コロナ禍での恋愛ストーリー

Romance stories during the COVID-19 pandemic

『あせとせっけん』が好きで購入しました。1巻完結で読みやすそうと思い、仕事の休憩時間に購入したのですが、想像を上回る面白さで没入してしまいました。積極的で艶かしいヒロインに私自身もドキドキしながら拝読しました。残のお堅い語り口調も癖になり、文字という文字を隅々まで読ませていただきました。充実したお昼休憩でした。ありがとうございます。

I bought “Heatto Soap” because I liked it. I thought volume 1 was complete and would be easy to read, so I bought it during a break from work, but I was so immersed in it that it was more fun than I had imagined. I myself read it with excitement because of the aggressive and charming heroine. The strong tone of speech left behind also became a habit, and I was able to read every corner of the character called letters. It was a great lunch break. Thank you very much.

コロナ禍の恋愛

Romance during the COVID-19 pandemic

あせとせっけんが好きでこちらも読みましたが、こちらの方が更に私の好みかもしれません。コロナ禍の落ち着いた大人の恋愛という感じで、残さんの性格が好きです。一巻で完結ですが、話がまとまっていて、味のある作品だなと思いました。

I like heat and soap, and I read this one too, but this one might be even more my favorite. It feels like a calm adult romance due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I like Zansan's personality. It was completed in one volume, but the story was well organized, and I thought it was a tasteful work.

物語の完成度が高くて気持ちいい！

The story has a high degree of perfection and it feels so good!

少女漫画的突飛感はなく、現実味のある緩やかなｽﾄｰﾘｰ展開なのに、１巻完結とは思えない読み応えと、読了後にすっきりした晴れやかな満足感がある。そのせいか、何度もループ読みしてしまう。

There is no sense of outlandish shoujo manga, and even though it is a realistic and gradual story development, there is a reading response that makes you not think volume 1 is complete, and there is a refreshing, radiant sense of satisfaction after reading it. Probably because of that, I read it in a loop over and over again.

もう…最高やん！

That's already... awesome!

コロナ禍の様子がとても分かりやすく、また、コロナであったからこその話がたまらんかった…(笑)残さんもええけど、ナツさん、最高やん！ふたりとも好きなことして楽しく暮らしてほしいわぁ〜?

The state of the COVID-19 pandemic was so easy to understand, and it was also unbearable to talk about it because of COVID-19... (laughs) Zansan is great too, but Natsu is awesome! I want them both to do what they like and enjoy their lives, huh?

何度でも読み返したくなる

I want to reread it over and over

先を読みたい。けれど、読み終わりたくない、ずっと読んでいたいという気持ちになる漫画は久しぶりでした。

I want to read ahead. However, it was a long time since I didn't want to finish reading a comic that made me feel like I wanted to read it all the time.

テレワァク

Telewak

This review contains spoilers. 奈津さんと残くんのお隣さんとしての出会いや会話、恋愛関係に至るまで、仕事の内容やインテリア、気持ちの機微な部分が丁寧に描かれていました。距離感が丁度良いし、駆け引きっぽいこともあまりない、結婚する動機も納得いく感じで押し付けがましくないところも良いです。

This review contains spoilers. The details of the work, interior, and even the delicate parts of the feelings were carefully depicted, from the encounter and conversation between Natsu and Zan-kun as neighbors to their romantic relationship. The sense of distance is just right, there aren't many things that seem like bargaining, and it's also good that the motives for getting married are convincing and not intrusive.

好き！

I like it!

元々この作者さんの絵も大好きですし、正反対の2人がお互いに惹かれていくのがとてもキュンキュンしました！1巻完結なので大きな荒波が立つことはなく、終始平和なので安心して読めました(^^)たまにはハラハラする恋愛漫画もいいですが、幸せそうな2人を見てるのが一番キュンキュンします(^^)

Originally, I loved this artist's paintings, and it was so amazing that these two diametrically opposed people were attracted to each other! Volume 1 is complete, so there are no big rough waves, and it's peaceful from beginning to end, so I was able to read it with peace of mind (^^) Romance comics that are sometimes disturbing are good, but watching two happy people makes me feel the most excited (^^)

コロナ禍を生きた人々の歴史的資料

Historical materials on people who lived through the COVID-19 pandemic

とかになっちゃうかもしれないです、100年後とかに。そして21世紀のいい男といい女の話としても。この芽生えたものが育まれて熟成していく関係性、良いですなぁ。

Maybe it will become something like that, 100 years from now. And also as a story about good men and good women in the 21st century. The relationship where these sprouts are nurtured and matured is good.

ギャップが

The gap

テレワァクの良いところと悪いところと。まあ、何にでも両面はあるもので。せっかく環境を整えたのに（ベランダの懲りよう）しごとはやはり大変で。でも隣には女子大学院生がいて、徐々にお近づきになるところがもうね

What are the good points and bad points of telework. Well, everything has two sides. Even though we did our best to prepare the environment (let's punish the veranda), the work was still difficult. But there's a female graduate student next door, and they're gradually getting closer

この作家さんにハズレなし！

There's nothing wrong with this writer!

あせとせっけんのファンでこちらも拝読。漫画にあまりお金をかけられないながらも、山田先生の作品はやっぱりこの金額以上の価値があったな、買って読んでよかった！！と毎回思っています。いつも笑いながら、泣きながら読見返させてもらっています。続編もこないかなぁ。。昴とかさねも読んでます。応援してます。

I'm a fan of heat soap and read this one too. Even though I can't spend much money on comics, Yamada-sensei's work was worth more than this amount of money after all, so I'm glad I bought it and read it!! I think that every time. I always read it back while laughing and crying. I wonder if there will be a sequel too.. I'm also reading Subaru and Kasane. I'm rooting for you.

会えるのが一番

Being able to meet is the best

This review contains spoilers. 「あせとせっけん」のふたりも良かったけど今作もいいなぁ。残さんのモノローグで淡々と進んでいきますが全然退屈じゃない！あんな距離感で来られたらそりゃ自問自答大会絶賛開催しちゃいますよ！ナツさんのキュートなそばかすも外で発掘作業したりするから日焼けからの～ですよね？設定も細かい。会えるって嬉しい、本当にそうだとコロナ禍を振り返りあらためてそう思いました。

This review contains spoilers. The two of them in “Heat and Soap” were good too, but this one is good too. It progresses slowly with Zan-san's monologue, but it's not boring at all! If you can come with such a sense of distance, then the Ask Yourself Contest will be held with rave reviews! Natsu's cute freckles are also excavated outside, so they're from sunburn, right? The settings are also detailed. I'm happy to meet you, and I thought so again when I looked back on the COVID-19 pandemic.

淡々と積み重なる日常

Everyday life that piles up bluntly

この作者さん特有の、派手さはないけど淡々と心が繋がって行く様子が凄く好き。この作品の彼もだけど作者さんの描く男性キャラ、癒やされるんだよなあ。後半からはトキメキも激増。泣きそうになった。素晴らしい。

I really like this artist's unique way of connecting hearts without being flashy. He is also in this work, but the male characters drawn by the author are soothing, aren't they? The excitement also increased dramatically from the second half. I almost cried. great.

自然であり、お互いの努力でもある。

It's natural, and it's also a mutual effort.

主人公残の、独特の語り口調、独特の思考言動で、お隣さん家との距離が縮まって行く、トキメキもある不思議な恋物語です。非常にっ、ツボりました！！！！！！

It's an exciting and mysterious love story where the distance with the neighbor's house shrinks due to the character's unique tone of speech and unique thoughts and actions. That was a huge pressure point!!!!!

ゆっくりと。

slowly.

This review contains spoilers. とても素敵な話でした。アパートのお隣同士の陽キャな考古学院生女史と社畜SEの恋物語。情熱的な感じではない。でも心の真ん中に確かにある温かい恋の種火を大切に大切に育てて行くような、そんなお話でした。二人はとても爽やかに優しいキスをするのです。それが凄く良い。会える距離。会えない距離。会いに行くということ。他人の2人が家族になるということ。順番に紡いでいく2人の関係がとても温かくて優しくて好きです。穏やかな恋物語がお好きな方、おすすめです。

This review contains spoilers. It was a very nice story. A love story between a hilarious archeological college student next to an apartment and Shazoku SE. It's not a passionate feeling. But it was such a story about carefully nurturing the warm kindling of love that is definitely in the center of my heart. The two give a very refreshing and gentle kiss. That's really good. The distance we can meet. The distance we can't meet. I mean I'm going to see him. It means two other people become a family. I love the relationship between the two, which take turns, because it is so warm and kind. If you like peaceful love stories, I recommend it.

That was fun! Anyway, the main character Mitsuhashi is so good! Of course my partner's girlfriend is good too. It's a nostalgic love story amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which I can sympathize with both of them and make me cringe. This kind of natural couple is nice, isn't it?

キュンキュンしたい人におすすめ！

Recommended for people who want to cheer up!

いつもキュンキュンするおはなしを求めています。今回は「あせとせっけん」の作者さんなら間違いないでしょ！と思い購入。期待どおり、ときめき補給しっかりさせてもらいました！主人公の三橋さんが、見かけによらずやや積極的なところにも、グッときました(お相手の泉さんには大差で負けていますが…笑)。三橋さんが自分の心情を語りながらおはなしが進んでいくので、感情移入しながら読んでいたら、たまらなくキュンキュンしました。。1巻完結なところも良かったですが、もっと読んでいたいー！！とも思っています。

I'm always looking for exciting stories. If you're the author of “Heat Soap” this time, there's no doubt about it! I thought I bought it. As expected, I was able to fully replenish my supply with excitement! I was surprised that the main character, Mitsuhashi-san, was a bit aggressive regardless of how he looked (although he lost to his opponent Izumi by a big margin... lol). The story progresses as Mitsuhashi-san talks about his feelings, so when I was reading it while empathizing, I was irresistibly excited.. It was great that volume 1 was completed, but I want to read more!! I also think so.

よき

Good

主人公のテレワークあるある的な話しが中心かと思って読んでいたら、嬉しはずかし真面目な大人の本気の恋物語でした。余計な伏線も現実離れした展開もなく、静かで微笑ましい、後味の良い漫画でした。

I thought it was centered around a certain story about the main character's telework, and when I was reading it, it was a serious love story of an adult who was happy, ashamed, and serious. It was a quiet, smiling comic with no extra foreshadowing or unrealistic developments.

ホントだった！「超」推し！「超」お薦め！

That was true! “Super” recommendation! “Super” recommended!

実在リアル男性の自伝か？と思うくらい、男性の一人語りが秀逸。心の中がこの漫画のように見えたなら、誤解がもとで別れるカップルは減るのでは？個人的には、あともう1話くらいエピソードを読みたかった！

Is this an autobiography of a real real man? The man's solo narration is so excellent that I think. If the inside of your mind looked like this comic, wouldn't the number of couples breaking up due to misunderstandings will decrease? Personally, I wanted to read about 1 more episode!
