濃厚だけど叙情的

Rich yet lyrical

This review contains spoilers. 好きな親友には彼女がいて、卒業と共に身を引くけど、実はずっとすれ違いだったお話。とにかく絵がお上手な作家様で、濃厚な濡れ場なのにいやらしい感じがなく、美しいです。作品としては星５つなんだけど、BLの単行本あるあるで他の作品と合体させるのは、出来ればやめて欲しい。（その世界観に浸っていたいので）もう少し描き足して、番外編と合体させてくれたら良かったのに。作品としては秀作でした。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story where my best friend I like has a girlfriend, and she left after graduation, but in fact, we passed away the whole time. Anyway, the artist is good at painting, and even though it's a rich wet place, there's no nasty feeling, and it's beautiful. It has 5 stars as a work, but since there is a BL book, I would like you to stop combining it with other works if possible. It would have been nice if they added a little more (because I want to immerse myself in that worldview) and combine them with the extra edition. It was an excellent work.

２作品収録

Includes 2 works

試し読みで良さそげだったからレビューを読まずに購入。なんか進み方が早いなと思ったら表題作だけではなかった…。もう１作品が悪いとかではないけど表題作だけで１冊読みたかったな。好きなカンジだったからもったいない感。小冊子で補わせてもらいました。

I bought it without reading the reviews because it was a trial reading and it wasn't good enough. When I thought something would go faster, it wasn't just the title work... It's not that the other work is bad, but I wanted to read one book with just the title work. It was my favorite kanji, so I felt like it was a waste. I was allowed to supplement it with a booklet.

表題作と2作品あります！

There is a title work and 2 works!

短めのお話なのでしょうがないと思いますが、2人の気持ちが通じ合うまでにもだもだがまだあるかな〜と期待していたので繋がってからトントン話が進みすぎてちょっと置いてきぼりくらいました（笑）勘違い早とちりは一番良くないです！！！！2作品目は表題作の友達の話なので近い存在でもBLがあるのが嫌な人は注意かもです⚠️(相手は表題作に出て来てない人なので別のとこでBLしてる、と捉えてOKだとも思います)

I don't think it's a short story, but I was hoping that the two of them would still have their own feelings, so after they connected, the Tonton story progressed too far and left it off for a bit (laughs) I misunderstood, hasty and dust isn't the best!!!! The second film is about a friend of the title work, so people who don't like the fact that there is BL even if they are close people may be careful ⚠️ (I also think it's OK to think that the opponent is someone who doesn't appear in the title work, so they're doing BL in another place)

切ない初恋のその後のお話

The story after Sad Hatsukoi

This review contains spoilers. 高校時代に好きだった相手と10年ぶりに再会するというお話。高校時代の町田は失恋したと思っていたから逃げてしまったのはわかるし、すれ違いは切ないけどある意味しょうがなかった。でも、お互いの共通の友人と連絡を取り合っていたなら古淵が結婚したかどうかは知っていそうだけどな、と思って腑に落ちませんでした。そう言う意味では再会後の誤解とすれ違い（未遂）はちょっとモヤモヤ。繊細であっさりした絵柄は切ない恋愛にすごくマッチしている気がします。長年の両片思いが実って幸せそうな二人が見られて良かった。本編後半は高校の同級生のお話。唐突でちょっとびっくりしたけど飄々とした雰囲気の中山くんの別の顔を見られて興味深かったです。番外編は町田と古淵がお付き合いしたその後のお話。あんなにずっと好きだった相手とお付き合い出来てもマイペースでまたすれ違いそうになる町田がちょっと意外。ちゃんとお互いに言いたいことを言えてほぼプロポーズのような展開で番外編まで読んで本当の完結という感じでした。本編では短くて少し物足りなかったので番外編嬉しいです。星4.4

This review contains spoilers. It's a story about reuniting with someone you liked in high school for the first time in 10 years. I know Machida in high school ran away because she thought she was heartbroken, and although it was sad to pass by, it was unavoidable in a sense. However, I wasn't sure because I thought that if we had kept in touch with mutual friends, they would probably know if Kobuchi got married or not. In that sense, the misunderstandings and misunderstandings (attempts) after the reunion are a bit confusing. I feel that the delicate and simple pattern is a perfect match for a sad romance. I'm glad I was able to see these two happy people who had a long-standing crush. The second half of the main story is about high school classmates. It was interesting to be able to see another face of Nakayama-kun, who was a bit surprised but had a relaxed atmosphere. The extra edition is the story after Machida and Kobuchi started a relationship. It's a bit surprising that Machida seems to pass each other again at his own pace even when he is able to go out with someone he has always liked. We were able to say what we wanted to say to each other properly, and it developed almost like a proposal, and I read even the extra edition, and it felt like it was really complete. The main story was short and a bit unsatisfactory, so I'm happy with the extra edition. 4.4 stars

共通の友人からは？

From a mutual friend?

This review contains spoilers. 表題作は3話なので、少し全体的に物足りない感じはありますが、切なさは伝わってきた！ただ10年間二人は連絡取らなくても、共通の友達がいれば、結婚してるかどうかくらいは噂に聞くことできたのでは？矢部ちゃんとゆみちゃん結婚したよ！びっくり！とか。そこはちょっと引っかかりました。

This review contains spoilers. There are 3 episodes in the title work, so the overall feeling is a bit unsatisfactory, but the sadness was conveyed! However, even if the two didn't get in touch for 10 years, if they had mutual friends, they were able to hear rumors about whether they were married or not? Yabe and Yumi got married! I'm surprised! or something. I got a little stuck there.

すれ違いの10年後の再会愛の物語！

A reunion love story 10 years after passing each other!

好きだからこそ知りたくないし、冷静に考えられないし、まともに正面から見たくない、見たくないから、精神安定になった好きな夢に向かってひた走る。からの…予想外の再会っ！からの予想外の出来事。そんな中のドキドキやハラハラが表情や行動に現れてて良かったです。でもなんだか、勘違いありでの両片思いなので、10年会えてなかったのは残念だな…もっと早く会えなかったのかな…と思ってしまう。でもコレ系は離れた期間があるからこそだとは分かってはいるのです。頭では！心がどうしてもついていけない！良いCPだからこそ…。

I don't want to know because I like it, I can't think calmly, and I don't want to look at it directly from the front, so I just run towards my favorite dream that has stabilized my mind. From... an unexpected reunion! Unexpected events since I'm glad that such excitement and harassment appeared in their facial expressions and actions. But somehow, they both have unrequited love due to a misunderstanding, so it's a pity that we haven't met for 10 years... I wonder if we didn't meet sooner... But I know that this is only because they have been away for a period of time. In my head! My heart just can't keep up! That's because it's a good CP...

This review contains spoilers. The picture was so good that I was drawn in and bought it, but it ended so easily... I was wondering if there was something more. It's a short story, so it can't be helped, but I wanted to read one book thoroughly.

1作目が良い

The first one is good

This review contains spoilers. 表題作ともう1作入ってます。試し読みで前半読んで良かったので購入した。お話としては町田は勘違い、思い込みが激しすぎるし、年月も随分経ってしまってるのに、結構すんなり話は終わってしまうけど、絵柄のタッチも良いし、本当前半のコマ割りも２人の恋心の表現の仕方が凄く良くて、町田の片想いの切なさと古淵のいやらしい気持ちが伝わってくる。えろもこれまた表現の仕方がとても良い。とてもみどころのある作品。2作目は私はぴんと来なかった。星４は表題作への評価。

This review contains spoilers. The title work and 1 more work are included. I was glad I read the first half as a trial reading, so I bought it. As a story, Machida's misunderstandings and assumptions are too intense, and even though many years have passed, the story ends quite easily, but the touch of the pattern is also good, and the way the two people are in love is actually expressed really well in the split frame in the first half, and it conveys the sadness of Machida's unrequited love and Kobuchi's disgusting feelings. Eromo, this is also a very good way to express it. This work has a lot of highlights. I didn't really come to the second film. 4 stars is an evaluation of the title work.

登場人物が町田、古淵、矢部と中山って横浜線！？中山じゃなくて淵野辺さんが良かったー。当たり前ですが、電車関係ありませんでした。絵も綺麗で読みやすかったです。表題作の2人で一冊読みたかったです。

The characters are Machida, Kobuchi, Yabe, and Nakayama on the Yokohama Line!? Fuchinobe-san, not Nakayama, was good. Of course, it had nothing to do with trains. The pictures were beautiful and easy to read. The two of us wanted to read the title book in one.

悪くないけど、惜しい。

It's not bad, but it's a pity.

This review contains spoilers. 表題作だけじゃなく、もう一組別のストーリー（友達なので世界線は一緒）が入っています。短編なところをきちんと確認せずに買ってしまった私が悪い。一切会えないままお互い一途な両片思い10年はせっかくのリアリティさと切なさを邪魔してる気がする。海外の元カレとかいても全然ありだったんじゃないかなぁって。2組とも素敵だっただけに、1冊ずつで深堀したらもっとキャラクターの深いとこまで見られたのにと少し残念でした。

This review contains spoilers. In addition to the title work, there is another group of stories (they are friends, so the world is the same). It's my fault that I bought the short film without properly checking it. I feel that 10 years of unrequited love with each other without ever being able to meet at all interferes with the reality and sadness. I wonder if it would have been possible even if I had an overseas ex-boyfriend or something. Both groups were wonderful, and it was a bit disappointing that when I dug deeper into each book, I was able to see the characters even deeper.

2CPの話し。もっとじっくり読みたかった

I'm talking about 2CP. I wanted to read it more carefully

This review contains spoilers. 初読み作者様。表題作ともう1作品なので、どちらも少し物足りない感じ。どちらの作品も、高校からの両片思いで、とくに「レンズ越しの恋」は10年。ひゃー長すぎる。想いが通じ合ってからのふたりがもっと見たかった。あと、「嘘で触れさせて」の方が前で、町田と古淵の友達、中山がメインで、顔出てないけど、町田もちらっと登場。でもレンズ越し〜と全然感じが違う？あまりハマらなかったので、読み返しないかなぁ。

This review contains spoilers. First-time reader author. It's the title work and 1 more work, so I feel like both are a bit unsatisfactory. Both works are unrequited love from high school, and in particular, “Love Through a Lens” is 10 years old. Wow, that's too long. I wanted to see more of them after their feelings got through. Also, “Let me touch you with a lie” is in front, and Machida and Kobuchi's friend Nakayama are the main characters, and although they don't show up, Machida also makes a quick appearance. But does it feel completely different from going through the lens? I wasn't really into it, so I wonder if I should reread it.

This review contains spoilers. First-time reader writer. The real emotions of high school students stuck with me. Machida left Kobuchi at the same time as graduation due to a painful unrequited love. I think they're good at depicting sad feelings. It's precious to have both unrequited feelings for each other for 10 years!

勘違いで10年。長かったですねー汗お互いどんな10年を過ごして来たんでしょうか。でも両想いになれて良かったですね。大人のきゅんきゅんエロエロ恋愛で凄く良かったです。シバくんと中山さんの恋も良かったです。

10 years due to a misunderstanding. It's been a long time, isn't it? What kind of 10 years have we spent with each other? But I'm glad I was able to get used to both feelings. It was really nice to have an adult Kyun Kyun erotic romance. The love between Shiba-kun and Nakayama-san was also good.

短編では勿体ない

It's a shame if it's a short story

This review contains spoilers. 町田×古淵と２人の友達の中山×後輩志波、２つのCPの短編が収録されています。片想いをしていた古淵と彼女の口から結婚という言葉を聞いて卒業式を前に逃げ出してしまった町田。10年経って日本に戻って来て古淵と再会したことで10年前の誤解が解けます。結局は両片思いだったのに10年も無駄にしたのかと思うと。10年長いよ〜。友達の中山とは連絡を取ってたのかな？帰国に合わせて連絡を取ったのかな？？とにかく10年間音信不通だったとしたらなんて勿体ない事を思ってしまいました。あと1日待てたらねぇ。もう1つのCPの方は中山の気持ちが見え辛くて、志波がちょっとかわいそうに感じてしまいました。短編だから仕方ないとは思いつつ、中山の志波に対しての感情をもう少し丁寧に見せて欲しかったです。纏まってはいますが、短編故に駆け足だった町田×古淵CPのお話を丸々１冊で読みたかったです。その後の２人も気になります。

This review contains spoilers. Two short CP films have been recorded, with Machida x Kobuchi and his two friends Nakayama x junior Shiba. Machida ran away before the graduation ceremony after hearing the word marriage from Kobuchi, who had an unrequited love with her. I came back to Japan after 10 years and was reunited with Kobuchi, so I can resolve my misunderstanding 10 years ago. After all, they both had unrequited love, but I think they wasted 10 years. 10 years is a long time. I wonder if I was in touch with my friend Nakayama? I wonder if they got in touch to coincide with their return home?? Anyway, I thought it would be a shame if we hadn't been able to communicate for 10 years. I wish I had waited 1 more day. The other CP had a hard time seeing Nakayama's feelings, and I felt a little sorry for Shiba. While I thought it was unavoidable because it was a short film, I wanted them to show Nakayama's feelings for Shiwa a little more carefully. It's all organized, but since it's a short story, I wanted to read the whole story of Machida x Kobuchi CP, in one book. I'm also interested in the next two.

10年の片想い

10 years of unrequited love

This review contains spoilers. 報われない恋の辛さから海外に旅立ち、帰国後に思わぬタイミングでの再会。王道のラブストーリーって感じでしょうか？色々な勘違いから諦めようとする健気受けと×ノンケだけど気持ちにまっすぐな感じの攻めどちらも個人的に好きな方だったのと、もともと両思いだったということが描かれつつの展開だったので、短い割にすんなり読めました。収録は、表題作ともう１話（表題作に軽く登場してたお友達のお話。こちらも、攻めが押すとかはしっかり押す感じで、割と好きでした）と、表題作のおまけ漫画。

This review contains spoilers. They left overseas due to the pain of an unrequited love, and after returning home, they met again at an unexpected timing. Does it feel like a classic love story? It was a development that depicts the fact that they personally liked both Kenki, who tried to give up due to various misunderstandings, and that they had both feelings originally, and that they had both feelings, so I was able to read it easily even though it was short. The recording is the title work and another episode (the story of a friend who appeared lightly in the title work. This is also a bonus comic with the title, as if the attack were to be pushed firmly, and I liked it quite a bit).

２つの話、眼福！

Two stories, eye candy!

This review contains spoilers. 高校同級生の町田と古淵が10年後再会する話と、リーマンシバと便利屋中山の話の、２つ。中山は町田と古淵のクラスメイト。いちいさん初めてで、絵の美しさに惹かれて買いました〜眼福！！！絵、素晴らしいね、力強さを感じる。体がムチムチなのがまた好き。たまに目がアップで描かれてて、リアルで怖いくらい、あれっホラー漫画だったっけって思っちゃった。話は意外と穏やかで、そんなに波風なく、絵を愛でる作品だったかなあ。話が絵の邪魔をしてなくてちょうど良かった気がする。これ、中山の話の方の絵が荒いなと思ったら、こちらが先に描かれたんだね。で、中山の仕事仲間が町田って呼ばれてて、え！？ってなったけど町田違いかね。2026年4月番外編読了！町田と古淵にまた会えて嬉しいのと、この美しすぎる絵をまた見れるの幸せでしかない。肌の柔らかさが伝わってくるしっとりした絵、もううっとり…美しい…。

This review contains spoilers. There are two stories: the story of high school classmates Machida and Kobuchi being reunited in 10 years, and the story of Lehman Shiva and the handyman Nakayama. Nakayama is Machida and Kobuchi's classmate. It was Ichii-san's first time, and I was attracted to the beauty of the picture and bought it ~ eyesight!!! The picture is wonderful, I feel the strength. I also like the fact that my body is plump. Sometimes my eyes were drawn up, and it was so realistic that I thought it was a horror comic. The story was surprisingly calm, there weren't that many waves, and I think it was a work I admired. I feel it was just right that the story didn't interfere with the picture. I thought this picture of Nakayama's story was rough, but this one was drawn first. So, Nakayama's colleague is called Machida, huh!? It turned out, but Machida is different, isn't it? 2026/4 Extra Edition Completed! I'm happy to see Machida and Kobuchi again, and I'm only happy to be able to see this too beautiful picture again. I'm already fascinated by the moist picture that conveys the softness of the skin... it's beautiful...
