作者買いです♡

I'm buying the author ♡

他の作品見てストーリーというか人間模様がとても面白かったので作者買いしました！この作品も絵はとても好みでしたが、写真を通して心理描写？してるとこは、なんかうんぬんかんぬん難しいこと言ってて、感情移入できなかった。

I watched the other works and the story, or rather the human pattern, was very interesting, so I bought it from the author! I really liked the picture in this work too, but is it a psychological depiction through photographs? While I was doing it, they were saying something really difficult, and I couldn't empathize with it.

ジレジレ

Gilésiré

恋愛感情を自覚しながら、過去の恋愛を顧みて、破綻してしまうと、彼との友情をも失うことを恐れて、恋心を塞ごうとする。友人ならばずっとそばにいることができるってヤツ。両想いであることがわかってからも、頑な。ひとつひとつ、彼が言葉を重ねて、心配を取り除いていく過程が、かわいい。チュ～まで。

While being aware of romantic feelings, they look back on past relationships, and if they go bankrupt, they are afraid that they will lose their friendship with him, and try to block their love. If you're a friend, you can stay close to him the whole time. Even after I knew they had both feelings, I was stubborn. The process of getting rid of his worries by repeating words one by one is so cute. Till Chu...

低評価レビューにいいねが多い

There are a lot of likes on low ratings reviews

発行順ではないけど本作で作者さんの作品制覇です。レビューでエチなし、キュンなし、物足りない、あっさり、多数見かけました。おっしゃることはわかります。確かにファンじゃなかったり初作者さんだったりしたらそう感じるかも。深みがないからストーリー重視の方には合わないのかな。私は５作目だからか作者さんってそんな作風だよねってカンジです。なんだろ、あっさりなんだけど嫌いじゃない。ズバ抜けて良くもないけど好き、みたいな。なんか購入してしまう不思議な作者さん。エチを求める方は回れ右です。

It's not in order of publication, but this work dominates the author's work. I saw a lot of reviews that were unfriendly, unsatisfying, and unsatisfactory. I understand what you're saying. Certainly, if you're not a fan or a first-time author, you might feel that way. There's no depth, so maybe it's not suitable for those who focus on the story. It's probably because it's my 5th work, and I think the author is in that style. I wonder what it is, it's easy, but I don't dislike it. It's like I like it even though it's out of place and it's not good. A mysterious author who buys something. If you are looking for ethi, turn right.

This review contains spoilers. ほんと、二人の関係がお互いが好きすぎて可愛すぎて涙でできてしまったよ。泣きながら、ピュアかよ！！！と赤面してしまいます。2人のその後が読みたい！！ずっと好きが続きますよねー楽しみにしてます。

It makes me blush. I want to read after the two of them!! I will continue to love it for a long time, I'm looking forward to it.

ほのぼの爽やか✨

Heartwarming and refreshing ✨

This review contains spoilers. ほのぼの爽やかな2人の、サクッとサラッと読める作品。キャラ設定は割とありがちかなと思ったけど、主人公2人の性格や思考が面白い。そしてなんと言っても、わたしが受けた印象は「羨ましい」ということ。15歳からの付き合いで親友で、大学からずーっと一緒に暮らしてたら、イヤな部分も見えてくるだろうにそれがないとは。離れていても好きなまんまで、再会してもさらに大好きって…友情であろうが恋愛であろうが、なかなかそんな相手と出会えないと思った。続編読みたいなと思うけど、続編だと何かしら不安な事件が起こるのは見ていられない…けど！これから先色々起こっても、この2人なら大丈夫なんだろうなと思える関係性。

This review contains spoilers. A work by two heartwarming and refreshing people that you can read quickly and smoothly. I thought character settings were pretty common, but the personalities and thoughts of the two main characters are interesting. And after all, the impression I got was that I was “envious.” We've been in a relationship since age 15 and have been best friends, and if we've been living together since college, I'm sure I can see some bad parts, but I don't think that's the case. I thought it would be hard to meet someone like that even when they were separated, and I loved them even more even when they met again... whether it was friendship or romance. I think I want to read the sequel, but I can't watch some kind of uneasy incident happen if it's a sequel... but! It's a relationship where I think these two will be fine even if various things happen in the future.

友達から恋人への１ヶ月

1 month from friend to lover

タイトル通りのストーリー。すぐに「うん」にはならない私好みのラブコメでした！10年間の両片思いが実って嬉しい～！ふたりのラブラブ好き好きがいっぱいで良かった！キス止まりもいいけど、もうちょっとエッチなシーンも見たい～。ぜひ続編お願いします！

A story as the title says. It was my favorite romantic comedy that didn't immediately turn into a “yeah”! I'm so happy that 10 years of unrequited love have come to fruition! I'm glad there are so many lovers of the two lovey-dovey lovers! It's nice to stop kissing, but I want to see some more naughty scenes too. Please give me a sequel!

タイトルが全てを表している

The title says it all

This review contains spoilers. 写真という共通の趣味で仲良くなった二人が、同居していた大学時代を経て、社会人になったタイミングで離れ離れに。それがきっかけで互いに好きを意識し、再び一緒に住むまでを描いたお話。お話の全てを一言で言ったタイトル通りのストーリー。離れたことで意識してしまった二人が、距離が戻った時にどうするかをじっくり描いています。自分の気持ちにまっすぐな湊とモダモダする航。性格的に湊の懐きっぷりから、航をとても大事にしているのがちゃんと伝わります。読んでいても湊の理論はきちんとしていて、矛盾がありません。一方で航がなぜ友人関係にこだわったのかがイマイチ分かりにくく、共感しにくかったです。社会人同士なのにキスのみのピュア過ぎる展開もこの二人らしいですが、もう少しえちも欲しかったです。大人の関係になる続編があったほうが納得しやすい気がします。

This review contains spoilers. The two, who became good friends due to a common hobby called photography, separated when they became members of society after going through college when they lived together. It's a story about how they became aware that they liked each other and lived together again as a result. A story as the title says all of the stories in one word. The two, who have become aware of their separation, are carefully drawing what they will do when their distance returns. Minato, who is straight to his own feelings, and Wataru is moderating. In terms of personality, it can be clearly conveyed from Minato's nostalgia that he values navigation very much. Even when I read it, Minato's theory is correct, and there are no contradictions. On the other hand, it wasn't really easy to understand why Wataru was so particular about friendship, and it was hard to sympathize with. Even though they are working people, the development where they only kiss is too pure seems to be between these two people, but I wanted a little more luck. I feel like it's easier to be convinced if there's a sequel that involves adults.

よかった

That was great

This review contains spoilers. 親友から親友兼恋人へ。湊の押せ押せなところとか、素直なところとか、ハッピーエンドに繋がったのかな。航大好きなのに、よく3年も離れてたよなって思ったけど、そこも湊の性格なのかな。湊のじいちゃんも、航の両親もいい人で2人とも幸せになれるね。

This review contains spoilers. From best friend to best friend and lover. I wonder if it led to a happy ending, like Minato's pushy point or an honest place. Even though he loves sailing, I thought they were often separated for 3 years, but I wonder if that is also Minato's personality. Minato's grandpa and Wataru's parents are nice people, so both of them can be happy.

余裕ある大人向けBLの気がします

I feel like it's a BL for adults with plenty of room

きっと、もっと大人になったら感じ方が変わるかもしれません。二人の恋愛というより、人と人の関係性、わかり合うことの大切さがテーマだったように感じました。なので、対話が多い本作なのではと思います。なかなか首を縦に振らない航くん。航くんを尊重してタイミングを図る湊くん。えーなんでよーと普通のBLとは少し違った展開に、初めは面食らったけど、人との大切な関係性とか、関係の変化を恐れることとか、人の本質を学んだ気がする。今だけじゃなくて未来もしっかり見てるからこその行動なんだろうな。少々葛藤が長いので、甘々が好きな人は向かないかもだけど、二人の対話を見届けて欲しい。でももうちょい甘さが欲しかったので星4にしました。ストーリー◯心理描写◎画力◯キャラ◎ちょっと不思議くんな湊くんがかわいい。いつも相手を尊重する良い子なんです。エロ…ナシ。

I'm sure the way I feel will change when I become more of an adult. Rather than a love affair between two people, I felt that the theme was relationships between people and the importance of understanding each other. So I think this work has a lot of dialogue. Wataru-kun doesn't shake his head very much. Minato respects Wataru and plans the timing. Well why, I was taken aback at first by the slightly different development from normal BL, but I feel like I learned the nature of people, such as important relationships with people and the fear of changes in relationships. I wonder if they are acting only because they are looking closely at the future, not just now. The conflict has been a bit long, so people who like sweetness may not be suitable, but I want them to watch the conversation between the two. But I wanted a little more sweetness, so I gave it 4 stars. Story ◯ psychological depiction ◎ drawing power ◯ character ◎ Minato-kun, who is a little mysterious, is cute. He's a good kid who always respects his partner. erotic... nothing.

なんだか

Somehow

終始ニンマリしてしまう作品でした。DKから社会人までの軌跡。ラブコメのようなノリでテンポ良く話が進むけど、肝心なとこはままならない。そのジレンマが切なさに変わってちょっと辛くなったり。思考をコトバにするのが苦手な人もたくさんいると思う。攻めはきっとそんな子なんだろうなぁと、愛しく思いました。タイトルで分かる通り、ハピエンではあるけどエッチはなくキス止まり。それでもこの2人ならそんな感じかなぁと納得。できれば続編でイチャラブ見れたら嬉しいなぁ。

It was a work that made me cringe from beginning to end. The trajectory from DK to working adults. It's like a romantic comedy and the story progresses at a good tempo, but it doesn't stick to the point. That dilemma turned to sadness, and it became a bit difficult. I think there are many people who are not good at putting their thoughts into words. I loved that Attacker must be that kind of kid. As you can see from the title, even though they're happy, they don't have any sex and they just stopped kissing. Still, I'm convinced these two would be like that. If possible, I'd be happy if I could watch Icharab in the sequel.

写真がつなぐ

Photos connect

好きだけど親友のままでいるほうが別れがこないと思う湊の気持ちはわかる。それでも、一度離れて、二度と離れたくないと思う航が、湊に伝える言葉がジンときた。二人を繋いだ写真もよく絡んでいて、いいお話。航のじいちゃんばあちゃん、湊の両親、の支えも温かくてふたりが魅力的な理由がわかる。幼稚園児アニキくんのことばにも、泣き笑いした。ぜひ続刊を！

I understand Minato's feelings about liking her but thinking she won't break up if she remains her best friend. Even so, the words Wataru, who once left and never wanted to leave again, struck a chord with Minato. The photos connecting the two are also often intertwined, so it's a great story. The support from Wataru's grandpa and Minato's parents is also warm, and I understand why they are attractive. I also cried and laughed at the words of kindergarten kid Aniki-kun. Be sure to continue the publication!

照れ顔がかわいい

A shy face is cute

ムッとしてなかったのか！照れだったのか！どっちもかわいいからいいや！両片思いの口下手さん2人だからジレジレしつつ安心安心。上手く伝えられない湊が頑張ってリードするんですね、なんだか意外ですがやっぱこっちが攻めかな？この2人どっちもありかもなーと思ったらいたす続編が見たくなった?

weren't you in a hurry! were you embarrassed! They're both cute, so that's fine! There are 2 bad talkers with unrequited love, so it's safe and secure while being nervous. Minato, who can't communicate well, does his best and takes the lead, which is somewhat surprising, but I wonder if this one will attack after all? When I thought both of these two might exist, did I really want to watch the sequel?

From best friend to lover

This review contains spoilers. 作者買いです！長年の親友への想いがお互いに特別な好きに変わっているのに、未来の保証のない恋人より、居心地の良い親友の関係を手放したくない受け。そんな受けをあれやこれやで攻略して恋人になるまでのお話でした！二人のその後ももう少し読みたいので、続きを待ちたいとおもいます！

This review contains spoilers. I'm buying the author! Even though their feelings for their long-time best friend have changed to a special love for each other, they don't want to let go of their cozy best friend relationship rather than lovers with no guarantee of a future. It was a story about how they conquered that kind of reception and became lovers! I want to read a little more after the two of them, so I think I want to wait for more!

隠せない気持ち

Feelings you can't hide

This review contains spoilers. 高校生の時に「写真」を通して親しくなり、一緒に暮らしていた大学生時代を経て、離れ離れになっていた湊と航。一言でいうと両片思いなんだけど、この２人兎に角めんどくせーです。感情を出すのが苦手な湊は何考えてんのかわからないし、航は頑なに「友達」にこだわるし…湊が頑張ったね。彼の押しが無ければ進展はなかった。結果的に写真には気持ちがだだ漏れだったということでしょう。「うん」て言うまで何日かの表示があるので安心して読めます（笑）会話劇としてのキャラクターのやり取りが面白くて温かくて、それぞれに愛嬌があって…作家様のセンス好きです。アニキ…

This review contains spoilers. Minato and Wataru became close friends through “photographs” when they were high school students, and after their college days where they lived together, they were separated. In a nutshell, it's both unrequited love, but these two rabbits are having trouble with their horns. Minato, who isn't good at showing emotions, doesn't know what he's thinking, and Wataru is stubbornly particular about his “friends”... Minato did his best. Without his push, no progress would have been made. As a result, I guess my feelings were out of place in the photo. There is an indication of how many days until you say “yeah,” so you can read it with peace of mind (laughs) The exchange of characters as a conversation drama is interesting and warm, and each has its own charm... I like the writer's sense. aniki...
