最高オブ最高

The best of the best

自分自身高校生の頃からヘアメイクの勉強をしてヘアメイクアップアーティストになるためにアシスタントに付いて走り回ってる身でメイクに対して枯れてた心が潤いました！初心に返って私も心を入れ替えて走りたいと思います！

I've been studying hair and makeup since I was in high school and running around with my assistant to become a hair and makeup artist, and my dead heart about makeup was nourished! I want to go back to the beginning and change my mind and run!

勇気づけられた

I was encouraged

This review contains spoilers. 「凹まされたり削られたりした自分がどんな形になっていくのか見てみたい」という言葉がすごく刺さった。多くの人が欠点と見ているそばかすを向日葵と言い換える表現がとても好き。

This review contains spoilers. The words “I want to see what shape my dented and scraped self will take” really stuck with me. I really like the expression that paraphrases freckles, which many people see as flaws, as sunflowers.

この本買って正解だと思います。

I think I did the right thing by buying this book.

This review contains spoilers. こんなにドキドキする漫画初めて出会いました絵のタッチは勿論素敵ですが、境遇とか立ち位置の差、この子本当は何か抱えてるんだろうなって少しタッチただけなのに印象に残りやすく、ふとした時に思い出しながら読んでました。作者様のお話の触れ方すらとても綺麗。悩みや葛藤を抱えた2人が、少しずつ自分のポテンシャルを受け入れて良い物に変える為の力にしていく姿はワクワクして、気が付くと1巻終わってて驚きましたね。高校生の行動力ってすっごいなぁ。実際に田舎から出てきた身であり、早くに上京して夢を掴んで世界に揉まれて挫折した者から申し上げるととてもリアルで、このリアルさがとても綺麗だなと、泣きながら読んでました。ここから先、もがき続けて綺麗になって行く2人がとても楽しみでなりません。

This review contains spoilers. This is the first time I've come across such an exciting comic. Of course, the touch of the picture is wonderful, but it's easy to leave an impression on me even though I just touched it a little bit because of the circumstances and differences in position, and this kid actually has something, and I read it while remembering it by accident. Even the way the author touches the story is so beautiful. I was excited to see the two people, who had worries and conflicts, gradually accept their own potential and use it as strength to turn it into something good, and when I noticed it, I was surprised that volume 1 was over. High school students' ability to act is amazing. I read it while crying that it was a person who actually came out of the countryside, and when I came to Tokyo early, grabbed my dream, and was frustrated by the world, it was very real, and this realism was so beautiful. I'm really looking forward to the two of them continuing to struggle and become beautiful from here on out.

素敵！

Twitterから絵柄に惹かれて購入しました。最初男の子が斜に構えてるな〜と思いましたが、女の子含め内面とってもピュアでかわいいです〜！今後の展開も楽しみです！

I was attracted to the design from Twitter and bought it. At first, I thought boys were holding them at an angle, but the inside, including girls, they are so pure and cute! I'm looking forward to future developments!

絵のタッチ好き

I like the touch of a picture

まぁ好き嫌いはどの漫画でも出るとおもうけどここだ！ってとこでの絵のタッチが最高にいいストーリーは良くも悪くも普通強だけど絵だけでかなり引き込まれる、今後のストーリー展開にも期待

Well, I think likes and dislikes would appear in any comic, but here it is! The story with the best touch of the picture at this point is usually strong for better or worse, but the picture alone draws you in quite a bit, and I'm looking forward to future story developments

見た目も中身も美しい

The appearance and contents are beautiful

作者さんのTwitterで1話が丸ごと読めるのですが、1話だけ読んだ時点で読み切り漫画のようなカタルシスがあって感動しました。連載漫画だと知って即購入。まずお話がいいです。よくあるシンデレラストーリーかと思ったらそうではなく、ひとつのエピソードをきっかけにしてメインキャラの男女が互いに影響を与え合っていくお話になります。そして絵が美しい。表紙と最初のカラーページだけでも息を呑みますが、その後の作画も表情や骨格が美しく、お話に説得力があります。1巻の時点で大きく分けて2つのエピソードがありますが、どちらも綺麗に纏まっていてキャラクターも魅力的です。一側面的ではなく、若者なりの複雑な心情が描かれています。それでいて、葛藤の先にある清々しさが心地よいです。早くも2巻が待ち遠しいです。

I can read the whole episode on the author's Twitter, but when I read only episode 1, I was moved by the catharsis of one-off comics. I bought it as soon as I knew it was a serialized comic. First, I'd like to talk. If you think it's a common Cinderella story, that's not the case; it's a story where the male and female main characters influence each other in the wake of a single episode. And the picture is beautiful. The cover and first color page alone are breathtaking, but the subsequent drawings are also beautiful in facial expressions and skeleton, and the story is persuasive. As of volume 1, there are two main episodes, which are both neatly organized and the characters are attractive. It is not one-sided, and depicts the complicated feelings of young people. At the same time, the feeling of freshness at the end of the conflict is comfortable. I can't wait for volume 2 as soon as possible.

熱量が凄くて１巻でお腹いっぱい！

The amount of heat was so great that one volume filled my stomach!

主人公は元モデルの男子高生。一方、長背でスタイルに恵まれながらも裏方として振る舞う女子高生。｢本当は裏方でいたい」「本当は表に立ちたい」周囲の期待と自分の本音とのズレを抱えた二人がコンビを組む。一見、少女漫画の題材だけど、読後感が少年漫画。メイクを可愛くする為の技術ではなく、「どう見せるか」「どう戦うか」という表現の武器として扱ってる。女子の期待するテクニックやメイク解説はない。読むのに体力がいる漫画。「才能ｖｓ努力」という王道の軸に加えて、表現する事への怖さや、快感とか、コンプレックス、他人の目、理想の自分、という自己肯定感のテーマもしっかりしてる。

The main character is a former model high school boy. Meanwhile, a high school girl who is long and blessed with style yet acts as a backside. “I really want to stay behind the scenes” and “I really want to stand on the front” two people who have a gap between the expectations of their surroundings and their own true intentions form a duo. At first glance, it's the subject of a girls' manga, but the feeling after reading it is a shonen manga. It's not a technique to make makeup cute, and it's treated as a weapon for expressions such as “how to show off” and “how to fight.” There is no explanation of techniques or makeup expected by girls. A comic that requires physical strength to read. In addition to the royal axis of “talent vs. effort,” there are also solid themes of self-affirmation such as fear of expression, pleasure, complexes, others' eyes, and ideal self.

絵が綺麗だから白黒で見てるのに鮮やかに見える。キャラの劣等感とかバイタリティの表現の仕方が好き。ジャンルが少年マンガなの分かる。

The picture is beautiful, so it looks vivid even when viewed in black and white. I like the way the characters express their sense of inferiority or vitality. I know the genre is shonen manga.

非スポーツの青春群像劇

Non-sports youth group drama

メイクアップアーティストを目指す高校生と、モデルを目指すその同級生を中心に、仲間たちと夢に向かって進んでいくストーリーは、スポーツではないものの、同じテイストを感じることができたのが面白いと感じました。アイア自身のテクニックが仲間よりも劣っている事を自覚しつつも、それを打開するために色々と試行錯誤する姿はまさに青春スポ根に近いですね！

The story centered around a high school student aiming to become a makeup artist and his classmate aiming to become a model, and progressing towards their dreams with their friends was interesting because, although it wasn't a sport, I was able to feel the same taste. While Aia is aware that her own techniques are inferior to her peers, the sight of Aia going through various trials and errors to overcome them is just close to Seishun Spogen!

印象に残るセリフが多い

There are many memorable lines

一冊読み終わる頃には、なんだか活力が湧いてくる作品。適当メイクしか出来ない私には、計算され尽くした緻密メイクの描写がとても興味深いです。

By the time you finish reading one book, it's a work that somehow invigorates you. For me, who can only do proper makeup, the detailed depiction of makeup that has been thoroughly calculated is very interesting.

メイクの力

The power of makeup

メイクアップアーティストを目指す男子高校生のアイア。モデルを目指すソバカス顔の女子高生の純。この二人が組んでコンテストに出る事で、お互いをリスペクトし合いながら、メイクという共通言語を介して、相手の魅力を心の内側から外へ解き放つ為に頑張るスポ根マンガ。この辺が少年マンガカテゴリーなのか？少年マンガからは一番遠いメイクの力を気持ちよく表現していてとても惹かれるストーリーになっています。

Aia is a male high school student aiming to become a makeup artist. Jun is a high school girl with a freckled face aiming to become a model. It's a sporane manga where these two people team up to participate in a contest, and while respecting each other, they work hard to unleash their opponent's appeal from the inside out via a common language called makeup. Is this part of the Shonen Manga category? It's a story that comfortably expresses the power of makeup, which is furthest from shonen manga, and I'm very attracted to it.
