迷ってたら読んだ方がいい

If you're at a loss, you should read it

ありがちな作品だろうと思ってたら違いました。人物の心情がしっかり描かれていて、良くある都合の良さが鼻につく転生ものとは別物です。主人公をなぜ周辺キャラ達が愛すのか、よく分かります。

It was different when I thought it would be a common work. The feelings of the characters are clearly depicted, and it is different from reincarnation where a common sense of convenience sticks to the nose. I understand very well why the surrounding characters love the main character.

アニメとは一味違う

It's a bit different from anime

This review contains spoilers. 先生が強いのがよくわかるし、ハーレムだけどちゃんと弟子、師匠の区切りもあり嫌じゃない。アニメはそれしか知らないならありかもしれないが、コミックみちゃうと薄く感じます。

This review contains spoilers. I know very well that teachers are strong, and even though it's a harem, there is a proper separation between apprentices and mentors, so I don't dislike it. If you know that's all you know about anime, it might be possible, but when you watch comics, it feels weak.

田舎のおっさん、最強伝説の幕開け！

Countryside Old Man: The Beginning of the Strongest Legend!

田舎でのんびり道場の師範をして暮らしていた中年男が実は伝説の剣聖の再来だったｰｰそんなギャップに心を掴まれる現在アニメ放送中の『片田舎のおっさん剣聖になる』のコミカライズ版。ひとたび剣を握れば敵なしの「化け物」っぷり。アニメ版よりも派手でさらに奥深い戦闘描写と、どこか親しみのあるおっさんの人柄が絶妙にマッチし、読み進める手が止まりません（マジで）。若者にはない渋さと経験値、そしてちょっぴり不器用な優しさに多くの読者が共感すること間違いなし。王道ながらも新鮮な［おっさん✕最強］の物語。いまこそチェックすべき一作です。（アニメで興味もった人は絶対に読んだほうがいいです！）

A middle-aged man who lived as a laid-back dojo teacher in the countryside was actually the return of the legendary Kensei — a comicalized version of “Old Man in the Country Becomes Kensei,” which is currently being broadcast as an anime that is currently being broadcast. Once you hold a sword, there are plenty of “monsters” with no enemies. The battle depiction, which is flashy and even more profound than the anime version, matches perfectly with the personality of an old man who is somewhat familiar, and I can't stop reading on (seriously). There is no doubt that many readers will sympathize with the reluctance, experience points, and slightly clumsy kindness that young people don't have. A classic yet fresh [old man ✕ strongest] story. This is one film you should check out now. (If you're interested in anime, you should definitely read it!)

アニメ化もした人気作品

Popular works that have also been animated

アニメから知った人も居ると思うけど、私は漫画版の方が面白いと思ってます。キャラそれぞれの個性と魅力がちゃんとあって、動きも良い。戦闘シーンも魅力的でかっこいいですね。新キャラも続々と出てきてますし、新刊が楽しみになります。

I think there are people who know it from anime, but I think the comic version is more interesting. Each character has their own personality and appeal, and they move well. The battle scenes are also fascinating and cool. New characters are coming out one after another, and I'm looking forward to the new issue.

全然ハーレムじゃない件

It's not a harem at all

This review contains spoilers. ベリルの愛弟子にやたら美少女が多いのは確かにそう。ベリルが弟子たちに悉く敬愛されてるのもそう。だが、脊髄反射で「ハーレムだ」と決めつけるのは違う。まずもってベリルは弟子である彼女たちへ親目線に近い「師弟愛」しか向けておらず、性的な興味を全く抱いていない。弟子の美少女たちも師匠ベリルへ敬愛の念をもって接しているのが殆どで、ガチの(重すぎる)恋愛感情を向けているのはアリューシアのみ。これのどこがハーレムかと問いたい。あと、ランドリドやバルデルなど男性の弟子もちゃんと描かれている。副騎士団長ヘンブリッツや冒険者ギルドのメイゲン、ポルタ、魔術師学院のファウステスなど多くの男性キャラもベリルの実力に一目置いて尊敬しており、女性キャラのみにモテモテというわけではないことも言い添えておく。

This review contains spoilers. It certainly seems that there are so many beautiful girls among Beryl's beloved disciples. It is also true that Beryl is greatly adored by his disciples. However, deciding “it's a harem” based on spinal reflexes is different. First of all, Beryl only directs “teacher-pupil love,” which is close to her parents' point of view, to her disciples, and she has no sexual interest at all. Most of the beautiful girls who are apprentices also treat their mentor Beryl with respect, and only Aleucia has serious (too heavy) romantic feelings. I want to ask what part of this is Harlem. Also, male apprentices such as Landrido and Bardel are properly depicted. Many male characters, such as Deputy Knight Commander Hemblitz, Megen and Porta from the Adventurers' Guild, and Faustesse of the Magicians' Academy, are also respected by putting Beryl's abilities at a glance, and I'll add that they are not only popular with female characters.

This review contains spoilers. オッサン世代の一人として、活躍が誇らしい。テレビ放送もはじまり、何度も見返しているところです!弟子たちとの関係性も気になり、今後の展開も期待しています。

Anyway, it's fun. Mr. Berrell has been misunderstood, and his self-evaluation is too low, so it makes his students smile that they want to do something about it

It was made into an anime and I was curious about the continuation, so I read it all at once until the latest edition! It was interesting, and I was convinced of the reason for its popularity ✨ I'm glad that the episodes for each character were well drawn!

映像化もされましたが、断然こちら。

It was also made into a video, but definitely here it is.

改めてコミカライズ版の出来の素晴らしさがよく分かります。声が付いて人物が動くのは良いのですが、コミカライズ版での描写が余計に素晴らしい事に気づきました。映像版見た後で物足りなくなってコミック読み返してようやく満足する状態です。

Once again, I can clearly see how wonderful the comicalized version is. It's nice that the characters move with voices, but I've noticed that the depiction in the comicalized version is extra wonderful. After watching the video version, I wasn't satisfied, and after rereading the comic, I'm finally satisfied.

片田舎のおっさん、剣聖になる〜

An old man from the countryside becomes Kensei ~

軽はずみで読み始めたが、主人公の人柄が良く弟子達にも人望があり、何より腕が立ち強いところが魅力。まだ読んでない方にもオススメです。感動的な部分も多いです。

I started reading it lightly, but the fact that the main character has a good personality, is popular among his disciples, and above all else, the fact that he has strong skills is attractive. I also recommend it to those who haven't read it yet. There are also many moving parts.

原作とはまたひと味違う面白さ

Fun that is a bit different from the original

This review contains spoilers. 原作読んでから漫画を見始めましたが、面白かった！所々原作とは違いましたが大筋はおおきく変わらずに一キャラクターごとのバックストーリーが追加されていたりと細かい変更が多い印象です。ただ教頭が発狂しない別ルートの話が見れたのは驚いた。教頭ってあんなキャラだったのか……

This review contains spoilers. I started watching comics after reading the original story, and it was fun! It was different from the original in some places, but the general story hasn't changed much, and I have the impression that there are many detailed changes, such as adding a backstory for each character. However, I was surprised to see a story about another route where the vice-principal didn't go crazy. I wonder if the vice-principal was that kind of character...

原作と違ってキャラの深堀りやそもそもキャラが違っていたりしていますがそれが内容をより良くしていると思いました。

Unlike the original story, there is a deep dive into the characters and the characters are different in the first place, but I thought that made the content even better.

やっば！面白い！オッサンの自己評価よ笑

yay! It's interesting! it's an old man's self-evaluation lol

オッサンのキャラクターが最高です。自己評価低い系はなんていうか、読んでてイライラすることが多いのですが、あまり気にならなかった！すごい！ありきたりですが、出てくるキャラクターが全て魅力的です。敵側のキャラクターにも仲間意識や背景があるのだけど、それがなんかウザくないストーリーで、某ピース的な友情ものに成り下がってないのが素晴らしいです。一気に読んでしまったので、また続きが楽しみな漫画が増えてしまいました

The old man character is the best. I'm often frustrated when I read the series with a low self evaluation, but I didn't really care about it! That's amazing! It's common, but all of the characters that appear are fascinating. The characters on the enemy side also have camaraderie and backgrounds, but it's a story that isn't annoying, and it's great that it doesn't turn into a kind of peaceful friendship. I read it all at once, so the number of comics I'm looking forward to continuing has increased

えっ、何でだろう

Eh, I wonder why

見た目普通のおじさん。冴えないおじさん。なのに剣を持った時のかっこよさよ。目が変わる、雰囲気が変わる。ただそれだけであれ？何でだろう？カッコ良すぎて信者になりそう！一巻買って面白くて結局最新刊の6巻まで一気買い！立ち読みでハマった方はその感は当たりです！ぜひ一巻だけでも最後まで読んでください！沼ります。

A normal looking old man. The dull old man. But it's so cool when you hold a sword. The eyes change, the atmosphere changes. Is that all? I wonder why? It's so cool that I'm going to become a believer! It was fun to buy one volume, and I ended up buying up to the latest 6 volumes all at once! If you are addicted to standing reading, that feeling is right! Be sure to read all the way to the end, even if it's just one volume! There will be a swamp.

おもしろい

entertaining

おっさんがこれだけ強いのに何故自分の強さに気付かなあのか(自分ダメだと思ってるのか)は疑問。豪剣と一戦交える時とか、すごいと認めてる相手に勝ってるのに。今後解明されるのを楽しみに。タコとかでたり周りの人のゾクリ具合でおっさんのすごさを描写されるのが上手いというか好きです。

Even though the old man is this strong, I wonder why he is aware of his own strength (he thinks he's no good). Even though they beat opponents they acknowledged were amazing, like when they had a fight with a great sword. I'm looking forward to the clarification in the future. I rather like being able to depict the awesomeness of old men with octopuses and the people around them in a way that is amazing.
