Compelling!

This review contains spoilers. The story feels a bit meta with a comics artist making dramatic work for a website. I'm not sure where it's going but I'm enjoying it! The main character really shines!

心が共鳴した

My heart resonated

This review contains spoilers. 子どもの頃のチアキ君とか、忍さんの結婚生活とか、の体験…経験に大いに似てるとこがありすぎて、なかなか胸が苦しい思いで読んだ。36話辺りで、忍さんがみひろちゃんに言ってた「みんながやりたがる仕事でも自分がやりたくない仕事ならやらない方がいい」とかあの辺のセリフもグッときたし、チアキ君と忍さんがコンビニで買ったXmasケーキ食べながら楽しいって言ってるシーンを観て、そういえば、私はXmasが楽しかった記憶なんてないなぁとか思い出して、なんか涙がボロボロ出てきた。チアキ君やみひろちゃんは、忍さんに少しずつ救われてると思うんだけど、忍さんはまだ救われてない気がして、早く救われてほしいなと思いながら37話以降の続きを読む。

This review contains spoilers. The experiences of Chiaki and Shinobu's marriage when I was a kid... there were so many things that were very similar to my experiences, and I read it with a feeling that it was quite heartbreaking. Around episode 36, I watched scenes where Shinobu said to Mihiro-chan, “If it's a job that everyone wants to do, it's better not to do it,” and I watched scenes where Chiaki and Shinobu said it was fun while eating Xmas cake bought at a convenience store, and speaking of that, I remembered that Xmas was fun, and somehow tears came out in tears. I think Chiaki and Mihiro are being saved little by little by Shinobu, but I feel like Shinobi hasn't been saved yet, so I want them to be saved soon, and I read on from episode 37 onwards.

おもしろーい

It's interesting

最初はありきたりな、ちょっと歳の差フリン物語かと思ったら、登場人物の過去背景がすごく面白い。未来から振り返ってるから、余計にだからこうなるのかーって思う。個人的には、せいらちゃんを応援したい。

At first, when I thought it was an ordinary Flynn story with a slight age difference, the past backgrounds of the characters are really interesting. I'm looking back from the future, so I wonder if this is going to happen unnecessarily. Personally, I want to support Seira.

身につまされる

I'm stuck in my body

電子漫画でドロドロした不倫ものがウケるとか、浮気されて離婚せずずるずるきちゃったとか、年上の夫の老けぶりとか、ああーって感じ。

I feel like the muddy affair in electronic comics is popular, or I was cheated on and got sly sly without getting divorced, or my older husband's old age, etc.

読み進めていくなかで、他作品と何か違う感覚があったのですが、、、一番しっくりくる感じ、んー、小説を読んでいるような感じ。これが一番近い感覚かなぁ。絵があるのに自身の映像も足されて、世界観までいうと大袈裟ですが、広がって。はっきり言えるのは、のめり込んでいます?これからも楽しみです。

As I read on, I had a feeling that it was something different from other works, but... it felt like I was reading a novel. I think this is the closest feeling. Even though there are pictures, images of myself have been added, and even speaking of my view of the world, it's an exaggeration, but it's expanding. What can I say clearly is, are you immersed in it? I'm looking forward to it from now on.

変わらない旦那さん

Husband who hasn't changed

忍さんと千秋くんはお互いが必要で収まるべきところに収まって見ているこちらも穏やかな気持ちになりますが、ここに来て旦那さん…千秋さんと離れている間にあんなことになっていたとは…挙げ句の果てに大学生の息子に…。千秋さんが怒るのも無理はありません。千秋くんはまわりの人に傷つけられ、誰よりも優しい人に育ち、旦那さんは思いやりが足りず、自分のことしか考えてない、冷たい大人ですよね。そんな人と結婚していた忍さん。人生で関わる人間で悩まされるということが身に染みる話です。

Shinobu and Chiaki fit in where they need each other and fit in, and it also makes me feel at peace, but when I came here, my husband... was like that while I was away from Chiaki... after all, to my son who is a college student... No wonder Chiaki gets angry. Chiaku-kun is a cold adult who was hurt by people around him, grew up to be kinder than anyone else, his husband lacks compassion, and only thinks about himself. Shinobi was married to someone like that. It's a story that is ingrained in my body about being bothered by people involved in my life.

いやいやいや、面白くてビックリ！

No, no, no, I was surprised at how interesting it was!

表紙見た感じ、おばさんと美少年の恋愛か、、なんか現実味がないな〜。なんて思っていたら、案外内容が深くて引き込まれた！どんどん読み進めてしまい気付いたら夢中でした（笑）こりゃ面白いわ！とりあえず、旦那クソ！早く報われて欲しいなぁ〜?

It feels like looking at the cover, the love between an old lady and a beautiful boy... there's nothing realistic about it. When I was thinking about it, the content was surprisingly deep and I was drawn in! I read on and on, and when I noticed it, I was obsessed (laughs) This is so interesting! Anyway, my husband is crap! I want them to be rewarded soon~?

色々つき刺さります

It sticks in a lot of ways

This review contains spoilers. 結婚して子どもがいて、夫に不貞の過去もあり、10年以上過ぎて…主人公の迷いや怒り、気持ちの揺れがよくわかります。子どもがいなければ、もはや会話が無い。家庭内別居。熟年になって「何故もっと若い頃に離婚しなかったのだろう」と思う主人公に共感しました。その時はその選択が彼女にとって最良だったとしても。そう考えずにはいられない、ずっとずっと引きずってきた感情が、読んでいてつき刺さります。子どもが成長し、経済的に自立して歩き出した主人公に、勇気をもらいました。年下の彼とは色々あるだろうけど、人生1度きりだし、今より若い瞬間は無いのだし、思うように生きていって良いのでは…と応援しながら読んでいます。

This review contains spoilers. They are married, have children, and have a past of infidelity with their husband, and over 10 years have passed... I can clearly understand the protagonist's hesitation, anger, and emotional turbulence. If we don't have children, we don't have conversations anymore. Domestic separation. I sympathized with the main character who became mature and thought, “Why didn't they get divorced when they were younger?” Even if that choice was the best for her at the time. I can't help but think about it, and the feeling that has dragged on me all this time stuck with me as I read it. I was encouraged by the protagonist, whose children grew up, became financially independent, and began to walk. There are probably a lot of things with my younger boyfriend, but I'm reading it while cheering, saying that I only live once, there isn't a moment younger than now, and I think it's okay to live the way I want...

This is the comic I'm most addicted to right now!

なんかリアルです。40才を超えた女の体つきとか。女として母親として妻として。いろんなところに刺さってきました。続きが待ち遠しくてたまらない?

好きな作品です。

It's my favorite work.

This review contains spoilers. 絵はあっさりしてますが、キャラ設定がリアルで入り込みやすかったです。例えば、基本的に妻を見下してる反面嫉妬深い構ってちゃんな夫と、息子の為に夫の浮気やモラハラに耐える収入が不安定な妻がリアルでした。主人公には千秋と幸せになってほしいけれど、収入的な面でも安定する岡野さんを選ぶのかなぁ…

This review contains spoilers. The pictures are simple, but the character settings were realistic and easy to get into. For example, a husband who basically looked down on his wife but was jealous, and a wife whose income was unstable to endure her husband's infidelity and moral harassment for her son were real. I want the main character to be happy with Chiaki, but I wonder if he will choose Okano-san, who is stable in terms of income...

this feeling of addiction. It's irresistible.

程よりドロドロ感といいますか、中毒性が高いです。そして、瞳の描き方？流し目がとてもエロいです。美しいです。書籍化はしてるんでしょうか、買います。

It's more or less muddy, and it's highly addictive. And how to draw eyes? The flowing eyes are so erotic. It's beautiful. I wonder if it has been made into a book, so I'll buy it.

Very very stinging

単行本で（どハマり）読んでいましたが、続きが待ちきれず単話版を購入。結婚生活が10年を超えた人なら少なからず共感できると思いますよ。。

I was (addicted to) reading it as a standalone book, but I couldn't wait for the continuation, so I bought the single episode version. I think people who have been married for over 10 years can sympathize with you.

リアルですね

It's real

分冊買うか、迷ってるところです。リアル感ありすぎて、早く一気読みしたいです。20・30代は結婚ラッシュで、40代で離婚がポツポツ、、、考えさせられました。子供の手が離れると、色んなことを考えるようになる時間も出来るからなのかもしれませんね。

I'm at a loss as to whether to buy separate books. It's so realistic that I want to read it all at once quickly. There was a rush of marriage in the 20s and 30s, and divorce in the 40s made me think... Maybe it's because when children take their hands off, they also have time to start thinking about various things.

マンガなのに妙にリアル

Even though it's a manga, it's strangely real

主人公を若く描こうと思えば描けるはずなのに妥協してないなと思います。なので、年下美少年との恋は、自分が自滅しそうでキツイのでは？とも思います。ところで、このマンガ、ドラマ化しているようで（主人公は山口紗弥加さん）、こんな美魔女なら年の差も悩む必要ないなぁ...と思ってしまった。

If I wanted to draw the main character at a young age, I should be able to draw it, but I don't think there was any compromise. So, isn't love with a younger beautiful boy tough because it seems like you're going to self-destruct? I also think so. By the way, this manga seems to have been made into a drama (the main character is Yamaguchi Sayaka), and I thought that if she were such a beautiful witch, there would be no need to worry about the age difference...

ちょっと長いけど

It's a bit long but

This review contains spoilers. 最初は周りにある漫画と同じかなーと思ってたけど違った。不倫に走る話ではなかった。ちゃんと旦那と別れてから千秋くんと。でも千秋くんは主人公に対して理想の母親としての好意なのかな？？主人公は好きだと思うけど。そこらへんどうするのかが気になります。

This review contains spoilers. At first, I thought it was the same as the comics around me, but it was different. It wasn't about an affair. After I broke up with my husband properly, Chiaku-kun. But I wonder if Chiaku-kun favors the main character as an ideal mother?? I think I like the main character though. I'm curious about what they're going to do all over the place.
