愛のかたち

The shape of love

This review contains spoilers. 作者様にどはまりした衝撃の作品です。ドキドキしながら一気買い一気読みしました。理想と希望のために誰もが色んなことを犠牲にしていった回想がどうにもこうにもせつなくやるせない。想いを通じ合いながらもその関係性を超えてはいけないリー様と王の姿にはキュッとなりました。そんな中どれだけラベルの天真爛漫な存在に助けられたかわかりません。父である王との再会は号泣でした。壮大な世界観のストーリーの根底にあるのはシンプルな「愛」であるこの作品、出会えて本当に良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. It's a shocking work that fell in love with the author. I was excited to buy them all at once and read them all at once. The recollections where everyone sacrificed so many things for ideals and hopes make me unable to do anything like this. I was taken aback by the sight of Mr. Lee and the king, who can't go beyond their relationship even though they have shared their feelings. Under such circumstances, I don't know how much the label's innocent presence helped me. I cried when I was reunited with my father, the king. I'm really glad I came across this work, which is a simple “love” at the root of the story with a grand worldview.

心が温かくなる

It warms my heart

This review contains spoilers. 他に見たことのないような展開で、非常に心が温まるストーリーでした。ハラハラするシーンもあり、そして、王がもういないことがとても切なくなりました。

This review contains spoilers. It developed like nothing else, and it was a very heartwarming story. There was also a harassing scene, and it made me very sad that the king wasn't there anymore.

ラベルの使役がたまらなく可愛い♡

The label's role is irresistibly cute ♡

This review contains spoilers. 魔法使いと暮らす子供の話。坂ノ上に居を構え暮らす魔法使いリー。そこには修行中の子供ラベルが一緒に住んでいます。設定や話の端々に丁寧な血液が流れていて、話に入り込んでしまえる説得力がある。お話に出てくる小さき使役が凄く可愛くて、そこばっかり見ちゃう自分がいました。魔法使いが生まれ変わるとか、使役に名前を授けると自我が生まれるとか、恋をしてはいけない命令があるとか、新しい決まりごとが沢山ある話なのに、全く分かりにくいことはなく、すんなり話に食い込んでしまう話のチカラには、驚くし読んでいて楽しくて、様々な命の選択のシーンでは泣けてきました。とても面白かったです。

This review contains spoilers. A story about a child living with a wizard. The wizard Lee lives and lives in Sakanoue. Labelle, a child in training, lives there together. Careful blood flows through every end of the setting and story, and it has persuasive power to get into the story. The little servant in the story was so cute that I just watched it all the time. Even though it's a story with lots of new rules, such as when a wizard is reborn, an ego is born when you give a name to an envoy, and there are orders not to fall in love, it's not at all difficult to understand, and it was fun to read, and it was fun to read, and it made me cry in various life choices scenes. It was very interesting.

面白かった

That was interesting

3巻とは思えないほど、とても面白かった。複雑な人間関係と緻密な世界観。ストーリーテラーの小説を読んだみたいな充足感。非常に素晴らしかった。

It was so interesting that I didn't think it was volume 3. Complex human relationships and a precise worldview. A sense of satisfaction, like reading a storyteller novel. It was very nice.

大好きです

I love it

明治カナ子先生のファンタジー物語。本当に良いお話。淡々とすすんでいく物語ですが、優しいお話なのです。

A fantasy story by Meiji Kanako sensei. It's a really good story. It's a story that progresses slowly, but it's a gentle story.

素晴らしき魔法の世界

A wonderful world of magic

初めて読みました。お話も絵柄も、何もかも大好物でした。時に設定と世界観に痺れました。続きやスピンオフも読んでみたいと思いました。

I read it for the first time. I loved the story, the design, everything. Sometimes I was overwhelmed by the setting and view of the world. I also wanted to read the continuation and spin-offs.

すばらしいファンタジー

amazing fantasy

This review contains spoilers. 初めは独特な雰囲気で購入を避けてましたが、やはり読んでみたいと思い読み出したら止まらない。人間と魔法使いが混合した世の中で、人間のラベルを育てながら魔法使いのリーの日常から、昔リーが仕えていた王とのこと、現実話と過去話を織り交ぜながらスケールの大きな愛の形を見た感じです。

This review contains spoilers. At first, I avoided buying it because of its unique atmosphere, but I still wanted to read it, so I couldn't stop reading it. In a world where humans and wizards are mixed, I feel like I've seen a large-scale form of love interlacing reality stories and past stories from the everyday life of Lee the Wizard while nurturing human labels, to the king that Lee served in the past.

涙が止まらない

I can't stop my tears

こんな壮大な話とは思わず読み始めました。深く広いお話で感情が揺さぶられました。こんなBLがあったとはと感嘆します。何度も読み直したくなるお話です。オススメします。まだまだ続きが読みたくなります。完結しちゃったのが寂しいです。

I started reading it without thinking it was such an epic story. My emotions were shaken by the deep and broad story. I'm impressed that there was such a BL. It's a story that makes me want to reread it over and over again. I recommend it. It still makes me want to read more. I'm sad that it's finished.

とにかく読んでみてほしい

Anyway, I want you to read it

This review contains spoilers. 絵柄が好みでなかったので、気になりつつ手に取るまで時間がかかりました。結果…なんでもっと早く読まなかったんだろうと猛反省！王と魔法使いの悲恋、王の子との何気ない生活、魔法使いリーの生き様に涙が止まらない。強い力を得るために幾度となく死を迎え脱皮してきた魔法使いリーは王族の力となり生きてきたのだけど、女王の縛りで色恋は決して許さぬ契約をしたため両想いだったであろう王とは決して結ばれる事はなく辛い負目を持ったままずっと生きている。忘れたい記憶と忘れたくない記憶の間で愛おしいラベルを護り育んでいるリー様がなんとも切なく、読み進めるたびに胸が苦しくなりました。使役がちょっと可愛かったり、クスッと笑っちゃう場面もあったり、かと思ったら残虐的なシーンもあったりと最後まで前のめりで読んじゃう面白さがあります。納得の高評価です。BL括りなのが勿体無いくらい。

This review contains spoilers. I didn't like the design, so it took me a while to pick it up even though I was curious. Results... I'm very sorry to wonder why I didn't read it sooner! I can't stop crying over the sad love between the king and the wizard, the casual life with the king's son, and the life style of wizard Lee. The wizard Lee, who died many times to gain strong power and came to life as the power of the royal family, but since the love affair made a contract that would never allow her due to the queen's restraint, she was never bound by the king, who would have had mutual feelings, and she lives with painful debts all the time. Lee, who protects and nurtures adorable labels between memories I want to forget and memories I don't want to forget, was so sad, and my heart ached every time I read on. There are scenes where the envoy is a little cute, there are scenes that make you laugh out loud, and there are also scenes that are cruel when you think about it, so it's fun to read it until the end. It's a convincing high evaluation. It's so unfortunate that it's wrapped up in BL.

上質なファンタジー、推薦図書！！

High quality fantasy, recommended book!!

何度も何度も読み返している大好きな作品です。とてもクオリティの高い独特な世界観。魔法使いの設定が細かい所まで作り込まれていて、夢が溢れ、魅力的。切なくも美しい愛のお話です。BLというジャンルに限らず、誰にでも自信を持ってオススメしたい。とにかく読んでほしくて、余計なことを語りたくなくなってしまう。何度読んでも色褪せない。星5じゃ足りないです。

It's a favorite work that I've reread over and over again. A unique world view of very high quality. The wizard's settings have been crafted down to the smallest detail, full of dreams, and fascinating. It's a sad yet beautiful love story. I would like to confidently recommend it to anyone, not limited to the BL genre. I just want them to read it, and it makes me not want to talk about unnecessary things. It won't fade no matter how many times you read it. 5 stars isn't enough.

素晴らしいファンタジー

great fantasy

BLというより、素晴らしいファンタジーでした。一読ではわからなかったことが、再読すると涙なしには読めなくなります…。心に蓋をすることを命じられた魔法使いと、その分身が存在することで、押さえ込まれた思いが見えるというのが秀逸。個人的には、ラベルが父である王にそっくりなわけではなく、朗らかだった母にもよく似ていることが嬉しかったです。王の代わりではなく、ラベルがラベルとしてリーのそばで幸せでいてくれて、本当に良かった。作者様、素晴らしい作品をありがとうございました！

Rather than BL, it was a great fantasy. What you didn't understand after reading it once, you won't be able to read it without tears when you reread it... Being able to see suppressed thoughts is excellent because of the existence of a wizard who was ordered to put a lid on his heart and his alter ego. Personally, I was happy that the label didn't look just like my father, King, and it was very similar to my cheerful mother. It was really nice that the label was happy beside Lee as a label, not in place of the king. Thank you very much, author, for your wonderful work!

愛に溢れた作品

A work full of love

1巻は、リー様と弟子のラベルのほのぼのとした話でクスッと笑い、2巻ではリー様の過去の話で、王宮との契約やリー様と王との切なく苦しい展開に心がギュッとなり、3巻では見事に伏線が回収されいて、読後の余韻が凄く良いです。素晴らしい作品に出会えたことを感謝します。

Volume 1 is a heartwarming story about Mr. Lee and his apprentice label, and volume 2 is a story about Lee's past, and my heart is tight about the contract with the royal palace and the sad and painful developments between Mr. Lee and the king, and in volume 3, the foreshadowing is brilliantly collected, and the afterglow after reading is really good. I am grateful that I was able to come across such a wonderful work.

Please read it anyway. A unique view of the world. I read it 2 or 3 times more than the 1st, and it's even more delicious. After I finish reading it, I gradually feel satisfied.

魔法使いになれるなら

If I could become a wizard

独特の絵柄なので、苦手な人は苦手かも。でもストーリーは面白いです。絵柄が結構変わる作者なので、他作品と比べると興味深い。魔法使いといっても、荒唐無稽ではないです。読後にじわじわくる作品。

It's a unique pattern, so people who don't like it may not like it. But the story is interesting. It's an artist whose designs change quite a bit, so it's interesting compared to other works. It's not ridiculous to say that they're wizards. A work that slowly comes to mind after reading it.

さすがレビュー評価どうり！

As expected, the reviews went well!

あまりにレビューが高かったので、釣りか？と疑いましたが（笑）確かに☆5です！！切ない恋愛感情と親子の情愛、パートナーへのリスペクト愛、全てが詰まっています。

The reviews were so high, is it fishing? I doubted it (laughs) but it's definitely ☆ 5!! It's all packed with sad romantic feelings, the love between parents and children, and the love of respect for a partner.

読んで損なし。すごくいいです。

There is no harm in reading it. It's really nice.

BLでくくられるのがなんだかな？って感じですが、作者の独特の世界観がよくて、一見暗いお話なんだけど読めば読むほど味わい深いというか。主役キャラ2人の隠と陽の魅力のバランスがすごくいいんですよね。切なすぎるお話ですがクスッと笑えるところもあるし、陽キャラのおかげで面白いところいっぱいです。絵本を読んでいるような漫画でストーリーもよく構成されていて、本当よかったです。ラスト最高でした。レビュー高評価で買ってみましたが良作品です。漫画は何万冊か読んでいますが、歴代20位に入るくらいです。是非読んでみてください。

I wonder what is wrapped up in BL? It feels like the author's unique worldview is good, and although it's a dark story at first glance, the more you read it, the more tasteful it is. The balance between the charms of the two leading characters, Hidden and Yang, is really good, isn't it? It's a story that's too sad, but there are places where it makes me laugh, and thanks to the Yo characters, it's full of interesting places. It's a comic that looks like you're reading a picture book, and the story is well-structured, which is really nice. The last one was awesome. I bought it with high reviews and it is a good work. I've read tens of thousands of comics, and I'm in the 20th place in history. Please read it.

最上級の慈愛を教えられた気がする

I feel like I was taught the highest level of charity

大好きなシリーズです。だから散らばっている小品もまとめて電子化してほしいなぁと切実に願います。「坂の上の日常」「くすりのじかん」に加えて一部の電書サイトにはある「ハレの衣」も。

This is my favorite series. So I really hope that scattered small items will also be collected and digitized. In addition to “Everyday Life on the Hill” and “Medicine Hat,” there is also “Hare no Kimono” on some e-book sites.

ファンタジー枠に載せた方が更に読まれそうやない？くらいオモロい内容だった！一気に読んだ笑！課金して読んでも余裕でアリだね！よかった

Wouldn't it be more likely to be read if you put it in the fantasy frame? The content was so funny! I read it all at once lol! Even if you pay to read it, you can still afford it! That was great

是非読んでみて！

Be sure to read it!

私がオンライン書籍で最初にハマった大好きな本。今でもとても大切な大事な本。「坂の上の日常」という一般流通していなかった小冊子を探しに探して入手したシリーズ。この本で一気に明治カナ子先生のファンになりました。風変わりな話で独特な絵柄なので万人受けではないかも知れません。でもちょっと気になるテイストでしょう？大好きな本なのでどうしてもお勧めしたいのです。

My first favorite online book that I became addicted to. An important book that is still very important today. This series was obtained by searching for a booklet that was not in general circulation called “Everyday Life on the Hill.” I instantly became a fan of Meiji Kanako sensei with this book. It's an eccentric story and has a unique pattern, so it may not be popular with everyone. But it's a slightly worrisome taste, isn't it? I love this book and I really want to recommend it.
