オススメです。

I recommend it.

単行本の発売スパンが長いので続きが猛烈に気になって仕方がなくなります。王子の成長と共に物語の核心に迫っていくストーリー展開は、鋼の錬金術士で完璧な大団円まで持って行った力量が健在です。

Since the sales span of the book is long, I can't help but be furiously worried about the continuation. The story development, which approaches the core of the story as the prince grows, is alive and well with the abilities that Fullmetal Alchemist brought to perfection.

登場人物がどれも凄く魅力的ですぐにはまりした｡個人的に中年男性や筋肉が好きなので荒川弘さんの作品はどれも大好きです!面白い!

All of the characters were so charming that I immediately fell in love with them. I personally love middle-aged men and muscles, so I love all of Hiroshi Arakawa's works! interesting!

田中芳樹さんの小説は面白いと聞いていて、それが荒川さんの絵でマンガになっていることを知り読んでみました。ストーリー、噂通りでした。面白いです。表情豊なキャラ、見応えのある戦闘シーン、安心して読めます。

I heard that Tanaka Yoshiki's novel was interesting, and I learned that it was made into a manga with Arakawa-san's pictures, so I read it. The story was as rumored. It's interesting. The expressive characters and spectacular battle scenes are safe to read.

I'm worried about the continuation.

アニメで、アルスラーン戦記を知りました。話も面白いのですが荒川さんの表現力で、さらに引き立てられていました。次が気になります

I learned about The Legend of Arslan from the anime. The story is also interesting, but Arakawa-san's expressive power further enhanced it. I'm worried about the next

文句なく

without complaint

面白いです。原作はかなり前からの超有名作ですが、荒川先生が味付けをつると魅力倍増ですね。荒川先生が多忙のようで、なかなか進んでいきませんが、気長に見守り続けたいと思います。

It's interesting. The original is a super famous work from quite a while, but when Arakawa-sensei adds seasoning, the appeal doubles. Arakawa-sensei seems to be busy, and it's not progressing easily, but I would like to keep watching patiently.

漫画も小説もアニメも面白い。

Manga, novels, and anime are interesting.

私はまずアニメを見て、それから続きが気になって漫画を買って、さらに続きが気になって小説まで買ってしまいました。一応漫画は3巻まで、小説は1部？まで読みました。出費は嵩みましたが、漫画と小説両方読んでよかったと思っています。小説ではあっさり書かれた部分や、なかった部分が漫画で書き足されていたり、違うところも楽しめます。絵とセリフを一緒に見られるためか、セリフが増やされているせいか、漫画のアルスラーン王子の方が可愛い感じがします。小説はどちらかというと不思議な王子という感じ。（アニメの王子は漫画寄りですが）私はどちらの雰囲気の王子も好きなので両方楽しめています。父母に好かれていない王子様が国を奪われ、仲間を増やしながら国を取り返そうとするお話で、少年漫画らしい成長物語です。どの媒体から入っても楽しめる作品だと思います。

I first watched the anime, then bought the manga because I was curious about the continuation, and even bought a novel because I was curious about the continuation. For the time being, up to 3 volumes of comics, and 1 novel? I read it until. Expenses have gone up, but I'm glad I read both comics and novels. The parts that were easily written in the novel and the parts that weren't there have been added in comics, so you can enjoy the different parts. I feel that Prince Arslan in the manga is cuter, probably because the pictures and lines can be viewed together, or because the number of lines has been increased. If anything, the novel feels like a strange prince. (The Prince in anime is close to comics) I like Prince with both vibes, so I enjoy both. It is a story about a prince who is not liked by his parents, who is robbed of his country and tries to take back his country while increasing the number of friends, and it is a coming-of-age story typical of a shonen manga. I think it's a work you can enjoy no matter what medium you enter from.

続きが気になる！

I'm worried about the continuation!

This review contains spoilers. 私はアニメから入ったのですが、続きが気になって我慢できず、一気に漫画を購入してしまいました。最初の1話目からいいですね！アルスラーンはまだまだ未熟ながらも、人として大切なことを分かっている。優しい王子だと思いました。原作の方も検討中です！

This review contains spoilers. I started with anime, but I couldn't stand it because I was worried about the continuation, so I bought comics all at once. It's great from the first episode! Even though Arslan is still immature, he knows what is important as a human being. I thought he was a kind prince. The original one is also under consideration!

I'm interested in this tag so I've been buying it since volume 1!!! I was drawn to the worldview and ended up reading the original story. I'm curious about how Arakawa-san will draw future stories. I can't wait for the next work.

私的にはありでした。

Personally, that was true.

原作はかなり昔に読んで所々覚えているだけで、キャラクターデザインは角川アニメ版の印象が強かったんですが(特にダリューン)、ダリューンはカッパノベルズのイラストベースなのかな？これはこれで『ありだ』と思いました。初っ端からオリジナルシナリオ差し込んでますが、これがなかなかいい味を出しています。(まさか初っ端からあの子を出してくると思いませんでした。会話がそのまんまだったので一発で『あ″!!?』と。大好きなキャラだったので嬉しいやら懐かしいやらで涙目でニヤニヤしてしまいました(笑))アルスラーンが原作よりも子供っぽいなと感じたり、庶民的だな～と感じたり(原作の設定からして納得のできる感じです)、所々改変していたり漫画ならではの表現に書き直されていたりですが、大筋は原作通りなので安心して読めました。他のキャラはどういう風に描いてくれるのか、あのシーンは？？と続きが楽しみで仕方がありません。今のところ大きな改変はあの子関連くらいですかね？今後どういう展開になるのか楽しみです。原作を読み返したくなりました！

I read the original story a long time ago and only remember a few places, and I had a strong impression of the character design from the Kadokawa anime version (especially Dallune), but I wonder if Dallune is based on an illustration of Kappanovels? I thought this was “possible.” The original scenario has been inserted from the beginning, and it has a pretty good taste. (I never thought they'd let that kid out from the beginning. The conversation went on like that, so I was like “ah″!!?” in one shot and. It was my favorite character, so I was happy and nostalgic and smirked with tears in my eyes (laughs)) I felt that Arslan was more childish than the original story, I felt that it was more popular (I'm convinced from the original setting), and it has been modified in places and rewritten with expressions unique to comics, but the general story is just like the original story, so I was able to read it with peace of mind. How would the other characters draw that scene?? I can't help but look forward to the continuation. The only major changes so far are related to that kid, aren't they? I'm looking forward to seeing what developments will take place in the future. It made me want to reread the original story!

次巻が待ちきれません

I can't wait for the next volume

話はアルスラーンの暮らす国が誇る強さ、それによってもたらされる栄華から始まります。これから始まる激動の前段階、嵐の前の静けさが、よりこの後の展開を引き立たせています。原作のアルスラーン戦記を読んだことが無いので分かりませんが、巻末の田中先生と荒川先生の対談を読む限り、こういったエピソードは、一部コミカライズオリジナルのようです。逆に、原作のエピソードを削っている部分もあるらしく、原作以外は認めないという方で無ければ、そのような部分も楽しめるかと思います。主人公のアルスラーンは頼りなく世間知らずですが、聡明さを覗かせていて、今後どんな英雄に成長するのか楽しみです。荒川先生によってコマの隅々まで描かれた風景や人々の様子が、世界観をしっかり伝えてくれますので、入り込み易いです。序盤から伏線めいたものが結構張られていて、この話の骨太さを感じられます。原作も読んでみたくなりました。巻末の田中先生と荒川先生の対談も、なかなか面白いです。

The story begins with the strength that the country where Arslan lives is proud, and the prosperity brought about by it. The stage before the upheaval that is about to begin, the calm before the storm further enhances the developments that followed. I haven't read the original The Legend of Arslan, so I don't know, but as far as I read the conversation between Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Arakawa at the end of the book, it seems that some of these episodes are comicalized originals. Conversely, it seems that there are parts where episodes from the original story have been cut, and if you don't approve anything other than the original, I think you can enjoy those parts as well. The main character, Arslan, is unreliable and naive, but he shows off his intelligence, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of hero he will grow into in the future. The scenery and people depicted every corner of the frame by Professor Arakawa clearly conveys the view of the world, so it's easy to get in. There was quite a bit of foreshadowing from the beginning, and I can feel the breadth of this story. It made me want to read the original story too. The conversation between Tanaka sensei and Arakawa-sensei at the end of the book is also quite interesting.

I was surprised that Comicalize was Arakawa Hiroshi from Hagaren. It's just a super big tag, so it's a great read! It seems that Yoshiki Tanaka is also looking forward to the continuation. I'm looking forward to the next volume!!

国が変わったキングダムのような作品です。絵を担当している人が鋼の錬金術師の作者が描いているだけあって絵がとても綺麗で読みやすいです。

It's a work like Kingdom Where Countries Have Changed. The person in charge of the picture is only drawn by the author of Fullmetal Alchemist, so the pictures are very beautiful and easy to read.

原作に無い展開

Developments not in the original

This review contains spoilers. 今までも原作には無い展開もあったけど、23巻は殆どコミカライズのオリジナル展開？死んだアンドラゴラが魔導士の術で復活して、これからアルスラーンと闘うんだよね？蛇王ザッハークと闘うのも控えてると思うから、国王と決闘し死ぬことは無いと思うけど、死闘は必須なんだろな。どうあれ、原作のようなやっつけな投げ出した様な終わり方はして欲しく無為…あれはあまりに辛過ぎた、荒川弘版のアルスラーン戦記はどうか、アルスラーンがパルスの国王となり後世まで解放王と語り継がれる物語で終わってほしい。

This review contains spoilers. Until now, there have also been developments that haven't been in the original story, but are volumes 23 mostly original comicalized developments? The dead Andragora has been revived by the Sorcerer's Art, and now they're going to fight Arslan, right? I think they're also refraining from fighting Zahak, the Snake King, so I don't think they'll duel to death with the king, but I wonder if a battle to the death is essential. No matter what, I want it to end in a sluggish way like the original story, so it's useless... I want it to end with a story where Arslan becomes the king of Pulse and is handed down to future generations as the King of Liberation.

銀英伝の田中芳樹の作品を鋼錬の荒川弘が！

Works by Yoshiki Tanaka from Gin Eiden by Hiroshi Arakawa from Fullmetal!

昔、小説全部読んだのですがもうすっかり内容忘れていて、荒川弘さんが漫画にしてくれたのでもう一度楽しむ事が出来ました。国を失った王子が苦労しながら仲間を集めて…とお馴染み展開で目新しさは無いですが充分楽しめます。

A long time ago, I read all the novels, but I had completely forgotten the content, and Hiroshi Arakawa made them into comics, so I was able to enjoy them again. It's a familiar development where the Prince, who lost his country, gathers his friends while struggling... there's nothing new, but you can fully enjoy it.
