超よかった

That was super good

This review contains spoilers. 絵が好みじゃないかなと思いましたが、読んでみたら超よかった！絵もお話もとても上手な作家さんですね。大好きになりました。漫画家同士でゲイ×ノンケCP。豪くんのほのぼのとしていい意味で肩の力が抜けているところがとても好き。阿久根くんも落ち着いててかっこいいです。響の漫画や漫画家に対する偏見にはかなり腹が立ちましたが、その後の豪くんの「自分の漫画の主人公なら諦める展開にはしない」という言葉にグッときました。弱いところもあるけど芯の強い人。本編にHはないですが分冊版9話冒頭にちょっとあります。

This review contains spoilers. I thought I might like the picture, but it was super nice when I read it! The artist is very good at drawing and storytelling. I fell in love with it. Manga artists are gay x nonke CP. I really like the fact that Go-kun is losing strength in his shoulders in a heartwarming sense. Akune is also calm and cool. I was quite angry at Hibiki's prejudice against comics and manga artists, but I was taken aback by Go-kun's words after that, “If you're the main character of your own manga, you won't give up.” A person who has weak points but has a strong core. There is no H in the main story, but there is a little bit at the beginning of episode 9 of the split edition.

ホッコリ癒されました〜ニヤニヤしながら読んじゃいます? 絵もお話な雰囲気も好きデス。絵津さん作品にハマってます！

I was healed ~ are you reading while smirking? I love the picture, the story, and the atmosphere. I'm addicted to Ezu-san's work!

いいねー！

That's great!

ドキドキキュンキュンしました。本編はこの一冊で納めてますが、番外編が分冊版9巻にあるので、こっちでその後のラブっぷりをみて欲しい！

I was so excited. I paid for the main story in this one book, but since the extra edition is in 9 separate volumes, I want you to watch a lot of love after that here!

大好き

really like

切なく、それでいて絶大なく癒される…。なんだろう、読み終えた後がとても至福です。ごうくんは可愛いし阿久根くんはかっこいい。素敵で大好きな作品です。

It's sad, yet extremely healing... I wonder what it is, I feel so happy after I've finished reading it. Go-kun is cute and Akune-kun is cool. It's a wonderful work I love.

少女マンガみたいな絵??

a picture that looks like a shoujo manga??

この作家さんはよく見かけるので気になっていて、今回初めて読んだのですが、すごく良かったです?エロはかなり控えめなので、エロ重視の方には物足りないかもしれませんが、分冊版の最新話まで読むとちゃんとエロが入っているので(それでも控えめですが)、ストーリー重視の方にはオススメです??とても可愛いお話です?

I often see this writer, so I'm curious, and this is my first time reading it, and was it really good? The eroticism is pretty modest, so it may not be enough for those who focus on eroticism, but if you read the latest episode in the split edition, there's plenty of erotica in it (although it's still modest), so I recommend it for those who focus on the story?? this is such a cute story?

かわいい画柄に、ほのぼのしたストーリーだけでなく、ほろっとする。作者のファンになりました！

Not only is the cute pattern a heartwarming story, but it also makes you feel relaxed. I became a fan of the author!

続編希望

Hope for a sequel

豪くんの可愛さと阿久根くんのかっこよさに引き込まれました。とても面白かったです！ライバル？に攻撃されて凹む豪くんは少女漫画のヒロインぽいな〜守ってあげたくなる感じですね。でもプロの漫画家としての心構えはすごくカッコよくて、そのギャップに阿久根くんもやられたのかなーと思いました。漫画家同士の恋ということで、これからも仕事と恋にまつわる葛藤が色々ありそう。2人でどう向き合っていくのか、続編が読みたいなー是非お願いします！あと他のレビューでも書かれてましたが絵津鼓先生の描く受けのＨのときのエロさが大好きなので、もう少し多めに甘いシーンが見たいです。次回作もとっても楽しみです！！

I was drawn in by Go-kun's cuteness and Akune's coolness. It was so much fun! rivals? Go-kun, who is attacked and dented, is like the heroine in a girls' manga ~ it makes me want to protect him. But the attitude as a professional manga artist was really cool, and I was wondering if Akune-kun was hurt by that gap too. Since it's a love between manga artists, it seems like there will be various conflicts related to work and love from now on. I want to read the sequel to see how the two of them face each other, please! Also, it was written in other reviews, but I love the eroticism drawn by Ezuko sensei during the reception, so I'd like to see a few more sweet scenes. I'm really looking forward to the next one too!!

単行本待ってましたー

I've been waiting for the book

分冊版で一巻読んで、うあー面白いって思いながら次々出てたけどまとめて読みたいし何巻で完結かわからなかったから待ってたら単行本ようやく出て完結ってなってたから即買いました！待ってて良かった、買って良かった。豪君可愛いねー、阿久根君カッコイイポーカーフェイス的な所たまんないけどすっごい優しいしやるときはやるし。あー番外編はさすがに載ってなかったから分冊買いましたよ。買って正解、また出たら買うね！スーパーナチュラルシリーズが1番好きですがこれもいいわー。

I read one volume in the split edition, and it came out one after another while thinking it was wow interesting, but I wanted to read them all at once, and I didn't know which volume to complete, so when I waited, the book finally came out and it was complete, so I bought it right away! I'm glad I waited, I'm glad I bought it. Go-kun is cute, isn't he, Akune-kun's cool poker face is irresistible, but he's so kind and he does it when he does it. Oh, as expected, the extra edition wasn't listed, so I bought a separate book. I bought it and got it right, I'll buy it when it comes out again! I like the Supernatural series the most, but this one is good too.

個人的な思いもあり星５

Personal thoughts are also 5 stars

豪くんと阿久根くんの進展も気になりながらも、豪くんの漫画家としての周りの目や自身の葛藤など、とても胸に込み上げるものがありました。漫画家志望の私にはとても身に覚えのある豪くんの言葉。なので個人的な気持ちを込めて星５です。二人のイチャイチャもっと見たいです！

While I was concerned about the progress of Go-kun and Akune-kun, there were things that really stuck in my heart, such as Go-kun's surroundings as a manga artist and his own conflicts. Go-kun's words are very familiar to me as an aspiring manga artist. So I'm putting my personal feelings into it, 5 stars. I want to see more of them flirting!

良かった

good

分冊版読んで購入。1冊になるのを待ってました。なるほどと思うところが多くコロコロ表情が変わって可愛いです。自分も相手を好きになり、相手が自分を好きになってくれたらという擬似片思いの設定もキュンとします。欲を言えば分冊版の番外編もまとめて欲しかったです。

Read the split edition and buy it. I've been waiting for it to become 1 book. There are a lot of things that make sense, and her expression changes so it's cute. I also fall in love with my partner, and the simulated unrequited love setting where the other person likes me is also amazing. Speaking of greed, I also wanted the split edition extra editions to be put together.

★恋と仕事が絡み合う漫画家BL！

★ Manga artist BL where love and work are intertwined!

「JOY」全8話絵津鼓先生の新刊、首を長くして待ってました～！少女漫画家・豪と、4コマ漫画家で、豪のアシスタント・阿久根のお話。漫画家二人の、近付くようで近付かない絶妙な匙加減が良くて、胸がぎゅーっとなりました。そして今作はお仕事BLだけに、豪の気持ちになってダメージ強かった…。かなりイラッときちゃった！だからこそ阿久根の暖かさにほろり。あれじゃ、ますます惚れちゃう～！Hはさらりと見えない感じで途中まで。できれば甘々なシーンをもう少し見たかったような。……と思ったら、分冊版で(9)番外編が！！続けて読めて嬉しいけど、一冊にまとめて欲しかったような。「JOY 番外編」3ページ阿久根の草野球に連れていってもらったら…。

I've been waiting a long time for Ezuko-sensei's new book with all 8 episodes of “JOY”! A story about the girls' manga artist Go and Akune, a four-frame manga artist and Australian assistant. The two manga artists were so good that they seemed to get close but didn't get close, and it made my heart feel tight. And this work was just for work BL, and the damage was strong because it made me feel like I'm a big fan... I was pretty frustrated! That's why I'm so relieved by Akune's warmth. If that were the case, I would fall in love more and more! H made it all the way to the middle, feeling like I couldn't see it without hesitation. If possible, I would have liked to see a few more sweet scenes. ... and the (9) extra edition is in split edition!! I'm happy to keep reading it, but it seems like I wanted them all in one book. “JOY Extra Edition” page 3 If you take me to Akune Grass Baseball...

いつも思うんですが

I always think

This review contains spoilers. えつこさんの描かれる攻の包容力がすごいんですよね〜…泣きました。自分の生き方をそのまま受け入れてくれるっていいよね、でもそんな人なかなかいないよね、なんて思いながら読んでました。もちろんBLとしてもとてもいい作品だと思います。単話の旅行編も是非是非呼んで欲しいところです。

This review contains spoilers. The inclusiveness of the attacks depicted by Etsuko is amazing... I cried. I was reading it while thinking that it would be nice if they would accept my way of life as it is, but there aren't many people like that. Of course, I think it's a very good BL work. I definitely want you to invite the one-story travel edition as well.

悪いことはいわないので

I'm not saying anything bad

同時配信の分冊版9の温泉旅館番外編も併せてご購入ください(追記その後2巻に収録されました)本編はラブシーン2秒で終わりますのでそれまでもおたがいラブよね〜てやりとりに満ちていますので(2人にしゃしゃるそれぞれのキャラクターがなんか過剰すぎて戸惑うくらい)それはそれでもいいんですが、この作家さんのえろい受が大好きなのでおすすめしておきます。温泉旅行ブーストほんと少女漫画らしくていいですね♡

Please also purchase the hot spring inn extra edition of 9, which was distributed simultaneously (additional note, recorded in volume 2), and the main story ends with a love scene in 2 seconds, so it's still full of interaction (each character played by the 2 people is so excessive that it's confusing), but that's fine, but I love this writer's erotic reception, so I recommend it. It's nice that Hot Spring Trip Boost really looks like a girls' manga ♡

自覚をするとき

When you become aware

少女漫画家の主人公がBLを書くことになって、自分の性癖を自覚するその相手は、マンガ家であり、自分のアシスタントでもある人マンガ以外はからっきしダメな主人公にやきもきします

The main character of a girls' manga artist is going to write BL, and that partner who is aware of his own proclivities is a manga artist, and he is also his own assistant, and he is nervous about the main character who is clearly bad at anything other than manga

スキな雰囲気

Nice atmosphere

This review contains spoilers. 中身がぎゅーって詰まってるんですが、かわいいふわっとした絵だから、柔らかい感じの気持ちで読めました。豪くんが、わぁ〜ん、えーんってアクネくんに泣きつくのがかわいい〜。豪くんが、仕事で行き詰まったらよく泣きついてくるから、カギを開けっぱなしにしてあげてる？アクネくんの優しさにじーん。でも、そのせいで、長年カミングアウトしてこなかった場面にも、出くわしてしまった笑。豪くん結婚してるの？？とか途中もやっとあるんですが、よかったです。

This review contains spoilers. The contents are tightly packed, but since it's a cute, fluffy picture, I was able to read it with a soft feeling. Go-kun, wow, huh, it's cute when he cries at Acne-kun. Go-kun often cries when he gets stuck at work, so are you leaving the lock open for him? I'm amazed at Acne-kun's kindness. But because of that, I also ran into scenes where I hadn't come out for many years lol. Is Go-kun married?? It's finally halfway there, and I'm glad.

カワイイだけの話ではない

It's not just about being cute

男気のある攻・可愛い受というありがちな設定だけれども、実のところ、攻はかなり繊細だし、受は芯に強いものを持っている。それぞれが自立した創作者というのもあって、単に守り守られという関係に収束しない関係性という点も面白く読んだ。

It's a common setting with masculine attacks and cute hits, but as a matter of fact, attacks are pretty delicate, and they have something strong at their core. There is also the fact that each of them is an independent creator, and it was interesting to read that the relationship did not simply converge into a relationship of being protected and protected.

主人公2人は良かった

The two main characters were good

2人のキャラもやり取りも可愛らしくて良かったです。その分脇役の意味がちょっとわからない。もうちょっと違う人物でも良かったのになと思ってしまった。

I'm glad the characters and interactions between the two were so cute. So I don't understand the meaning of supporting characters. I thought it would have been nice if it was someone a little different.

なんだか、エロより話の面白さを読ませていただいた感覚です。日常的な、ファンタジーBLでなくて(笑)続きも購入します。

Somehow, I feel like I read the interesting story rather than the erotic one. It's not an everyday fantasy BL (lol) and I'm going to buy more.

星４つか？5つか？

4 stars? five?

自分の評価が甘いのはわかっているしかしっこのフワフワ感〜銭湯の湯気のようなホワホワ感裸で布団に入る暖まり具合そして攻めの彼名前が覚えられないが…太るのを気にしているマッチョ君か？カッコいい男が好きだっう〜む星は４つに減らすべきか？いつも通りの5つにすべきか？減らすなら他のマンガにしとくだな！あーでも編集ができない気持ちは星5つです

I know my evaluation is poor, but that fluffy feeling ~ feeling so fluffy like steam in a public bath, how warm he gets into the futon, and he's attacking, I can't remember his name... is that Macho who cares about getting fat? Should I reduce the number of stars I like cool guys to 4? Should we go with the usual five? If you want to reduce it, try another manga! Oh but the feeling of not being able to edit is 5 stars

可愛いです

It's cute

可愛らしい作品でした。受けくんも攻めくんも素敵です。特に、ぶっきらぼうな顔をしているけど好きだという気持ちを隠し通そうとしている攻めくんが良かった。

It was a lovely work. Both receiving and attacking are wonderful. In particular, Attack-kun, who has a blurry face but is trying to hide the feeling that he likes him, was good.
