後半になるほど面白い

The more interesting it is in the second half

This review contains spoilers. 初手はわりにあるあるだと見ていたのですが　いや、中盤あたりまでもわりにあるある　それでも絵はいいしあるある好きにはハマる内容　けど、3巻くらいで終わってもいい話じゃない？と思っていたのに　まさかの展開に！さらにこれってまさか、、、？な　ほのぼのネタな中にブッ込まれてきて！絵でしかわからないだろう漫画化ならではなとこもあったりで！！！作画さんの描くふんわりかわいい絵からは想像つかないサイコパスな場面も面白さに拍車がかかり　次は王都決戦！？とか思うと　もうもう待ちきれない！

This review contains spoilers. I was watching Hatsute Wari wa Aru da, but even though it's still around the middle, the picture is good and the content is addictive for Aru Aru likes, but isn't it a good story that ends after about 3 volumes? I thought so, but it just unexpectedly unfolded! Furthermore, is this impossible...? Burn in a heartwarming story! There are also things unique to comic adaptations that can only be understood through pictures!! The psychopath scene, which can't be imagined from the fluffy and cute pictures drawn by the artist, was spurred by fun, and the next one is Battle for the King!? When I think about that, I can't wait anymore!

やさしくてやさしくてやさしいジーン様と聡明でやさしくて真の愛情を秘めたクラリス。二人が美しくて尊くて愛さずにはいられません。ジーン様の揺るがぬ大きな大きな愛とクラリスの深く静かな慕情に感動しています。どうかずっと幸せであってほしいです。メアリーさんもシドさんも二人に関わる人々もみんなみんな幸せになってほしいです。本当に素敵な物語をありがとうございます。作品の美しさに感涙しております。

Gene, who is kind, and kind, and Clarice is intelligent, kind, and has true love. They are so beautiful and precious that I can't help but love them. I am moved by Jean's unwavering love and Claris' deep and quiet affection. I want them to stay happy all the time. I want Mary, Sid, and everyone involved in the two to be happy. Thank you so much for such a wonderful story. I'm moved to tears by the beauty of the work.

凄く良い！

Very good!

This review contains spoilers. めーちゃ好きなお話です。ヒロインが真面目で勤勉なのも好感が持てますし、ジーンがちゃんとクラリスに惹かれて結婚を申し込んでいたところも凄く良かった！家では姉ばかり可愛がられていて〜って言う歪みの真相もスパイスが効いていましたね〜。あと、ジーンが前髪を下ろしたところめちゃくちゃカッコ良いのでそこも見どころです！

This review contains spoilers. It's a story I really like. I also like that the heroine is serious and hardworking, and it was also really nice that Gene was really attracted to Clarice and applied for marriage! The truth about the distortion that only older sisters are loved at home was also spiced up, wasn't it? Also, when Jean pulls her bangs down, it's insanely cool, so that's another highlight!

一ノ瀬かおるさんの作画が好き！

I like Kaoru Ichinose's drawings!

一ノ瀬さんはハーレクインコミカライズから知ったベテランの漫画家さんです。原作がある場合は画風を作品に寄せて描かれていると感じます。過去に青年系の漫画なども描かれていますが、一貫して変わらないのは背景やキャラクターの表情の豊かさ。キャラは目力に加え、全身と背景で感情を表現。背景はまるで音楽が奏でられているように見えます。というわけで、この作品を見つけたとき、絵柄が違う！！と驚きつつ、ポチリと購入。やっぱり一ノ瀬さんだ。物語を確かなデッサンと画角、丁寧な作画で魅せています。健気なヒロインとヒーローのやり取りが微笑ましい。そして、何より悪役？ヒロイン姉の描き方は一ノ瀬さんだからこそのスゴミがあります。ヒロイン姉と１８０度ちがうヒロインがヒーローの下で自信を積み上げ幸せの階段を１歩づつ登っていく。そして、壊れていくヒロイン姉がどうなっていくのか。双方、育てられ方が普通であれば仲の良い姉妹になったのではとも思うのでした《2026年2月記》とにかく、読んだらすぐに次が読みたくなる作品です。

Ichinose is a veteran manga artist I know from Harlequin Comicalize. If there is an original work, I feel that the style of painting is drawn in line with the work. Youth comics have also been drawn in the past, but what hasn't changed consistently is the richness of the backgrounds and expressions of the characters. In addition to eyesight, characters express emotions with their whole body and background. The background looks like music is playing. So, when I found this work, the design was different!! Surprised, I made a quick purchase. After all, it's Ichinose. The story is fascinating with its solid drawing, angle of view, and careful drawing. The interaction between the healthy heroine and the hero makes me smile. And above all, villains? There is an amazing way to draw the heroine sister because she is Ichinose. The heroine, who is 180 degrees different from the heroine's older sister, builds up confidence under her hero and climbs the stairs of happiness one step at a time. And what happens to the heroine's sister, who is breaking down? I also thought they would have become close sisters if they were raised normally. “2026/2 Chronicle,” anyway, it's a work that makes you want to read the next one as soon as you read it.

私の心の道しるべです！！

It's a guide for my heart!!

私がネットの漫画にハマったきっかけがこの作品でした。キリリとしたジーン様。心が清らかなのに虐げられてきたクラリス。この二人の主人公たちが周囲の人々を巻き込みつつ、それまでの辛い人生を跳ね返すかのように強く前進していきます。とても丁寧で魅力的なエピソード満載に描かれています。人間の真の姿をも描いてくれているように感じるのは、美しく優しいエピソードだけでなく、闇の深い部分を的確に描いてあることが大きいと思います。それまで栄華を誇ってきた者ではなく、愛と真心で向き合ってきた人々に光があること。他の作品の受け売りかもですが、運命って帳尻が合うようにできてるーーーといいなぁ。心から、この不器用で優しい辺境伯と、優しく清らかな魂のクラリスが幸せになってくれますように、と祈るばかりです。

It was this work that made me addicted to online comics. Gene was flabbergasted. Clarice has been oppressed even though her heart is pure. While involving the people around them, these two protagonists move forward strongly as if bouncing back on their difficult lives up until then. It is drawn full of very careful and fascinating episodes. The reason I feel that it also depicts the true form of a human being is not only a beautiful and gentle episode, but I think the main thing is that it accurately depicts deep parts of darkness. There is light not for those who have been proud of their prosperity until then, but for those who have faced each other with love and sincerity. Other works may be sold, but it would be nice if fate was made so that the balance of accounts was right. From the bottom of my heart, I just pray that this clumsy and kind frontier man and Clarice, who has a kind and pure soul, will be happy.

スッキリしました

I felt refreshed

ざまぁで痛快物をお探しの方におすすめですストーリー展開が良かったです。絵は少し癖がありますが、ストーリーに合った作画で良かったです

I recommend it to those looking for something exciting at Zama. The story development was great. The picture has a bit of a habit, but I'm glad the drawing matches the story

素敵な二人です

They are two wonderful people

This review contains spoilers. ずっと気になっててSALEになってたので、即購入。トラウマを抱えながらも優しく健気で前向きに頑張るヒロイン・クラリス。そんなクラリスを受け止め不器用だけど優しいジーン様。お互いに寄り添い合う二人が本当に素敵です。そんな二人を温かく見守る周りの人達もすごく良い。クラリスのトラウマの原因の家族のざまぁシーンはスカッとするけど、よく考えたら1番の諸悪の根源って母親じゃない？なのに自分も被害者ですみたいな感じで何かモヤっとする。その後家族がどうなったのか、今後詳しく描かれるのか気になります。何があってもジーン様がクラリスを守ってくれるだろうけど‥‥。誤解も解けて真に愛し合う二人のこれからが楽しみです。

This review contains spoilers. I've always been interested in it and it was on sale, so I bought it right away. Despite being traumatized, the heroine Clarice works hard in a gentle, healthy, and positive manner. Gene is a clumsy yet kind person who takes Clarice like that. These two people are really nice when they are snuggling up to each other. The people around them who warmly watch over these two people are also very nice. The family scene that causes Clarice's trauma is shocking, but if you think about it carefully, isn't her mother the number one root of all evils? But I feel like I'm also a victim, and I'm confused about something. I'm curious about what happened to the family after that, and whether it will be depicted in detail in the future. No matter what happens, Gene will protect Clarice, but... I'm looking forward to the future when the misunderstandings have been resolved and the two are truly in love with each other.

素敵なお話。

A wonderful story.

This review contains spoilers. 最新巻まで読みました！読めば読むほどこの物語の世界観にハマります！クラリス様も可愛いし、ジーン様の不器用な愛情もたまらんです。姉はかなり性格ネジ曲がってますが。クラリスが姉の呪縛から早く解放されると良いのですが。これから、メイドちゃんの恋愛も気になるところです。

This review contains spoilers. I've read the latest volume! The more I read, the more I became addicted to the world view of this story! Clarice is cute, and Gene's clumsy love is unbearable. My older sister has a pretty crooked personality, though. It would be nice if Clarice was freed from her sister's spell as soon as possible. From now on, I'm also worried about the maid's love affair.

It's still going on!

前の刊でメインの問題は解決したので、このまま終わりに向かうかと思っていたけど、次のフラグがちらほらと。言葉を尽くしてコミュニケーションをはかる2人のほんわかした雰囲気に癒されつつ、次はどうなるか楽しみが出てきました。

The main problem was solved in the previous issue, so I was wondering if it would end like this, but the next flag is here and there. While being healed by the warm, fuzzy atmosphere between the two, who tried to communicate with each other, I was excited to see what would happen next.

可愛いしかっこいいし

It's cute and cool

姉の身代わりに恐ろしいと噂される辺境伯に嫁いだら、不器用で無表情なだけの思いやりのある人だった。実家が辛かっただけにきちんと大事にしてくれる人で良かった。

When she married a frontier Haku who is rumored to be fearsome in place of her older sister, she was a compassionate person who was just clumsy and expressionless. I'm glad he was someone who took good care of me just because my parents' house was difficult.

ほんわかして幸せな気持ちになれます

It makes me feel warm and happy

This review contains spoilers. 一生懸命で可愛らしい、いじらしいヒロインにメロメロです。めちゃくちゃ愛らしい…そりゃジーン様も溺愛しますよね！ジーン様の表情筋はあまり活躍しないので感情が分かりにくいですが、きちんと思いを言葉で伝えてくれて、尚且つ態度に表してくれるので、好きでいてくれてるんだなと分かってほっこりします。ヒロインの実家が残念な方ばかりで途中までは胸糞ですが、序盤でスッキリさせてくれるのでとても助かりました。ずっとストレス抱えて読むのはしんどい。実家とのアレコレは片付いても、ヒロインの心の中に根付いてる胸糞幻影がたまに顔を出してきます…しかし、過去に囚われず前を向こうとするヒロインに読んでるこっちもガンバレ！と応援したくなる素晴らしい描写とストーリーです。絵も丁寧で繊細な雰囲気で、このお話に合っていて素敵だなと思いました。ザマァ展開だけじゃなく、ゆっくりを愛を育んでいく2人を見守る(メイドちゃんもちょっと気になる)素晴らしい作品です。

This review contains spoilers. I'm fascinated by the hardworking, cute, and messy heroine. It's insanely adorable... well, Gene will love it too! Gene's facial muscles aren't very active, so it's hard to understand her emotions, but she properly conveys her thoughts in words, and she also expresses them in her attitude, so I'm relieved to know that she likes her. The heroine's parents' house was full of disappointments, and it was heartbreaking until halfway through, but they made me feel refreshed in the early stages, so it was a great help. It's hard to read after being stressed all the time. Even after cleaning up the mess with her parents' house, the heart-shattering illusion that is rooted in the heroine's heart comes out once in a while... However, reading this one to the heroine who is not bound by the past and tries to look ahead is great too! It's a wonderful depiction and story that makes you want to cheer for it. The pictures are also careful and have a delicate atmosphere, and I thought it was wonderful to match this story. It's a wonderful work that not only unfolds, but also watches over two people who slowly develop love (I'm also a little worried about the maid).

ストーリーがしっかりしてます！

The story is solid!

ヒロインが不器用でとにかく焦れったい！！！ですがストレスなく読めてしまうのはストーリーがよく練られているからだと思います。

The heroine is clumsy and just so impatient!!! However, I think the reason I can read it without stress is because the story is well-designed.

This review contains spoilers. 追記ついに5巻が出たー！めちゃくちゃ待ってました！そして早く6巻が読みたい！楽しみ過ぎる！5巻読んだ直後で大興奮です。まず絵が美しいです。そしてジーン様が見た目も素晴らしく、人格も素晴らしくて言うこと無し！久しぶりに漫画でカッコいい！と思える登場人物に出会えました。見た目が甘すぎなくて、目の描き方が本当にカッコよくて好きすぎます。そしてクラリスもジーン様に見合うだけの素晴らしい性格と可愛らしい見た目。1巻のクラリスの不安な心情が、よりジーン様と出会えて良かったねと応援したくなります。新刊を楽しみにしてます！

This review contains spoilers. Postscript Volume 5 is finally out! I've been waiting so long! And I want to read volume 6 soon! I'm having too much fun! I was so excited right after reading volume 5. First of all, the picture is beautiful. Also, Gene looks great and has such a great personality that I have nothing to say! It's been a while and it's a cool comic! I was able to meet characters that seemed like that. It doesn't look too sweet, and the way the eyes are drawn is really cool and I like it too much. Also, Clarice has a wonderful personality and a cute appearance worthy of Gene. Claris' uneasy feelings in volume 1 make me want to cheer for her, saying that it was good to have met Gene even more. I'm looking forward to the new publication!

素敵なカップル

lovely couple

This review contains spoilers. 身代わり系ですが、ヒーローは最初から望んでヒロインを選ぶが、不器用？ゆえ、少し誤解ができるがヒロインが素直な性格なので気持ちを歪めたりしないのが良い！そしてあの姉がエグい…亡霊の様にヒロインのトラウマになる。毒父のせいで振り回された家族ですが、保身に走った母の事もちゃんと伝えたヒーローは流石です。メイドちゃんも可愛い❨ヒロインにメイドちゃんがいて良かった〜他は同行する侍女もいないし❩ヒロインも清楚で努力家、ヒーローは仕事でき領民思い。最高じゃん！続きあるのかな〜イチャイチャとヒーローがデレるの見たい。

This review contains spoilers. It's a replacement type, but the hero chooses the heroine they want from the beginning, but are they clumsy? Therefore, there may be a slight misunderstanding, but since the heroine has an honest personality, it's good not to distort your feelings! And that older sister is bad... it traumatizes the heroine like a ghost. The family was swayed by their toxic father, but the hero who properly told them about her mother, who ran to save herself, is amazing. The maid is cute too ❨ I'm glad there is a maid as the heroine ~ there are no other handmaids to accompany her ❩ the heroine is also neat and hard working, and the hero is able to work and is very popular. that's awesome! I wonder if there's a continuation ~ I want to see Flirt and Hero Deletion.

あーかっこいい

Ahhh that's cool

ジーン様が本当にかっこよくて大好きです。男っぽい男が好きなので見た目も性格も理想的です。ストーリーは、登場人物の心の移ろいや性格や魅力がちゃんと伝わってくるのがすばらしいです。絵には陰影が多く使われているのですが、このお話の精神的な光と影の雰囲気にとっても合っていると思います。こんなに眩しく描けるとは、技術がすごいのですね。細かい仕草にもキュンキュンします。体の角度とかいちいち素敵で、じっくり見ちゃいます。現時点４巻までのところでは、体をねじりながらのチューとかジーン様の大きな背中とかチューしながらしゃがみ込むところとか最高でした。これからも楽しみにしています。

I love Gene because she's really cool. I like manly guys, so their appearance and personality are ideal. The story is wonderful that the characters change their minds, personalities, and charms are properly conveyed. There are a lot of shadows used in the picture, and I think it fits the mental light and shadow atmosphere of this story. The technique is amazing to be able to draw so brightly. It makes me cringe even when it comes to small gestures. Every angle of the body is wonderful, and I take a close look. Up to volume 4 so far, things like bowing while twisting the body or crouching while tugging on Gene's big back were awesome. I'm looking forward to it from now on.

This review contains spoilers. Claris' older sister Matilda's value was what is called “product value.” Her father, who isn't related by blood, is creepy, and her mother, who doesn't say anything, tells Clarice to live her own life, but now? Are you saying it now? I'm so confused, at the end of the day, Matilda beats up her father, and it's a horrible family, I want Clarice to be happier than anyone else at any cost, but I wonder if Mary and Sid have a premonition about koi too?

コミカライズならでは

Unique to Comicalize

原作小説も読んでいたのですが今巻は特にコミカライズならではの演出が素晴らしかったです。夜会でのマチルダとのシーンは素晴らしかったです。これぞ漫画で読む甲斐が有るという感じ。クラリスについてまわるマチルダの幻影も上手いです。だんだん距離が近くなっていくクラリスとジーン様の表情もとても繊細で漫画が上手いなあ！と素直に思います。続きも楽しみ。

I was also reading the original novel, and the production unique to Comicalize was particularly wonderful in this volume. The scene with Matilda at the evening party was amazing. I feel like this is worth reading in comics. The illusion of Matilda following Clarice is also good. The expressions of Clarice and Gene, who are getting closer and closer, are also very delicate, and they are good at comics! I honestly think so. I'm looking forward to the continuation.

This review contains spoilers. 家族にひどい扱いを受けて身代わりで嫁いだと思って胸を痛めるクラリス。でもジーン様は最初からクラリスを望んでいたのを知れて良かった。実家が特に父親が最悪です。娘たちを守らなかった母親も悪いけど、こんな夫では聞く耳持たんだろう。姉があんななのも父親のせいだろうし…これからクラリスは暖かい人たちに囲まれて幸せになってほしいです。メイドちゃんことメアリーも使用人というより姉か友人のように見守っていてくれて心強いです。

This review contains spoilers. Clarice is heartbroken because she was treated so badly by her family that she thought she got married in her place. But it was nice to know that Gene wanted Clarice from the beginning. My father is particularly bad at my parents' house. It's also bad for mothers who didn't protect their daughters, but a husband like this probably wouldn't have heard of it. It's probably her father's fault that my sister is like that... I want Clarice to be happy to be surrounded by warm people from now on. It's reassuring that Mary, the maid, is also watching over her older sister or friend rather than a servant.
