今を大切に

Cherish the present

とても儚く美しい作品だと思います。今を大切に生きようと思えます。こんな病気があるのかどうかは置いておいて・・・。弟がとても優しくて、切ないです。

I think it's a very ephemeral and beautiful work. I think I'm going to cherish the present. Leave aside whether or not you have this kind of illness... My brother is so kind and sad.

This review contains spoilers. もし俺がくたばっても、君は悲しまないでくれるかい?君に会えて俺は本当に幸せだったから「いい日々だったな」って笑ってくれるかい?全編にわたって、詩のようなセリフがとても美しくて。素晴らしい作品だと思いました。なんで生きているんだろうって何十年も考えていますが、この作品はその答えのひとつを教えてくれました。タダノなつ先生、ありがとうございました

This review contains spoilers. if I slap you, won't you be sad? I was really happy to meet you, so can you laugh “those were good days”? The poetic lines were so beautiful throughout the entire story. I thought it was a great work. I've been wondering why I'm alive for decades, and this work taught me one of the answers. Thank you, Tadano Natsu sensei

大好きです。

I love it.

一度読んでからふとした時に思い出して何度も何度も読んでいます。生きるも死ぬもどちらにせよ不安は抱き続けるし、答えのない答えをずっと考え続けながらこの世界を生きていたい。

After reading it once, I accidentally remember it and read it over and over again. Whether living or dying, I will continue to have anxiety, and I want to live in this world while continuing to think about unanswered answers for a long time.

見た後に

After watching

This review contains spoilers. ぽっかり胸に穴が空いた気持ちになりました。幸せって、生きるってなんでしょうか。大切な人を亡くしても人生は続いていくんですね。

This review contains spoilers. It made me feel like I had a gaping hole in my chest. What does happiness mean to live? Life goes on even if you lose someone special to you.

つらい

arduous

きょもが好きなので原作も気になって購入です。先生の最後があの描写はちょっとつらい。もう少し救いがほしかった。

I like Kyomo, so I bought it because I was curious about the original one. That depiction at the end of the teacher is a bit difficult. I wanted a little more salvation.

胸が詰まる…

My heart is getting stuck...

少女マンガでこの内容はふだんなら手は出さないのですが、絵が優しく惹きつけられました。内容もすごく良かったです。治らない病は憎く悔しい存在ですが、それがある事で鮮明に時間が有限だと感じる事でそこから過ごす時間が深く濃くなる。今過ごしてる時間や、先の予定がとても貴重な事だと考えさせられました。幸せを感じる、噛み締められる事こそが幸せなのかなぁと思いました。

I usually don't touch this content in girls' manga, but I was gently drawn to the picture. The content was also really good. Illnesses that cannot be cured are hateful and frustrating, but by having them, I clearly feel that time is finite, and the time spent from there becomes deeper and more intense. It made me think that the time I'm spending now and my future plans are very valuable. I was wondering if feeling happy and being chewed is what makes me happy.

泣けました。

It made me cry.

This review contains spoilers. 10年前、姉の逝去を経験しました。身近な人の死は信じがたい程の悲しみですが、この作品では「死」は本当に不幸なことなのか、本人の納得のいく人生ならばと願う心、そして姉もそんな気持ちであったのならばと、心が少し救われました。涙を流して読ませて頂きました。この作品に出会えて良かったです。ありがとうございました。

This review contains spoilers. I experienced the death of my sister 10 years ago. The death of someone close to me is so sad that it's hard to believe, but in this work, my heart was saved a little bit, wondering if “death” was really unfortunate, my heart hoped that it would be a satisfying life for the person, and if my sister felt that way too. I shed tears and read it to my eyes. I'm glad I came across this work. Thank you very much.

是非読んでほしい

I want you to read it

全3巻ですが、濃密です。この話を読んで、私は今どこまで歩んでいるのか、考えさせられました。先生の優しさと彼女の強さが響きます。

There are 3 volumes in total, but they are intense. Reading this story made me think about how far I have come. The teacher's kindness and her strength resonate.

泣いた

wept

絵はあまり好きではないが、泣きました。正直こんなに泣くとは思わなかったです。弟、母、それぞれの気持ちがあって、考えただけで辛かったし、ゆるぎ先生の最後の講演、二人の気持ちが重なって本来ならハッピーなんだけど、なんか余計に辛くなった。みんな産まれた瞬間から死に向かっているんだけど、でも終わりが直ぐそこだとわかってしまうのはキツイですね。

I don't really like the picture, but I cried. To be honest, I never thought I'd cry this much. My younger brother and mother each had their own feelings, and it was hard just thinking about it, and when Yurugi sensei's last lecture, their feelings overlapped, and they were originally happy, but something became extra painful. Everyone is on their way to death from the moment they are born, but it's tough to know that the end is right around the corner.

悲しいけど暖かくなれます

It's sad but it makes me warm

This review contains spoilers. ドラマがきっかけで読み始めましたさらっと読みやすい構成ですがいろいろ考えたり思ったりしてなんども読み返したくなります余命宣告させている二人なので悲しいお話ですが二人で過ごしている時のシーンはとても暖かくてなれます

This review contains spoilers. The drama triggered me to start reading it, and the structure is easy to read, but it makes me want to reread it over and over again after thinking about various things. It's a sad story since they are two people who are making life expectancy declarations, but the scenes when the two of them spend time together are very warm

切ない

It's sad

ドラマ放送にあたり1巻を読んだけど悲しい話って分かってるのにゆるゆる先生と一花ちゃんのシーンがほっこりして2人の行く末を見守りたいと思った。

I read volume 1 when the drama was broadcast, and even though I knew it was a sad story, I felt relaxed about the scene between Yuru Yuru Sensei and Ichika-chan, and I wanted to keep an eye on the future of the two.

I learned about it in dramas. It's sad. I've only read one volume, but I'm hoping that the two of them will have a lot of fun in the future.

死ぬのはやだなぁ

I don't want to die

This review contains spoilers. 一気に3巻読んでしまった。途中でやめるなんて、できなかった。もしかしたら都合の良い奇跡とか起きないかなあ、なんて思いながら読んだけど、やっぱり起きなかった。生まれたら、死ぬしかないよね。なら、生まれる意味はない？どうせ死ぬなら、何をやっても無駄？そんなことはない。でも、なんのために生きるかなんて知らない。望んで生まれる人もいない。生まれたから生きる。必ず死ぬけど、死ぬために生きてるわけじゃない。生きていたって、特別な何か偉業を為せるわけじゃない。それでも、やっぱり死ぬのはやだなぁ。2人もいやだっただろうな。余命宣告された男女の…なんて言葉から想像するお涙頂戴ものじゃないよ。悲しいけど明るい話。一花がものすごく魅力的。お母さんと弟もいい。良い家族。それだけに、この後が気になるよ。娘を失う母…自分が死ぬより辛いだろうな。それでも、生きている人たちは、生きていくんだよね。

This review contains spoilers. I read 3 volumes at once. I couldn't stop halfway through. I read it while wondering if a convenient miracle or something might happen, but it didn't happen after all. Once you're born, you have no choice but to die. Then there's no point in being born? If you're going to die anyway, is it no use doing anything? That's not true. But I don't know what I live for. No one is born to want to. I live since I was born. I always die, but I'm not living to die. Being alive doesn't mean you can do anything special. Still, I still don't want to die. The two of them probably didn't like it either. It's not a tearful thing you can imagine from words like men and women who have been declared to have a long life expectancy. A sad but bright story. Ichika is extremely attractive. Mom and brother are good too. A good family. That's why I'm worried about what comes after this. A mother losing her daughter... it must be harder than dying herself. Even so, people who are alive will continue to live, right?

直接的な表現がなくとも

Even without direct expression

This review contains spoilers. ふたりは今を生きて、しあわせだったことが伝わりました。生きること、誰かを愛すること、いろんなことを考えさせられる切なく美しいストーリーでした。最後のページはまた逢えた、そういう解釈でいいんですよね。とても好きな作品です。

This review contains spoilers. The two are living now, and it was conveyed that they were happy. It was a painfully beautiful story that made me think about many things, such as living and loving someone. I was able to see the last page again, so that's fine with that interpretation. It's a work I really like.

生きること

To live

This review contains spoilers. 素晴らしい漫画です。泣けます。余命幾ばくも無い女性が恋をした相手も、死を目前にしていた。哀しい二人ですが、一花の明るさ、先生の真面目さ、家族の愛、一つ一つが輝き、生きる事の大切さを考えさせられる。堂々とお勧めできる作品です。

This review contains spoilers. It's a great comic. It makes me cry. The woman, who had little life to live with, fell in love with was also on the verge of death. They are two sad people, but the brightness of Ichika, the seriousness of the teacher, and the love of the family shine one by one, and it makes me think about the importance of living. I can proudly recommend this work.

言葉にならない

I can't put it into words

This review contains spoilers. 最終話を読み終わった直後は、ただただひたすら悲しい。奇跡はあったけど、都合のいい奇跡は起こらない。どこまでも現実的なのに、それでいて夢のようにきれいで純粋な物語でした。本編も泣いてしまいましたが、個人的にいちばん涙腺にきたのは、あとがきの1ページです。このたった1ページのイラスト１枚でどれだけの意味が含まれてるのか考えれば考えるほどに泣けてきてしまって仕方ありません。すごい漫画に出会えました…。本当にありがとうございました。なお、回想と現在が行き来することでストーリーがより深くなっており、もう１度その場面に戻って読みたくなる為、全話を読み直せるように巻での購入をしました。紙の本でも持っていたい…

This review contains spoilers. Right after I finished reading the last story, I was just plain sad. There were miracles, but no convenient miracles happened. The story was as beautiful and pure as a dream, even though it was extremely realistic. The main story also made me cry, but what personally came to my lacrimal glands the most was page 1 of the afterword. I can't help but cry the more I think about how much meaning is contained in this one-page illustration. I came across an amazing comic... Thank you so much. Note that the story became deeper as recollections and the present went back and forth, and since I wanted to go back to that scene and read it again, I bought it in volume so that I could reread all the stories. I want to have a paper book too...

清らかな気持ちになる

It makes me feel pure

余命が短いが故に相手を思い離れようとして、相手を思うが故に知らず知らずと傷つけてしまっていて。登場人物がみんな相手の幸せを願っている。儚くて清らかで泣けました。素敵な漫画に出会えました。

Since my life expectancy is short, I tried to get away from my partner, and because I think about my partner, I unknowingly hurt them. The characters all wish for their partner's happiness. It was so ephemeral and pure that it made me cry. I came across a wonderful comic.

生きることや幸せについて考えさせられる

It makes me think about life and happiness

This review contains spoilers. 余命いくばくも無い2人を中心としたお話と聞くとただただ悲しいお話しなのかと思いがちですが、主人公の元気なキャラクターも手伝って、むしろ生きることや幸福について目が向くお話しでした。雨のシーンや水が印象的に使われていて、何度も繰り返し読むたび物語の捉え方も変わり、色んな風に考察できる読み応えある作品でした。終わり方も私はとっても良いと思います。

This review contains spoilers. It's easy to think that it's just a sad story when you hear that it's a story centered around two people with little life expectancy, but the main character's energetic character also helped, and it was rather a story that looked at life and happiness. Rainy scenes and water were used impressively, and the way the story was captured changed as it was read over and over again, and it was a well-read work that can be considered in many ways. I think the way it ends is also very good.

さよならだけが…

Just goodbye...

生きるってなんだろう、死ってなんだろう。幾つになっても、大切な人を得ても亡くしても永遠に考え続けることだと思います。2人が出会い、過ごし、通じ合った“束の間”の日々。それを忘れまいと思う。折に触れて思い出そうと思う。そういう作品でした。

I wonder what living is, and what is death. No matter how old you are, whether you gain or lose someone special, I think it's about continuing to think about it forever. “Momentary” days where the two met, spent, and communicated. I don't think I'll forget that. I think I'll remember it from time to time. That's the kind of work it was.
