疲れた時に読みたい

I want to read when I'm tired

なんか最近うまくいかないなぁ、もうどっか1人で遠いところ行きたいなと気持ちが下向きの時に読みたい漫画です。そっと背中を押してくれて、自分の優しい世界に気づかせてくれます。

Something hasn't gone well recently, and it's a comic I want to read when my feelings are downward that I want to go far away by myself. It gently pushes my back and makes me notice my kind world.

文句なしで星5

5 stars without complaint

大好きな漫画です。都会で挫折して五島列島に移住した若きイケメン書道家が、田舎の人間関係に揉まれて成長してゆく物語です。近所の子供たちが遠慮なんてあったもんじゃなしにグイグイ距離を詰めてくるんです。勝手に家に上がり込んで溜まり場にしちゃうし(笑)なるちゃん、可愛い、大好き。笑いもあって、時にジーンと胸が熱くなって、泣ける素晴らしい漫画です。

This is my favorite comic. It is a story about a young handsome calligrapher who was frustrated in the city and moved to the Goto Islands, where he grows up after being troubled by human relationships in the countryside. It wasn't that the kids in the neighborhood had any hesitation, but they were closing the distance so fast. They went up to the house without permission and turned it into a hangout (laughs) and Naru-chan is cute, I love her. It's a wonderful comic that also has laughter, sometimes makes my heart heat up, and makes me cry.

凄い！

that's amazing!

もうめちゃくちゃ笑いました。なぜ今まで読まなかったのかと後悔するぐらいでした。ドラマになった話題で読みましたがドラマは見ていません。この絵の雰囲気が絶対に良いと思ったので見なくて正解だと思っていますが

I laughed so much already. I almost regretted why I hadn't read it until now. I read it on a topic that became a drama, but I haven't watched the drama. I thought the atmosphere of this picture was absolutely good, so I think it was correct not to look at it

interesting

のびのびと育っている様がよくわかる。決して馬鹿にしてるわけではなく、読んでいるとのどかな田舎に行きたい気持ちになります。人と人の繋がりが恋しくなるというか…もっと穏やかに過ごしたくなるというか。とにかくキャラクターひとりひとりが魅力的で大好きです。

I can clearly see how they are growing up carefree. I'm not making a fool of myself, and reading it makes me feel like I want to go to the idyllic countryside. It makes me miss the connection between people... or rather, I want to spend a more peaceful time. Anyway, I love each and every one of the characters because they are fascinating.

19巻特に好き

I especially like volume 19

This review contains spoilers. 本当に大好きな作品です。笑いと優しさが詰まった作品。特に19巻日々は本当に最終回の後のそれぞれの日々が描かれているだけなんですが、なぜか涙が出てくる…「夢はこうでなくちゃ」という楽しそうな先生なるひな、「はー、楽しかった」と眠りにつく先生…。島に根を下ろして人との繋がりの中で楽しく生きていくであろう先生に安心するし涙が出る…よかったね先生(;v;)と半田ラブな私にはたまらない締めでした。

This review contains spoilers. I really love this work. A work filled with laughter and kindness. Volume 19, in particular, really only depicts each day after the final episode, but for some reason tears come out... a happy teacher naruhina who says “dreams have to be like this,” and a teacher who falls asleep saying “huh, that was fun”... I'm relieved by the teacher who will take root on the island and live happily in connection with people, and I burst into tears... I'm glad teacher (; v;) and Handa are in love, it was an irresistible closing.

人の温かみ

The warmth of people

ストーリー、キャラクター、会話のテンポ等々凄く良くて何度も読み返してる漫画です。離島の人たちとの人の温かみを感じる交流が素敵で、戸惑いながらも様々なものを吸収していく半田先生が良かったです。キャラクター同士のやり取りのテンポが良く、たくさん笑わせて貰いました。

The story, characters, tempo of conversation, etc. are so good that I reread it over and over again. The interaction with the people on the remote islands, where you can feel the warmth of people, was wonderful, and it was good for Professor Handa, who is confused yet absorbs various things. The tempo of interaction between the characters was good, and it made me laugh a lot.

だいすき！！

I love it!!

この作者さんのマンガがスキでよく読むのですが、ほんとにホッコリするし、時に泣かすし、いつでも読みたくなるマンガです。主役の半田くんが高校生の頃の話を書いた「はんだくん」もぜひあわせて読んで欲しいです。

I often read manga by this author, but it's a manga that really makes me feel relieved, sometimes makes me cry, and I want to read it anytime. I also want you to read “Handa-kun,” where the main character, Handa-kun, wrote a story about when he was in high school.

ただの日常なのに面白い

It's interesting even though it's just everyday life

のびのび育ってる子供達が好きです。風景がきれいだし、田舎のちょっと不便な生活が楽しく、懐かしさを感じます。子供達との交流から村人に存在を認められていく主人公。元々父親が築いた縁はあるでしょうが、移住を計画している人には理想の展開ではないでしょうか。

I like kids who are growing up so carefree. The scenery is beautiful, the slightly inconvenient life in the countryside is fun, and I feel nostalgic. The main character's existence is recognized by villagers through interaction with children. There is probably a relationship that his father originally built, but isn't it an ideal development for people who are planning to emigrate?

ほのぼの！

Heartwarming!

This review contains spoilers. 都会の書道家が田舎に行って頑張る話！いろいろ試行錯誤しやがらも自分の書道の形に向き合う主人公と、主人公に関わる田舎の人々の長閑さがすごくすきです！

This review contains spoilers. A story about an urban calligrapher who goes to the countryside and does her best! I really like the serenity between the protagonist, who faces his own form of calligraphy through various trials and errors, and the rural people involved in the main character!

表現

representations

新たな表現を身に付けるために環境を変えたのに、田舎生活の方に引っ張られちゃってる主人公のモヤモヤが時々垣間見えながらも、読んでる方としてはとても長閑で優しい世界で、ずっとこういうのが続いてほしいって思います。

Even though I changed the environment in order to learn new expressions, even though I sometimes catch a glimpse of the main character, Moya Moya, who is being pulled by people living in the country, it's a very quiet and kind world, and I want this kind of world to continue for a long time.

ほのぼの

Heartwarming

This review contains spoilers. 18巻まで読了。島での暮らしに疲れた心が癒やされます。何十年か後に意外と半田先生は書道家として大成してるのでは？と空想してニヤニヤしてます。ぜひぜひ「はんだくん」と一緒に楽しんでほしい作品です。

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 18 volumes. Your heart will be healed after living on an island. Surprisingly, after a few decades, Handa-sensei will succeed as a calligrapher, isn't he? I'm daydreaming and smirking. I definitely want you to enjoy this work with “Handa-kun.”

大好きな作品。

My favorite work.

若いイケメン書道家の先生が田舎の島で色んなものに触れるお話。島の子供たちが面白可愛く、振り回される主人公がとても面白い！所々で入る真面目な話がとても心揺さぶられます。１度完結しましたが連載再開ということで、今後がとても楽しみです！

A story about a young handsome calligrapher teacher who comes into contact with various things on a rural island. The children on the island are funny and cute, and the main character being swayed around is very interesting! The serious stories that come up here and there are really shaking my heart. It's been completed once, but serialization has resumed, so I'm really looking forward to the future!

若き書道家

Young calligrapher

This review contains spoilers. こちらの作品に関しましてはと言いましたらですと、ドラマ化で話題になっておられるのでどういった作品かは存じ上げております。23歳の若さで数々の賞を獲る書道家の男性が移住した家で隠れていた少女と暮らすことになりという生活漫画です。ふわふわしていていい作品であります。

This review contains spoilers. Speaking of this work, I know what kind of work it is because it has been made into a drama and has become a hot topic. It's a lifestyle comic about a 23-year-old calligrapher man who has won numerous awards and ends up living with a girl who was hiding in a house he immigrated to. It's a nice, fluffy work.

えぇ！？

huh!?

ドラマ化が決まり気になったので今回読みました。ばらかもんというタイトルからは何も想像が出来ていなかったので、どういうお話なんだろうと読むのが楽しみでした！書道が出てくるお話というのは珍しいのですがそれよりギャグが面白すぎて進めない…！ギャグ漫画なのでしょうかこれは！？スピード感のあるストーリーと可愛らしい絵がめちゃくちゃ合ってます！ぜひ読んで欲しいです…！

The drama adaptation was decided and I was curious, so I read it this time. I couldn't imagine anything from the title Barakamon, so I was looking forward to reading it! Stories featuring calligraphy are rare, but more than that, the gag is so interesting that I can't proceed...! I wonder if this is a gag comic!? The speedy story and cute pictures are a perfect match! I definitely want you to read it...!

大好きな作品です

It's my favorite work

先生はもちろん、登場人物みんなが個性的で面白いです。基本的には明るくて楽しいわちゃわちゃしたお話ですが、たまにグッときたり、心に刺さる場面もあり、いつまでも読んでいたい作品です。日常のお話だけど飽きません。私はヒロシが1番好きなのですが、凡人かもだけど、誰からも好かれるし、絶対モテると思うんですよね。でも都会に染まらずいつまでも先生の世話するこのままのヒロシでいて欲しい！

Not to mention the teacher, all the characters are unique and interesting. Basically, it's a bright, fun, and messy story, but sometimes it's a surprise, and there are scenes that stick to the heart, so it's a work I want to read forever. It's an everyday story, but I never get tired of it. I like Hiroshi the most, and although he may be an ordinary person, he is liked by everyone, and I think he will definitely be popular. But I want Hiroshi to stay like this and take care of his teacher forever without getting caught up in the city!

イケメンなのに、なんかダメな感じがいい！

Even though he's a good-looking guy, it's nice to feel like he's kind of bad!

テレビアニメをみてハマった漫画です。なるや島の人たちとの交流の中ではんだ先生の心が豊かに成長していきます。一緒に色々考えさせられる場面も多かったです。島の人達とのやりとり、ほのぼのなんだけどなんか面白い。テンポよく読めるし、将来みんながどうなっていくのかずっと見守っていきたい作品です。

It's a comic I'm addicted to watching TV anime. While interacting with the people of Naruya Island, Professor Adeda's heart grows richly. There were also many scenes that made us think about various things together. The interaction with the islanders was heartwarming, but it was kind of interesting. I can read it at a good tempo, and it's a work I want to keep watching for a long time to see what happens to everyone in the future.
