値下げ中に購入

Buy while prices drop

表紙の美しさに一目ぼれ。短編を集めた作品です。どの話も深い。何度でも読みたくなる内容です。個人的には自分が高校生～20代前半くらいの時に読みたかった。当時に読んでいたら感受性が強く揺さぶられそう。

I fell in love with the beauty of the cover at first sight. It is a collection of short films. Every story is deep. The content makes you want to read it again and again. Personally, I wanted to read it when I was in high school or in my early 20s. If I was reading it at the time, my sensitivity would be greatly shaken.

うまいつまみ

Delicious knobs

飲みながら漫画読むのですがこの作品はつまみに逸品でした短編というか極短編　なのに満足感がすごい着眼点がエグいそして絵が上手い！短編でこんなに楽しめれる作品はそう出会えない他の作品も読んでみます！

I read comics while drinking, but this work was a great snack; even though it's a short story, or rather an extremely short film, the sense of satisfaction is amazing, the point of view is poor, and the pictures are good! I'm going to read works that are short and I can enjoy this much, and other works that I can't find that much!

漫画のジャケ買いなんて久しぶり

It's been a while since I bought a comic jacket

This review contains spoilers. というくらい、表紙がまず良すぎます。これでがっかりするわけなくない？？と期待しつつ全然どんな内容かも知らないまま読み進めました。短編集。うわー続かないのかぁ…と思いつつこれは短編だからこそ輝く粒たちなんだろな、と仕事の休憩中に読み進めてたのが良くなかった。まさか最後にこんなん持ってこられるとは思わず……いやこの後まだまだ仕事あるんだってば、と思ってももう涙が止まらなくて。困りました。最高です。年末なんですが、今年読んだ中で私の1番でした。これは多方にお勧めしたい。お勧めしてきます。

This review contains spoilers. To that extent, the cover is just too good. Isn't there any reason to be disappointed with this?? While expecting that, I continued reading without knowing what kind of content it was at all. A short story. Wow, I was reading it while taking a break from work, wondering if this is a short story, and I wonder if it's because it's a short story, shining particles, and it wasn't good. I never thought I'd be able to bring something like this at the end... well, I couldn't stop crying even though I thought there were still more jobs after this. I'm in trouble. It's the best. It's the end of the year, and it was the best I've read this year. I would recommend this to many people. I recommend it.

読み応え抜群の短編集

Short stories with excellent readability

細かい所まで書き込んだ絵で、タイトル通り色んな世界で色んな人の距離感のお話でした。短編なのにどの話も読みごたえがあり実際のページ数よりもとても長く感じました。

It was a picture written down to the smallest detail, and as the title suggests, it was a story about the sense of distance between various people in various worlds. Even though it was a short story, every story was worth reading, and I felt that it was much longer than the actual number of pages.

美しく斬新！

Beautiful and novel!

This review contains spoilers. 作家買いです!”BADDUCKS“のストーリーと世界観が好きで紙で持っています。惹かれてこちらも購入。短編集。”その時がきたら“が好き。拐われて目隠しされていた王女と口がきけず耳の聞こえない小指のないお世話係の男。最後目を合わせたその時の空気感が胸がキュッとするようなキュンとするような複雑な気持ちが余韻として残ります。どの作品も斬新でいい意味でクセがあり、もっと見たい！と思わせてくれる作者さまのセンスが素晴らしいです！

This review contains spoilers. I'm buying a writer!” I like the story and world view of “BADDUCKS” and have it on paper. I was attracted to it and bought this one too. A short story.” I like “When That Time Comes.” The princess, who was abducted and blindfolded, and the caretaker man who couldn't speak and was deaf, and had no little finger. The feeling of air at the time of the last time we made eye contact leaves a feeling of convolution that left a lingering sensation in the heart. Every work is novel and unique in a good sense, and I want to see more! The author's sense that makes me think is amazing!

空気感

feeling of air

匂いや湿度が伝わってくる作品。とても良いショートショート集。キレイな短編集は数多くあれど、疑似体験できそうな空気感です。とても好きです。

This work conveys smell and humidity. A very good collection of short shorts. There are many beautiful short stories, but it feels like you can simulate them. I like it very much.

すごい短編集

Great short story

初読み作者様。短編集のラスト、「大好きな妻だった」には色んな方がレビューで絶賛されていて凄く魅力的だったのですが、気軽に読むとメンタル崩壊しそうで手が出なかったのを、こちらの短編集でやっと読めました！その他の短編もそれぞれかなり面白かったですが、やっぱり「大好きな〜」1番泣きました。素敵な短編集ありがとうごさいました！

First-time reader author. At the end of the short story, “My Favorite Wife,” received rave reviews from many people, and it was really fascinating, but when I read it casually, it seemed like I had a mental breakdown and couldn't get my hands on it, so I was finally able to read it in this short story! Each of the other short films was pretty interesting, but after all, “I love you!” made me cry the most. Thank you so much for the wonderful short edit!

とても良いです～！

It's so good~!

This review contains spoilers. 久々に短編集を買いました。20～15年くらい前まではこういういい意味で意味ありげ・意味深・人の人生のある場面のうまい取り方(魅せ方)の内容の短編集はわりと書店にあって買っていたのですが、最近はあまり見かけず…。出会わなかっただけかもしれませんが…懐かしい感じがしました。19年から電子書籍にしてアンソロジー以外では避けていたので短編集は初購入(？)かな？最初の話と探検家の話が面白く感じました。最初の話がストックホルム症候群っぽかったのは読んでいてザワザワして複雑になりました。また、奥様がガンになる話はグッときましたし、あのやりとりは漫画だから描ける話だなぁと漫画の力を感じました。適切な単語が出てきませんが(アンニュイ…ではないし)、単話ごとの今後を想像させるような終わり方がされている良い短編集でした。

This review contains spoilers. It's been a while since I bought a short story. Until about 20 to 15 years ago, I used to buy short stories about this kind of meaningful, meaningful, and good way to capture (charm) scenes in a good sense at bookstores, but recently I haven't seen many... Maybe I just didn't meet... I felt nostalgic. I made it an e-book since 19 and avoided anything other than anthologies, so I bought short stories for the first time (?) maybe? I found the first story and the explorer's story interesting. The fact that the first story was like Stockholm Syndrome got bogged down and complicated when I read it. Also, the story about my wife getting cancer was amazing, and I felt the power of comics that I could draw because that exchange was a comic. The right words didn't come up (not annuit...), but it was a good short story that ended in a way that made you imagine the future of each single story.

短編だけどそれがいい

It's a short story, but that's good

余韻が残る物語が多くあります。読んでいて楽しいです。後味が良い物語が多く感じます。余韻は残るので、また読みたいなと思う事もできます。読み返すのが楽しみです。

There are many stories that leave a lingering afterglow. It's fun to read. I feel that there are many stories with a good aftertaste. The afterglow remains, so you may want to read it again. I'm looking forward to rereading it.

強烈な余韻

Strong aftertaste

一言でいうと「映画館で、エンドロールが終わって照明がついても、まだ作品の余韻に浸っていたくて、しばらく立ち上がれない時の感じ」どの作品も、もう少し読み続けたいところで終わるのですが、読み手に想像の余地を残すことで、幾通りものストーリーが展開します。絵の秀逸さに惹かれて読みましたが、画一的でないテーマと良い、簡単には先を読ませない展開と良い、想像以上の満足度でした。5つ星では足りないくらい。

In a nutshell, “the feeling of being in a movie theater, even when the end roll is over and the lights are turned on, I still want to soak in the afterglow of the film, and I can't stand up for a while.” Every film ends where I want to keep reading a little more, but by leaving room for imagination for the reader, many different stories unfold. I was attracted to the excellence of the picture and read it, but I was more satisfied than I had imagined, with the ununiform theme and good, and the development that didn't make me easily read ahead. 5 stars isn't enough.

タイトルもいいです。

The title is nice too.

『大好きな妻だった』の短話を買っていて、作者名でこの作品が気になり、重複するのも構わず購入しました。後書きに、各作品の背景などを書かれていて、短編に詰め込むのに葛藤があったようです。でも、短い中に、作家さまの思いを表現するのは難しい事と思われますが、余韻を残す締め方も巧いです。

I was buying a short story of “My Favorite Wife,” and I was curious about this work under the author's name, so I bought it regardless of whether it overlapped. The background etc. of each work were written in the afterword, and it seems that there was a struggle to pack it into a short story. However, while it is short, it seems difficult to express the artist's thoughts, but the closing method that leaves a lingering finish is also clever.

ひと目惚れとは

What is love at first sight

こういう事なのかしらと…表紙に目を奪われました。何か言いかけた表情に気を惹かれ、何と言っているのか妄想し、試し読みもせず即買いです。短編集７作、全てとっても好みでした。どの作品もシュールでオリジナリティに溢れてて、共通して「緊張感」があります。ハッピーエンドじゃなくても大して暗い気持ちにならない所が素晴らしい。推し作家さんがまたしても増えてしまいました。王女が罪人に片恋(ストックホルム？)する表題作 “その時がきたら” と、秘境ジャングル原住民vsトレジャーハンターの“ 楽園 ” が好きです。自販機の老婆が良い味出してるのに一瞬だったのが残念でした。もっと見たい。

I wonder if this is what happened... I was fascinated by the cover. I was fascinated by the expression that was about to say something, and I was delusional about what they were saying, so I bought it right away without trial reading it. I really liked all of the 7 short stories. Every work is surreal and full of originality, and they all have a “sense of tension.” It's wonderful that you don't feel very dark even if it's not a happy ending. The number of recommended writers has increased once again. A princess has a crush on a sinner (Stockholm?) I like the title work “When That Time Comes,” and “Paradise” by Unexplored Jungle Natives vs. Treasure Hunters. It was a pity that it was a moment when the old woman at the vending machine had a good taste. I want to see more.

短編集

short story

7作223p(後書き含)です。短編集では勿体無いぐらいの人物象とストーリーです。そしてとにかく絵が美しい！人物の表情がとても好きです。世界への皮肉が詰まっていて、ブラックジョーク小説の様なショックでクスッとする内容から人への愛情まで詰まったすごい作品集です。

7 works, 223p (with afterword). The characters and story are beyond reasonable in a short story. And anyway, the picture is beautiful! I really like the facial expressions of the characters. It's an amazing collection of works filled with irony about the world, and is filled with everything from shocking and shocking content like a black joke novel to love for people.

泣いてしまった…

I cried...

「大好きな妻だった」読んで泣いてしまいました。どの作品も様々な形の愛があり、余韻が残ります。絵も素敵で美しいです。単行本としては、アレ？もう終わりなの？！もっと読みたい…！と思ってしまいました。あと、短編だから当然ですが短い！それが星一つ欠けている理由です。この長さが丁度よいんですが、もう少し読んでいたい…という気持ちにもなります

I cried reading “She Was My Favorite Wife.” There are many forms of love in every work, and a lingering afterglow remains. The picture is also lovely and beautiful. As a book, is that it? is it over yet?! I want to read more...! It made me think. Also, since it's a short story, of course, it's short! That's why one star is missing. This length is just right, but it also makes me feel like I want to read a little more...

これを読んで作者のファンになった

I read this and became a fan of the author

This review contains spoilers. 紙本を購入した作品のレビューを、ここでするのはいいんだろうかと思いつつ書く。本屋で平積みされていたときに、表紙に一目ぼれして購入した。今でも時々表紙だけながめてうっとりする。色合い、目、髪、すべてが生きている。すごくいい。2022年で一番好きな表紙。レビューで真珠の耳飾りの少女のことを書いてらっしゃる方がいたが、なるほど確かに同じような角度だなと思った。表紙の女性は片耳しか耳飾りをしていなくて、裏表紙には首飾りのようなものが描かれているのだけれど、作品を読むと片耳だけの耳飾りとこの首飾りのつながりがわかる。本当にいいカバー。私はこの短編集ですっかり作者のファンになり、別作品も全巻購入してしまった。ストーリーもいいのだけれど、とにかく絵がいい。ただうまいとかきれいだとかいう絵ではなくて、なんか生きてる、動いてる絵。すごくいい。作者が細部までこだわって、工夫して描かれているのはすごく伝わってくるし、いろんな人にぜひ読んでみて！と言いたくなる作品。一番好きなのは「悪くはねえけど」。まさに「何もかもひっくるめて人生はつづく」、いい話だと思った。また、「その時がきたら」について、作者があとがきで、「何もしないということを根気強く続けることでしか表されない信頼」というようなことを書かれていて、すごくささる言葉だった。こういう作品は、思い入ればかり強くなって大した感想が書けない。でも本当によい短編集。なお、武田登竜門先生ご自身が書いてらしたのだが、「TL小説とまんがにっぽん昔話のエッセンスが随所に見える短編集」とのこと。TL小説ってどこら辺がそうなんだろう、気になった。

This review contains spoilers. I write a review of the work I bought on paper while wondering if it would be a good idea to do it here. When they were stacked flat at bookstores, I fell in love with the cover at first sight and bought it. Even now, sometimes I just look at the cover and I'm fascinated. The color, the eyes, the hair, everything is alive. Very nice. My favorite cover of 2022. There was a person who wrote about the girl with a pearl earring in the review, and I see, I thought it was definitely the same angle. The woman on the cover only wears an earring on one ear, and something like a necklace is drawn on the back cover, but when you read the work, you can see the connection between earrings with only one ear and this necklace. Really nice cover. I completely became a fan of the author because of this short story, and I bought all of the other works. The story is good, but the pictures are good anyway. It's not just a picture that's good or pretty, it's a picture of something living or moving. Very nice. It really conveys the artist's attention to detail and ingenuity, so be sure to read it to many people! It's a work I want to say. What I like the most is “not bad, though.” Exactly, I thought it was a good story about “twisting everything up and going on with life.” Also, about “when that time comes,” the author wrote something like “trust that can only be expressed by patiently continuing to do nothing,” and it was a very meaningful word. The more I think about this kind of work, the stronger I get, and I can't write much of an impression. But it's a really good short story. Note that Takeda Toryumon sensei himself wrote it, and it is “a short story where the essence of TL novels and manga Japanese folktales can be seen everywhere.” I was curious about where TL novels are like that.

よかった

That was great

きれいな絵ではないような気がするけれど、とても魅力のある絵だと思った。「大好きな妻だった」という作品が評判だったようで、それを知ってその作品だけ期待しすぎたせいもあってか、「大好きな妻だった」に関してはわりと簡単に先が読めたし、特に珍しくもない展開だと私にはおもえて、さあいい話だから泣いてくださいと言われているような気もしてあまりささらなかった。ただ、収録作すべてにいえるけれど、一コマ一コマの表現、書き込みみたいなものはすごくよくて、よく考えられていると思う。セリフで変に説明せず、ふとした絵だけでこちらの想像のはばを広げてくれるような、気づかせてくれるような、いい絵だと思えた。「10分後に警察は来た」、「楽園」、「よかったね」「悪くはねえけど」などは、さあいい話ですよといった押し付け感もなく、いい人たちのいい話でもなく、ひねりがあっておもしろいと思えた。総じて不思議な魅力のある作品たちだと思う。

I don't think it's a pretty picture, but I thought it was a very attractive picture. It seems that the work “She Was My Favorite Wife” was popular, and probably because I knew that and expected too much of that work, I was able to read the beginning rather easily about “My Favorite Wife,” and it seemed to me that it was a development that wasn't particularly unusual, and I felt like I was being told to cry because it's a good story now, so I didn't spend much time. However, as can be said for all of the recorded works, things like the expression and writing frame by frame are very good, and I think they are well thought out. I didn't explain it strangely with lines, and I thought it was a nice picture that broadened my imagination and made me notice just an accidental picture. “The police came in 10 minutes,” “paradise,” “I'm glad,” and “it's not bad,” etc., didn't feel like it was a good story, and it wasn't a good story about good people, and it was interesting because it had twists. Overall, I think these are works with a strange appeal.

……妻の単話を買い、気になってたので買いました。内容的に、青年コミックながら爽やかで、単話集なのであっという間に読み終わりました。良かったです。

... I bought a single story about My Wife, and I was curious, so I bought it. In terms of content, it's refreshing even though it's a youth comic, and since it's a collection of single episodes, I finished reading it in no time. That was great.
