殺し屋がかっこいいのよ

Killers are cool

主人公のいけてない顔の殺し屋がかっこいいのよ。実写では岡田君がやってたけど、岡田君では顔が良すぎる。将棋の藤井壮太プロにやってほしかった。

The main character, the killer with a smug face, is so cool. Okada-kun did it in the live action, but Okada-kun has a too good face. I wanted Fujii Sota, a professional shogi player, to do it.

まじでおもろい

It's really interesting

主人公が誰にも負けないぐらい最強でストレスがないしストーリーもめっちゃおもろい絵も超リアルで全部読んじゃったアニメ二期たのしみ！

I enjoyed the second season of the anime where the main character was so strong that it was second to none, so stress-free, and the story and really interesting pictures were super realistic!

面白い。

It's interesting.

This review contains spoilers. 何回読んでも面白い作品です。シリアスな場面もあるけどクスッと笑える部分もあって好きです。推しはタコちゃん。

This review contains spoilers. It's an interesting work no matter how many times you read it. I like it because there are serious scenes, but there are also parts that make me laugh out loud. I recommend Octopus.

ギャグ、シリアス、萌え全部詰まってます！

Gags, seriousness, and moe are all packed up!

This review contains spoilers. The　third　secret最新話まで連載で追ってます。いま読んだ最新話が神回で歓喜余ってのレビュー。この最初のシリーズが一番好きです。ちょっとのつもりで読み返すと嵌ってしまう。ジワジワと笑わせてくるセンスが良いし、笑わせといてからのシリアスシーンの緩急のつけ方がホントにお上手です。ドキドキとソワソワと漫画の良さの要素が詰まってます。もうね、アキラがやっぱりメロい罪な男だわ。脇役も魅力的だし、語ると論文になりますw特にこのシーズンの最終巻の22巻のエモさったらないです！まさかミサキちゃんに指輪を渡すシーンが見られるとはね〜！もうよく分からない声出しながら、泣きましたよ。ここで「尊い」をもってくるなんてズルい!!

This review contains spoilers. I'm following the latest episode of The Third Secret in a series. I was overjoyed by the latest story I just read in Kamikai. I like this first series the best. If you reread it with a slight intention, it will fit in. They have a good sense of making me laugh, and they're really good at putting on serious scenes slowly and quickly after making them laugh. It's packed with elements of excitement, fidgety, and the goodness of comics. Well, Akira is a horrible criminal man after all. The supporting characters are also fascinating, and if you talk about it, it becomes a paper lol I don't particularly like emo from volume 22, which is the last volume of this season! I never thought I'd be able to see a scene where she gives a ring to Misaki! I cried while making a voice I didn't really understand anymore. It's foolish to bring “precious” here!!

良き！

good!

映画を観てからコミックへ。プロから普通になる明が、やっぱり普通に慣れてなくてちょっとコミカルな感じがいいですね。ヨウコの飲んだくれっぷりと男をもて遊ぶ様がめちゃおもしろいです。社長の漢っぷりもいいですね。ゆっくり集めてるのでまだ全巻揃えていないですが、長〜く楽しみたいなと思います。

After watching a movie, I went to comics. Akira, who has gone from professional to normal, is still not used to normal, and it's nice that it's a bit comical. The way Yoko drinks a lot and plays with the man is really interesting. The president's personality is also nice. I'm slowly collecting them, so I haven't finished all the volumes yet, but I think I want to enjoy it for a long time.

絶妙にツボ

Exquisitely pressure points

伝説の殺し屋が一年普通の人として殺し屋稼業を休業、ってだけでもだいぶ面白いふりだと思うのですが、もう主人公の佐藤(仮)のズレた感じが諸々ツボに入ってしまってハマってしまいました。他のヤのつくお仕事の人たちも、妹(仮)も、なんかみんな面白い。個人的に新しい笑いの扉を開いてきた作品でした！

I think it's quite an interesting pretense just for the legendary killer to be closed from the killer business as a normal person for a year, but the main character, Sato (provisional)'s sense of misalignment, has already gotten into various pressure points, and I'm addicted to it. The other people who work as well as my younger sister (provisional) are all kind of interesting. It was a work that personally opened a new door to laughter!

やっぱり最高!

After all it's awesome!

もともとザ・ファブルは軽く読んで知ってたんだけど、実写映画観て、かなり面白くてマンガを読み返したら、映画なんかより凄く面白かった!ファブルも、かなり面白いキャラだけど、周りを取り巻くキャラも最高です！絵は少年マンガ!って感じだけど、読んでると味として浸透しましたw

I originally knew The Fable by reading it lightly, but after watching the live-action movie, it was pretty interesting and reread the manga, it was so much more interesting than the movie! Fable is also a pretty interesting character, but the characters that surround him are also amazing! The picture is a shonen manga! It feels like that, but as I read it, it penetrated as a taste lol

最高です

It's the best

This review contains spoilers. 実写映画からはいりました。めちゃくちゃ面白い！とんでもない殺し屋なのに憎めず、一般人では対抗できない問題を軽々解決してくれるのでいい人に見えてしまうくらいキャラがいい！ギャグもアクションも最高です！

This review contains spoilers. I started with a live-action movie. It's insanely interesting! Even though they're ridiculous killers, they can't be hated, and they easily solve problems that ordinary people can't counter, so the characters are so good that they look like good people! The gags and action are awesome!

痛快！

Exhilarating!

This review contains spoilers. こういう絵が苦手なので、初めはちょっとどうかなと思っていたけど、読んでみるとすごく面白い！個人的には妹ちゃんのキャラが好きです。

This review contains spoilers. I'm not good at this kind of picture, so I was wondering how it would be at first, but when I read it, it was really interesting! Personally, I like the character My Little Sister.

That was interesting

アキラとミサキ、良かったね。アキラと暮らせる人はなかなかいないと思いますが、ミサキちゃんなら。ミサキちゃん幸あれです！

Good for Akira and Misaki. I don't think there are many people who can live with Akira, but if it's Misaki. That's Misaki's good fortune!

セリフ

Serif

噂に聞いていた通り、セリフの「—」がいい味を出してます。これが無いとファブルじゃない、と思うまでになりました。

As I've heard rumors, the line “—” has a nice flavor. I've come to the point where I think it wouldn't be Fable without this.

This review contains spoilers. シリアスとギャグの塩梅が絶妙です。劇画タッチで男性向けの絵ですが、ハードなグロや残酷な描写はないので、アングラ系に抵抗が無ければ女性でも楽しめると思います。主人公の猫舌は単なるネタかと思っていたら、ちゃんと理由があったんですね。妹も記憶力がいいだけの助手ポジションかと思っていたら、実は現役暗殺者も顔負けの実力者だったところが意表を突かれて面白かったです。

This review contains spoilers. The seriousness and gag Shiobai are exquisite. It's a picture aimed at men with a dramatic touch, but there are no hard grossing or cruel depictions, so I think women can enjoy it if they don't resist the Angra genre. When I was wondering if the main character's cat tongue was just a story, there was a good reason. When I was wondering if my little sister was in an assistant position just because she had a good memory, I was surprised and interesting that in fact, the fact that the active assassin was also an unbeatable person.

裏社会モノ苦手な人にもオススメ

Also recommended for people who don't like underworld stuff

自分は裏社会モノはちょっと、、、と敬遠しがちだったのですが、これは好き。佐藤くんもヨウコさんもいいけど、読み進めていくうちにジャッカルにハマる佐藤くんの気持ちがわかってきたw私もジャッカルスタンプが欲しい。

I tend to shy away from underworld stuff... but I like this one. Both Sato-kun and Yoko are good, but as I read on, I came to understand how Sato-kun is addicted to jackals lol I want jackal stamps too.

佐藤君大好き

I love you, Sato-kun

This review contains spoilers. 内容はエグいが佐藤君の言葉が心にささりますコミカルなところもあり大ファンですアニメから入ったのであきらの声はピッタリでいいなぁその声をイメージして読み進めると更に深みにはまる感じただミサキちゃんとの結末にはやや不満

This review contains spoilers. The content is bad, but Sato-kun's words speak to my heart, and there are comical parts, and I'm a big fan. Since I came in from the anime, it's nice that Akira's voice is perfect, I feel like I'm even more deeply immersed in it when I imagine that voice and read on, but I'm a little dissatisfied with the ending with Misaki

こんなに面白いとは思わなかった。終わり方も完璧。何回も読み返したくなるコミックはあまりないが、ファブルは今後何回も読み返すだろう。

I didn't think it would be this funny. The way it ends is perfect. There aren't many comics I want to reread over and over again, but I'm sure Fable will reread it over and over again in the future.

アニメと実写から

From anime and live action

ファブルを知ったのはアニメ版と実写からです。幼い頃から暗殺のエリート教育を受けた男が、1年間普通の生活をする、殺しはしないと約束されてある意味放逐？された状態で戸惑いながら、人として生きていくすべを学んで行く？ストーリーでした。普通の漫画とか小説だと、何かされてそのあと復讐のために強くなって行くタイプが多いですが、こちらの作品はその逆を行ってて、とても面白かったです。なんだかんだでその能力を使い手助けをしてしまう主人公は根っからの快楽◯人者ではないのだと安心して読み進めました。妹役に一緒に居るバディ？の女性も大酒のみで絡んでくる男達をヘベレケにさせて楽しんでいて笑わせていただきました。続きもあるので読ませていただきます。

I first learned about Fable from the anime version and live action. A man who received elite education from an early age lived a normal life for 1 year, promised not to kill, and was banished in a sense? Are you going to learn how to live as a person while being bewildered in a state where you are? It was a story. When it comes to normal comics and novels, there are many types that do something and then become stronger for revenge, but this work does the opposite, and it was very interesting. I read on with peace of mind that the main character, who somehow uses that ability to help, is not an inveterate person of pleasure. A buddy who plays the role of a younger sister with you? The woman also enjoyed making the men involved only drink big alcohol and made me laugh. There is also a continuation, so I'll read it.

想像と全然違った。

It was completely different from what I had imagined.

ヤクザのバトルモノだと思ってスルーしていたが、面白かった。だんだんみんなが可愛く見えてくる。もちろん痛快。

I thought it was a Yakuza battle thing, so I went through it, but it was interesting. Everyone is starting to look more and more cute. Of course it's exciting.

自然でフラット、純粋な殺し屋

A natural, flat, pure killer

ただ呼吸をする様に仕事をこなせる最強の殺し屋が、殺人を封印して一般人の『ふつう』を学んでいく(？)のが面白くて可愛らしい。ボスに釘を刺されているので、殺しや厄介事を起こさない為の回避の工夫も笑える。実写映画を観たことあって、漫画は何となく読まないでいたけど早く読むんだったー！

The strongest killer who can do his job as if he were just breathing seals murder and learns the “normal” of ordinary people (?) It's funny and cute. Since the boss has been stabbed with a nail, the ingenuity of evasion in order not to cause death or trouble is laughable. I've watched live-action movies, so somehow I didn't read comics, but I read them fast!

惚れます

I'm in love

冒頭から意外な展開でどんどん話に引き込まれた。最初は、主人公のアキラはブサイクキャラ？と思ってしまったけれど、読み進めるうちに超絶カッコイイと思うようになった。“妹”のヨーコも美人で、なんでもござれ的にやりのけて、終盤気づくとヨーコのファンになっていた。ファブルのメンバーみな、確固たるプロ・匠の域で仕事を全うするが、人道的な心もちゃんとある。心にグッとくる場面も多く、アキラ始めとするファブルや海老原組長やクロや鈴木や社長、どんどん好きになっていった。人間の生きる道や業などについて思い巡らし、大好きな漫画になった。

From the beginning, I was drawn more and more into the story due to unexpected developments. At first, is the main character, Akira, a ugly character? It made me think, but as I read on, I began to think that it was transcendently cool. Her “younger sister,” Yoko, was also beautiful, and she did everything, and when she noticed the end, she became a fan of Yoko. All members of Fable complete their work in the field of solid professionalism and craftsmanship, but they also have a proper sense of humanity. There were also many scenes that came as a surprise to my heart, and I fell in love with Fable, starting with Akira, Ebihara Group Chief, Kuro, Suzuki, and the president. It made me think about the way humans live and their work, etc., and it became my favorite comic.
