不思議な面白さ

Strangely fun

レビュー評価が高いので読んでみました。なるほど静かーに話に吸い込まれ、ラベルがどんな風に成長するのか見守りたい気持ちになります。古い絵本の挿絵のようなペンタッチで不思議な温かさがあります。BLって事を忘れて読んでいたらちょっとショッキング...

The reviews were highly rated, so I read it. I see, I'm quietly absorbed in the conversation, and I feel like I want to watch how the label grows. It has a strange warmth with a pen touch like an illustration from an old picture book. I was a little shocked when I forgot about BL and read it...

ほのぼのとダーク。ずっと読んでいたい。

Heartwarming and dark. I want to read it all the time.

大魔法使いリーとその「養い子」ラベルの生活で始まる1巻目。独特のタッチと牧歌的？な日常、垣間見える闇の部分にひきこまれます。BLはどこ？という思いも2巻目（別タイトル）でどーでも良くなり、3巻目（同じく）は毎ページ感動。。。登場人物それぞれがせつなく、誰もが印象深い。星5つ以上です。絵柄もキャラクターの風貌もそれありき、私には最大の魅力ですが小さい使役はなぜあの姿？ラベルの使役がアップで出る度何ともむずかゆさに襲われつつ愛しくてたまらない。

This is the first volume that begins with the life of the great wizard Lee and her “adopted child” label. A unique touch and idyllic? I am drawn into the dark part of everyday life that I can catch a glimpse of. Where's BL? That thought became better in volume 2 (different title), and I was moved every page in volume 3 (same)... Each of the characters is intense, and everyone is impressive. 5 stars or more. Both the design and the character's appearance are there, and it's the biggest appeal to me, but why do small messengers look like that? Every time the usefulness of the label comes up, it's so unbearably adorable even though it's being attacked by indescribable pain.

ラベルとリー様

LaBelle and Mr. Lee

1巻はbl要素無しです。ただひたすら少年ラベルと魔法使いリー様の同居生活を堪能して下さい。2人はどういう経緯で一緒に暮らすようになったか…想像しながら読めるようにリー様の過去を織り交ぜながら物語は進行していきます。1巻はラベルが主役。私はもうラベルが可愛くて可愛くて…見た目もおメメぱっちり素朴顏がツボ(^^)リー様にはたまに生意気言うけどスゴく尊敬しているのがわかる。そんでやっぱりどこか聡明で…やはり高貴な血筋ですね！ラベルがいるだけでなんかほのぼの〜笑 (あっ勿論リー様も威厳があってステキです)世の中に対する好奇心がいっぱいの子供らしい子供で可愛いです。3巻まで読んだ後読み返すと(ラベルその後成長してしまうので)親のような気持ちで、子供時代はかけがえないものだなぁと感慨に浸ってしまう1巻なのでした。

Volume 1 has no bl elements. Please just enjoy the cohabitation life of Shonen Label and Wizard Lee. How did the two come to live together... The story progresses while interweaving Lee's past so that you can read it while imagining it. The label plays the leading role in volume 1. I already have cute and cute labels... they look great and have a really simple face (^^) I can see that they sometimes say cheeky things to Mr. Lee, but they really respect him. So after all, they're somewhat intelligent... after all, they're from a noble lineage! It's kind of heartwarming just because the label is there lol (ah, of course, Mr. Lee is also majestic and wonderful), and she's cute and childlike kid with a lot of curiosity about the world. After reading up to 3 volumes, I felt like a parent (since the label grew up after that), and it was volume 1 that immersed me in emotion that my childhood was irreplaceable.

可愛い?

cute?

ラベルが可愛いです。ＢＬ分類されてるのに、ＢＬ度はすごく薄いけど、そんなのどうでも良いくらいに、満足しました！一巻だけだと、魔法使いとその弟子の日常生活を、楽しむような可愛い内容でした。二巻→三巻と読み進めると、とんでもなく深い内容だったことを、知ります。購入して良かったと感動するストーリーなので、お勧めです。

The label is cute. Even though it's classified as BL, the BL level is very thin, but I was so satisfied that I didn't care about that! If it was just one volume, the content was so cute that I enjoyed the daily lives of wizards and their apprentices. If you read from volume 2 to volume 3, you'll notice that the content was ridiculously deep. I recommend it because it's an inspiring story that I'm glad I bought it.

BL要素は少ないですよ

There are few BL elements

一般的なBLを求めてる方には物足りないだろうし、BL嫌いな方には少し苦手な表現も入ってるかな？1巻が安かったので買ったのですが、『2、3巻読めば、この子が成長して…おっさん受の話になるのか？！』とか思ったりしたのですが、想像していた展開じゃなかったのですが、世界感が凄く面白いし、個々の個性も素敵だし、笑いあり、涙ありでとても面白かったです。みんなにオススメしたいです。

It's probably not enough for those looking for BL in general, and are there expressions that people who don't like BL are a little bad at? Volume 1 was cheap, so I bought it, but “if I read 2 or 3 volumes, this kid will grow up... will it be an old man's story?!” I thought something like that, but it wasn't the development I had imagined, but the sense of the world was really interesting, the individual personalities were wonderful, there was laughter, and there were tears, so it was very interesting. I would recommend it to everyone.

奥が深い

It's deep

シリーズ全部を読んでの感想です。奥が深いです。人間愛。切ないけれども大人な感じ。恋でなく、愛でもなく、人間愛です。親が子を思う愛、大切な人を思う愛、自分のことだけを考えてたら感じることのできない大きな愛があります。BLで初めて泣いたかも。シリーズ全部（３冊）を読んで分かります。サンプルは惹かれなかったけれど、評価の高さを信じ購入してよかったです。坂の上の魔法使い215ページ、無二の王235ページ、黄金の川岸259ページ。

These are my impressions after reading the entire series. It's profound. human love. It's sad but it feels mature. It's not love, it's not love, it's human love. There is love for parents to think of their children, love for loved ones, and great love that you can't feel if you only think about yourself. Maybe I cried for the first time in BL. You can understand it by reading the entire series (3 books). I wasn't attracted to the sample, but I'm glad I bought it because I believed in the high evaluation. The Wizard of Saka no Ue, page 215, page 235, Golden River Bank page 259.

静かで、海のように深い愛

A love as quiet and deep as the sea

この巻は、ほんの序章。一回目に読んだ時は肩透かしをくらった感じ。魔法使いと少年の弟子のただの日常。ラブな展開はないし、敵対する魔法使いが気持ち悪いし。もう一度丁寧に読むと、リー様と亡き王との秘めた想いがジワリと見え隠れ…。続きが気になる！！続編の２、３も読みました。良い??? 静かな海のように深い、かけがえのない関係。恋愛を超越した愛。そんな感じです。この巻だけでは良さがあんまり分からないかも。全部通しては☆５以上です。

This volume is just a preface. The first time I read it, I felt like I had a watermark on my shoulder. Just everyday life of a wizard and a boy's apprentice. There are no romantic developments, and the hostile wizards are disgusting. When I read it carefully again, the hidden feelings between Mr. Lee and the late king were completely hidden in sight... I'm worried about the continuation!! I also read 2 and 3 of the sequels. good??? An irreplaceable relationship as deep as a quiet sea. A love that transcends romance. It's like that. Maybe you don't really understand the merits of this volume alone. It's ☆ 5 or higher through everything.

すごく好きです！

I really like it!

試し読みをオススメします。表紙だけじゃ判断出来ない奥深さを感じられるでしょうし、読み始めたら止まらない！！イッキに三巻迄読みきってしまいました。BL要素は少な目ですが、とても心暖まるものがあります。うまく言えないけど、エロエロより良いかな

I recommend a trial reading. You'll be able to feel the depth that you can't judge from the cover alone, and once you start reading it, you won't be able to stop!! I was able to read up to 3 volumes in no time. There are few BL elements, but there is something very heartwarming. I can't say it well, but I wonder if it's better than erotic

心温まる?

heartwarming?

はじめはどういった話なのかと、表紙や内容説明だけではミステリアスすぎてなかなか手が伸びませんでしたが、思い切って3巻まとめて購入しました。すごく良かったです。りー様の後悔や懺悔が、ラベルの慎ましやかでそれでいて奔放な心に触れて溶けていく。心が切なくなるけれどほんのり暖かいお話でした。王様も素敵でした。

At first, I was wondering what kind of story it was, and the cover and content explanation alone were so mysterious that I couldn't reach it easily, but I took the plunge and bought 3 volumes at once. It was really good. Ree-sama's regrets and repentance melt away when they touch the label's modest yet unbridled heart. It was a heart-wrenching, yet slightly heartwarming story. The king was lovely too.

I was interested in standing reading, so I bought it, but I read it all at once! The magical sense of the world and the design match so well that I'm drawn in and I've only read up to 10 episodes yet, but I'm going to read more!

面白かった

That was interesting

これＢＬかな？と思うけど…確かにＢＬではあるけれど、世界観がそこに留まらずファンタジー漫画としてのクオリティが高いです。絵柄やストーリーにも好き嫌いは分かれそうですが、個人的には遙か昔に読んだポーの一族を思い出した。いや、全然違うんですけどね。ちょこちょこ出てくる使役が可愛くないのに可愛いと思ってしまう不思議。一回読んだだけでは複雑でちゃんと理解出来なかったので、また読み直そうと思います。

is this BL? I think... it's certainly BL, but the world view doesn't stop there, and the quality is high as a fantasy comic. There seem to be differences in likes and dislikes about the design and story, but personally, it reminded me of Poe's family, which I read a long time ago. No, it's totally different, though. It's strange that the messengers that come up here and there think they're cute even though they aren't cute. After reading it once, it was complicated and I couldn't understand it properly, so I think I'll reread it again.

不思議な魅力

Mysterious appeal

This review contains spoilers. 表紙の雰囲気から、真面目さが強いのかなと思っていましたが、なかなか淡々としつつズレた感じがあったり、庶民的なやり取りがあったり、ファンタジーだけれど現実的なドライさがあったり、面白かったです。出だしの印象は「好みと違うかなぁ～」でしたが、一冊読み終わるころには「面白い」と、この作品の空気が好きになっていました。BL作品という程の萌えはないですが、今後、過去の出来事や、人間関係が明かされて行けば、どうなるのかな……という印象。BLというジャンルに閉じ込めるような作風ではないのかなという気もします。続きの本も購入しようと思います！

This review contains spoilers. From the atmosphere on the cover, I was wondering if it was serious, but it was interesting because it was quite bland yet misaligned, there was common communication, and there was a sense of dryness even though it was fantasy but realistic. My first impression was “I wonder if it's different from my taste,” but by the time I finished reading one book, I had come to like the atmosphere of this work, saying it was “interesting.” It's not as exciting as a BL film, but I have the impression that if past events and relationships are revealed in the future, what will happen... I also have a feeling that it's not a style that confines you to the BL genre. I think I'll buy more books too!

期待を込めて

With anticipation

まるっと表題作で過去に何かある魔法使いとその弟子のお話し。シリーズ1作目で1冊ごとにお話しが終わってるのかとおもいきや思いっきり途中でこの巻は終わります。おそらくシリーズ3冊全て読めばわかるのだろうと。…期待を込めて。

It's a full title story about a wizard and his apprentice who had something in the past. It's the first film in the series and I wonder if the story is over for each book, but I'll finish this volume halfway through. I think I'll probably understand it if I read all 3 books in the series. ... with anticipation.
