私でも☆4か5の中間くらいなので、あっさり理解出来る人ならそら面白いと思います。

This review contains spoilers. Maybe, but I think there are a lot of people who like this work in Part 1. A person I like and quickly put in without any sense of incongruity. But I don't know what that means. I have no qualifications. I also feel like I understand the BL genre (no, don't you know BL either), but girls' comics. It's not even a youth comic. I'm having trouble with where to put my brain. I can probably understand that I'm at the opposite end of many things. But it's strange that I can read it. My understanding progressed a bit in part 2. Understanding was different from permissibility, and there was no problem with permissibility. But after reading the afterword, I felt like I understood it. The feeling of being yourself and your naked partner. There was once a time when I fell in love with someone who didn't understand anything about their background, but maybe it's close to that. I ended up being sick, but I was a little sure about that too. But it was a fun time where I was able to just be myself. Contrary to that, Rosgen was asked to look as expected, and VR fills that gap. If you dig deeper, there are a lot of themes. It's strange that people who have succeeded and people who haven't achieved anything complement each other, even though they normally have no point of contact. It's a feeling that goes beyond what it looks like, but it's strange that they are attracted to places where sunsets look good. Wow, my brain doesn't catch up and it doesn't come together (laughs). However, even for me, who is on the opposite side, it's about halfway between ☆ 4 or 5, so I think it would be very interesting if you are someone who can understand it easily.

ものすごく泣いてしまった

I cried so much

あー、すごく泣けました。派手でもなく、劇的でもなく、物語としては最初から最後まで淡々としっとりとしているのに、言葉やシーンの一つ一つが胸に刺さりまくって泣けてしかたなかったです。すごく不思議ですごく美しい世界でした。VRでの出会いでも人の本質は変わらない。人と人とのふれあいってこういうものだよなとすんなりと胸に落ちました。2人は出会って良かったし、いい出会いだったと思いたい。2人の世界は確かに煌めいていました。読めて良かった。この作品を描いてくださった作者さんにはありがとうと言いたいです。

Oh, it made me cry so much. It wasn't flashy, it wasn't dramatic, and even though the story was bland and and moist from beginning to end, every word and scene stuck in my chest and I couldn't help but cry. It was a very strange and very beautiful world. The essence of a person does not change even when meeting someone in VR. I couldn't help but feel like this is how people interact with each other. I'm glad they met, and I want to think it was a good encounter. The world of the two was certainly sparkling. I'm glad I was able to read it. I would like to say thank you to the artist who drew this work.

泣きました

I cried

This review contains spoilers. 少女漫画の分類でしたがレビューのおじさん×おじさんをみて買いました。VRでは女の子×女の子、現実でも接点が出てくる話です。死別系には弱いのですが綺麗な話でした。上手く語れませんがいい話でした。サービス終了したあとの世界でまことさんがどうなっていくのか…気になりますが綺麗な終わり方でよかったです。

This review contains spoilers. It was classified as a girls' manga, but I saw the review of Ojisan x Ojisan and bought it. In VR, it's a story where the point of contact between a girl and a girl comes up even in real life. I'm weak against bereavement, but it was a beautiful story. I can't say it well, but it was a good story. What will happen to Makoto in the world after the service ends... I'm curious, but I'm glad it ended so beautifully.

ぼろぼろ泣きました

I cried in a daze

おじさん×おじさん、、なんでこれでこんなに泣けるんだろう。というくらい泣いた本。言葉選びもきれい。第一部がバズった頃にすごくいいと思っていたので、書籍という形にまで昇華してくれた方々と作者さんにただただ感謝です。

Old man x old man... I wonder why this makes me cry so much. It's a book that made me cry so much. The choice of words is also beautiful. I thought it was really good when Part 1 went viral, so I'm simply grateful to the people and authors who sublimated it into the form of a book.

何度も読み返したくなります

I want to reread it over and over

Twitterで読んで続きが気になり購入しました。登場人物の詳細は少ないのにリアルでの人間関係や人となりがしっかり伝わってくる絶妙なストーリーでした。VRではなくてはできない純愛だと思います。

I read it on Twitter and bought it because I was curious about the continuation. It was an exquisite story where real relationships and personalities were clearly conveyed even though there were few details about the characters. I think it's pure love that can only be done in VR.

Twitterで話題だったので

It was a hot topic on Twitter

覗き見してみたら良さそうだったので購入、思いがけず中々良いものでした語りすぎず、端折りすぎず、個人的には満足の行くものですVR上でも純愛って言うんだろうか‥

It looked good when I took a peek, so I bought it, and unexpectedly it was pretty good. It didn't talk too much, it wasn't too complicated, and it's personally satisfying. I wonder if it's pure love even in VR...
