沁みます?

does it sink in?

This review contains spoilers. 何気なく手に取ったのですが、驚くほど良かった、感動しました。ネタバレですが、同時に２人の人間が存在する為、実際には本物のセスの方が表立った事が出来ないと思うのですが、きっとセスにとってはそんなこと些末な事だったでしょう。クリスの元来の優しさ以上にセスの深い愛情がすごいなと、最期の時まで仲良く愛し合って暮らせて良かったです。クローンについて考えるのをすっ飛ばして忘れてしまうほど、２人のお互いへの愛が心に深く沁みる作品でした。これは何度読んでも飽きずに泣いちゃうやつですね。初めましての作家様でしたが、絵も内容も静かで美しい素晴らしい作品をありがとうございました。

This review contains spoilers. I picked it up casually, and it was surprisingly good and I was moved. As a spoiler, since there are 2 people at the same time, I don't think the real Seth can actually stand out, but I'm sure that was trivial for Seth. I'm glad we were able to live together and love each other until the end of our lives, because Seth's deep love was amazing beyond Chris's original kindness. It was a work where their love for each other sank so deeply into my heart that I almost forgot to think about clones. This one makes me cry no matter how many times I read it. Nice to meet you, and thank you for this wonderful work, which is quiet and beautiful in both pictures and content.

ギュッと

Tightly

☆4.5　このページ数でこの満足感！漫画がお上手だなと思いましたね。物足りなさも冗長さもなかった。本当に漫画はページ数が多けりゃいいってもんでは無いと改めて。ネタバレなしで読んでほしいです。

☆ 4.5 I'm so happy with the number of pages! I thought you were good at comics. It wasn't unsatisfactory or lengthy. Once again, really, it's not good if comics have a lot of pages. I want you to read it without spoilers.

あとからどんどんジワジワ来る

Will it get more and more jitty later

報われない片思いがキレイな絵と相まってぎゅーっと切なくなります。物語の雰囲気からしても悲恋かと思い覚悟していたけど、まさかの展開。しかも二度。ハピエンだけどお互いが一生をかけたのが切なすぎる。ここまでの世界観を１巻で収束してるのが見事。欲を言えば二人きりで過ごした日常をもっと見たかった。

An unrequited love combined with a beautiful picture makes me feel so sad. Even from the atmosphere of the story, I was prepared to think that it was a sad love, but it unexpectedly unfolded. Moreover, twice. We're happy, but it's too sad that we spent our whole lives on each other. It's amazing that the world views up to this point have converged in one volume. Speaking of greed, I wanted to see more of the everyday life the two of us spent alone.

完璧なクローン

perfect clone

This review contains spoilers. クローン開発が認められている近未来の世界のお話で、ちょっとゾクッとなりました。自分と全く同じ遺伝子を持つ人がいると思うと怖いなぁ。セスもクリスもお互い必要な存在だけど、気持ちも隠して秘密も隠していて焦ったく切ない。研究施設の雰囲気もドキドキと緊張感あって、あ！っと思わせる流れも面白い。絵も美しく、セスがイケメンで裸体もエロくてカッコよかった。二人一緒に過ごせた長い人生と最後の手紙に涙が出ました。お互いの為に全てを捨てられるほどの愛に、羨ましいなぁと思ってしまいました。

This review contains spoilers. It was a story about a near-future world where clone development is permitted, and I was a little shocked. It's scary to think that there are people with exactly the same genes as me. Both Seth and Chris need each other, but they hide their feelings and keep secrets, so it's impatient and sad. The atmosphere at the research facility was also exciting and tense, ah! The flow that makes you think is also interesting. The picture was beautiful, and Seth was cool because he was handsome and nude was erotic. The long life they were able to spend together and the last letter brought tears to my eyes. I was so envious of their love that they gave up everything for each other.

切ないけどしあわせ

sad but happy

This review contains spoilers. まず気になってしまったのはクリスとクリスティーヌ。被りすぎ…。セスのビジュアルがめちゃくちゃいい。両片思いめちゃくちゃいい。最終的にはおじいさんになるまで一緒に死が2人を分かつまで一緒。BLの理想型。何度も読み返して、涙が出て来た。

This review contains spoilers. The first thing that bothered me was Chris and Christine. I'm wearing too much... Seth's visuals are insanely good. It's so nice to have two unrequited love. They were together until they eventually became grandparents until death divided them. The ideal type of BL. I reread it over and over again, and I burst into tears.

二人の深い愛

Deep love for two

This review contains spoilers. とっても良かったです。クリスはどうしてもセスを諦めきれなかった、その結果自分の技術を駆使してやってはいけないことをしてしまったのですね。そしてセスも・・・いやー互いの愛の深さに感動しました。クリスがクローンの人権を守ろうと戦ったのは自分のしたことに対する責任なのかな、と。そしてセスがクローンでないことに気づいていたとは。。。やっぱり好きな人のことだからわかるんですね。泣けました。

This review contains spoilers. It was really nice. Chris couldn't give up on Seth no matter what, and as a result, he made full use of his skills to do things he shouldn't have done. And Seth was also... well, moved by the depth of their love for each other. I wonder if Chris is responsible for what he did because he fought to protect the clone's human rights. And they noticed that Seth wasn't a clone... After all, it's about someone you like, so you know it. It made me cry.

白でも黒でもない、グレーな幸せ。

Gray happiness that is neither white nor black.

短いお話の中に2人の人間の人生が凝縮されていた気がします。人生に完全な正解はないけれど、選んだ道の中で最大限の幸せを模索していっていった結果のお話だと思いました。メリーバッドエンドではないけれど、決して単純なハッピーエンドとも言えない感じ、とっても好きです。ノスタルジックな美しい景色も相まって、儚く耽美な雰囲気も素敵でした。

I feel that the lives of the two people were condensed into a short story. There is no perfect answer to life, but I thought it was a story about the results of searching for maximum happiness in the path I chose. It's not a merry bad ending, but I really like it because it's definitely not a simple happy ending. Coupled with the beautiful nostalgic scenery, the ephemeral and elegant atmosphere was wonderful.

愛のお話

A story of love

This review contains spoilers. この作者さんの絵柄が好みで、君を管理する～も好きでしたが、また違う作風で驚きました。近未来、クローン研究員の同僚、婚約中×攻め片思い…というか、両片思いの関係。そこにクローン人間、という設定が絡んでくるお話。話は短めながら、2人の互いを思い合う気持ちがラストまで伝わる展開で素敵でした。BLの理想の終わり。

This review contains spoilers. I liked this author's design, and I also liked Managing You, but I was surprised by the different style. In the near future, a colleague who is a clone researcher, engaged x aggressive unrequited love... or rather, a relationship between the two. It's a story where the setting of a human being cloned comes into play. While the story was short, the development conveyed the feelings of the two people caring for each other until the end, and it was wonderful. The ideal end for BL.

クローン人間

Cloned humans

110ページと少ないのですが、内容はぎゅっと詰まった素敵な作品でした。クローン人間を作ることに成功した某国が舞台で、クローン人間を作る研究員のクリスが主人公です。ずっと好きだったセスが結婚すると聞き、表向きは祝福していても、心の中は穏やかではない。セスは親同士が決めたこの結婚をよく思っておらず、婚約者に対する態度も冷たい。これはこの先チャンスがある！絶対ある！！と期待を膨らませながら読み進めました。すると、なんてことでしょう！！詳細は読んでいただいて知ってほしいので伏せますが、すごい事が起きます！！！うわうわうわうわー！！！やば、これはやばいやつだな、と思いながら最後まで読み終え。もっと読みたかった。エロいこともしてほしかった。と思ってしまいました。エロいシーンほぼないので、そこが少し物足りなかったのかなと思います。終始歳を召しておじいさんになったクリスが、隣の家の子供に昔話を語るように自分の話をする、回想で物語が進んでいく内容です。最後の手紙のシーンで、おおっ、、、とぐっときたので、ぜひぜひ読んだみてください！

It's only 110 pages, but it was a wonderful work that was tightly packed with content. It is set in a certain country that has successfully created cloned humans, and Chris, a researcher who creates cloned humans, is the main character. I heard that Seth, whom I've always liked, is getting married, and even though he ostensibly congratulates him, my heart is not at peace. Seth doesn't think well about this marriage, which was decided by his parents, and his attitude towards his fiancee is cold. This has an opportunity in the future! Definitely there is! I read on with high expectations. Then, oh my gosh!! I want you to read and know the details, so I'll hide them, but something amazing is happening!! wow wow!!! Wow, I finished reading it until the end while thinking that this is a terrible thing. I wanted to read more. I wanted them to do erotic things too. It made me think. There are almost no erotic scenes, so I think that was a bit unsatisfactory. Chris, who grew old from beginning to end, talks about himself as if telling an old story to a child in the house next door, and the story progresses through recollection. It was a scene from the last letter, and I was so impressed... so be sure to read it!

考えさせられる…

It makes me think...

110ページとやや短いお話でしたが、いろんな考えさせられる要素が詰まっていました。クリスが自己満のために作ってしまったクローンだけど、結果的にはセスもクリスもクリスティーナも幸せになれたんだな、きっと。そう思いたい。

It was a slightly short story at 110 pages, but it was filled with a lot of thought-provoking elements. It's a clone Chris made for complacency, but I'm sure Seth, Chris, and Christina were happy as a result. I want to think so.

I saw happiness

This review contains spoilers. 気づいてたんだから、本当に幸せだったんですよね？とても綺麗な画で、やったことはいけない事だったのか？わからないですけど、2人は幸せだったし、良かったなーとおじいさんになるまで一緒に過ごせてホッとしました。

This review contains spoilers. You knew it, so you were really happy, right? It was such a beautiful picture, was it something I shouldn't have done? I don't know, but they were happy, and I was relieved to be able to spend time together until they became grandparents.

A story about the near future where it became possible to create perfect cloned humans. Chris and Seth's feelings for each other were so sad that it made me cry. I thought they were both modest and very deeply affectionate. 4.5 stars

美しい物語

A beautiful story

This review contains spoilers. クローンのお話はテーマが重く、終わりも暗い物が多い気がしますが、このお話はそれ以上に美しく愛に溢れていました。きっともっと長いお話だと、もっと深く掘り下げる事ができたように思いますが、この短さだから美しく纏められたのかもしれません。死ネタありですが、とても爽やかな涙になること、間違いなしです！

This review contains spoilers. I feel that many of the clone stories have heavy themes and dark endings, but this story was even more beautiful and full of love. I'm sure it would have been possible to dig deeper if it was a longer story, but maybe it was beautifully put together because of its brevity. There are death stories, but there is no doubt that they will make your tears very refreshing!

幸せとは

What is happiness

This review contains spoilers. 最期までお互いを思い合う、というエンディングがどうにも好きなので刺さりまくりました。クローンに記憶は引き継げないし、遺伝子だけでは全く同じ外見にはならない。コピーの戸籍とか社会保障をどうするのとか(せめて違う名前で生活するとか？)いろいろ引っかかるけど、それを差し引いても、優しくて切なくて素敵な話です。

This review contains spoilers. I really liked the ending where they cared for each other until the end, so it stuck. Memories cannot be carried over to clones, and genes alone do not give the exact same appearance. What to do with a copy of the family register or social security (at least living under a different name?) There are a lot of things that get caught, but even after deducting that, it's a kind, sad, and wonderful story.

切ない

It's sad

まだ実現されてないけれど、昔から話題になるクローンの話。メリバとまではいかないけれど、完全なハッピーエンドとは言い切れない切なさがあります。ラストの出会いのエピソードも素敵でした。

This is a story about clones that haven't been realized yet, but have been talked about for a long time. It doesn't go as far as Meriba, but it's sad that it can't be called a perfect happy ending. The episode of The Last Encounter was also wonderful.

幸せや価値観は人それぞれで、全てを充足するような選択や人生はそもそもないんだろうな…。読後はやや心に痛みを感じましたが静かな幸福感も味わえました。

Everyone has different happiness and values, and I wonder if there is no choice or life that satisfies everything in the first place... I felt a slight pain in my heart after reading it, but I was also able to enjoy a quiet sense of happiness.
