新刊出るたびに最初から読み直す私

I reread it from the beginning every time a new issue comes out

私にもまだ若い好青年と出会うチャンスあるかしら、なーんてワクワクしながら読んでます。絵も好みで、ストーリーも前向きな内容なので毎回新刊出ると最初から読み直してます。

I'm so excited to read it, wondering if I have a chance to meet a good young man who is still young. I like the pictures, and the story is positive, so I reread it from the beginning every time a new publication comes out.

マンガだからいいけど

It's fine because it's a manga

なんていうか、若い人がターゲットではないことは分かる。でも40才って、まだまだ色気があって、このマンガを実写化したら生々しくなると思う。

I mean, I know young people aren't the target. But at age 40, I still have sex appeal, and I think it would be vivid if this manga were made into a live-action adaptation.

わかりますよ。

I understand.

我が夫婦も妻が7歳年上です。当時は偏見の嵐でした。今はむしろ正常なのかな？気を遣い気を使われでしたが、段々強くなっていくものです。気にならなくなりました。つぼみさんと航平さんの悩みもわかります。（妻も一緒に読んでいるので）今後、乗り越えていくことも多いと存じますが、夫婦ともどもお二人の幸せを応援いたします！

My wife and I are 7 years older. It was a storm of prejudice at the time. I wonder if it's rather normal now? They were careful and careful, but it gradually became stronger. I don't care anymore. I also understand the problems of Tsubomi and Kohei. (My wife is also reading it together) I know there are many things we will overcome in the future, but both my husband and I will support their happiness!

面白いです?

It's interesting?

現代にぴったりの漫画だなと。晩婚化が進んでいる今、こういう悩みを抱えている人も多いのだろうなと考えさせられます。女性はどうしても出産を考えると年齢の問題が付き纏う。だけど、付き合うことや結婚することは多種多様で、何が大切かを自分たちが決めることだなと。つぼみとこうへいの2人も好きですが、その周りの人達も素敵だなと思います。

I think it's the perfect comic for today. Now that late marriages are progressing, it makes me think that there are many people who have this kind of trouble. Women inevitably have age issues when they think about giving birth. However, there are a wide variety of relationships and marriages, and I think it's up to us to decide what is important. I also like Tsubomi and Suhei, and I think the people around them are wonderful too.

ムズキュン

Muzukyun

40歳の坂上さんは、勤務17年のベテランで彼氏なし、営業の年下イケメン中嶌から告白されるが、、、年下でイケメンで人気者の中嶌くん、しかも性格も良しで、40歳という年齢の平凡な坂上さんが消極的になるのもすごくわかる。坂上さんが幸せになりますように。

Sakagami, 40, is a 17-year-old veteran who has worked for 17 years, has no boyfriend, and is confessed by Nakajima, a young handsome sales guy, but I can also really understand that Nakajima-kun, who is younger, handsome, and popular, has a good personality, and a mediocre Sakagami, who is 40 years old, becomes passive. I hope Sakagami will be happy.

It's something I admire because it's not me. What's more, the hero is a very nice kid!! It's not just about glittering places, it's about facing worries and reality, and I'm drawn more and more into it.

両親が出てくる回はどちらも泣けました

I was both able to cry the time my parents appeared

評価高くはないけど、いいコミックですよ。お互いの親がでてくる回はどちらも泣けました(T . T)それから、レビューで40歳はもっと若々しい！とかもっと老けてる！とかありますが、40歳もいろんな人がいますよ笑当たり前ですが。私も40代ですが子供もいるので見るからに中年のおばさんですが、未婚だったり子供のいない同じ歳の友人は若々しかったりしますよ。もちろん子供がいても若々しい友人もいますし。たまにある28歳くらいの主人公女子が、歳だから〜とかアラサーだから〜ってやつの方が、現実味なくてイラッとします笑

It's not highly rated, but it's a good comic. We were both able to cry the time each other's parents came out (T. T) Also, according to reviews, 40-year-olds are even younger! or something even older! There are things like that, but there are all kinds of people who are 40 years old lol of course. I'm also in my 40s and have children, so I'm a middle-aged old lady, but my friends of the same age who are unmarried or don't have children are young. Of course, even if they have children, they also have young friends. Sometimes the main character girl who is around 28 years old is more annoying because she's old... or because it's Alasaa lol

毎月の楽しみ

Monthly fun

もどかし過ぎず、うまくいき過ぎず。程よいペースでストーリーが進み、内容もステキです。母娘の今回は、お互いの思いやり＋彼の支えも感じられて特に良かった〜！ドラマ化したら、誰が適役かな、なんて想像しながら、毎月楽しみに読んでいます。

It wasn't too frustrating, and it didn't work too well. The story progresses at a moderate pace, and the content is wonderful. It was especially nice to be able to feel the mother and daughter's compassion for each other and his support this time around! I look forward to reading it every month while imagining who will be the right actor once it's made into a drama.

最新話まで読みましたが、本当に最高‼︎みんな優しくて素直で、こっちまで幸せな気持ちになれます私もこんな思い遣りに溢れたまっすぐな相手と、こんな風に生きて行きたいなーとつくづく思いました次話が待ち遠しくてたまらん！

I've even read the latest episode, and it's really great ‼ ︎ everyone is kind and honest, and it makes me feel happy up to this point. I also kept thinking that I want to live this way with a straight partner full of compassion, and I can't wait for the next episode!

応援したくなる！

I want to cheer!

最初はつぼみさんが「私なんてオバさんだし」と卑屈なことばっかり言ってるのにちょっとイライラしました…笑でもワンコ系の後輩男子にまっすぐ気持ちをぶつけられて、少しずつ前向きになっていくのが素敵。周りの人たちも優しくて魅力的で、ほっこりする漫画でした。現実に40歳の女性が20代の男性と付き合ったら、自分も周りも思うことがいろいろありそうだけど、この二人には幸せになってほしいな。続きを楽しみにしています！

At first, Tsubomi only said “what an old woman I am,” but I was a little frustrated... lol, but it's nice to be directly bombarded with my feelings by junior doggy boys, and little by little they became positive. The people around me were also kind and charming, and it was a comic that made me feel relaxed. In reality, when a 40-year-old woman dates a man in her 20s, she and those around her seem to have many things to think about, but I want these two to be happy. I'm looking forward to the continuation!

漫画だけど、リアル

It's a comic, but it's real

(まだ付き合ってないけど)良い感じの人が、16歳上です。私は41歳で、つぼみちゃんと近い年齢。なんだかとてもリアルに感じました。私の場合は男性の方が年上なのでまた違うかもしれませんが、それでも、やっぱり年の差って一生付いて回るものなんだろうなと思いました。つぼみちゃんには、絶対幸せになってほしいです！

The person I feel good about (though I haven't been in a relationship yet) is 16 years older. I'm 41 years old, close to Tsubomi's age. Somehow it felt so real. In my case, men are older, so it may be different, but even so, I still thought that the age difference would last a lifetime. I definitely want Tsubomi to be happy!

毎回楽しみにしてます。今回も面白かったです。親の気持ちもわかるし、二人の気持ちもわかる。年齢や世間体を気にするのってもう古いんだろうけど、どうしても気になるよな。漫画だからいいって思ってしまうところが、どうしてもある?

I look forward to it every time. It was fun this time too. I understand my parents' feelings, and I understand how they both feel. It's probably old to worry about age and public health, but I'm worried no matter what. Is there anything that makes you think it's good because it's a comic, no matter what?

This review contains spoilers. 年齢の差なければ悩みもしないのに、つぼみさんの彼を想う気持ちとそれ故の不安や葛藤のせめぎ合いが、心に刺さります。でも若い彼はつぼみさんへの真っ直ぐな気持ちで、そんな複雑な彼女の気持ちに優しくよりそってふたりで一緒に考えて乗り越えてくれようとする。もう絶対幸せになってほしい。部長、素敵な人だっただけに切なかった。

This review contains spoilers. Even though there is no age difference, I have no worries, but the conflict between Tsubomi's feelings about him and the anxiety and conflict that is why it sticks in my heart. But as a young man, he has straight feelings for Tsubomi, and the two of them try to overcome them by gently following her complicated feelings and thinking together. I definitely want them to be happy already. The manager was just a wonderful person, so I was sad.

夢のようでいて現実よりリアル

It's like a dream and it's more real than reality

This review contains spoilers. 40歳の主人公と一回り年下の男の子が歳の差恋愛をするお話。14巻まで読了。地味で孤独な四十路のつぼみが人気・実力のある年下イケメンとお付き合いするなんて、設定はよくあるけど夢のように羨ましくなります。でも実際に描かれているのは、歳の差ゆえに厳しい周囲の反応だったり、それを感じて思い悩む二人のリアルすぎる姿。年上だからと気を遣いすぎたり、遠慮したり、恥ずかしい思いをさせたくないと一歩ひいて最悪のケースを想像してしまうつぼみの気持ちは、同年代だからこそ痛いほど分かります。悪気はないけど、年を重ねることで染み付いてしまった年齢相応でいなきゃという鎧でガチガチに固まってしまう中、勇気を出して一歩を踏み出し、彼と付き合うことで前向きに変わっていくつぼみの姿には共感と共に好感を抱きます。また年下男子航平の頼って欲しい、釣り合うようになりたいという思いの感じ方もまっすぐで、男側の目線や考え方にも納得させられる部分が多かったです。実際、結婚してない四十路なんて敬遠されがちな世の中で、そういうフィルターなくフラットに見てくれる人がいたらやっぱり嬉しいし、それは真面目に一生懸命生きてきたつぼみの誠実さの現れであることをお話の中から感じました。また、つぼみの考え方や会話の切り返し方には、彼女の思いやりや優しさが詰まっていて心が温かくなります。とはいえ、それだけでは乗り越えられないのが歳の差恋愛。今後の展開にも多くの問題があると思いますが、解決策は唯一つ、二人がずっと幸せでいること。二人が永遠の幸せを掴むまで見守りたいです。

This review contains spoilers. This is a story about a 40-year-old protagonist and a boy who is one size younger, having an age difference romance. I've read up to 14 volumes. It's a common setting for a plain and lonely 40th-old Tsubomi to go out with a young handsome guy who is popular and capable, but it makes me envious as if it were a dream. However, what is actually depicted is an overly realistic appearance of the two people who feel and worry about severe reactions from their surroundings due to the age difference. I painfully understand the feeling of being depressed by taking a step back and imagining the worst case if you don't want to worry too much because you're older, hold back, or feel embarrassed. There's no offense, but I sympathize and like the appearance of Tsubomi, who has gathered up the courage to take a step forward and change positively by being in a relationship with him, while being stuck in a tight spot with the old age. Also, the way I felt that the younger boy Kohei wanted to be relied upon and wanted to be balanced was straightforward, and there were many parts that convinced me of the man's perspective and way of thinking. In fact, in a world where people in their forties who aren't married tend to be shunned, I would be happy after all if there were people who looked at me in a flat manner without such a filter, and I felt from the story that it was a sign of the sincerity of Tsubomi, who has lived a serious and hard life. Also, Tsubomi's way of thinking and switching back and forth between conversations is filled with her compassion and kindness, which warms my heart. Nonetheless, what cannot be overcome by itself is age difference romance. I think there are many problems with future developments, but the only solution is for the two of them to stay happy all the time. I want to watch until the two of them seize eternal happiness.
