表現

representations

言葉、絵、歌、写真、生まれて見てきて触れて感じるもの。八虎のまっすぐ向き合う姿に心を揺さぶられました。人懐っこい八虎、真剣に一人一人と接する姿に絵に対しても同じなんだなぁと思いました。挑むこと、数年前に抱いていた大事なことを漫画を通じて気づかせてくださり、ありがとうございます。絵画に出会えるのも楽しみの一つとなっています。これからも陰ながら応援しています。

Words, pictures, songs, photos, things you've seen and felt since birth. My heart was shaken by the sight of Hachiko facing each other straight. I thought the friendly Hachiko treated each person seriously was the same for painting. Thank you for making me aware of the challenge and the important things I had a few years ago through comics. Being able to encounter paintings is one of the pleasures. I will continue to cheer behind the scenes.

どきどきする

Thriving

自分の親が美大出身なのでこんな大変な受験したのかーと思いながら読みました。主人公の真っ直ぐで臆病で純粋な心に感動しますし、先がどんどん読みたくなります！ここ最近で一番のめり込んで読みました。

My parents are from art college, so I read it while wondering if they had such a difficult time taking the exam. I'm moved by the protagonist's straight, timid, and pure heart, and it makes me want to read more and more! I've read it with the most interest recently.

言葉にできないことってある。

There are things I can't put into words.

人間だから、自分を表現するときには言葉を用いることが多い。でも、言葉で自分のすべてが伝わるかというと、そうでもない。なんで分かってくれないの？と思うことなんて山程ある。あくまでも言語は表現の一つなのだと気付かせてくれた作品。言葉ではない自己表現で己の心と向き合っていくキャラクター達が本当に愛おしく思えます。

Since we are human, we often use words to express ourselves. But when it comes to conveying everything about myself through words, that's not the case. Why don't you understand? There are so many things I think about. This work made me realize that language is just one form of expression. I really love the characters who face their own heart with self-expression rather than words.

漫画大賞おめでとうございます

Congratulations on winning the Manga Award

ずっと好きな漫画です。美術は観る専門で好きですが、描く側はきっとこんな風なんでしょうね。アツイ作品です。

It's a comic I've always liked. I like art because I specialize in watching, but I'm sure the drawing side is like this. It's a hot work.

何もかも知ってるようで、知らないようで‥

It's like they know everything, and it's like they don't know...

その感覚、分かる！ってページが多かった作品です。続きはどうなるのかな？気になります。

I know that feeling! It's a work that had a lot of pages. What will happen next? I'm curious.

なんかいい

Something good

全く興味なかった美術に興味を持てた。八虎のハングリー精神見てると自分も頑張りたくなる

I had an interest in art that I wasn't interested in at all. Watching Hachiko's Hungry Spirit makes me want to do my best too

楽しみ

pastimes

高2で好きな事に出会えたのかーーー。美術に詳しくなくてもとても楽しめた。巻末のお礼が書かれたページが丁寧すぎて愛情溢れる作家さんだなと思って泣けた。

I wonder if I was able to meet something I liked in my second year of high school. I really enjoyed it even if I wasn't familiar with art. The page on which the thank you was written at the end of the book was so careful that it made me cry thinking that the writer was full of love.

ある意味、スポ根漫画

In a sense, sports comics

絵は全く描けず才能所か落書き程度さえも書けない絵心ない私ですが、この漫画の面白さよ！青い炎のような焼きつくす熱情で探求する世界は無限です。あとジャンル違うはずなのに、熱血スポ根漫画を読んでいるような印象。一歩一歩着実に成長する主人公が良し。オススメです。

I can't draw pictures at all, and I have no talent or even a sense of drawing, but this comic is interesting! There are endless worlds to explore with a burning passion like a blue flame. Also, even though the genre is supposed to be different, I have the impression that I'm reading a hot blood sport manga. The protagonist, who grows steadily step by step, is good. I recommend it.

美術音痴な私でも

Art, even if I'm tone-deaf

八虎が泣く場面では一緒に涙が出てきます。美術は分からないし、感情移入も出来ないまま流し読むんだろうなと思っていたら違いました。登場人物達が抱える葛藤に胸が苦しくなりますが、それぞれの過程を経た後はさらりとした気持ちよさが残ります。彼らの今後が楽しみでならないです。

In the scene where Hachiko cries, tears come out together. I didn't understand art, and it was different when I thought I would read it fluently without being able to empathize. The conflicts faced by the characters make my heart ache, but after going through each process, a smooth and comfortable feeling remains. I can't help but look forward to their future.

初めてです。

This is my first time.

いろんなジャンルの漫画見てきたけど、美術作品ってあんまりないですよね。漫画好きな方って絵も描いてる人も多いので、余計きょうみわくかも！

I've watched comics of various genres, but there aren't many works of art. There are a lot of people who like comics who also draw pictures, so it might be extra exciting!

こんなに美術について語ってくれるマンガ、初めて出会いました！中学とか高校の時にこのマンガに出会っていたら将来美大に入りたいと思っていたかもしれない…！！

This is the first time I've come across a manga that talks so much about art! If I had come across this manga when I was in middle school or high school, I might have wanted to go to art college in the future...!!

面白かったです。

That was interesting.

This review contains spoilers. 私は絵を描く事が好きだけど、何も考えずに絵とは無関係の所を受験就職して社会人になりました。絵が好きだから何となくこの漫画を手に取りましたが、読んでみて、高校生に戻って自分の好きな絵のことを真剣に考えて、将来に繋げたかったなと思ってしまいました。予備校の場面や絵の描き方考え方など勉強になる事が沢山あって、絵に真剣に取り組んでいる人々が美大を受験する雰囲気を見れて良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. I like drawing pictures, but without thinking about anything, I took an exam and got a job at a place unrelated to painting and became a member of society. I somehow picked up this comic because I like pictures, but after reading it, I went back to high school and seriously thought about my favorite pictures, and thought that I wanted to connect it to the future. There were a lot of things to learn, such as scenes from prep school, how to think about drawing, etc., and it was nice to see the atmosphere where people who are seriously working on painting take art college entrance exams.

大人買いして一気読み

Buy it as an adult and read it all at once

芸術は「不確かでよくわからないもの」という印象から、受験編では「確かな技術を戦略的に込めて魅力を作り上げているんだ」という新たな発見があり面白かったです。その後また「芸術難しい！」になりましたが、主人公が天才ではないものすごい努力家というところに引き込まれ、その努力がひとつ、またひとつ報われるような場面では相変わらず胸が熱くなります。登場人物たちの作品に現実の作者の名前が小さいけれどしっかり書かれていて、一番はじめは興ざめでしたが、慣れてすぐ気にならなくなりました。

From the impression that art is “uncertain and not well understood,” there was a new discovery in the entrance exam section that “reliable technology is strategically created to create appeal,” which was interesting. Then again, “Art is difficult!” However, my heart is still heated in scenes where the main character is not a genius but a tremendous hard worker, and that effort is rewarded one by one. The names of the actual authors are small but well written in the characters' works, and I was excited at the very beginning, but as soon as I got used to it, I didn't care.

すごい

uncanny

This review contains spoilers. 予備校の人達の絵がどれも上手いのに、こんなに上手い人が五万といるんだ…と鳥肌がたちました。特に美術部の先輩が描いた絵が下から数えた方が早い順位と知った時は主人公と同じくらい衝撃を受けました。絵の描き方がくどくない程度に分かりやすく解説されていて絵に明るくない私でも面白かったです。

This review contains spoilers. I got goose bumps saying that all of the people at the prep school are good at drawing pictures, but there are 50,000 people who are this good... In particular, I was shocked as much as the protagonist when I learned that the pictures drawn by a senior in the art club were ranked faster when counted from below. The explanation of how to draw pictures was easy to understand to the extent that it wasn't difficult, and it was interesting even for me who wasn't bright with pictures.

オススメ

すごくオススメです。嫌な気持ちになる人が誰もいない。ストレスなく、かつ退屈でなく読み進められます。キャラがそれぞれ立っていて、ただ順風満帆に進んでいくのではなく、主人公の努力や才能や費やした時間の差が描かれていてじんわり心にきました。自身を投射して読むと最高に清々しい気持ちになります。こんなに努力し続ける人になりたい、そう思わせてくれる漫画でした。久々に自分の中で大ヒットです。オススメです。

I highly recommend it. No one feels bad about it. You can read on without stress or boredom. Each character is standing, and it doesn't just go smoothly; it depicts the main character's efforts, talents, and differences in time spent, and it slowly came to my mind. When I read it by projecting myself, I feel so refreshed. It was a comic that made me think that I wanted to be someone who continues to work so hard. It's been a long time since it's been a big hit for me. I recommend it.
