可愛くて優しくて

Cute and kind

嘘が分かってしまう主人公。その力を元呪っていたけど、鋭い洞察力の探偵助手になることになって、力と自分と折り合いを付けていく物語。主人公の心を丁寧にえがきながら、探偵も主人公もどこか抜けていて明るく、可愛い！読むと心が温かくなります。

The protagonist can understand lies. It's a story where she was cursed based on that power, but then she becomes a detective assistant with sharp insight, and comes to terms with Chikara and herself. While carefully drawing the protagonist's heart, both the detective and the main character are somehow missing, bright, and cute! It warms my heart when I read it.

The picture is beautiful, and that's where my eyes go first. It makes me feel warm when I read it. Also, the food is drawn to look delicious. I recommend it.

久々に最後まで良い作品でした

It was a good work until the end after a long time

以前、途中まで読んでいてそのままに。今になってまた読み始めたら止まらなくなり最終巻まで一気読みでした！もっと早く読んでおけば、、と思いましたが、ある意味これで良かったのかもしれない！！それくらい素晴らしい作品でした。クスッとする面白おかしい所も可愛らしい所も、嘘について色々と考えさせられた部分も。全てにおいて読み応えのある作品でした。

I read it halfway through before and just keep it. Now that I started reading it again, I couldn't stop and read it all at once until the last volume! I wish I had read it sooner, but in a sense this might have been good!! It was such a wonderful work. There are funny, cute places, and parts that make me think a lot about lies. It was a well-read work in every way.

これ、大好き(;´༎ຶ۝༎ຶ`)

I love this (; '`)

よくある少女マンガって、ヒロインはかわいこぶってたり天然ドジっ子ぶってたり、男の子はカッコつけだったりキザだったりで胸がむず痒くなるので苦手なんですけど、嘘解きレトリックは見事にハマりました……。先生も鹿乃子ちゃんもマジで大好き、ふたりの関係を見守るのが幸せ！！もはや自分の乏しい語彙力ではこの作品をどれほど愛しているのかなんて到底伝えられないから余計なことは書けません。後にも先にもこれほど好きな作品はありません！！(　߹ㅁ߹)

I'm not good at common girls' manga, where the heroine has a cute hump or is naturally clumsy, and boys wear parentheses and make my chest itchy and itchy, but I'm really addicted to the lie solving rhetoric... I really love both the teacher and Kanoko, and I'm happy to watch over their relationship!! I can't write anything superfluous anymore because I can't really convey how much I love this work with my poor vocabulary. There's never been a work I liked more after or before!! ()

推理もの！

Something deductive!

推理ものかつ、時代ものというところでアンテナに引っかかりました。少女マンガなだけあってあまりドロドロし過ぎない事件なのと、「嘘」の捉え方を考えさせられるようなストーリーだなぁと思いました。嘘がわかるという能力も、犯人見つけるのにめっちゃ便利では？と思ったけど、人の心にふれてしまう辛さにもつながっていたのだなぁと。小さいころから嘘はダメと教わりますが、事件を通していろんな人のつく嘘に考えさせられること多々…。それとは話が変わりますが、着物好きとして、毎回のお着物見応えありました！かわいかった！

I was caught in the antenna because it was both speculative and historical. Since it's just a girls' manga, I thought it was an incident that wasn't too muddy, and that it was a story that made me think about how to capture “lies.” Isn't the ability to understand lies really useful for finding culprits? I thought, but it also led to the pain of touching people's hearts. I've been taught since I was little that lies are bad, but throughout the incident, lies told by various people often make me think... That's a different story, but as a kimono lover, the kimono was amazing to see every time! That was cute!

人間って面倒…でもそれが魅力

Humans are troublesome... but that's their appeal

日頃から相手の考えを探り合ったり、立場が上だの下だの考える人間って生き物は面倒だなぁと思っています。自分が人間である事に嫌気が差すほどに。でも、人間は時として鬼にも仏にもなる、そういう不安定さが実は恐ろしくもあり面白くもあるのかもしれません。自分が人間ではなく、ただ人間を眺める存在だったら人間を愛しく思えるのかも?でも人に生まれてしまったからには、この作品のキャラクターのように良い方に進んでいけるよう足掻いていきたいと思いました。

I think living things are troublesome for people who search for the other person's thoughts on a daily basis and think that their position is superior or inferior. So much so that I'm disgusted by the fact that I'm human. However, humans sometimes turn into demons and Buddhas, and that kind of instability may actually be both frightening and interesting. If you're not human and just someone who looks at people, maybe you love humans? But now that I've been born a human, I wanted to scrape my feet so that I could progress in a good direction like the characters in this work.

ほんわか（ネタバレごめん遊ばせ？）

Really (sorry spoiler, let me play?)

【まだ立読み中】「一緒にいていいんだよ」なんて言ってくれる人がいるなんて、羨ましい！凄惨な事件はありますが、キホン、周囲の人たちは皆、善人で優しい。ドラマの番宣で知りましたが、コミックは立場が逆転？していたんですね（笑）。時は、昭和初年。この十年ほど後には戦争が始まっていたんだなと思うと、切ない。束の間の平和な日常を味わいたいと思います。

[Still reading] I'm envious that there are people who say “we can be together”! There have been horrible incidents, but Kihon, all the people around him are good people and kind. I learned about it from the drama Banshen, but is the position reversed in comics? I was doing it (laughs). The time was the first year of the Showa era. It's sad to think that the war would have started about ten years later. I would like to enjoy a moment of peaceful everyday life.

嘘をつくのは何故か？その嘘によって自分にどんな未来がもたらされるのか？嘘かほんとじゃなくて、大事なものに気付かされた気がした。

Why do we lie? What kind of future will that lie bring to me? It wasn't a lie or truth; I felt like I was made aware of something important.

一気読み

Read it all at once

ドラマを見て、面白かったので原作を読み始めたら、ハマって一気読みしてしまいました。凶悪犯罪の犯人以外、悪い人が出てこないですし、さらっとしていますが人間の深い内容が盛り込まれていて好感も持てます。主人公と先生のキャラもいいです。

I watched the drama, and it was interesting, so when I started reading the original story, I read it all at once. Other than the culprit of heinous crimes, there are no bad people, and although it's quiet, it contains deep human content, and I like it. The main character and teacher are nice too.

ヒロインが良い子

The heroine is a good girl

This review contains spoilers. 探偵ものは探偵が事件を欲しがったり事件に首を突っ込みたがったりするものですが、本作のヒーローは基本的に面倒くさがりで、その月の家賃分のお金が貯まれば依頼すら受けようとしません。少女漫画ですが、恋愛要素は薄めでヒューマンドラマ的な要素が濃いかと。一応最後に恋愛面もちゃんと決着してくれるので、そこは良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. Detective stuff is something where the detective wants an incident or wants to plunge headlong into the incident, but the hero of this game is basically bothersome, and once money for rent for that month is saved, they don't even want to accept requests. It's a girls' comic, but I think the romance elements are weak and the elements of a human drama are strong. The love side was settled properly at the end for the time being, so that was good.

面白いです

It's interesting

ドラマ化をきっかけに読みました。ドラマよりさらにコミカルで面白く、ノリがいかにも「花ゆめ」っぽい。謎解き部分も展開に無理がなくて良かったです。ミステリだけではない人間ドラマも深みがあり左右馬と鹿乃子のお互いを補い合うようなコンビが素敵でした。

I read it in the wake of the drama adaptation. It's even more comical and interesting than dramas, and Nori is just like “Flower Yume.” I'm glad that the mystery solving part was easy to unfold. Human dramas, which are not just mysteries, are also deep, and the duo of left and right horses and Kanoko complements each other was wonderful.

This review contains spoilers. ドラマを見て原作が漫画だと知り読みたくなって読んでみましたがところどころドラマとは違うところもありますが漫画もとても面白いです!!何故今まで知らなかったのか…早く知りたかったですどのキャラも好きですし設定や内容もとても素晴らしいです漫画では表現が難しい音を表現する方法とか視覚でわかりやすくなっていて読みやすいですずっと続けてほしいです完結しないでほしいくらいです(笑)

This review contains spoilers. After watching the drama, I learned that the original was a manga, so I read it, but there are places that are different from dramas, but the comics are also very interesting!! Why didn't I know until now... I wanted to know quickly, I like every character, and the settings and content are so amazing. The methods for expressing sounds that are difficult to express in comics are visually easy to understand and easy to read, I want them to keep going, so much so I don't want them to finish (laughs)

表紙が可愛い

The cover is cute

数えで十六歳でしたっけ、なんとも愛らしいなあと思いながら。これもある意味異能とかになるのでしょうか。うそを言っているのが分かることについて、懇切丁寧に解き明かしているのがとても真っ当で、愚直なだけではなく、どう向き合ってゆくのかの示唆まで。あの時代の建物とか人びとの暮らしまで描かれていたので、相当な学習があったのではと

I was 16 years old by counting, and I thought it was so adorable. Does this also mean something like a disability? The fact that they understand that they are telling a lie is very accurate and careful, and not only is it honest, it even suggests how to deal with it. It depicts buildings and even people's lives in that era, so I think there was quite a bit of learning

感動

This review contains spoilers. かの子ちゃんがソウマさんと出会ったことで、人の心、意識はその人の現在でしか判断出来ないことであったり、過去と現在、未来までは見通せないという能力の難しさ、かの子ちゃんを目の敵にしてきた村の人たち、暖かい心で見守ってくれるクラタ食堂の皆様。人の心は良くも悪くも変わることが出来る。わたしも生まれてこのかた見た目で褒められたことは一度も無かったのです。雨ニモマケズ精神で、人に迷惑をかけないようにしてきたつもりですが、バイトをしていた頃、中高生のお客様にアイツキモッと罵られることが毎日ありました。でも大好きなアニメや推しのことを思い出して善意を尽くしてきたことは間違いなかったのだとこの作品を呼んで気づけました。ありがとう?

This review contains spoilers. Since Kanoko-chan met Souma-san, a person's mind and consciousness can only be judged by that person's present, the difficulty of being able to see past, present, and future is difficult, people in the village who have made Kanoko-chan an enemy of their eyes, and everyone at Kurata Diner who watches over her with a warm heart. A person's mind can change for better or for worse. Since I was born, I've never been praised for my appearance. I think I've been trying not to cause trouble to people with the rainy memo spirit, but when I was working part-time, I was abused by middle and high school customers every day. But when I invited this film, I realized that there was no doubt that I had done my best to remember my favorite anime and recommendations. thank you?

みんなのキャラがとてもいい。設定も細かくリアルで、嘘が聞こえるという設定をちゃんと活かしてストーリーが進みます。一つ一つの謎の話も面白いし、それぞれの心情、その変化もとてもいい。何回読んでもほっこり幸せな気持ちになれます。

Everyone's characters are so good. The settings are also detailed and realistic, and the story progresses by properly utilizing the setting where lies can be heard.

ドラマ化で続きが気になり、一気に読んでしまいました。絵も可愛く、内容も面白かった。10巻50話で終わりなんて、もったいないと思いました。馨編でも良いので、新作が読みたい。

It was made into a drama and I was curious about the continuation, so I read it all at once. The pictures were cute and the content was interesting. I thought it would be a waste to end with 10 volumes and 50 episodes. The Kaoru edition is fine, so I want to read the new work.

鮮やかな手口で謎が解かれていきます

Mysteries are solved with vivid modus operandi

人が嘘をつく時は、き～んとした音が聞こえる。人が嘘をついているかどうかわかるという能力のせいで、故郷の村を追われた鹿乃子が、出会った貧乏探偵は彼女の能力を気味悪がらずにいてくれた。一緒にやっていこうと言ってくれた。とにかく物語への導入が見事で、いつの間にか物語の世界に誘い込まれてしまいます。

When people tell lies, I hear loud noises. Kanoko, who was evicted from her hometown village because of her ability to know if people are lying, met a poor detective who didn't make her feel creepy. He said let's do it together. Anyway, the introduction to the story was amazing, and before I knew it, I was lured into the world of the story.

｢推理ものの少女漫画｣が増えて欲しい

I want the number of “mystery girl comics” to increase

This review contains spoilers. 早速TVドラマを見ました。｢フジテレビ系列・月曜夜9時｣と言えばあの｢ミステリと言う勿れ｣と同じ時間枠ですね。｢主人公が孤独な人間｣であると言う点ではこの｢嘘解きレトリック｣と｢ミステリと言う勿れ｣の両作品とも共通していますね。この｢推理ものの少女漫画｣、池田理代子先生の｢ベルサイユのばら｣や大和和紀先生の｢ヨコハマ物語｣や里中満智子先生の｢天上の虹｣などの｢歴史ものの少女漫画｣の要素も入っていまして大変面白いです。｢ピアノソナタ殺人事件｣などの他の｢推理ものの少女漫画｣のレビューでも述べましたが、僕は1996年(平成8年)に他界しました山村美紗氏の大ファンでした。僕の目がまだ黒いうちに第2、第3の山村美紗氏が誕生して欲しいですし、そのためにも｢推理ものの少女漫画｣がもっと増えて｢エースをねらえ!｣や｢ベルサイユのばら｣みたいに大ヒットして欲しいですし、｢名探偵コナン｣のTVアニメとしての放映も｢サザエさん｣や｢ちびまる子ちゃん｣みたいに永久に続いて欲しいです。そして、一昨年他界しました西村京太郎氏や故・夏樹静子氏のファンにもこの｢推理ものの少女漫画｣を読んで欲しいです。

This review contains spoilers. I watched the TV drama right away. Speaking of “Fuji TV series Monday at 9:00 p.m.,” it's the same time frame as “don't say it's a mystery.” Both “Lie-solving Rhetoric” and “Don't Say It's a Mystery” are common in that “the main character is a lonely person.” This “mystery girl manga” also contains elements from “historical girls' comics” such as “The Rose of Versailles” by Ikeda Riyoko, “Yokohama Monogatari” by Yamato Kazunori sensei, and “Heavenly Rainbow” by Satonaka Machiko sensei, which is very interesting. As mentioned in reviews of other “Mysterious Girl Manga,” such as “Piano Sonata Murder Case,” I was a big fan of Yamamura Misa, who passed away in 1996 (Heisei 8). I want Misa Yamamura, the 2nd and 3rd, to be born while my eyes are still black, and to that end, there will be more “mystery girl comics” and “aim for Ace!” I want it to be a big hit like “The Rose of Versailles,” and I want “Detective Conan” to continue airing forever as a TV anime like “Sazae-san” and “Chibi Maruko-chan.” Also, I want fans of Nishimura Kyotaro and the late Natsuki Shizuko, who passed away two years ago, to read this “Mysterious Girl Manga.”

本当の事と嘘とは

What is truth and lies

ただの謎解きだけでなく、いろんな意味で考えさせられる内容で、次から次へと続巻が読みたくなる漫画でした。かの子ちゃんのように、直球で当たる人には解明出来ない難問を人の会話の内容でどんどん解いていく探偵さん。それには 2人の深い過去があったが故の考え方の持って行き用で、読んでてなるほど〜と思ったりもして楽しかったです！

It was a comic that not only solved mysteries, but made me want to read the next volume one after the other with content that made me think in many ways. Like Kanoko-chan, she is a detective who solves more and more difficult questions that cannot be solved by people who hit with a fastball using human conversation content. The two of them had a deep past, so it was fun to take their way of thinking with them, and it was fun to even think that it was great when I read it!
