数日前に

A few days ago

数日前に一気読みしましたが、立場の違うふたりを応援しながら楽しく読めました。これからの話が気になります。

I read it all at once a few days ago, and I enjoyed reading it while supporting the two people in different positions. I'm curious about future stories.

『高嶺の蘭さん』の番外編収録してるよ！

I'm recording an extra edition of “Takane no Ran-san”!

「１巻の表紙可愛い〜」と思って読みました。いや、でもデザインとタイトルロゴなぁ…。「はいはい、ベランダ越し系幼馴染で彼は超売れっ子モデル、主人公は色気のない保護者系ね。こういうの今日３作目、飽きたな……にしては上手いな！？」…と離脱することなく１巻を読み終えました。巻末に『高嶺の蘭さん』の大学生編があって「高嶺の蘭さんの作者！？それなら読む！」と２巻へ。番外編良かった…癒し…。あれは別で１００円払いたかった…。収録されてたら高蘭ファン気付かない…。安心して読める、ちょっと甘めの少女漫画です。

I read it thinking “the cover of volume 1 is cute!” No, but it's the design and title logo... “Yes yes, my childhood friend from the veranda is a super popular model, and the main character is a carer with no sex appeal. This is my 3rd film today, so it's good even though I'm tired of it...!?” I finished reading volume 1 without leaving... There is a college student edition of “Takane no Ran” at the end of the book, and “Takane no Ran!? Then read it!” and to volume 2. the extra edition was good... healing... I wanted to pay 100 yen separately for that... Takaran fans wouldn't notice it when it was recorded... It's a slightly sweet girls' comic that you can read with peace of mind.

I really admired the situation where my childhood friend falls in love, so it was a comic that made me really excited. I haven't watched it yet, but the movie version has also been released, so I'd like to go see it.

もだあま…

Momoama...

映画にもなったくらい有名作なので、今更自分が語れることもないと思いますが…やはり絵が丁寧で綺麗ですよね！雑なコマが皆無！そしてストーリーは…まぁ甘い！悶える！切ない！新刊が出る度に即購入してます！

It's such a famous film that it was even made into a movie, so I don't think I'll be able to talk about it anymore... after all, the pictures are so careful and beautiful! There are no cluttered frames at all! And the story is... well sweet! I'm in agony! that's sad! Every time a new issue comes out, I buy it right away!

映画観たいような？観たくないような？笑

like you want to watch a movie? like you don't want to watch it? lol

This review contains spoilers. とっても楽しい可愛いお話しですね。自分の幼なじみにイケメンの男の子が居てスターになっちゃう？ひょっとして現実にもあるお話しなのかもなぁ？とか妄想しながら読みました。笑スバルがちぃにデレ過ぎてて可愛い。え？スバル！そんなにちぃにメロメロなん？笑実際には、そこは華やかな世界に生きる人達はもっと割り切って今の自分の世界に必死になるような気もするけど。映画を観たいような？観たくないようなと言うのはもう漫画の中でのスバルとちぃがくっきりとイメージされちゃってるから。それがちょっと壊されたくない気持ちになります。若い恋人達にありがちなすれ違いトラブルの連続。好きだと一々喧嘩になるもんだよね？だけど、喧嘩の後の仲直りが良いんだよね？早く新刊出て欲しいな。

This review contains spoilers. It's a very fun and cute story. My childhood friend had a handsome boy and he became a star? Maybe it's a real story? I read it while being delusional. lol Subaru is so cute because it's too cute. huh? Subaru! is that so melancholy? lol Actually, I also feel like people living in this glamorous world are more divided and desperate for their current world. Like you want to watch a movie? The reason I say I don't want to watch it is because I already have a clear image of Subaru and Chi in comics. That makes me feel a little unwilling to be destroyed. A series of misunderstandings that young lovers tend to have. If you like it, you get into a fight all the time, right? But it's good to make up after a fight, right? I hope the new publication comes out soon.

8巻まで一気読みしました

I read up to 8 volumes at once

This review contains spoilers. 1巻目から涙、涙。感想は散文で失礼します。小さい頃からお互いの一番近くにいたい、いることがしあわせだと思える関係が尊い。スバルくんの泣き顔、美しくてじっと見つめてしまいます。笑顔は最高。スバルを輝く笑顔にできるのも涙顔にするのも千明だけ！昴の前では素直じゃなかった千明も、恋人同士になってからの千明大好きをストレートに表現する昴の影響からか、次第に素直になっていくところがかわいい。モデル界や芸能界はもちろんきれいな人が多いところだけど、そんなところでも、学校でも取り巻きに囲まれていても昴が見ているのはちぃだけという一途さが昴のステキなところ。仕事でのキスはあくまで仕事なのね。うつくしいけれども。プライベートのキスシーンはキュンキュンします！！！千明と昴には絶対に離れずしあわせなままお互いの隣で人生を送ってほしいです。お互いを思いやりながらもやり取りが面白いステキなカップル！大好きです！ナイーブすばのインナーピースのためにもずっとラブラブでいてね！ちぃちゃんが中学のとき、もっと素直だったら、早く付き合い出して、スバルは芸能人になることもなかったんだなぁ。京都でスバルが学生の制服デートをじっと見ていたね。そんなカップルなら普通にできることが、有名人には難しいんですね。いつか2人で街歩きできたらいいけどね。昴は芸能界で大勢の美女に関わったり、千明も明るく元気で良い子でモテるだろうけど、お互いが一番星というところはブレてないから、お互いを信じて自分だけが愛されている自信を持って！ちなみに、イケおじ好きのはーちゃん(大好き！)のセリフは私の脳内ではゼーリエの声で再生されています。8巻が出たばかりのようですが、9巻目が待ちきれません。控えめに言って、最高の作品！

This review contains spoilers. Tears, tears from volume 1. Excuse me for commenting in prose. I want to be closest to each other since I was little, and relationships where they think they are happy to be there are precious. Subaru-kun's crying face is so beautiful that I stare at it. Smiles are the best. Chiaki is the only person who can make a Subaru have a shining smile and a tearful face! It's cute that Chiaki, who wasn't honest in front of Subaru, gradually became honest, probably because of Subaru's direct influence to express his love for Chiaki since they became lovers. Of course, the model world and the entertainment industry are places where there are a lot of beautiful people, but even in such places, Subaru is wonderful that Chii is the only one watching, whether at school or when surrounded by his cronies. Kissing at work is just work, isn't it? It's beautiful, though. The private kiss scene makes me cringe!!! I want Chiaki and Subaru to never leave and live their lives next to each other while being happy. A wonderful couple who care for each other but have fun interacting with each other! I love it! Stay in love the whole time for the sake of Naive Subuno's inner peace! When Chii-chan was in middle school, if she had been more honest, they would have started a relationship sooner, and Subaru wouldn't have become an entertainer. I was watching Subaru's student uniform date in Kyoto closely. What couples like that can do normally is difficult for celebrities, isn't it? It would be nice if the two of us could walk around town someday. Subaru has been involved with many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and Chiaki is probably popular as a cheerful, energetic, and nice kid, but they can't shake the fact that they are the best stars, so believe in each other and have confidence that only you are loved! By the way, Ha-chan likes good-looking old guys (I love it!) The lines are played in my brain with Zelie's voice. Looks like volume 8 just came out, but I can't wait for volume 9. Best work, to say the least!

I think it's No. 1 right now!

このド王道の幼馴染で彼が芸能人、という使い古された少女漫画の設定で、誰もがわかっているようなストーリーなのに、ここまでギュッて心掴まれるような少女漫画わ描いてくれている餡蜜先生に、ありがとうと叫びたいです。

I want to say thank you to Anmit-sensei, who has drawn girls' comics that capture my heart so tightly even though it's a story that everyone knows, with an overused girls' comic setting where he is an entertainer.

幸せになってほしい

I want you to be happy

This review contains spoilers. 普段は家事スキルが高くてしっかり者の千明がお姉ちゃんで世話を焼かれている昴が弟のような関係ですが、恋愛のことになると千明がピュアすぎてお姉ちゃん感が消えるところがすごくかわいいです。お互いの立場を思いやりすぎてすれ違いが起きがちですが、これ以上邪魔が入らずに幸せになってほしいです。

This review contains spoilers. Normally, Chiaki, who has good housework skills, is the older sister and the younger brother, but when it comes to love, the fact that Chiaki is so pure that the feeling of an older sister disappears is really cute. We tend to be too compassionate about each other's positions, and we want them to be happy without getting in the way any more.

今、1番ハマっている作品

The work I'm most addicted to right now

芸能人×幼なじみという関係、結構珍しい気がします。（芸能人×ファンという関係は、よく見かけますが）そのため、新鮮で面白かったです。また、人物の作画が丁寧で笑顔がとっても美しく描かれていていいなと感じました。

I feel like the relationship between an entertainer and a childhood friend is pretty unusual. (I often see relationships between entertainers and fans), so it was fresh and interesting. Also, I felt that it would be nice if the characters were drawn carefully and their smiles were drawn so beautifully.

強く薦めます！尊いはこのこと。

I highly recommend it! This is precious.

This review contains spoilers. ステラはイタリア語で星だそうで。最初は大好きな幼馴染が芸能人となり売れっ子になっていくスターの意味かな？と。思ったら途中で明かされらるヒーローにとってヒロインが”いちばんぼし”のくだりにやらられた！孤独だった小さいころからのたいせつなひと。なんて尊いの。

This review contains spoilers. Stella is Italian for star. Does it mean a star whose favorite childhood friend at first becomes an entertainer and becomes a hot seller? and. The heroine was made into the “best” story for the hero who was revealed along the way if you think about it! A very important person since I was a little girl who was lonely. How precious.
