博士も操られているんだよね。きのこに。

The doctor is being manipulated too, isn't he? to mushrooms.

This review contains spoilers. 『博士』の菌が地球上を覆い支配している状況は、単に、菌が生態系の頂点に存在しているということだと思うのだけれど、それを、『人類が地球の環境を破壊したから』今度はそれを阻止するため、という理由があるのは陳腐だと思う。　『動物の痣持ち』設定も漫画っぽすぎるし意味がわからない。脳に疾患のある人(主人公は失読症)は菌に寄生されても自我を失わないとか、彼らは遺伝子の突然変異で目や髪の色が特殊とかの方がリアリティがあったような。　特定の敵を作る洗脳は、テレビで毎日のようにロシアや北朝鮮を敵として放送しているのと同じで、自由だと思っている日本人でも簡単に洗脳される。この主人公は本当に特殊だと言える。　お話は面白いし、絵もとても上手く、主人公他登場人物の性格もそれぞれ良くて引き込まれるのは確か。

This review contains spoilers. I think the situation where the “Doctor” bacteria cover and control the earth is simply that bacteria exist at the top of the ecosystem, but I think it is obsolete that there is a reason “because humans have destroyed the Earth's environment” to stop it this time. The setting for “Animals with Moles” is too cartoon-like and I don't understand the meaning. People with brain diseases (the main character is dyslexia) don't lose their ego even when they are parasitized by bacteria, and it seems more realistic that they have special eye and hair colors due to genetic mutations. Brainwashing to create specific enemies is the same as broadcasting Russia and North Korea as enemies on a daily basis on television, and even Japanese people who think they are free are easily brainwashed. It can be said that this protagonist is really special. The story is interesting, the pictures are very good, and the personalities of the main character and other characters are good, so it is certain that you will be drawn in.

やっぱり少年マンガは違います

After all, shonen manga are different

普段はキュンキュンしながら少女マンガを読んでるので菌と鉄は刺激が強すぎました。血潮がたぎるというか…スマホに食らいつきながら読んでしまいました。交感神経全開！これは痩せそうです。

I usually read girls' manga while eagerness, so bacteria and iron were too irritating. Bloodshed or rather... I read it while eating into my smartphone. My sympathetic nerves are fully open! This is likely to make me lose weight.

なんだその力強い目は！

What are those powerful eyes!

This review contains spoilers. 菌糸に支配された世界、管理された人間。基地には男しかおらず、ブレインハックされ、日々同じルーチンで過ごし、疑問を持ち質問することも許されない。ただ衣食住は保証されている。それは生きていると言えるのか。1人疑問に思う主人公。生きているだけの日々から命令により外に出た。そして養分となる運命から女と出会い、そしてレジスタンスへ。変化は痛みを伴うが、悩みながらも真っ直ぐな目の主人公と仲間達に惹かれます。受け継がれし意思。好きです。

This review contains spoilers. A world ruled by mycelium, managed humans. There are only men at the base, they have been brainhacked, they spend their time with the same routine every day, and they are not allowed to have questions. However, food, clothing, and shelter are guaranteed. Can you say it's alive? The protagonist wonders one person. I went outside by order from my days when I was just alive. Then, from fate to nourishment, she met a woman, and then went to resistance. The changes are painful, but I am attracted to the protagonist and his friends who have straight eyes even though they are worried. The intention is to be passed on. I like it.

独特で好き

I like it because it's unique

This review contains spoilers. 一巻だけ読みました。作者目線でナレーションってのが慣れなかったけど、全然いい。ディストピア系みたことなかったけど、小説とか他の作品もみてみたくなった(作者さんは小説『1984年』の影響を受けているとのことだし)。そんでめっちゃ面白い泣いた……主人公強いだけじゃなくて、感情豊かで素直で、自責の念に駆られるのがとてもいい。応援したくなる。ギンかっこよかったのに早期退場つら……。テーマの描写も心に刺さる。運命や大きな敵にに抗う系はやっぱいいなぁ。続きも読もうと思います！！

This review contains spoilers. I only read one volume. I wasn't used to narrating from the artist's point of view, but it's totally fine. I had never seen a dystopian genre, but I wanted to see novels and other works (the author says he was influenced by the novel “1984”). That's why I cried so much... Not only is the main character strong, but it's also very nice that he is emotional, honest, and driven by a sense of remorse. It makes me want to cheer. Gin was so cool, but it was hard to leave early... The depiction of the theme also sticks to my heart. After all, a system that resists fate and big enemies is nice. I think I'll read more!!

タイトルが？？！となった！

the title??! It became!

This review contains spoilers. 菌と鉄？？何故と呼んでいたら嗚呼そんなあと異様に目からウロコだった。そうかキノコって本当はとても危険な細菌かもしれないんだ。寄生かあ。脳を支配されたら確かにおしまいだ。しかし鉄のカプセルで身体能力とかアップってなんかすごいリアルだよね。管理社会や誰か作ったの？なんか異様に厳しいよね。戦時中の日本みたい・・。これはバズるかもね。お勧めの作品です。

This review contains spoilers. bacteria and iron?? Why did I call it oh my gosh and then I was strangely rolling in my eyes. I see, mushrooms may actually be very dangerous bacteria. is it a parasite? Once your brain is controlled, it's definitely over. However, improving physical abilities and the like with iron capsules is really real, isn't it? Did someone create a management society or something? It's kind of unusually tough, isn't it? It's like Japan during the war... This might go viral. I recommend this work.

みんな読むべき

Everyone should read

人間を含む生物と地球のことについてとても考えさせられる作品です。エーテルに頑張って欲しいけど何が生命の営みとして正しいのかは、読み進めるほどに難解になる。人間はヒトという種の愚かさを自覚して今の破壊活動をすぐにでも改めない限り近い未来にこういう手痛いしっぺ返しをくらうことは間違いないだろうと思います。でも弱くて、脆くて、愚かで感情的だからこそ愛おしく大切にしなくちゃいけないんだ、と思える。こんな難しい題材を描いてくれた作者に有難うと伝えたいです。

It's a work that really makes me think about living things, including humans, and the Earth. I want Aether to do its best, but the more I read on, the more difficult it becomes to understand what is correct as a way of life. I think there is no doubt that humans will face such a painful tat in the near future as long as they are aware of the foolishness of being human and do not immediately correct their current destructive activities. But I think they have to be lovingly cherished because they are weak, vulnerable, stupid, and emotional. I want to say thank you to the author for drawing such a difficult subject.

これは凄いぞ！読み応えあり

this is amazing! It's a good read

This review contains spoilers. 面白いです。第2の進撃の巨人と言われているとかいないとかで、興味本位で読んでみたのですが・・・うむ、これは第2の進撃の巨人候補に間違いなし！主人公がエレン＋ミカサ＋リヴァイ÷3みたいな感じ(笑)まだ2巻の段階ですが、展開がスピーディー。塀に囲まれ、管理された主人公たち。その中で一人不自然に感じる主人公。彼の生きる世界は何と菌に支配されているという。菌の配下で管理される人と、外の世界で菌の王（？）を倒そうとする反乱軍の戦い。管理される側だった主人公も、本来死ぬはずだったところで期せずして生き残ったため反乱軍に入ることに。菌の王様を倒すべく仲間たちが次々と討ち死に。この死にっぷり、逆に爽快だね！しかし菌の王の圧倒的な力！進撃の菌糸かよ、菌糸による地ならしかよ(笑)ここまでがまだ2巻、2巻の時点でここまで展開するとは・・・凄いスピード感。諦めた反乱軍のボスの前に新たなビジョンが！今後どうなる？早く続きを読みたい。

This review contains spoilers. It's interesting. I read it out of curiosity because it's called Attack on Titan 2 or not, but... well, this is definitely a candidate for Attack on Titan 2! It feels like the main characters are Ellen+Mikasa+Levi ÷ 3 (lol) It's still in volume 2, but development is speedy. The main characters are surrounded and managed by a fence. Among them, one of the main characters feels unnatural. It is said that the world he lives in is controlled by bacteria. The person managed under the control of bacteria and the king of bacteria in the outside world (?) A rebel battle to defeat them. The main character, who was on the management side, also unexpectedly survived where he was supposed to die, so he joined the rebels. In order to defeat the King of Bacteria, friends are killed in battle one after another. On the contrary, this death is so exhilarating! But the overwhelming power of the King of Bacteria! Is it Mycelium from Attack on Mycelium? (Laughter) Up to this point in volume 2, it's still going to unfold this far... a tremendous sense of speed. A new vision comes before the rebel boss who gave up! What's going to happen next? I want to read more soon.

近鉄

Kintetsu

近鉄バファローズと言う強い強い野球チームが昔あった交流戦開始時まで残っていたらセ・リーグの弱さが更に際立っていた事だろう(-。-)y-~

If a strong, strong baseball team called the Kintetsu Buffaloes had remained until the start of the interleague game where there used to be, the weakness of the Central League would have stood out even more (-. -) y-~

好きな人は好きだと思う

I think I like the person I like

好きな人は好きだと思うけど、賛否両論を呼びそうな作品ではあるかも知れない。私は好きだけど。理不尽な世界と戦うことがテーマなのだと思う。全然、先が読めないし、ハラハラするし、迫力もあるので、楽しめる。

I think people like it, but it may be a work that is likely to arouse pros and cons. I like it though. I think the theme is fighting against an unreasonable world. I can't read ahead at all, it's jarring, and it's powerful, so I enjoy it.

4巻まで読了

Read up to 4 volumes

1、2巻あたりで、あまりにもサクサク進み過ぎじゃないか！？と思いながら読んでいたのですが、4巻まで読み終えた今、ここからもっと面白くなりそう！と思える展開でした。こんな世界にいたら本当に「命は大事」なんて価値観は欠落しそうです。主人公の行動原理がシンプルなのも好感が持てました。もちろん主人公サイドに感情移入しながら読んでいますが、果たして感情も行動も全てが自由になった世界で、人類は争いをやめることができるんだろうか、と少しだけ考えてしまいます。何がこの漫画の目指すべきところなのか、続きがとても楽しみです。

It's around volume 1 or 2, isn't it going too quickly!? I was reading it while thinking, but now that I've finished reading up to 4 volumes, it seems like it's going to be even more interesting from here on out! It was a development that made me think. If we were in a world like this, the value that “life is important” really seems to be lacking. I was also impressed by the fact that the main character's principle of action is simple. Of course, I'm reading it while empathizing with the main character's side, but it makes me think just a little bit about whether humanity can stop fighting in a world where all emotions and actions are free. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this comic should aim for.

発想が良いキノコ嫌いの方は注意！

Be careful if you don't like good-thinking mushrooms!

きん（近 or 菌）未来のお話。中々発想と内容の濃さには驚いた作品です。進〇の巨人の作者も大絶賛作品。元？少女漫画家さんで絵には好みは分かれますがママさん漫画家さんの構想の深さには脱帽。・・・たまにこの内容は・・・どこかでなんて内容はご愛嬌で良い作品だと思います。でも菌活好きな方は・・・嫌いにならないでね?

A story about the future of kin (near or bacteria). I was surprised by the depth of thought and content of this work. The author of Progressive Titan also received rave reviews. yuan? I'm a girls' manga artist, so I take my hat off to the depth of Mama's manga artist's imagination. ... once in a while, this content is... somewhere I think the content is charming and good. but if you like bacterial activity... don't hate it, right?
