表現すること

Expressing

表現することにはその人の人生の見方とか、価値観とか、色々反映されるのだな〜。大きな試練を、どんなふうに受け止めるか。どう消化するか、しないか。それをどんな形でアウトプットするか。描くか、奏でるか、掘るか。芸術の世界は深くておもしろい。

Expression is reflected in many ways, such as that person's way of looking at life and values. How are you going to take the big test? How do you digest it or not. What form do you want to output it in? Do you draw, play, or dig? The world of art is deep and interesting.

苦しい

languishing

とっても面白く周りが見えなくなるぐらい漫画に集中できる作品です。ただとても面白い反面、感情が伝わってき過ぎて読んでいて本当に苦しいし、とてもしんどいです。先生の漫画の特徴だと思うのですが、スッキリ爽快って感じではないですが、心の奥をかき乱されるような本当に心に残る作品です。

It's a very interesting work where you can concentrate on comics to the point where you can't see your surroundings. However, on the other hand, it conveys so much emotion that it is really painful to read, and it's very difficult. I think it's a characteristic of the teacher's comics, but they don't feel refreshed and exhilarating, but they are really memorable works that disturb the depths of my heart.

この作品を知ることが出来てよかったです！

I'm glad I was able to get to know this work!

This review contains spoilers. 自分は正直、体育会系で学生の頃はやってきたので娘が美術とかアニメやイラストを部活などに選んでいることになかなか向きあえていませんでした。時間を忘れて作品を作ったりしている姿とか今思うと心から応援出来ていなかったかもしれません。。この作品に初めてふれ、藝大受験のこと、芸術のスケールの大きさ、世界観、言葉では表現出来ない繊細なところ、芸術のリアリティ、人間のドロドロとした感情までも目の当たりにしました。。今なら娘のこと、もっと理解し応援してあげられるような気持ちがします。この作品、大好きです！もう沼化してしまいました。登場する皆がホントかっこよくて（最初、なにこの人！って思った人もかっこよくみえてきます。特に世田介くんがいいキャラですね！）スゴい作品です。重厚感ある作品となっております。心の鐘を何度となく鳴らされてしまうかもしれません

This review contains spoilers. To be honest, I came here when I was an athletic student, so I wasn't really comfortable with my daughter choosing art, animation, or illustrations for club activities. I may not have been able to support them from the bottom of my heart when I think about them forgetting time and making works now. I first came into contact with this work, and I was able to witness the scale of art, the worldview, delicate places that cannot be expressed in words, the reality of art, and even the muddy emotions of humans. Right now, I feel like I can understand and support my daughter even more. I love this work! It's already turned into a swamp. Everyone who appears is really cool (at first, what is this person! The person who thought that also looked cool. (Setasuke is a particularly good character!) It's an amazing work. It is a profound work. The bell of your heart may be rung over and over

胸を打つ、心にくる

It hits my heart, it comes to my heart

すごい。面白い。芸術っていうよくわからないものを上手く説明してくれている。僕らは芸術家さんがどんなふうに考えてどう作品を作ったか分からないけど、八虎くんの作成過程からそれを知ることができる。いや本当にすごい、面白い。八虎くんだけじゃなくて、彼の周りにいる人達も、一般人とは違った芸術家的なそれぞれのものの見方、考え方を持っていて、八虎くんとのやり取りが面白い。芸術家同士だからこそというか。龍二や高橋、橋田との会話とかを見て、心にきます。言語化がすごいです。作者さんはこんなものを書いて、おそらくご自身の中から引っ張り出していると思うのですが、大丈夫なのでしょうかと心配になる位の漫画です。

That's amazing. It's interesting. They are good at explaining things I don't understand about art. We don't know how the artist thought and created the work, but we can learn about it from Hachikora-kun's creation process. No, it's really amazing, interesting. Not only Hachikora-kun, but the people around him also have artist-like ways of looking at things and thinking that are different from ordinary people, and it's interesting to interact with Hachikora-kun. I think it's because they're artists. I saw conversations with Ryuji, Takahashi, and Hashida, and it came to my mind. The verbalization is amazing. The author wrote something like this, and I think he probably pulled it out of his own, but it's such a comic that I'm worried about whether it's okay.

芸術って情熱

Art is passion

最初はYOASOBIの「群青」から気になって読み始めたのがきっかけですが、めちゃくちゃ引き込まれました。美大に通っていた子から聞いた話だと、在学していた時はただただ苦しかったと。今は就職して懐かしんでました。自分はクリエイティブな面は全然ダメなので、ゼロから何かを生み出すってパワーや情熱が必要なのかなと感じました。他人の評価や作品で考え込んでウツになりそう。八虎が周りにやや振り回され気味で、でも憎めない人達ばかり。とにかくキャラがそれぞれ個性的な人ばかりだけど青春っすな。お金を節約していたのでクーポンありがたや～で何冊か止まってしまっていたので購入させていただきました（＾人＾）何はともあれ実写化おめでとうございます！

At first, I was curious about “Ultramarine Blue” by YOASOBI and started reading it, but I was really drawn in. According to a story I heard from a kid who went to art college, it was simply painful when I was in school. I was nostalgic now that I got a job. I'm not good at being creative at all, so I felt that creating something from scratch required power and passion. Thinking about it based on other people's evaluations and works seems like it's going to be ridiculous. There are only people who seem to be slightly swayed around Hachiko, but they are all people I can't hate. Anyway, all of the characters are unique, but they're young. I was saving money, so I was thankful for the coupons, so I bought several books (^ people ^) Anyway, congratulations on the live-action adaptation!

好きすぎる

I like it too much

This review contains spoilers. あんまり繰り返して読んだりしないのですが、ブルーピリオドは何度も読み返したくなります。「もっと気楽に生きてったらいいのに！」って思うほど八虎は繊細で真面目。だからこそ伸びしろがある若者なんだろうなあ。絵画は好きでよく美術館に行きますが、難しいことはよく分からなかったので、アートの見方や東京藝大のことを知れて楽しいです。絵も綺麗ですし。これからの話の展開も楽しみです！

This review contains spoilers. I don't read it over and over again, but I want to reread the blue period over and over again. “I wish I had a more relaxed life!” Hachiko is so delicate and serious that I think. I wonder if that's why young people have room to grow. I like painting and often go to art museums, but I didn't really understand difficult things, so it's fun to see art and learn about Tokyo University of the Arts. The pictures are beautiful too. I'm also looking forward to the future development of the story!

どんどんハマっていく物語！

A story that makes you more and more addicted to it!

This review contains spoilers. 自分自身も絵のことに詳しい訳では無いからか、主人公に感情移入して、どんどん先をと思ってしまいます。絵が上手だなと思うことはあっても、そこに構図とか色々な意味があった事を知れて、めっちゃ奥深いと思いました。主人公や他の子がどんな成長をして行くのか、青春物語だからこそ熱くなり、読むのが楽しいです。

This review contains spoilers. I empathize with the main character and think more and more ahead, probably because I'm not familiar with pictures myself. Even though I think I'm good at painting, I learned that it had many meanings, such as composition, and I thought it was really profound. The way the main character and other children grow up is exciting because it's a youth story, and it's fun to read.

凄い揺さぶられた

It was really shaken

予備校の空気感がリアル過ぎて、フラッシュバックして最初読み進める事ができなかった。3年くらい寝かして読み始めたら止まらなかった。受験のシーンだったり大学での講評とか色んな場面で何度もえぐられたけど、読んで良かった。

The atmosphere of prep school was so real that I flashed back and couldn't read on at first. I put it to bed for about 3 years and started reading it, and then I couldn't stop. I was exclaimed many times in various situations, such as the entrance exam scene and university reviews, but I'm glad I read it.

矢虎くん頑張れー！！

Good luck, Yatora-kun!

グッとくる場面や言葉が読み返す度に違うので、飽きないです。出会えて良かった漫画のひとつです。美術のことは詳しく分からないけど、こんな世界もあるんだな、と疑似体験できました。若者がひとつの事に苦悩する姿をリアルに描く漫画好きですし、ほんと羨ましいです。青春ですね。若い方にはこの作品見て活力になれ、わたしも今からでも何かできるかな、なんて思えるような作品。YOASOBIの郡青聴きながら読むのおすすめです。色んな作家さんの絵に触れたり、調べたり、見たり……色んな見方のできる漫画、そこも面白いです。まだまだこれからも楽しめそうです。世田介くんが動物と戯れてるのが可愛いくて好き……

The surprising scenes and words are different every time I reread them, so I never get tired of them. It's one of the comics I'm glad I came across. I don't know about art in detail, but I was able to simulate that there is a world like this. I like comics that realistically depict young people struggling with one thing, and I really envy them. Youth, isn't it? Young people are energized by watching this work, and it is a work that makes me wonder if I can do something even now. I recommend reading while listening to Gunsei by YOASOBI. Touching, searching, and looking at pictures by various artists... comics that can be viewed in various ways are also interesting. It looks like we'll still be able to enjoy it from now on. I like Setasuke playing with animals because he's cute...

夢を追いかけて頑張る高校生物が好きなんですけど、これはまさに！自分は高校時代こんなに夢追って生活してなかったから、少し羨ましいなぁ。

I like high school creatures that work hard to chase their dreams, and this is exactly it! I didn't live my life chasing dreams this much when I was in high school, so I'm a little envious.

何度も読み返してしまうわ

I'm going to reread it over and over

心臓ギュってなるけど読むのやめられないヨタスケくんが八雲に言った言葉が刺さりまくった。死んだ人の受け入れ方って本当に人それぞれで，どんな解釈をしてもそんな自分を受け入れられなかったりして‥。そんな話を聞いてる他人の矢虎の成長や落とし込み方も最高でした。

The words Yotasuke said to Yakumo even though he has a heart attack stuck with me. Everyone really has a different way of accepting dead people, and no matter what kind of interpretation they make, they can't accept themselves like that... The growth and adoption of Yatora by others listening to such stories was also amazing.

どこまでも群青色の物語

An Everlasting Ultramarine Tale

普段明るいあの子も、誰しもが抱えているはずの葛藤。登場人物たちは、芸術を志すという共通点もあるのでしょうが、それらを押し殺すことなく全部抱きしめて、自らを正面から表現し、ぶつかりあっていきます。そういう彼らが放つ言葉だからこそハッとさせられる、そんなシーンにたくさん出会えます。青春とは生き様のことだなぁと思わせてくれる、そんな素敵な物語です！

A conflict that everyone must have, even that girl who is usually cheerful. The characters probably have in common that they aspire to be art, but they hug them all without knocking them down, express themselves head-on, and collide with each other. I can encounter many such scenes that make me feel surprised only because of the words they emit. It's such a wonderful story that makes me think that youth is about a way of life!

It's packed with youth

夢を追うキラキラと苦しさが詰まっていて、昔の自分と重ねてキュッとなります。たくさんのキャラが関わりあって成長していく過程が魅力的で新刊を読むのを楽しみにしています。

It's filled with the sparkle and pain of chasing dreams, and it's amazing to layer on top of my old self. The process of many characters getting involved and growing is fascinating, and I'm looking forward to reading the new issue.

１５巻迄購読

Subscribe up to 15 volumes

刺さる人には刺さる作品。１巻で無理そうならそっと離れて欲しい気持ち。しんどい巻が終わった。重い話を突如ぶっこんでくる。先がわからないのが面白い。どうやったって蟹江さんがクッッソムカつくw ああいう人いるよね…感がまたリアルすぎてよけいに…

A work that sticks to people who stab. If volume 1 doesn't seem to be possible, I want you to leave quietly. The tough volume has come to an end. All of a sudden, I'm starting to talk about something heavy. It's funny that I don't know where to go. no matter how did you do that, Kanie is so smitten lol there are people like that... the feeling is so real again...

It's cheaper if you put it into words

とにかく最高の一言毎巻心揺さぶられます言葉にうまくできないけど、人間らしさがとにかく描かれていて心の奥底をギュッてされる感覚になりますやっぱり今巻も泣きました八雲…やっぱり好きだよ………

Anyway, every volume of the best words shakes my heart. I can't put it well into words, but the humanity is depicted anyway, and it makes me feel like I'm being tightened in the depths of my heart. After all, I cried in this volume, Yakumo... I love it after all...

アニメを観て購入した

I watched an anime and bought it

アニメで観て購入を決意。正直に言ってしまえば好き嫌いは激しい作品だと感じる。主人公の高校の思春期の葛藤や青春、芸術についての見方と考え方、好きな事をしたいという自由の責任など色々と読んでいる自身でも考えさせられる漫画である。主人公が努力して成長していく作品が好きならば面白く読める作品だと思う。個人的には好きな部類のでオススメ。

I watched the anime and decided to buy it. To be honest, I feel like it's a work with intense likes and dislikes. It is a comic that makes me think about various things, such as the protagonist's high school adolescent conflict and youth, views and ways of thinking about art, and freedom's responsibility to do what you like. If you like works where the main character makes an effort and grows, I think it's an interesting read. Personally, I recommend it because it's my favorite category.
