爽やか

Refreshing

失恋したばかりの葵とバーテンダーの健吾お話。悪酔いしたのをきっかけに距離が縮まりお付き合いが始まるストーリーは、ベタといえばベタだけど、自然で穏やかな展開で、甘やかされる葵くんが可愛いし、幸せのお裾分けをされたように満たされた気分になれます。

A story about Aoi, who has just been heartbroken, and Kengo, the bartender. The story where the distance shrinks and a relationship begins when they get sick is solid, but the development is natural and peaceful, and Aoi-kun, who is being pampered, is cute, and you can feel satisfied as if you were shared with happiness.

好きなCP

Favorite CP

受けのダメダメ具合と一見優しそうだけどちょっとＳっ気が見え隠れするような攻めのCP好きです。この先の展開が凄く楽しみです。

I like the poor reception and the aggressive CP that seems kind at first glance but hides a little bit of smack. I'm really looking forward to future developments.

コレ、面白い‼

This is interesting ‼

始まりはよくあるストーリーだけどバーテンダーの健吾が登場してからガラッと変わった！この人のはなすことや考えがすごく面白い！！葵との会話もとてもわたしの好きな感じで評価がもっと高くてもいいのに…３話で終わりじゃないよね？面白い健吾、葵のやりとりやバーのオーナーとの絡みをもっと見てみたい?

The beginning is a common story, but it changed drastically after the bartender Kengo appeared! This person's actions and thoughts are so interesting!! The conversation with Aoi is also something I really like, and it would be nice if the ratings were even higher... it doesn't end with episode 3, right? Want to see more interesting interactions between Kengo and Aoi and their entanglements with bar owners?

しんどい話が苦手な人には良いと思う

I think it's good for people who don't like tough stories

寂しそうな主人公（受）と冷静なんだけど意外と束縛タイプの攻めの淡々としているんだけど妙に甘いお話でした。辛い時とか、きついのを読んだ後に口直しにすごく良い気がする…。絵柄もあいまって両方共普通の男の人というか、モブ感があるのは個人的には結構好きです。居そうな感じがいい。

It was a strangely sweet story with a lonesome protagonist (receiving) and a calm but surprisingly restrained type of attack. I feel like it's really good for refreshing after reading Hard Times or Tough... I personally like the fact that both of them are normal men, or rather, they have a mobbed feel, due to the pattern. It's nice to feel like I'm here.

作画家さんのテイスト

Artist's taste

作画家さんが別の人だったら全く違う雰囲気になったであろうストーリー。この作家さんは絵も表現も淡々としていておとなしいタイプ。そのせいか、バーテンダーがこれまで様々な客を相手にしてきて、ある種達観した部分があるって感じが良かったです。ただ、アップが少なすぎることと、どのコマも何かしらバックに描き込んでいて、話の勢いを止めてしまっています。描き込むのが好きな方だというのはわかるけれど、もう少しすっきりした画面のほうが見やすいかと。

The story would have had a completely different atmosphere if the artist were a different person. This artist is a quiet type with simple pictures and expressions. Probably because of that, bartenders have dealt with a variety of customers so far, and it was nice to feel that there was a part where they had a certain kind of perspective. However, the fact that there are too few uploads and that every frame has something drawn in the background has stopped the momentum of the story. I know they like drawing, but I think a cleaner screen would be easier to see.

案外、ほのぼの系でした

Surprisingly, it was a heartwarming type

表紙から、大人の駆け引き的なお話かと思いきや。案外、ほのぼの(当社比)とお話が進んでいきました。受けの見た目が幼く見えすぎて、ちょっと違和感があったのは否めないけど。

From the cover, I thought it was an adult bargaining story. Surprisingly, the conversation progressed heartwarming (compared to our company). I can't deny that the recipient looked too young, and there was a slight sense of incongruity.

あたたかい?

is it warm?

心がぬくぬくするお話でした? 絵は嫌な感じじゃないんだけど、最初主人公の葵もバーテンダーの健吾も、あまりかっこよくは感じられず・・・だから読むのどうしようかな～と思ったけれど、読んだら心がほっこりしました?

was this a heart-warming story? The picture isn't disgusting, but at first, both the main character, Aoi, and the bartender Kengo didn't feel very cool... so I thought how to read it, but it made my heart feel relieved when I read it?

食えない健吾さん

Kengo can't eat

出会う時には出会うんだなぁ。仕掛けたのは葵さんだけど、健吾さんに淡々と迫られて口説かれて、胃袋も肝臓もつかまれちゃって羨ましい限り（笑）3巻でおしまいですか？もっと続きが読みたいです！

When we meet, we meet. It was Aoi-san who set it up, but they were casually pressured by Kengo, and they got caught in my stomach and liver, so long as I'm envious (lol) is that enough for volume 3? I want to read more!

最悪な出会いから始まったキュンラブ

Kyun Love Began with the Worst Encounter

出会いは最悪だったけど、なんだかんだでナイスＣＰですね！バーマス健吾の、卒の無い身のこなしと意外と嫉妬深いところが、案外葵に合ってるのかも♪とウキウキしながら読んでました(^^)クールな表情に隠された、葵への愛が垣間見える夜の営みが堪らない！！むしろ健吾のほうが葵を好きなのかもって思う位愛されて、ようやく愛のあるセ◯クスで心も身体も満たされて幸せになれて良かった！！ホロっと切ないステキな作品でした。

The encounter was terrible, but somehow it was a nice CP! I was excited to read Kengo Barmouth's selfless demeanor and surprisingly jealous character ♪ (^^) The night activities hidden in his cool expression, where you can catch a glimpse of his love for Aoi are unbearable!! Rather, Kengo was loved so much that I thought maybe he liked Aoi, and I'm glad that my mind and body were finally filled with love and happy!! It was such a wonderful, sad work.

Bar BL

Bar BL

絵柄はシンプル大人系。エロは控えめ。同僚に失恋した主人公とバーテンの恋愛話。会話がぽんぽん出て、淡々と話が進む。淡白に見えるバーテンダー側から口説き始めたところはキュンときた。

The pattern is simple, adult. Eroticism is modest. A love story between the main character and a bartender who is heartbroken by a colleague. The conversation pops up, and the conversation progresses bluntly. When I started wooing from the bartender, who seemed bland, I was amazed.

この状況では！

in this situation!

This review contains spoilers. 失恋したのに友人のまま結婚式にまでお呼ばれして祝ってあげて最悪ーーな状況では聞き上手な優しいバーテンダーにゴッソリ持ってかれちゃうわね。ダメな子ほど可愛いと甘やかされて実はヤキモチやきで緩いお仕置きもエッセンスにイイ恋愛出来て良かった。

This review contains spoilers. Even though I'm heartbroken, I was invited to the wedding as a friend to celebrate, and in the worst situation, I was taken away by a kind bartender who is a good listener. Bad kids are cute and spoiled, and in fact, it was nice to be able to have a good love affair with the essence even with a grumpy, laid-back punishment.

I love sweet things like this (o^^o) Contrary to the cool and indifferent impression of attacking, they are actually doting people and love it. I'm happy to read it, and I'm looking forward to the continuation.

淡々と。

bluntly.

This review contains spoilers. 燃えるような恋愛ではなく、ただ淡々と恋が進んで行くお話だなぁと思いました。バーテンさん、優しいふりして地味にエゲツナイとゆうか、あざといかなぁーなんて。甘やかすといいつつ、焦らしてるのかなと(苦笑)

This review contains spoilers. It wasn't a fiery romance, I thought it was just a story where love progresses indefinitely. The bartender pretended to be kind and soberly said that he was being playful. I wonder if they're impatient when it comes to pampering them (bitter laugh)

デキルバーテン彼氏ってイイ

Is Dekilbarten a good boyfriend

攻めのバーテンさんが淡々と（見える感じで）口説いてるのが素敵です。受けの子も「ダメな子」とか言われてもめげない可愛い男性なので、ほのぼのカップルでした。気楽な話を読みたい時にいいかも。

It's wonderful that the aggressive bartender is casually (as if you can see) wooing you. They were a heartwarming couple because they were cute men who wouldn't give up even when they were called “bad kids.” Maybe it's good when you want to read a light-hearted story.

絵柄と内容が丁寧

The design and content are careful

This review contains spoilers. 主人公の失恋から始まるお話は結構多い気がしますが、このお話は淡々と描かれていて、逆に切なく感じました。最近はBLにエロばかり求めていたのですが、この漫画を読んで初心に帰るというか、やっぱりBL好きだなと、勝手に再確認してしまいました。

This review contains spoilers. I feel like there are quite a few stories that begin with the main character's heartbreak, but this story was drawn bluntly, and on the contrary, I felt sad. Recently, I've only been looking for eroticism in BL, but after reading this comic, I went back to the beginning, and I reconfirmed that I like BL after all.

バーテンダーと客のいつもの感じ

The usual feeling of the bartender and the customer

ではなかったです。オトナな恋愛。じわじわと2人の距離が縮まって、アレの最中のやり取りもじわじわと・・・エロいです。けっこう好きでした。

It wasn't. adult romance. The distance between the two gradually shrinks, and the interaction during that is also slowly... erotic. I liked it quite a bit.
