何事もソツなく

Nothing is wrong

こなす高校生：矢口八虎は成績優秀であり、本人も大学進学希望であった。しかし、ある1枚の絵をみたことから、彼は進路を東京芸術大学に変更！ここから八虎の奮闘が始まる…。一般に馴染みのない芸大受験というものがよく分かるマンガ。面白いです。

Konasu High School Student: Yaguchi Hachitora had excellent grades, and he himself wanted to go to college. However, after seeing one picture, he changed his career path to Tokyo University of the Arts! This is where Hachiko's struggles begin... This is a manga where you can clearly understand the art university entrance exam, which is not familiar to the general public. It's interesting.

情熱的

passionate

扉の美しさに惹かれて読んでみましたが、惹かれていくものに抑えきれない心情描写が秀逸ですね? 絵柄も好きです。

I was attracted to the beauty of the door and read it, but the depiction of feelings that cannot be suppressed by what one is attracted to is excellent, isn't it? I like the design too.

絵やキャラクターの描写が新鮮で清々しい！

The pictures and character depictions are fresh and refreshing!

絵や色使いや漫画の表現方法が、本当に綺麗で上手な作家さんです。キャラクターの性格や心理描写も、今の時代に合っていて読むと新鮮な驚きを感じます。周囲に合わせた高スペックで現実的な表の自分と、「現実的でない」美術にどうしようもなく惹かれる本音の自分というのも、曖昧で表面的なものに流されやすい時代に実感できるストーリーです。本音の部分で生きるというのは他者や壁に全力でぶつかることで、残酷でもあり素晴らしくもあり、漫画にすると、その青春の輝きに惹きこまれます。

The artist is really beautiful and good at using pictures, colors, and the way to express comics. The characters' personalities and psychological depictions are also in line with the current era, and I feel a fresh surprise when I read them. My high-spec, realistic self that matches my surroundings and my true self, who is helplessly attracted to “unrealistic” art, is also a story where it is easy to feel in an age where it is easy to be swept away by ambiguous and superficial things. Living with true intentions is hitting others and walls with all your might, and it's both cruel and wonderful, and when it comes to comics, I'm drawn to that brilliance of youth.

美大出身の私が見ても納得の内容！

As an art college graduate, I was convinced even when I watched it!

This review contains spoilers. 受験編の疾走感はお見事！ただ、現実よりも美しすぎるな、まあ漫画だから良いのかと思っていたら、大学編の葛藤のリアルなこと！読んでて胸が痛い〜！今後主人公がどんな作家になっていくのか楽しみです！

This review contains spoilers. The feeling of running fast in the exam edition is amazing! However, when I was wondering if it's a comic that's too beautiful than reality, well, it's a real college conflict! My heart hurts when I read it! I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of writer the main character becomes in the future!

本格的な青春ストーリー

An authentic youth story

青春ストーリーだと今まででは、スポーツや音楽演奏といった、画面が華やぎ、とても盛り上がるものが多かったと思います。実際私は美術をテーマに青春ストーリーを描いている漫画を読んだことがありませんでしたが、この作品は見事に美術・芸大受験に向き合う青少年を青春・熱血ストーリーとして描いています。この漫画が世間的に大ヒットしたら、その年の芸大受験生は間違いなく増加する。そんな風に思ってしまう漫画です。

When it comes to youth stories, until now, I think there have been many things, such as sports and music performances, where the screen is gorgeous and very exciting. Actually, I had never read comics depicting youth stories with the theme of art, but this work depicts young people brilliantly facing the Art and Art University entrance exam as a story of youth and passionate blood. If this comic becomes a big hit in the world, there will definitely be an increase in the number of students taking the University of the Arts that year. It's a comic that makes me think like that.

青くて熱い

Blue and hot

私は紙媒体で購入していたので最近まで気づかなかったんですが、扉のカラーが綺麗！さすがテーマが芸術なだけあるなぁ、と思います。紙で持っていても電子も欲しくなってしまいました…！また、物語の内容は、アツくて泣けて、思わず「あの頃の自分だったら…」と自分の学生時代に想いを馳せてしまうような青春譚です。今私は社会人ですが、やりたいことのために専門学校に行きたいなと思っています。その背中をものすごい力で後押しされます。私も八虎と同じようにやりたいこと、惹かれることに全力で向き合いたくなりました。これから八虎の藝大生活が、どんなふうに変わっていくのかが楽しみでなりません！！！

I used to buy it on paper, so I didn't notice it until recently, but the color of the door is beautiful! As expected, I think there are only art themes. Even if I had it on paper, I wanted electronic ones too...! Also, the content of the story is a youth story that is so hot that it makes me cry, and I involuntarily think back to my school days, saying, “If I were who I was back then...” I'm a working person now, and I want to go to a vocational school for what I want to do. That back is boosted with tremendous strength. Like Hachiko, I wanted to do what I wanted to do and what I was attracted to with all my might. I can't wait to see how Hachitora's life at the University of the Arts will change from now on!!

すごい！

amazing!

種類違えど絵を描く者としては共感するところがあり、また奮い立たされる部分もあり、心の底から「あー今絵を描きたい！」と、ワクワクさせられる作品です。出会えてよかった！好きなもの、趣味、打ち込めるものが見つかっている人にぜひオススメしたい漫画です。自分が行き詰まったときに、「好き」を突き詰める気持ちを思い出せる作品だと思いました。

There are things I sympathize with as people who draw pictures regardless of the variety, and there are also parts that inspire me, and from the bottom of my heart, I thought, “Oh, I want to draw pictures now!” It's an exciting work. I'm glad we met! I would definitely recommend this comic to anyone who has found something they like, a hobby, or something they can put their heart into. I thought it was a work that reminded me of the feeling of focusing on “liking” when I got stuck.

It's interesting. It made me wonder how it would have been if I had put more seriously into it as something I could draw a little more. It reminded me of when I was in the art club. I will continue!

待ってた！大学篇

I've been waiting! University section

This review contains spoilers. 前は合格したところで終わるのかな〜なんて思ってたけど、今回描かれていたとおり「藝大合格はゴールじゃなくて始まり」なんですよね。前巻の終わりからワクワクしてた藝大篇に突入した新刊。自分では自分のことすごいと思ってなくて、いつも周りの天才たちと比べて落ち込んでるヤトラ。だから入学してからもきっと他の生徒と比べて落ち込むんだろうな〜て思ってたけど、期待通り。クリエイティブな天才に憧れる凡人としては、ヤトラが落ち込むところでは共感して苦しくなるし、そこからどう立ち上がるのかを見せてくれると嬉しい晴れやかな気持ちになれる。ヤトラの大学生活、これからどうなるのか。今後も期待してます！

This review contains spoilers. Before, I was wondering if it would end when I passed, but as depicted this time, “passing the University of the Arts is a beginning, not a goal.” This new book has entered the Geidaihan, which I had been excited about since the end of the previous volume. Yatra doesn't think she's amazing, and she's always depressed compared to the geniuses around her. So I was wondering if I would be depressed compared to other students even after enrollment, but as expected. As an ordinary person who admires creative geniuses, I sympathize and suffer when Yatra is depressed, and I feel happy and radiant when they show me how to stand up from there. What will happen to Yatra's college life in the future? I'm looking forward to the future!

勉強になる

It's a learning experience

芸大受験編が終わり、芸大生活に入りましたが変わらず面白いです。私は芸大とは無縁の人生を送ってきましたが、こんなことをしているんだ、と芸大へ挑戦する人の勉強の仕方がわかりました。ライバルや友情、主人公の苦悩やブレイクスルーもきちんと描かれつつ、絵の描き方やスキルも紹介されているので、勉強にもなります。続きも楽しみです。

The University of the Arts Entrance Exam is over, and I have entered the University of the Arts life, but it's still interesting. I've lived a life unrelated to the University of the Arts, but I understand how people who try to go to the University of the Arts study because they are doing this. While rivals, friendships, and the protagonist's anguish and breakthroughs are properly depicted, drawing methods and skills are also introduced, so it's also a learning experience. I'm looking forward to the continuation.
