I am transfixed.

The art and paneling create such palpable tension... the expressions from vulnerability to intensity between the two leads. The yearning and desire to connect between them is painful yet delicious. It's also just hilarious too. I freaking love this series and cannot wait to read more.

I would classify this as josei, if I had to guess. The art is not as fluffy, but there is a certain vulnerability in the depiction of ML later that makes me think this has too strong of a female gaze to have a seinen demographic. My notifications are On.

Why stop at the good part?!

This is as frustrating as it is funny. I really do hope he starts being blunt with her or else this will be a loooong story. They need to work on communication. Dense MCs are annoying to me but I really want to see how this turns out.

weird SA vibes from lack of communication. imo would not recommend to others— not finished but not optimistic where it’s going

行っただけ

I just went

ほかの方も書いてるけど、タイトルが悪い！純愛です。続きがめっちゃ気になる。11話まで来て、まだ二人、やってない。TLにあるまじき進展具合です。ストーリーがちゃんとしてるので、恋愛漫画としてぜんぜんありです。

Other people have written it, but the title is bad! It's pure love. I'm really worried about the continuation. It's up to episode 11, and the two haven't done it yet. Serious progress is being made in TL. The story is right, so it's perfect as a romance comic.

今までにいないタイプ女の子

The type of girl that has never been seen before

女の子は天然の向こう側くらい天然で、ぶりっ子的な可愛さなどなくとても好感が持てるキャラクターです。2人は幼馴染で男の子は女の子しか眼中にないけど、女の子が天然過ぎてうまく行かず歯痒い事が多い。クスリとした笑いも判断で久しぶりに面白い漫画に出会えて嬉しいです。

Girls are natural on the other side of nature, and they are very likable characters with no flirty cuteness. The two are childhood friends, and boys only have an eye for girls, but girls are too natural and don't go well, and my teeth are often itchy. I'm happy to be able to come across an interesting comic for the first time in a long time, based on judging by the laughter I had in a long time.

奇想天外

Whimsical

This review contains spoilers. ヒロインの奇想天外な言動にハマりそうです、あ、そっちいっちゃうの？！って振り回されてるヒーローが可哀そうでありもっと見たい気がする、おもしろい作品です☆

This review contains spoilers. they seem to be addicted to the heroine's bizarre words and actions, ah, that's all?! It's an interesting work where the hero being swayed seems pitiful and I feel like I want to see more ☆

かすみと蛍の関係性が良かった

The relationship between haze and fireflies was good

近づきそうで全く近づかない、かすみの天然ぶりが面白い。蛍の気持ちが空回りしてしまうところ、かわいそうだけど次が見たくなる。

The natural blurring of haze, which seems to come close and doesn't come close at all, is interesting. It's a pity where the firefly's feelings go round in vain, but it makes me want to see the next one.

素敵な作品です。

It's a wonderful work.

作者さん買いです。花純ちゃんは、とても個性的な女の子ですが、男友達の蛍くんもまぁまぁ個性的な子で（笑）会うべきして会った2人ですが、そんな2人が恋に落ちていく様子が、とても細やかに丁寧に描かれていて、とっても素敵な作品です。きゅんきゅんします。テンポもいいし、クスッと笑える場面もあり、早く続きが読みたいです。

The author is buying it. Hanazumi-chan is a very unique girl, but her male friend Hotaru-kun is also a pretty unique kid (laughs), and they are two people who met because they should have met, and it's a very detailed and careful depiction of how these two fall in love, and it's a very wonderful work. I'm going to keep going. The tempo is good, and there are some laughable scenes, so I want to read more soon.

うつくしいが似合う漫画

A comic that is beautiful but looks good

人と人とが交わりあううつくしさ、限りある全ての生きとし生けるものへの畏敬の念が感じられる作品。素晴らしい。

It is a work where you can feel the beauty of people interacting with each other, and a sense of awe for all living things that are limited. great.

美しすぎ

It's too beautiful

最新話ヤバいです泣ける蛍、花純の子ども時代から、現在までのつながりが絶妙すぎて好きすぎるの一言です…泣ける話だなんて聞いてない…

The latest episode is Dangerous: Crying Firefly, it's a phrase I like too much because the connection from Hanazumi's childhood to the present is so exquisite... I haven't heard that it's a story that makes you cry...

花と蛍

Flowers and fireflies

最新作で主題のメタファーが顕になった。余白で考えさせられるタイプの漫画はあまり多くないけど、これはそういう種類の作品です。文学的な内容に反して今どきなタイトルの印象がとても軽くて、でもそれが隠れ蓑みたいになって、逆にこのお話を見つけられた人間にとってはより特別感を掻き立てられる。続きが楽しみな、大好きな漫画です。

The metaphor of the theme came to light in the latest work. There aren't many comics that make you think with margins, but this is that kind of work. Contrary to the literary content, the impression of the modern title is very light, but it seems like a cover, and conversely, it stirs up an even more special feeling for people who have found this story. It's a comic I love that I'm looking forward to continuing.

おもしろすぎてニヤける

It's so funny it makes me grin

どっちもこちらの斜め上をいく思考回路してくるからビックリ&面白さでいやはや笑えます。蛍の方がまともかと思いきやさすが花純といられるだけありますね、お前もそうくるかと奇想天外が普通になってきます笑あーおもしろい！どうなるか楽しみ！

Both of them follow a thought circuit that goes diagonally above here, so it's surprising and fun, and it's kind of funny. I thought fireflies would be more decent, but I was only able to say Hanazumi, and whimsical heaven became normal wondering if you would do that too lol lol that's funny! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

ラストまで読みます。

I'll read until the end.

This review contains spoilers. 花純はよく言えば個性的、悪く言えば変人、人を疑うことを知らず、人間の行動も虫の生態に当てはめて考えるからおかしくなる。でもそんな花純を幼い時から見守り、ほっておけない蛍。今でこそイケメンで良い所育ちで頭もいいモテ男だけど、幼い時は異常に潔癖で神経質な子どもだったようだ…大人は良かれと思って大人の感覚で知識を教えようとするけど、幼い神経にそれは怖い刺激となる場合もあるんだなぁ〜その感覚を変えてくれたのが花純だったらしい。花純も気づいてないけど、蛍には心身を許してる、蛍に触れられるのは嫌ではないというのを実感してる。それが好きと言う特別の感情であることにいつ気づくのかな…花純という人物の描き方は極端だけど、だからこそこの作品は面白いのだと思う。

This review contains spoilers. To put it better, Hanazumi is unique; to put it worse, he is a freak, doesn't know how to doubt people, and he also thinks about human behavior by applying it to the ecology of insects, so it's strange. But Firefly has been watching over Hanazumi since she was young and can't be left alone. Nowadays, he's a good-looking guy who grew up in a good place and is smart, but when he was young, he seems to have been an abnormally clean and nervous kid... adults think it would be good and try to teach knowledge with an adult's sense, but it can also be a scary stimulus for young nerves ~ it seems like it was Hanazumi who changed that feeling. Even though Hanazumi isn't aware of it, she realizes that she forgives fireflies mentally and physically, and that she doesn't hate being touched by fireflies. I wonder when they realize that it's a special feeling of liking... The way the character Hanazumi is drawn is extreme, but I think that's why this work is interesting.

天然花純ちゃん!!

Natural flower jun-chan!

まだまだ恋とか愛とかほど遠い関係何だけと螢とはずっと一緒に居て欲しい。いつかお互いが好きな気持ちを分かち合えたら嬉しいなぁと思う。螢君は、これからも苦悩が続くのかも知れないけど……。頑張れ螢君！！

A relationship that's still far from love or love, and I just want them to stay with Hotaru for a long time. I think it would be great if one day we could share our feelings of love with each other. Hotaru-kun may continue to suffer from now on, but... Hang in there, Hotaru-kun!

すごく面白い

Very interesting

考え方が斜め上ですごく面白いです。虫にしか興味がなく、人に全く興味がないからこその思考回路が面白くて何度も読み返していました。絵柄も好みですごく素敵でした。

The way of thinking is oblique and it's really interesting. I'm only interested in bugs, and since I'm not interested in people at all, the thought circuit was interesting, and I reread it over and over again. I also liked the design and it was very nice.

蛍がかわいい

Fireflies are cute

蛍がイケメンなのにヒロインに振り回されているのがかわいいです。ヒロインの天然のボケに対するツッコミも秀逸。これからの2人の関係性がどうなっていくのかが楽しみです。

Even though Hotaru is a handsome guy, it's cute to be swayed around by the heroine. The heroine's response to natural blur is also excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing what the relationship between the two will look like in the future.

題名が勿体無い！面白いから見てほしい！！

The title is ridiculous! I want you to watch it because it's interesting!!

主人公の女の子好きです。虫好きさんで、ちょっと普通の女の子達とは思考回路が違います。純粋というか擦れてなくて、言動もおもしろい。主人公にずっと恋してるハイスペ幼馴染の男の子は大変でしょうね。主人公に恋を自覚してもらうまで、めっちゃ大変そうだけど、ぜひ諦めずに頑張ってほしいです！！

I like the main character, the girl. They like bugs, and their thought line is slightly different from normal girls. It's pure, or rather unscathed, and the words and actions are interesting. It must be difficult for a boy who is a high sper childhood friend who has always been in love with the main character. It seems really difficult until the main character realizes his love, but I definitely want them to do their best without giving up!!
