他の方のレビューにあるように、一回読んだだけでは誰が誰だか混乱することもあるかもしれません。フォスに至っては色々あってもう一巻の面影ゼロです。ですが設定も物語もとても面白いのでぜひ読んでみて欲しい装丁がとても綺麗なので個人的には本で買うことをお勧めします。

As others have reviewed, you may be confused about who is who after just reading it once. There are a lot of things going on when it comes to Foss, and there are zero vestiges of the other volume. However, the setting and story are very interesting, so I definitely want you to read it. The binding is very beautiful, so I personally recommend buying it as a book.

気になっていた作品です

It's a work I was interested in

以前タイトルを聞いたことがあり、ずっと気になっていたので今回読ませていただきました。綺麗な絵、キャラクターの関係性、ストーリー、何をとっても素敵です！宝石の名前も覚えられますし、一石二鳥、かな？

I've heard the title before, and I've always been interested, so I read it this time. The beautiful pictures, the relationships between the characters, and the story are all so wonderful! I can also remember the names of jewels, and I wonder if it's two birds with one stone?

萌え要素盛り沢山

Lots of moe elements

擬人化、中性、SF、戦い、あんまり詳しくないんですが、萌え要素だらけだなーと思いました。すごくデザイン性高くて綺麗だなって惹き込まれましたが、結局かわいいセクシーは突き詰めると萌え系になるのかも...。ストーリーも斬新で謎が多くてどうなるか楽しみです。

I'm not really familiar with anthropomorphism, neutrality, sci-fi, and battles, but I thought it was full of emotional elements. I was drawn to the fact that they are so well-designed and beautiful, but in the end, cute and sexy things might turn out to be irresistible... The story is novel and there are many mysteries, so I'm excited to see what happens.

脆くはかない戦う宝石たち

Fighting jewels that are not brittle

市川さんのファンです！ただ、独特なイラストで、何度か読み返してみないと状況が分かりにくいことがあります。一コマ一コマが漫画と言うよりも絵のような印象です。先に短編集を読まれてから、購入を検討された方がいいと思います。

I'm a fan of Mr. Ichikawa! However, it is a unique illustration, and it may be difficult to understand the situation until you reread it several times. The impression is that each frame is more like a picture than a comic. I think it's better to read the short story first and then consider purchasing.

綺麗です

It's beautiful

テレビのCMで見てアニメかと思っていたのですが漫画だったんですね。絵柄も美しく話も面白いです。まだまだ世界についてわかっていることが少ないので、今後世界について分かっていくくことによりどんどん面白くなるのかな？と思っています。

I saw a commercial on TV and thought it was an anime, but it was a comic. The design is beautiful and the story is interesting. There are still few things we know about the world, so I wonder if it will become more and more interesting as we learn about the world in the future? I think so.

すてき！

wonderful!

もともとＣＭを見て、アニメかと思っていたのですがコミックと知り購入。とても綺麗で素敵な絵と物語…うっとりしました。一巻をこちらで買って読みましたが、書籍も欲しくなり購入。どちらでも揃えたくなる程面白いお話でした！

I originally watched commercials and thought it was an anime, but I knew it was a comic and bought it. Very beautiful and wonderful pictures and story... I was fascinated. I bought one volume here and read it, but I also wanted a book, so I bought it. It was such an interesting story that I wanted to have both!

美しき物語

A beautiful story

市川春子の初の長編連載です。相変わらずの市川春子節炸裂のSFです。宝石で出来た肉体をもつ主人公たちが、己の身体を狙う月人たちの攻撃を迎え撃つのだが、肝心の主人公・フォスは身体がめちゃくちゃ脆くて闘いには向いていない上、他の仕事でそれを補うこともできないという、生まついての落ちこぼれ。そんな主人公が出会ったのは、闘いの才能も知性もあるのにその体質のせいで仲間たちに疎まれ、遠ざけられているシンシャ。フォスはシンシャの孤独を知り、シンシャにしかできないことを見つけてみせると約束する…。フォスが諦め切ったシンシャに約束を叫ぶシーン、とても素敵です。自分の仕事すら覚束ないフォスが、どのようにシンシャを救おうとするのか、先が楽しみなシリーズです。

This is Haruko Ichikawa's first full-length series. It's still sci-fi about Haruko Ichikawa's explosion. The main characters, who have bodies made of jewels, intercept attacks by the Moonriders aiming for their own bodies, but the essential protagonist, Foss, has an insanely fragile body and is not suited to fighting, and he is unable to make up for it with other jobs, and he is left behind by life. The protagonist met Shinsha, who has fighting talent and intelligence, but is alienated and kept away by her friends because of her constitution. Foss finds out about Shinsha's loneliness and promises to find out what only Shinsha can do... The scene where Foss shouts his promise to Shinsha, who has given up, is so wonderful. It's a series I'm looking forward to seeing how Foss, who isn't even prepared for his own work, tries to save Shinsha.

✨市川春子ワールド✨

✨ ICHIKAWA HARUKO WORLD ✨

市川春子ワールド炸裂のSFな作品です。28人の「宝石」達が月からやってくる月人と戦うお話で、実際の宝石のスペックを元に擬人化されていて宝石達独特の掛け合いが面白いです。宝石の図鑑片手に読むのも楽しそうです。初の長編連載作品なのでこれからに期待大です。

It's a sci-fi work of Haruko Ichikawa's World Explosion. It's a story where 28 “jewels” fight against the moonman who comes from the moon, and it is anthropomorphic based on the specs of actual jewels, and the unique interactions between the jewels are interesting. It seems fun to read an encyclopedia of jewels with one hand. This is my first long serialized work, so I have high expectations for the future.

繊細な世界観

A delicate view of the world

不思議で繊細な世界観。砕けても再構成される不思議な生命。硬く脆く、美しく煌めく宝石たち。謎めいた宝石たちに心奪われました。

A mysterious and delicate view of the world. A mysterious life that can be reconstructed even when shattered. These gemstones are hard, brittle, and sparkle beautifully. I was fascinated by the enigmatic jewels.

宝石の世界

The world of jewels

アニメで知った作品でした。元々宝石や鉱物に興味があったので触れてみた作品でしたが宝石にも少し詳しくなれる作品かなと。アニメになったあたりまでしか内容を知らないので機会があれば続きを読んでみたいです。

It was a work I learned about from anime. I was originally interested in gemstones and minerals, so it was a work I came into contact with, but I think it's a work where you can get a little closer to jewels. I only know the content until it became an anime, so I'd like to continue reading if I get a chance.

すごく・ふしぎ＝ＳＦ

Super Mysterious = SF

This review contains spoilers. とても不思議は雰囲気の作品で、ファンタジーよりはＳＦだと思いました。色々な謎が解けたり深まったり変化したり増えたり。登場人外（序盤では人物いませんよね？）は人に似た姿で、ぱっと見女性ぽいのでボクっ娘かと思ったら「彼」と呼ばれているし、男性というより無性なのかなと思いました。鉱物だし。ラフというか大雑把な顔の描き方も、人間ではない疑似生物を表現するのにはこれでいいのだと思えます。体を砕かれても欠片を集めてひっつければ復活するとか実に面白いです。ひときわ謎なのは集団のリーダーで一人だけ男性型に見える金剛先生です。ほかの子たちより色々昔のことを知っていそうな謎キャラです。知ってること吐けえぇ！主人公フォスは硬度不足の上に不器用で碌な働きができないのが悩みでしたが、ほかの鉱物を取り入れて進化？変化？？？？することで戦闘ができるようになったり記憶を無くしたり変化しまくるのがミステリアスでとても面白かったです。ウミウシこと海の女王（？）とかほかにも不思議生物がいて、どこまで楽しませてくれるんだ！こういう不思議なお話大好きです。

This review contains spoilers. It's a work with a very strange atmosphere, and I thought it was sci-fi rather than fantasy. Various mysteries have been solved, deepened, changed, and increased. Other than the characters (there aren't any characters in the beginning, right?) She looks similar to a human, and at first glance, she looks like a woman, so when I thought she was my daughter, she was called “he,” and I thought she was asexual rather than male. It's a mineral, too. I think this is fine for expressing pseudo-creatures that are not humans, even for drawing rough, or rather rough faces. It's really interesting that even if the body is shattered, it can be revived if you collect shards and hit them. What is particularly mysterious is Mr. Kongo, who is the leader of the group and only one person looks like a male type. It's a mysterious character who seems to know a lot more about the past than the other kids. spit out what you know! The main character, Foss, was worried about being clumsy and unable to work smoothly due to lack of hardness, but evolved by incorporating other minerals? changes???? It was mysterious and very interesting to be able to do battles and lose memory by doing so. The queen of the sea called nudibranchs (?) There are also other mysterious creatures, and they keep me entertained! I love this kind of strange story.

絵の好み?

painting preferences?

話めちゃ面白いけど絵で選ぶ人は、結構好み分かれるけど、そんな人にほんとに読んで欲しい！話し合いから！キャラも女の子系好きな子ならきっと好みの子見つかるし!有名だから読んでおいて損なしだと思います。

It's really interesting to talk to, but people who choose by picture have quite a few different tastes, but I really want people like that to read it! From discussions! If the characters also like girls, you're sure to find one you like! It's famous, so I think there's no harm in reading it.
