別作品からの作家さん買いです。

I'm buying an artist from another work.

平たく言ってしまえば一途に想いを寄せてくれるイケメンに翻弄される主人公という少女漫画にもなりやすい構図です。相手が同性というだけでこうも複雑になってしまうのか…と思いますが、同性であることは正直この作品においてはそれほど軽蔑もされず、かと言ってオープンに曝け出すわけでもない。理解されにくいけど、そういう人っているよねという、なんなら今時な作品なのかもしれません。なんと言っても子供の頃の背景や表情、仕草などで意味深なカットがあったりするところを2回目3回目と読み進めるととても味わい深い作品だと思います。渉や佐伯くんの周りの人たちも古矢さん作品特有の適度な距離感を保っているモブになり過ぎない人たち。ただし言いたいところや読者が悶々としてる時に一矢報いるような言葉回しも上手いです。何度言ったれ！と思ったことか…青春の甘酸っぱい思い出を「くっ…！！！」と噛み締めながら布団の中で読み進められたのはいい思い出です。渉はとにかくいいやつだし、最終的に絆されたと言っては聞こえは悪いかもしれませんが、あそこまで佐伯くんによく絆されなかったなあと忍耐強さを感じます。友達にも恵まれているようなので男らしさや、優しさ、人から好かれる性格が魅力的で佐伯くんに負けず劣らずめちゃめちゃ好きです。佐伯くんは過去の確執や、渉への執着に最初は疑問も感じましたが読み返して「そりゃ、渉じゃなきゃダメだよなあ…」と額に手を当て、はよくっつけと心の底から思いました。良くも悪くも大人で、わがままになりきれないのに渉にはどこか気を許している感じが、ねぇ…たまらんのですよ。2人の関係性を緩やかな空気感で少しずつ少しずつ心境や現状の変化に合わせて変わっていきます。時間の流れはゆっくりめ、堀田きいちさんの『君と僕』を彷彿とさせる瞬間があるように感じました。BL作品に何を求めているかは人それぞれだと思いますが、心情描写の上手い人の作品は私のこれからの人格形成の一部になってくれるような気がして、良本に当たった時の感動が大きいです。何度読み返したかももう覚えていないですが、他の作家さんにないいいところがたくさんあります。長編を読みたい気持ちもありますが、作者さんの筆が乗るまま、新しい作品を気長に待ちたいと思います。星、レビューはあってます。なんならもっと評価されていい作品。みんなに届け、君は夏のなか。

To put it bluntly, the composition is easy to become a girls' comic called the main character who is at the mercy of a handsome guy who has all his feelings for you. I wonder if it would be so complicated just because the partner is of the same sex... but to be honest, being of the same sex isn't that scorned in this work, and that doesn't mean it's openly exposed. It's hard to understand, but there are people like that, so maybe it's a contemporary work. After all, I think it's a very tasteful work if you read on for the second and third time that there are meaningful cuts in the background, facial expressions, gestures, etc. from when you were a kid. The people around Wataru and Saeki-kun are also people who don't become too mobs who maintain a reasonable sense of distance peculiar to Furuya's works. However, they are also good at putting words that pay off when they want to say something or when the reader is in agony. Say it as many times as you like! Did you think... sweet and sour memories of youth were “wow...!!!” It's a good memory to be able to read on my futon while chewing on it. Wataru is a nice guy anyway, and it may sound bad to say that they were finally bonded, but I feel patient after not being able to bond so well with Saeki-kun. He seems to be blessed with friends, so his masculinity, kindness, and personality that people like him are attractive, and I really like him no less than Saeki-kun. Saeki-kun initially felt doubts about past feuds and his obsession with Wataru, but after rereading it, he put his hand on his forehead saying, “Well, it has to be Wataru...”, and I thought from the bottom of my heart that it stuck well. For better or worse, I'm an adult, and the feeling that Wataru is kind of forgiving even though he can't be selfish is... unbearable. The relationship between the two changes little by little with a gentle atmosphere in line with changes in their state of mind and current situation. The flow of time slowed down, and I felt like there was a moment reminiscent of “You and Me” by Kiichi Horita. I think everyone is different about what they are looking for in BL works, but I feel that works by people who are good at depicting feelings will be part of my future personality development, and I am very moved when I hit a good book. I don't even remember how many times I reread it, but there are a lot of good things that other writers don't have. There is also a feeling that I want to read a long story, but I would like to wait patiently for new works with the author's brush on. There are stars and reviews. If anything, it would be nice if it were a work that received more praise. I'll deliver it to everyone, you're in the summer.

何だかんだ、こういう男子が最&高

Somehow, this kind of boy is the best & tallest

This review contains spoilers. 他のBL作品に比べるとえっちぃシーンはかなり少なめですが、だからこそじんわり来るものが。そういうシーンが少ない漫画をもっと読みたくなったきっかけである作品。このふたりは、こういう感じでずっといってほしいです。とはいえ受けくん、照れ屋にもほどがあるだろ。とも言いたい(笑) そこが彼の魅力であり可愛かったりもするのですが。そして攻めくんは、私のツボでもあります。顔よし、性格よし。ほどよい強引さもあり、理性もあり。スパダリです。夏だけでなく、他の季節の二人もずっと見ていたい、いや見させてくださいますお願いします!!

This review contains spoilers. Compared to other BL films, there are quite few ecchi scenes, but that's why things come slowly. This work made me want to read more comics with few such scenes. I want these two to stay like this the whole time. That said, there are times when shy people take it. I also want to say that (laughs) that's his appeal, and he's cute too. And attack-kun is also a pressure point for me. Good face and good personality. They are moderately aggressive, and they are also rational. This is Spadari. Not only summer, but two people from other seasons want to watch it all the time, no, please let me watch it!!

同級生

classmates

最初の出会いは、高校生で、映画と言う共通の趣味で話すようになった2人。しかし幼い頃に2人は出会っていたようで、戸田に救ってもらった事から、高校で再会し好きになります。特に大きな出来事はないのですが、それこそ日常が描かれていて、エモく、素敵な作品てます。

They first met when they were high school students and began talking about a common hobby called movies. However, it seems that the two met when they were young, and since they were saved by Toda, they met again in high school and fell in love. There aren't any major events in particular, but they depict everyday life, and it's an emo and wonderful work.

読みやすい。

easy to read.

二人の夏のものがたり。高校生だけど精神年齢が高そう。ふつうは同性の友達にあんなさらっと告白できないし、告白された側も今まで通りでいられるわけないと思うけれど。そんな彼だからこそ好きになったんだろうな。ベタベタした恋愛ものじゃない、友達の延長みたいなところが結構リアルなんじゃないかな。ちょっとこそばゆい感情がきゅんとした。

A summer story for two. They're high school students, but they seem to have a high mental age. Normally, I can't just confess to friends of the same sex like that, and I don't think the person who confessed can stay the same as before. I guess that's why I fell in love with him. I think the fact that it's not a sticky romance, it's like an extension of friends is pretty real. I had a slight sense of excitement.

純粋しすぎる

too pure

Th純愛！渉の天然たらしには、千晴も悩まされて大変だ、、、。濡れ場が少ないのだが、ちょい残念。作品全体から、ふたりのドキドキが、こちらに伝わってくるような、胸キュン作品です。いよいよ、千晴と渉が結ばれて、めちゃくちゃ嬉しかったー。これからの2人をまたみたいです。

Th pure love! Chiharu is also bothered by Wataru's natural character, and it's hard... There aren't many places to get wet, but that's a bit disappointing. It's a heart-pounding work where the excitement of the two is conveyed here from the whole work. I was so happy that Chiharu and Wataru finally tied the knot. I want to see the next 2 people again.

ゆっくり進む2人の関係

A relationship between two people progressing slowly

This review contains spoilers. イケメンの佐伯千晴と、同じ趣味で親しい渉。ひょんなことから佐伯の気持ちを伝えられて、それでも変わらない態度で接する渉だけど、突然千晴がいなくなり、2人の関係が発展します。その後は、ゆっくりと、本当にゆっくりと愛を育んでいきます。「君と〜」2巻末でようやく最後まで致すという展開。でも、それまでも千晴の真っ直ぐな愛情表現と、渉の普段ツンからのいざという時のデレが本当にいい具合に組み合わさって、「この2人をずっと見たいなぁ」という気持ちにさせられます。変な当て馬も出てこず、周りの人たちも良い人ばかりなのも気持ちがいい。小冊子を含め巻がたくさんありますが、「君は〜」→「茜の頃」→「君は〜小冊子」→「君と〜１」→「君と〜小冊子」→「君と〜2」の順かな？

This review contains spoilers. Wataru is close with the handsome Saeki Chiharu and has the same hobbies. Saeki's feelings were conveyed by accident, and even so, they treated him with an unchanging attitude, but suddenly Chiharu disappeared, and the relationship between the two developed. After that, love slowly, really slowly develops. It unfolds at the end of volume 2 of “Kimi to...” where they finally make it to the end. But until then, Chiharu's straight expression of affection and Wataru's usual emergency situation were combined in a really good way, and it made me feel like “I want to watch these two for a long time.” There are no strange guts, and it feels good that the people around me are all nice people. There are many volumes, including booklets, but is the order of “Kimi wa ~” → “Akane no Sho” → “Kimi wa ~ Booklet” → “Kimi to ~1” → “Kimi to ~ Booklet” → “Kimi to ~2”?

浄化されました

purified

登場人物に嫌な奴が一人も出てきません。とにかくメインの二人がピュアピュアで読んでいると心が洗われていくようです。どっぷりとしたエロ要素はほとんどないのですが、絵もストーリーも素晴らしくて、物足りなさは微塵もありません。一度だけ、本当に苦しくて辛い場面がありましたが、それでも二人で乗り越えてくれたので良かったです。これからも二人でゆっくりと進んでいって欲しいです。読んでいて、こちらまで赤面してしまうくらい可愛い二人が愛おしくて仕方がありません。これからも続編をお願い致します。

There isn't a single character I don't like. Anyway, it seems like my mind is washed away when the two main characters read Pure Pure. There are almost no erotic elements that are completely immersive, but the pictures and story are wonderful, and there is no hint of unsatisfaction. There was only one really painful and painful scene, but even so, I'm glad the two of them were able to overcome it. I hope the two of them will continue to move forward slowly. I can't help but love these two people who are so cute that they blush as I read them. Please continue with the sequels.

なんか・・・うん

Something... yeah

なんかゆるいんだけど、いい感じ。途中、ちょっと物たりないような気もしましたが現実感のあるBLでエロなしでも十分でした。なんか・・・うん。いい感じです。

It's kind of loose, but it feels good. Along the way, I felt like I wasn't bothered, but it was a realistic BL and it was enough without eroticism. Something... yeah. It's a nice feeling.

毎年夏が恋しくなりそう…

I feel like I miss summer every year...

BLといえばやはりエロが大事！どんなすれ違いやモダモダがあっても最後はくっついてえっちして、できればおまけや続編ではベッドシーンにページを割いてイチャイチャを見せてもらいたいと思うのが読者の本音でしょう。ストーリーに重きはおきますが、私がBLで見たいものはまさにそれです。けれどもこの二人は違うのです！！そんなもの必要ないというか、何気ない会話や表情だけでこちらが満たされる。渉と千晴という人間が放つ温かで穏やかな空気の流れを作者様はしっかり描き出してるように思います。まるで爽やかで淡いブルーのサイダーのような夏の二人。ずっと隣にいられるようにと願います。

Speaking of BL, eroticism is still important! The reader's real intention is that no matter what kind of misunderstandings or mods there are, they stick together at the end, and if possible, split a page into a bed scene in a bonus or sequel to show their flirtation. The emphasis is on the story, but that's exactly what I want to see in BL. But these two are different!! I mean, I don't need anything like that; I'm satisfied with just casual conversation and facial expressions. I think the author clearly depicts the warm and gentle flow of air emitted by people named Wataru and Chiharu. They are two summer people who look like a refreshing, pale blue cider. I hope we can stay next to you all the time.

純愛映画のような

Like a pure love movie

普段軽率にすぐおせっせするようなBL漫画を読んでいるせいで、えっ嘘でしょ男子高校生→男子大学生なのに性欲ないの？？？仏なの？？？って思っちゃいましたが、全然有りです。爽やか〜〜〜！！！！！夏の空気感最高〜〜〜！！！！お互いがお互いを大好きなことが分かる、少女漫画みたいなキュンキュン漫画です。心が浄化されます。ありがとう。

It's because I usually read BL comics that are careless and quick, so it's a lie, isn't it true that male high school students → male college students don't have sexual desire??? is it Buddha??? That's what I thought, but it's totally true. refreshing~~~!!! The summer atmosphere is the best!!!! It's a kyunkyun comic, like a girls' comic, where you can see that they both love each other. The mind is purified. thank you.

よかった

That was great

作者様買いです。別作品を読んで、作者様の絵と繊細な雰囲気にハマり、こちらのシリーズは小冊子含め6冊まとめ買いしてしまいました。いわゆるBL作品を求めて読むと物足りなさを感じるかもしれませんが、清涼感のある素敵な作品だと思います。

The author is buying it. After reading another work, I was addicted to the author's paintings and delicate atmosphere, and bought 6 books in bulk, including booklets, in this series. If you read it in search of so-called BL works, you may feel that it is unsatisfactory, but I think it is a wonderful work with a refreshing feeling.

心が浄化される…

The mind is purified...

君は夏のなかの番外編。大好きな作品の小冊子が電子で読めて感無量。久しぶりに読んでまた感動してしまいました。短いけれどいろんな思いが詰まっていて本当に素敵な作品。何度も読み返してしまう…。君は夏のなかの小冊子は、佐伯視点から高校で渉と出会った場面が描かれていて胸が熱くなります。

You Are a Summer Extra Edition. Reading booklets of my favorite works electronically is amazing. It's been a long time since I read it, and I'm moved again. Although it is short, it is a really wonderful work filled with so many thoughts. I reread it over and over again... The booklet You Are in the Summer depicts a scene where she met Wataru in high school from Saeki's point of view, which makes my heart warm.

読後感最高

The feeling after reading is the best

お互いに思い合って、大切にしていることがひしひしと伝わってきて心に沁みました。多く説明されなくても場面場面で感情や性格が伝わってきて読みやすかったです。切ない所もありましたが、ゆっくり進展していく2人を見守っているような気持ちになりました。もっと2人を見ていたい、続き出て欲しいな〜

The things we care for and value for each other came through a lot, and it sank into my heart. It was easy to read because emotions and personalities were conveyed from scene to scene without much explanation. There were also sad places, but I felt like I was watching the two people slowly progressing. I want to watch 2 more people, I want them to come out more~

ひとつひとつの場面に深い意味がありました

Each scene had a deep meaning

不覚にも涙を流してました。期待以上でした。読後もしばらく、グッと噛み締めて世界に浸ってました。とにかくひとつの場面もセリフも後々深い意味があったと気付かされたとき、その度に心が震えるような感覚にされました。押し付けの説明がない分「そうだったのか」と理解できた時は強い感動でした。抽象的な内容ですみません。未だ感動が込み上がってしまい、冷静にレビュー出来ませんでした。戸田くんと佐伯くん最高に魅力的です。

Unbeknownst to me, I was shedding tears. It was more than I expected. Even after reading it, I clenched and immersed myself in the world for a while. Anyway, when I was made to realize that each scene and line had a deep meaning, I felt like my heart trembled every time. I was deeply moved when I was able to understand “was that so” because there was no explanation for the imposition. Sorry for the abstract content. I was still so moved that I wasn't able to calmly review it. Toda-kun and Saeki-kun are extremely charming.
