おじさま素敵でした。

The old man was wonderful.

冴えないおじさん。職業作家。基本優しいけどH中は攻めめくり(特に最終話すごい！)おじさん好きには是非読んでほしい！その後のお話ももっと読みたい！

The dull old man. Professional writer. The basics are kind, but they are aggressive during H (especially the final talk is amazing!) If you like old men, I definitely want you to read it! I want to read more stories after that!

冴えないオヤジが実は・・・

The dull old man is actually...

This review contains spoilers. 感動して何回も読んでしまいました。冴えないオヤジの関根さんが受けの遥くんを優しく見守りながら包んでいく感じがとても胸が熱くなります。最後にカッコいいスパダリな関根さんが見れます。

This review contains spoilers. I was so moved that I read it over and over again. The feeling that Mr. Sekine, the dull old man, gently watches over Kakenohara-kun and wraps him up is very heartwarming. Finally, you can see the cool Spadari Mr. Sekine.

大人な話

An adult story

This review contains spoilers. 前半痛々しいし、切ないなと思いながら読んでいたのですが、後半読みながら泣いてしまいました。皆さんの言う通り先輩はクズでした。エロは多めで、BL初心者さんには刺激が強いかなと思いました。私はこの作品好きで何度も読み返しています。

This review contains spoilers. The first half was painful, and I was reading it while thinking it was sad, but I cried while reading the second half. As everyone said, Senpai was a scum. There was a lot of eroticism, and I thought it would be very stimulating for BL beginners. I love this work and have reread it over and over again.

良かった！

That was great!

受けの過去とか先輩との関係が辛かったけど、攻めが以外にしっかり？受けを離さないところがいいですね。

Your relationship with Senpai was difficult, like receiving in the past, but other than attacking, are you solid? It's nice that they don't let go of it.

評価低すぎ！

The rating is too low!

お話も面白い！絵も好みだし丁寧！絡みシーンな動きが感じられてとても良い！もっと評価高くても良いのに…と感じました。表題がダメ？とか？先輩のその後確かに気になる…不幸になっててくれ！笑予想外にとても良かったのでこれから梶本先生の作品漁りにいきます。

The story is interesting too! I like the pictures and they are very polite! It's so nice to be able to feel the movement of the entangled scene! I felt that it would be good to have a higher evaluation... the title is bad? or something? Senpai certainly bothers me after that... be unhappy! lol it was unexpectedly very good, so now I'm going to search for Kajimoto-sensei's works.

It's an annoying story, but it draws me in!

おせっかいなウザい話なのに、次が読みたくなり、引き込まれていく・・昔でいうATGの映画みたいないぶし銀のような作品。

Even though it's a nosy, annoying story, I want to read the next one, and I'm drawn in... it's like an old ATG movie.

おっさんの格好良さが詐欺

The good looks of an old man is a scam

受けの面長な顔が最初気になったけど、読んでるうちに慣れてカッコよく見えてきた。それにしても詐欺レベルでカッコよくなるおっさんだったわ。

At first, I was interested in his long face, but as I read it, I got used to it and began to look cool. Even so, he was an old man who got cool at the level of fraud.

かなしくてかなしくて

It's crazy it's crazy

This review contains spoilers. まず、ハッピーエンドです。大丈夫です。日常の会話も楽しい２人です。受けの彼は悲しい過去をもっています。そこにつけこむ、元カレが本当に嫌な悪いヤツで、幸せの邪魔をするから私の中では「死ねー！！」笑。たぶんコイツも受けのことが好きで好きで、手放したくなかったんだろうと思ってますが。途中、あまりに悲しいストーリーにしばらく読むのをやめてたので、読了に２週間ぐらいかかった。作風が暗くなりきらない所はこの作者さんの好きな所。作者さんごとおススメします。

This review contains spoilers. First, it's a happy ending. It's fine. They are two people who enjoy everyday conversation. The recipient has a sad past. My ex-boyfriend, who takes advantage of that, is a bad guy that I really don't like, and since he interferes with my happiness, I'm like, “Don't die!!” lol. I think this guy probably liked receiving things too and liked them, and they didn't want to let go. Halfway through, I stopped reading a story that was so sad for a while, so it took me about 2 weeks to finish reading it. The place where the style doesn't get too dark is what this author likes. I recommend each author.

良かったです

That was great

梶本先生の作品はどれも受けが愛されて愛されてメロメロになるのがとても良いです。関根さんも優しくてかっこよかった。クズがクズらしく成敗されたみたいでそれも良かった。あのクズにやられてるところが痛そうだったので星ひとつ減らしました。痛いの苦手…

It's so good that all of Kajimoto-sensei's works are received and loved, and become melodious. Mr. Sekine was also kind and cool. It seemed like scum was defeated like scum, and that was good too. Being hit by that scum seemed to hurt, so I reduced it by 1 star. I'm not good at pain...

作家先生とその先生が住む大家さんとのお話。おばぁちゃんから相続したボロアパートだけど先生が全て借りて…マンションにでもしちゃえばいいのにと思うけど愛着なんだろうな。元大家さんのおばぁちゃんもちょっと見てみたかったです。

A story about the writer teacher and the landlord where the teacher lives. It's a shabby apartment that I inherited from my grandmother, but my teacher rented everything...

最後まで読むべし

You should read until the end

This review contains spoilers. 終わり方が、あれ？え？終わった？てなって、最後のあとがきで回収されるというオチでした。ストーリーはわりと好き。まじクソな先輩出て来てほんと胸糞悪くなってたからちゃんと回収されて良かった笑本当は優しい子なのに、幸せになっちゃいけないと課してるのは辛すぎる。でも仕事やめるは言わんでよ！て思ったけど。自分のせいでまた…？て思わざるを得ないもんな、だからそこだけちょっと違うくない？と思ったけど結果よし。

This review contains spoilers. that's the way it ends, huh? huh? finished? Then, the punch line was that it would be collected in the final afterword. I like the story quite a bit. The seriously damn senior came out and my chest really got worse, so I'm glad it was properly collected lol even though he's actually a kind kid, imposing that he shouldn't be happy is too painful. But I didn't say I'm quitting my job! That's what I thought. because of myself again...? I can't help but think that's why it's just a little different, right? I thought, but the results were good.

関根さんが素敵。

Mr. Sekine is wonderful.

This review contains spoilers. 優しく、包容力ある感じがもういいです。相手を愛しむのと、遥がだすサインを見逃さないところとか。これは、惚れてしまうでしょう。それにしても、先輩はｸｽﾞだな～。最悪です。でも、だからこそ、関根さんのよさが際立つ。これが普通に愛されるということが認識できる。いい話でした。

This review contains spoilers. The feeling of being kind and tolerant is enough. Like loving your partner and not missing the signs Haruka gives off. You'll fall in love with this. Even so, Senpai is bad. It's the worst. But that's why Mr. Sekine's goodness stands out. I can recognize that this is usually loved. That was a great story.
