むねあつすぎる

My breast is too hot

皆さんがレビューで書かれた通り、3部作くらいの映画見た気分でした！よくぞここまでのめり込ませてくれましたね！これはアニメ映画にしましょう！

As everyone wrote in their reviews, I felt like I had watched about 3 movies! I'm glad you got me this far! Let's make this an animated film!

ウィルスミスとキムタク？

Will Smith and Kim Tak?

ハリウッドも夢じゃないと書いてる方いましたが、私もそう思いました。私の脳内ではアダムがウィルで、ルネがキムタクです。

There were people who wrote that Hollywood isn't a dream either, and I thought so too. In my mind, Adam is Will, and René is Kimutaku.

すごい世界観

Great view of the world

新型の眠り病を根絶させるためにキングとコンビでダイブするが、、、難しいけど面白い。ハリウッド映画を見ているよう。

They dive in combination with King to eradicate a novel type of sleeping sickness, but... it's difficult but interesting. It's like watching a Hollywood movie.

ハリウッド映画かドラマシリーズにして！

Make it a Hollywood movie or TV series!

女性マンガ扱いになっていますが、もったいないです。ストーリーがすごい！かなり複雑なのでどちらかというと大人向けのSFのミステリー・サスペンス。コロナ禍になる前に完結した作品のようですが、今読むとものすごくドキドキします。是非ネタバレしないで一気に読んで下さい。読んだマンガの映画化を観たいと思うことは滅多にないのですが、これはハリウッドで実写映画、あるいはテレビシリーズにしたら絶対に受ける作品！

It's treated as a female manga, but it's a waste. The story is amazing! It's pretty complicated, so it's more of a sci-fi mystery suspense for adults. It seems like the work was completed before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but it's extremely exciting to read it now. Please read it all at once without spoilers. I rarely want to watch a film adaptation of a manga I've read, but this is a Hollywood film that I would definitely accept if it were a live-action movie or TV series!

これはスゴイ！！

this is amazing!!

まずは、日本人が作者なんだ〜と驚きました。日本では無い匂いがする作品です。１本の映画を観ているようでした。フィクションだと分かっていても、世界観が素晴らしくて読み耽りました。

First of all, I was surprised that the artist was Japanese. It's a work with a smell not found in Japan. It was like watching a movie. Even though I knew it was fiction, the worldview was so wonderful that I indulged in reading it.

すごい！

amazing!

すごい漫画！早く読んでいれば良かった！SF、ヒューマンドラマ、ミステリー沢山の要素が詰まっているのにバランスがいい！登場人物たちのトラウマと再生に感動しました！最後も良かった！

Great comic! I wish I had read it sooner! It's packed with lots of elements of science fiction, human drama, and mystery, yet the balance is good! I was moved by the traumas and regeneration of the characters! The last one was great too!

多分未来は変えられる

Maybe the future can be changed

This review contains spoilers. 謎の奇病「眠り病」。患者は治療を施さない限り、３ヶ月以内に９５％が衰弱し、死に至る。治療法は「ダイバー」と「コンパニオン」と呼ばれる二人組が、チームを組んでその患者の意識下に潜入し、記憶にとりついたウィルスを破壊するのみ。甚大な犠牲者を出したあと終息したかと思われていた謎の病が、８年後…さらに禍々しい変異種となって発見される――。「キング」と呼ばれた伝説のダイバーと、事故によって片足を失った傷痍軍人アダムがこの奇病に挑む物語。最初ほとんど説明がないので「？？？」だったけど、読み進めるうちにその世界観がわかってくると、怒涛のように面白くなって、最後まで一気読み。物語後半、とてつもなく孤独な男の過去が出てきます。その孤独があまりにも切ないので、５巻で一度手が止まったけど。すっ……ごくよかったです、この作品。これほど人の人生に寄り添い、心の痛みと救済を描いてる作品を読むのは久しぶり。すべてを読み終わった後、もう一度最初から読み返す。絵、ストーリー、登場人物の魅力、深さ、読後感…すべてパーフェクト。素晴らしい作品でした。

This review contains spoilers. The mysterious rare disease “sleeping sickness.” Unless treatment is given to patients, 95% will weaken within 3 months, leading to death. The only treatment is that a duo called a “diver” and a “companion” team up to sneak under the patient's consciousness and destroy the virus caught in memory. The mysterious disease, which was thought to have ended after causing huge casualties, is discovered 8 years later... as an even more ominous variant... A story about a legendary diver called the “King” and Adam, a disabled veteran who lost one leg due to an accident, challenging this rare disease. There was almost no explanation at first, so “???” But as I read on, I came to understand that view of the world, and it became furious and I read it all at once until the end. In the second half of the story, the past of an extremely lonely man comes out. That loneliness was so sad that I stopped working once after volume 5. Wow... this work was really good. It's been a long time since I read a work that is so close to people's lives and depicts heartache and relief. After reading everything, reread it from the beginning again. The picture, the story, the appeal of the characters, the depth, the feeling after reading... everything is perfect. It was a great work.

世界観がよい

Good view of the world

説明くさくないので正直わかりづらいところもあるが、その余白の部分がこの世界観を作っているのかなとも思う。表情や前後のやりとりから、その時のキャラクターの心情を想像でき、どんどん感情移入してしまう。不思議な魅力の詰まった作品です。

It's not difficult to explain, so honestly, there are places that are hard to understand, but I also think that margin part creates this worldview. I can imagine the character's feelings at that time from facial expressions and back-and-forth communication, and I empathize more and more. It is a work filled with mysterious charm.

まるでハリウッド映画のよう

Just like a Hollywood movie

This review contains spoilers. 漫画の「バナナ・フィッシュ」と映画「インセプション」を彷彿とさせる内容でした。絵も素晴らしいのですが、ディフォルメした顔などにクセがあって、そこがたまらない感じです。

This review contains spoilers. The content was reminiscent of the comic “Banana Fish” and the movie “Inception.” The pictures are also wonderful, but they have a habit of deformed faces, etc., and that is an irresistible feeling.

想像の未来

The future of imagination

This review contains spoilers. 絵の緻密さとストーリーがとにかく素晴らしい！田中さんの“千年万年～”も大好きですがこちらの作品は未来の病気を治すためのコンパニオンとダイバーのお話。アダムとルネの凸凹コンビがまたほんとにカッコいい～過去の出来事で心を閉ざしたルネが陽気な元ネイビーのアダムとバディーを組んでだんだん心を開きお互いを信頼していきます！とにかく引き込まれます！読んでほしい作品です！

This review contains spoilers. The precision of the pictures and the story are simply amazing! I also love Mr. Tanaka's “Ten Thousand Million Years”, but this work is a story about companions and divers to cure future illnesses. The uneven duo of Adam and René is really cool again~ René, who closed her heart due to past events, teams up with a cheerful former navy Adam and Buddy to gradually open up their hearts and trust each other! It just draws me in! This is a work I want you to read!

一気読みしました

I read it all at once

他の方のレビューにある通り、一つの超大作映画やドラマを見終わった読後感でした。相棒もの、ブロマンス系に弱いのですがそれを抜きにしてもストーリーがかなり良いですね細かな伏線回収があるとか、そういうわけでは無いですがサスペンス要素があり二人で協力して犯人を探し出していく過程が一番楽しかったです。ラストもスッキリ。欲を言えば最終巻はもう少しサブキャラの話だったり作者の小話を1Pくらい読みたかったかも笑

As you can see from other people's reviews, it was a feeling after reading after watching one blockbuster movie or drama. My partner is weak against bromances, but even without that, the story is pretty good, right? There's no detailed foreshadowing collection or anything like that, but there are suspense elements, and the process of the two cooperating to find the culprit was the most fun. The last one was also refreshing. Speaking of greed, the last volume is about a few more subcharacters, and maybe I wanted to read about 1P of the author's small stories lol

面白い！

interesting!

難解な話かと思いきやぐいぐい引き込まれる。未来にありそうな話だし、ミヒャエルエンデを思い出すような話でもある。モモのような。とにかく読み続けたい、知りたいってなるひさびさの個人的ヒットな作品。人物がそれぞれ魅力的。絵が綺麗。

I thought it was an esoteric story, but I was drawn in so much. It's a story likely to happen in the future, and it's also a story that reminds me of Michael Ende. Like peaches. It's a personal hit work by Hisabisa that makes me want to keep reading and get to know. Each person is charming. The picture is beautiful.

ほんとに是非読んで欲しい

I really want you to read it

とても面白い漫画に出会ってしまいますから絶対に読んで頂きたいです。絵が美しくそれだけで世界観に引き込まれてしまいます。凸凹バディが徐々に相棒へと関係を深めていくまでの話しが大好きな方たちにはオススメすぎる漫画です。登場人物たち一人一人の背景に思いを馳せたくなる重厚な内容のストーリーです。

You'll come across a very interesting comic, so I definitely want you to read it. The picture is beautiful and that alone draws me into the view of the world. This comic is highly recommended for those who love the story of Bumpy Buddy gradually deepens their relationship with their partner. It's a rich story that makes you want to think about the background of each of the characters.

全6巻一気読み！！

Read all 6 volumes at once!

途中で読むのをやめれませんでした！面白かった！！素晴らしいストーリー展開！！超シリアスな中にもアダムの人柄で和らぐわ。取り付く島もなかったルネが信頼を寄せてくれるの堪りません。クールビューティ最高！！とにかくめちゃくちゃ良かったです。

I couldn't stop reading along the way! That was interesting!! Great storyline!! Even though he's super serious, Adam's personality makes me feel at ease. It's unbearable that René, who had no islands to attach to, trusts me. Cool beauty is the best!! Anyway, it was insanely good.

A mysterious view of the world and a pattern that matches it

千年万年りんごの子もファンタジーな世界観でしたがこの話もファンタジーな物語。よくこんな話思いつくな〜〜とこの作者さんの頭の中を覗き込んでみたくなりました(o^^o)ルネがかっこいい

The Ten Thousand Million Year Apple Boy also had a fantasy worldview, but this story is also a fantasy story. It made me want to look inside the author's head when I can't think of a story like this very often (o^^o) René is cool

You'll be drawn into a story where you dive under consciousness to stop sleeping sickness, just like watching a movie! The contrasting personalities of the two make me happy.
