もうつきあっちゃえよ！

Let's go out with each other already!

This review contains spoilers. 2巻epi.10階段の場面が良かったです！笹反のパートナー宣言頼もしかった！！表紙で持ってる「サソリとオトメ」のタイトルが早乙女の気持ち全部表してると思います。早乙女が自分の性癖を自分で受け入れられたら、ふたりの恋が始まりそうだなって思いました(*´˘`*)

This review contains spoilers. The scene in volume 2 epi.10 Stairs was great! Sasabane's partner declaration was reliable!! I think the title “Scorpion and Otome” on the cover shows all of Saotome's feelings. I thought that if Saotome were to accept her own proclivities, their love would begin (*'`*)

相互救済の話

A story of mutual relief

This review contains spoilers. 読んだ後にじんわりと余韻に浸りたくなるようなお話でした。早乙女がスランプを抜け出すきっかけになったのは、現編集担当で元同級生の笹反。その笹反も高校の頃に早乙女に救われていたんですね。全2巻にわたって少しずつ二人の過去の関係性がわかっていき、なぜ笹反が早乙女にそこまで尽くすのかが見えてくる構成になっていました。笹反の愛の大きさにはグッとくるものがありましたね。そして本人は無自覚だったようですが、笹反にラブレターのような小説を渡した高校の頃の早乙女もなかなか大胆！

This review contains spoilers. It was a story that made me want to slowly soak in the afterglow after reading it. What triggered Saotome to break out of the slump was Sasatan, a former classmate who is currently in charge of editing. Sasazan was also saved by Saotome when she was in high school. Little by little, the past relationship between the two was understood over all 2 volumes, and the structure made it possible to see why Sasaban went so far as to Saotome. There was something surprising about the size of Sasazane's love. And it seems that the person herself was unaware, but Saotome in high school, who gave Sasabane a novel like a love letter, was also quite bold!

ジャンルは少女マンガでいいのでは

Wouldn't it be nice if the genre was girls' manga

This review contains spoilers. 乙女は自分の気持ちを小説にして昇華出来るけど、笹反はどうしたらいいの…。あれだけ言葉を尽くしても無視されて、笹反が良い加減可哀想になってきたところに、笹反が乙女と死期を合わせるために煙草を吸い始めたところ、泣いてしまったんですけど。アガペーじゃん。乙女の行動を全肯定しながらも、作品に対しては一切打算を許さないのは、乙女が書くものは乙女の心そのものだと分かっているから。唯一、乙女が自分だけに書いてくれた作品が自分に向けたラブレターだと気付いた笹反だからこそ、編集者という立場を得てまで乙女に自分の心と向き合わせようとする様に、笹反の底知れない愛情の深さを見た気がした。無償の愛の前にさしもの頑固な乙女も言いなりになる未来は近そう。

This review contains spoilers. Otome can sublimate her feelings into a novel, but what should Sasabane do... Even if I tried to say so many words, they were ignored, and when Sasazane began to feel sorry, when Sasazane started smoking to make time for her death with Otome, she cried. it's agape. While fully affirming Otome's actions, the reason why they don't allow any plans for the work is because they know that what Otome writes is the Maiden's heart itself. Because Sasaban realized that the only work that Otome wrote only for herself was a love letter for her, I felt that I saw Sasaban's unfathomable depth of love, as if trying to face Otome with her own heart until she got the position of editor. It seems that the future is near where even stubborn maidens will be complicit in the face of gratuitous love.

作者様買いです。他サイトでチラッと見ていましたが、きちんとまとめて読みたくて購入しました。空気感や言葉の選び方、心情描写など、どれをとっても丁寧で繊細で、でもちゃんと芯がある。身体の関係はひとつもないので、BLと思って読むと物足りない部分もあるかもしれませんが、この二人はずっと一緒にいるんだろうなと思わせてくれるものがありました。本編の後の描き下ろし(？)でひとつ区切りがついたかなと思うので、私のように他サイトで読んでいた方にも読んでいただきたいなと思います。

The author is buying it. I had a quick look at it on other sites, but I bought it because I wanted to read them all together properly. The atmosphere, the way words are chosen, the depiction of feelings, etc., all of them are careful and delicate, yet they have a proper core. There is no physical relationship at all, so if you read it as BL, there may be parts that are unsatisfactory, but there was something that made me think that these two have been together the whole time. Drawings after the main story (?) I think there was a break, so I would like people like me who read it on other sites to read it.

ゆっくり進む愛情

Love that progresses slowly

息でき、かわにさざなみからの作者様買いです！エロ要素は無いけどお互いの感情がゆっくり進んでるところが良いです。文学ものが好きな人におすすめしたいお話。他の人も書かれてますが続きが読んでみたいです。

I can breathe, I bought it from the author from Kawani Sazanami! There are no erotic elements, but it's good that our feelings for each other are slowly progressing. I would recommend this story to people who like literature. Other people have written it, but I'd like to read more.

生きづらそうな人に萌えてしまう

I fall in love with people who seem to have a hard time living

This review contains spoilers. 小説家の主人公が執筆するために己の過去と向き合い、文字通りのたうち回って書き上げていく話です。読んでる側もその苦しみを追体験できます。好きな子に無自覚に小説で告白とかやってることが可愛いんだよな、後書きの長生きしてもー、も結構萌えました。側から見ても恋とか愛なのに頑なに認めないところが可愛い。BL要素は少なめですが、癖になるのか何回も読み直してます。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story where the main character, a novelist, faces his own past in order to write, and literally goes back and forth and writes it up. Readers can also relive that suffering. It's cute to unknowingly confess to a child you like in a novel, and even after living a long time in the afterword, it made me feel pretty excited. Even if you look at it from the side, it's cute that they stubbornly don't acknowledge it even though it's love or love. There are few BL elements, but I've reread it over and over again to see if it becomes a habit.

愛とは？創作とは？

What is love? What is creation?

This review contains spoilers. ジャンルは少女漫画ですがBLかな、というところ。ラストで２人の関係がやっとスタートに立ったばかりですが、お互いにお互いを想っているのは確かです。銀河鉄道の夜のさそりの話をモチーフに、自己犠牲と愛について描かれています。スランプ真っ最中の小説家・早乙女×編集者・笹反。CP表記しましたが作中では体の関係はありませんが、先生がTwitterで言及していたのでそうしました。好きとは？愛とは？創作とは？とすごく哲学的な部分もあり、色々と考えさせられる内容でした。BL作家さんたちも、早乙女のように誰かのためにとか自分のためにと考えて作品に向き合うのかなぁと想像しましたね。自分の訴えたい何かのためにキャラを動かすのかなぁとか。ただただ可愛い男の子たちのイチャイチャも見てたいですが、テーマの深い作品も読んでいきたいと思いました。

This review contains spoilers. The genre is girls' manga, but I think it's probably BL. The relationship between the two has just begun at the end, but it is certain that they have feelings for each other. It is about self-sacrifice and love, based on the story of Night Scorpion on the Galaxy Express as a motif. Novelist Saotome x editor Sasatan in the middle of a slump. I wrote CP, but there is no physical relationship in the story, but since the teacher mentioned it on Twitter, I did that. What is liking? What is love? What is creation? There was also a very philosophical part, and the content made me think a lot. I also imagined that BL artists, like Saotome, would face their work by thinking for someone else or for themselves. I wonder if they move the characters for something they want to appeal to. I just wanted to watch cute boys flirt, but I also wanted to read works with deep themes.

It was awesome!

久々にハマってしまって、何度も読み返しています。2人の心情が丁寧に描かれているように感じました。小説が題材になっているからかな？続編ありますように、、！お願いします?

I'm addicted to it after a long time, and I've reread it over and over again. I felt that the feelings of the two were carefully drawn. Maybe because it's based on a novel? I hope there will be a sequel...! please?

作者様、、私大ファンになりました。

I've become a big fan, Mr. Author.

この作者様…心情を乗せるのがとても上手く色々とやられてしまいました。エチがないので物足りなく感じる人もいるかも知れませんが、それを上回る卓越した展開と設定があります。そこまでシリアスにならずにクスッ笑えたり、神経質だけど暖かいキャラに好感が持てたり…何気なく少しの問題を抱え物語は進みますが、要所に『自分に問う』場面は主人公の小説の世界観と重なり…なんとも素晴らしく時が止まったような感覚になります。続きが早く見たいですw※『息できないのは君のせい』で作者様の他作品を楽しみにしてました。フォローしている方のレビューでこの作品のSALEを知り間に合った〜と慌てて購入しました。情報ありがとうございます!

This author... was very good at putting on feelings and did a lot of things. There may be people who feel that it is unsatisfactory because there is no etiquette, but there are excellent developments and settings that surpass that. I can laugh without getting that serious, and I have a good impression of the characters who are nervous but warm... the story casually progresses with a few problems, but at key points, the “Ask Yourself” scene overlaps with the main character's novel's worldview... it's so wonderful that it makes me feel like time has stopped. I want to see the continuation soon w※ I was looking forward to the author's other works in “It's Your Fault You Can't Breathe.” I was in a hurry and bought it because I learned about the sale of this work in a hurry due to reviews from people I followed. Thanks so much for the info!

続きが読みたい

I want to read more

This review contains spoilers. 1巻と2巻で視点が変わるため印象もずいぶん変わるストーリーでした。 1巻では早乙女が自分を投影させて書くストーリーの主人公が姫なこともあって、早乙女が受け入れる方だと思いながら読み、笹反のセリフに「ん？」となったところで1巻終了。 2巻、笹反の視点になってからは(もしかして笹反が受け入れる側かな？)と感じるようになりました。これで完結との意見もありますが、どうにも気になりますので続きが読みたいです。

This review contains spoilers. It was a story where the point of view changed between volumes 1 and 2, so the impression changed quite a bit. In volume 1, the main character of the story written by Saotome projecting herself is also a princess, so I read it while thinking that Saotome would accept it, and Sasaban's line was “huh?” That's where volume 1 came to an end. Volume 2, after getting to Sasaban's point of view (maybe Sasaban is on the accepting side?) I began to feel that. There is also an opinion that this is the end, but I'm really curious, so I want to read more.

世の中の創作主たち全員読んでくれよ！

Read it to all the creators in the world!

うわぁぁぁあぁあ！！めっちゃ良かった！！！本当の本当に色々考えさせられながら読みました！！うわぁぁあぁぁあ！いや、同じ作者様の「息できないのは君のせい」が凄く好きだったので買いましたが、全く別物の良さがありました。創作とは何か。恋愛とは何か。物事の本質をずっと模索しながら描かれてる。私ごとではありますが、私自身二次創作にハマっていた時期もあったので、主人公の作家:早乙女に共感する部分が多かったです。何かひとつの作品をつくる側にいる人たちなら、めちゃくちゃ考えさせられる作品なんじゃないかな。ただ、とにかく男の子たちの恋愛が描かれてるものが見たい！それこそがＢＬと思ってる方々は、読むのやめた方がいいかも。ふたりは一巻でず〜っと低温だし、二巻の最後の最後でやっと恋愛のスタート地点に立つ感じ。ジャンルもＢＬじゃなくて少女漫画だし、ヤってるシーンとかもない。でも創作について、すごく考えさせられる作品だから、世の中の創作主はみんな読んでくれよ…。恋愛が少ししかなくても満足度が高い話なんだよ…。最高なんだよ…と叫びたくなるお話でした。やはりゼニコ先生は天才ですね。これからも応援します。

wow ah ah!! That was really good!!! I read it while really really made me think a lot!! Whoa whoa! No, I really liked “You Can't Breathe” by the same author, so I bought it, but it had a completely different merit. What is creation? What is love? It is drawn while searching for the essence of things all the time. It's my own, but there was a time when I myself was addicted to secondary creations, so there were many parts where I sympathized with the main character, the artist Saotome. If you're on the side of creating a single piece of work, it's probably a work that makes you think insanely. However, I just want to see something depicting boys' love affairs! For those who think that's BL, it might be better to stop reading it. The two have been so cold in volume 1, and it feels like they're finally standing at the starting point of their romance at the end of volume 2. The genre isn't BL, it's a girls' comic, and there aren't any erotic scenes. But it's a work that really makes me think about creation, so all creators in the world should read it... It's a story with a high level of satisfaction even if there's only a little romance... It was a story that made me want to shout, “That's awesome...” After all, Zenico sensei is a genius. I will continue to support you.

むず痒い関係

An itchy relationship

This review contains spoilers. 恋とは？恋愛とは？売れっ子作家（スランプ中）と愛が重すぎる担当編集者の名前をつけられない関係の2人。2巻完結ですが、その後も2人はこのむず痒い関係がこのまま続いていくかと思うと壁になって見守りたいと思いました。認めたら、名前をつけたらの先を早乙女がもう少し欲が出たら笹反の思う壺になるのでは…。このむず痒いラストが読み手としてはもっと欲しいと欲が出てしまうんだなと思いました。

This review contains spoilers. What is love? What is love? They are two people in a relationship where they can't name the best-selling writer (in a slump) and the editor in charge whose love is too heavy. Volume 2 was completed, but even after that, when the two thought that this painful relationship would continue like this, I wanted to stand in the wall and watch over it. If you admit it, if Saotome shows a little more greed after naming it, it will probably become Sasaban's dream... As a reader, I thought this painful ending would make me greedy if I wanted more.

気になるんです。

I'm worried.

1巻で思ってたんですが、このムズムズする関係性。友達なの？好きなの？読者、作者、関係なの？2巻の笹反の気持ち爆発で、スッキリしました。それでも、はっきりしない早乙女も、読んでいてドキドキ。Ｈはないけど、この二人の恋模様本当に気になるんです！

I was thinking about it in volume 1, but this messy relationship. Are they friends? do you like it? Is there a relationship between the reader and the author? Sasaban's emotional explosion in volume 2 made me feel refreshed. Even so, it's exciting to read Saotome, who isn't clear. There's no H, but I'm really curious about the love pattern between these two!

150p､しかし凄く読み応えがありました

It was 150p, but it was a great read!

This review contains spoilers. 1巻のみの評価､感想になります。1冊丸ごと表題作。続き物。150ページ。作者買い。キス.エロ無し､ストーリー重視。完結してから一気に読もうかな…と思っていたのですが､我慢出来ず……手を出してしまいました。でも手を出して良かったです。ページ数が少ないのに､凄い読み応え！やっぱゼニコさんの作風､好きだなー。ストーリーがしっかりしてるし、登場人物の心の機微を丁寧に追いかけて描いてくれるのが良いよね。感情移入しやすい！そして傷を触るシーン､告白シーンにグッと､キュンと来ました！しかしエロを描かなくても､キュンと萌えを私に与えてくれる作家さんだけど､今回はどうなんだろう？？？ジャンルが少女漫画…。pixivではBL枠で紹介されていたし､作品紹介に【恋愛知らずの人気小説家×執着するマイペースな編集のこじらせリスタート•ラブ】て書いてあったから､エロ有りBLかと思ったんだケドなぁ…。どうなるんでしょうね？ww エロが有るのか無いのか？(匂わせ程度でも良いから描いて欲しい！) 乙女先生はスランプを脱出出来るのか？ 2巻がとても楽しみです。

This review contains spoilers. This is an evaluation and impression of only 1 volume. The entire book is titled. sequel. 150 pages. Buy the author. No kissing. No eroticism, focus on the story. I was wondering if I would read it all at once after I finished it... but I couldn't stand it... and got out of my hands. But I'm glad I tried my hand at it. Even though the number of pages is small, it's a great read! After all, I love Zenico's style. The story is solid, and it's nice that they carefully follow the subtleties of the characters' minds. It's easy to empathize! Then, the scene of touching the wound and the confession scene came with a bang! However, even if I don't draw erotica, the artist gives me Kyun and Moe, so what about this time??? The genre is girls' comics... It was introduced in the BL frame on Pixiv, and since “A Popular Novelist Who Knows No Romance x Obsessed, Self-Paced Editing, Restart • Love” was written in the introduction of the work, I thought it was erotic and BL... I wonder what's going to happen? ww is there erotica or not? (Even if it smells good, I want you to draw it!) Can Otome sensei get out of the slump? I'm really looking forward to volume 2.
