上下巻

Upper and lower volumes

This review contains spoilers. DTノンケ(？)×結婚寸前破局で彼女に刺されたゲイが同棲してレスになって～のお話。“こじれる”ってこのふたりの為にある言葉だなってくらいこじれてました！対話って大事だなと思った。育児(教育)は洗脳であり、価値観アプデの話でもあった。最後は元カノも幸せになり、みんなハピエンでよかった！カミングアウトのあとの兎太家がどうなったのかが描かれてなかったので気になるけど。

This review contains spoilers. DT nonke (?) ×A story about a gay man who was stabbed by her due to a breakup on the verge of marriage living together and becoming wrestless. I was so confused that “fidget” is a word for these two! I thought dialogue was important. Childcare (education) was brainwashing, and it was also a story about value abuse. At the end, my ex-girlfriend was happy too, and I'm glad everyone was happy! It didn't depict what happened to the Uta family after coming out, so I'm curious.

上下巻だった

It was an upper and lower volume

半額で１巻を買ったつもりが、なかなかおもしろいけどこれはどう終わらすのかな？と思っていたら！！下巻に続くだった！！いそいで下巻を購入。いや～、よかったです。初コウキ。先生でしたがお話がとても面白かったです。上下巻ならではのじっくりと受け攻め両方の気持ちが表現されていたし、周りの人たちとの関係もわかりやすく絡み合っていました。これはおススメです。

I thought I bought 1 volume at half price, but it's pretty interesting, but how will this end? If you think so!! It continued in the second volume!! Hurry up and buy the second volume. No, I'm glad. First time Kouki. I was a teacher, but the story was very interesting. The feelings of both slow and aggressive, unique to the upper and lower volumes were expressed, and the relationships with the people around them were also intertwined in an easy-to-understand manner. I recommend this one.

徐々に気持ちがあふれてきます。

Feelings gradually begin to overflow.

受けは刃傷沙汰の後に攻めのお家で療養かねて同居します。だんだんと二人の気持ちが同調してきた！と思ったらそのまますれ違い！！んで、また徐々に気持ちが同調してきて・・・！！って感じです。一回読みよりは繰り返し読んだほうが良いです。何度も読むことで二人の気持ちの整理や成長が楽しめると思います。

After receiving a blade injury, they were unable to recuperate in the attacking house and live together. The feelings of the two have gradually come to tune in! If you think about it, just leave it as it is! Well, my feelings gradually became attuned again...!! It's like that. It's better to read it over and over than once. I think you can enjoy organizing and growing their feelings by reading it over and over again.

泣く〜！！

I'm crying!!

This review contains spoilers. レビューは賛否両論ありましたが、私は文句なしの星５！！泣きました。同じ会社の生亀×兎太。同棲して２年だが、現在レス。いろいろと不安な兎太と、マイペースな生亀とのラブストーリーです。時系列が、現在→過去の回想→また現在となっていて、回想の部分が結構なボリュームなのでそこがわかりづらいかも？はじめはDTで自分本位だった生亀も、兎太の躾のおかげでスパダリへ変貌し、良い男になった生亀に惚れ直す兎太が可愛かったです。ゲイの自分をなかなか受け入れられなかった兎太が、生亀と一緒にいることで自分自身を認められるようになったのがとても良かったですね。社会的に認められるようになったとはいえ、家族からの結婚や孫のプレッシャーは当たり前のようにあるし、なんだったら同居の初めはゲイの自分に付き合ってもらってるという気持ちからセッしていたので、ちゃんと自分の素直な気持ちやセクシャリティと向き合えて本当によかったです。上下巻でしっかりお話の話数もボリュームがありましたが、ラブコメ感があって読みやすかったです。末長くお幸せに！

This review contains spoilers. There were pros and cons to the review, but I have no complaints about 5 stars!! I cried. Ikame x Uta from the same company. They've been living together for 2 years, but they're currently unemployed. It's a love story between Uta, who is uneasy in many ways, and Ikame, who is self-paced. The time series is now → past recollections → present, and the recollection part has quite a volume, so maybe it's hard to understand that? At first, Ikame, who was self-oriented in DT, transformed into a spadari thanks to Uta's discipline, and Uta fell back in love with Ikame, who had become a good man, was cute. It was great that Uta, who couldn't easily accept his gay self, was able to recognize himself by being with Ikame. Even though it has come to be recognized by society, marriage and pressure from my grandchildren is commonplace, and at the beginning of living together, I had a feeling that my gay self was dating me, so I'm really glad I was able to properly face my honest feelings and sexuality. There was a lot of volume in the upper and lower volumes, but it had a romantic comedy feel and was easy to read. May you stay happy for a long time!

上下巻即座に続けて読むべき逸品

A gem that you should read the upper and lower volumes immediately and continuously

私の理解度の問題だと思うのですが途中、時系列が分からなくてちょっと？？？ってなりながら読みました。が、下巻を読んでいく内にここはこの時期でこっちはこの時期か！と納得出来ました。面白かったです。メイン二人の思考がここまで平等に扱われてるのはちょっと珍しく感じ新鮮でした(思考は大体どちらかに偏りがちなので...)そこに周りの考えも加わり、その度に読んでる側も周りと同じような目線で読むことが出来ました。オススメBLで出てきて試し読みで気になって購入したのですが大正解でした。買って良かったですありがとうございます?

I think it's a matter of my level of understanding, but along the way, I didn't understand the time series for a bit??? I read it while saying that. But as I read the second volume, this is this time of year and I wonder if this is the time of year! I was convinced. That was interesting. It was a bit unusual and refreshing that the thoughts of the two main people were treated equally up to this point (since thoughts tend to be biased towards one or the other...), the thoughts of those around them were also added to it, and each time the readers were able to read from the same perspective as those around them. It came up as a recommended BL, and I bought it because I was interested in a trial reading, but it was a great answer. I'm glad I bought it thank you so much?

なんて愛すべき二人なのでしょう・・・

What a lovable couple...

2巻まで読了済。作者様買いです。もともとキレイな作画でしたが、より丁寧で美しい作画になっていて受、攻、二人の見栄えがとても好きでした◎！！！そして、なんといってもこちらの作品はストーリーが秀逸・・・ただのいちゃラブや、ただのすれ違いものじゃなく、上下巻というちょうどよい長さでより魅せられるようなストーリーというなんとも言えないくらい良い面白さでした。もちろん、お互いには全然かみ合わず伝わっていないのですが、愛が溢れていて・・・早く気づけよ～～とか、切ない～～とかぎゅんぎゅん萌え萌えしながら読むことが出来て本当に楽しかったです。

I've read up to 2 volumes. The author is buying it. It was originally a beautiful drawing, but it was a more careful and beautiful drawing, and I really liked the way the two of them looked ◎!! Also, after all, this work has an excellent story... it was indescribably good and interesting, not just a messy love, just a passing through, but a story with just the right length of the upper and lower volumes, which made me even more captivating. Of course, they didn't mesh with each other at all, and it was really fun to be able to read it with love... notice it fast... or sad... and it was really fun.

現在、過去、過去、現在

present, past, past, present

This review contains spoilers. 生亀さんと兎太さんのラブラブもっと見たかった！2年前と高校時代と過去が長いのです。上巻の初めが下巻に繋がってくる感じで、もう少し現代編欲しかったです！！

This review contains spoilers. I wanted to see more of Ikame-san and Uta-san's lovey-dovey! It's been a long time since 2 years ago and my high school days. I felt like the beginning of the first volume was leading to the second volume, and I wanted a little more modern edition!!

良かったです

That was great

回想シーンが長くて一体どこから現在なのか、すっとばした？と不安で2巻目に入って安心しました（笑）まさにうさぎと亀のお話ですね。あんなイケメンに育った亀さん。愛ですね。二人とも本当に可愛かったー。

The recollection scene was so long that you just skipped where did it start and now? I was so anxious that I entered the second volume and was relieved (laughs) It really is a story about a rabbit and a turtle. Kame grew up to be such a handsome guy. it's love. They were both really cute.

お互いが補いあって、かけがえなくなる

They complement each other and become irreplaceable

This review contains spoilers. 感情が欠落していた攻めとゲイである自分を否定し続けた受けが互いを補いあって、ハッピーエンドに向かうまでのストーリー。よかった。いわゆる普通とか当たり前とかいう概念に圧迫されて、自分に自己暗示をかけてしまう人生って多いのだろうなと振りかえさせられました。攻めが孤独を孤独とも感じないほど鈍らせてしまっていた感情を受けとの関係を通して知っていく過程。受けがゲイである自分から目を逸らして拗らせてしまった過程。自分に自己暗示かけて生きてきたことがぐちゃぐちゃになって、2人がお互いと向き合えて、幸せを感じられてよかったー。

This review contains spoilers. The story is a story where the attack, where emotion was lacking, and the reception that continued to deny oneself as a gay complement each other, leading to a happy ending. That was great. I was pressured by so-called notions of normal or commonplace, and it made me wonder if there are many lives where people self-suggest themselves. It is a process of receiving feelings that attack dulled loneliness to the point where you don't even feel alone, and come to know it through relationships. It was a process where I took my eyes off my gay self and made me relentless. My life by implying myself became a mess, and I'm glad the two were able to face each other and feel happy.

超絶オススメ

Transcendental recommendation

This review contains spoilers. 全２巻で読み応えたっぷり。ノンケ×ゲイですが、生い立ちのせいか他人に興味のない攻めが初めて興味を持った人である受けを好きになって変わっていく、そんな物語なので違和感ありませんでした。他人に興味がない故、アラサーDTだった攻めの初エチの拙さも個人的にはツボでした?

This review contains spoilers. It's a great read with 2 volumes in total. It's nonke x gay, but there was no sense of incongruity because it's such a story where an attack without interest in others changes when they first fell in love with the person who was interested in it and changed. Since I'm not interested in anyone else, was the weakness of the first attack that was Alassah DT also a pressure point for me personally?

しみじみ愛おしい作品・・なのです?

it's a really adorable work...?

This review contains spoilers. 作家さんの画も作風もとても好き♪じっくりと育って行く２人の「愛」までの過程がとても丁寧かつ繊細に描かれていて、構成もとても上手いのです?ゲイを隠して女性と同棲・・・自分も世間も騙して生きているリーマン：兎太（うた）と、中途採用でやってきた年上の部下でモサい男：生亀（いき）との、それはそれは長～い、ドキュメンタリーのような恋の軌跡?プロローグから兎太と生亀が同棲するきっかけに遡り、更に２人が（生亀が兎太に）初めて出会ったエピソードに遡ってまたはじめに戻ってくるという楽しい手法になっていて、私には新鮮・・でした(^^一人づつの生い立ちもしっかり描かれているので、大人になってからの性格にとても納得・・・なんですよね。何故兎太が気づかい、気配りある繊細なコなのか、何故生亀が無頓着でKYな性格になったのか、などなど。そしてそれを矯正され、ようやく「兎太」という人間を理解できた生亀が・・・その成長が凄いんです✨まるでダンナ改造計画のようで見てて楽しかったです(^^そう・・やれば出来る！！なのね・・（笑）そこに行きつくまでの兎太の苦悩も、ちょっとププッと笑えて、リアルに「人と暮らす」って楽しいばかりじゃないんだよな～なんて思ったり。でもちょっと見方と考え方をガラッと変えてみれば、好転もするんだな・・・などと変なところで目鱗したり(^^;ただただBがLなだけじゃない、とても深い内容になっていて、凄く沁みました。全然ロマンティックじゃないけれど「それが２人(^^」なところもいいんですよね♪味わいのある、ステキ✨な作品でした(^^

This review contains spoilers. I really like the artist's paintings and style ♪ The process leading up to the “love” of the two people growing up slowly is depicted very carefully and delicately, and the composition is also very good? Is it a long, documentary-like love trajectory between Lehman: Uta (Uta), who lives by deceiving himself and the world, and an older subordinate: Iki (Iki) who hid his homosexuality and lives by deceiving himself and the world? From the prologue, it goes back to how Uta and Ikame cohabited, and it was a fun method of going back to the episode where the two first met (Ikame to Uta) or back to the beginning... and it was fresh for me... (^^Each person's upbringing is also well depicted, so I'm very convinced of their personality after becoming an adult... Why is Uta an observant, attentive, and delicate girl, why is Ikki so careless and has a KY personality, etc. Then it was corrected, and the live turtle was finally able to understand the person called “Uta”... its growth was amazing ✨ It was fun to watch it as if it were a danna remodeling plan (^^Yes... I can do it!! That's right... (laughs) Uta's anguish until he ended up there made me laugh a little bit, and realistically, “living with people” isn't just fun. But if I completely changed my way of looking at it and thought a little bit, I was amazed at strange places, such as turning around... etc. (^^; it's not just that B is L; it's a very deep content, and it really sinks in. It's not romantic at all, but it's also nice that “it's 2 people (^^” ♪ it was a tasteful, wonderful ✨ work (^^

ゲイとノンケの共同生活

Co-living between gays and non-gay people

上巻170P、下巻186P。付き合ってるのかと思いきや、同居する事になった理由が特殊なだけで付き合ってはいない。でも、一緒に暮らし、体の関係を持つ中で次第に惹かれていく2人。だけど、自分に劣等感のある兎太と元魔法い&育った環境のせいで鈍い生亀さんはお互いの想いとは裏腹にすれ違っていく。それでも生亀さんが全てすっ飛ばしてくれたお陰で(笑)ちゃんと話し合えて今までのあれこれの理由も分かったのは良かった！兎太がしっかり躾して生亀さんが出来る男になっていく過程を見てるのも楽しかったです！えちは局部見えない構図

The first volume is 170P, the second volume is 186P. I thought they were dating, but the reason they decided to live together was just special, and they're not dating. However, they are two people who gradually become attracted to each other as they live together and have a physical relationship. However, Uta, who has a sense of inferiority, and Ikame, who is sluggish because of the environment in which they grew up, go against each other's feelings. Even so, thanks to Ikame-san skipped everything (laughs), it was great that we were able to have a proper discussion and understand the reasons for this and that up until now! It was also fun to watch how Uta was well disciplined and became a man that Ikame-san can be! Echi is a partially invisible composition

見事な回収とコミュニケーションの奥深さ

Brilliant collection and depth of communication

なんでこうなったの、がそれぞれの視点で紐解かれ、生亀の凄まじい成長と拙さ、何事も器用にこなしてきた兎太の自己肯定感の低さで、見事なすれ違いも納得のいくストーリー。生亀が自分で気づいてがんばってきたのは自身の恋愛観・教訓につながっていて、精一杯すぎて相手のことがまた見えてなくて。レスひとつでコミュニケーションがままならず、踏み込めずな兎太、自己肯定感の低さはゲイであることが受け容れられないことが起因で…それぞれのいい所も悪いところも全部認めあった「好き」にラストは多幸感に溢れてました。

Why did this happen is unraveled from each point of view, and the story is convincing even with the amazing growth and weakness of Ikame, and Uta's low sense of self-affirmation, who has done everything dexterously. What Ikame realized on her own and did her best led to her own views on romance and lessons learned, and she went too far and couldn't see her partner again. Uta couldn't communicate with just one dress, and his low sense of self-affirmation was due to not being accepted as gay... the end was full of euphoria for “likes,” which acknowledged all of their good points and bad points.

おあずけ期間

Oazuke period

おあずけ期間1年は笑ってしまった（笑）しかもレスになってても甘々な状態。ストーリーはお互いのメンタルとか価値観の成長・アップデートという感じで最初は生活力ゼロ、気遣いポイントズレまくりのりょうさんが躾けられてイイ男度磨かれていく。後半はウタの自己否定メンタルでドツボに嵌まってた思考からりょうさんが解放してくれて晴れてハッピーエンド。取り敢えずりょうさんは努力家。

I laughed for 1 year during the crazy period (laughs) and I'm in a sweet state even when I'm wrestling. The story feels like they are growing and updating each other's mentality and values, and at first, Ryo-san, who has zero living ability, is disciplined and refined as a good man. In the second half, Ryo-san freed me from Uta's self-denial mentality and stuck in a tight spot, and it was a clear and happy ending. For the time being, Ryo-san is a hard worker.

多幸感がヤバい

The sense of euphoria is dangerous

This review contains spoilers. 想いを確かめ合うあたりからの2人が見ていて、多幸感が伝わってきます。幸せで頭が回らなくて言葉が出ない私も。愛されてるっていう自覚、後の甘いだけじゃない幸福感。すんなり思ったように物事が進まなくても、それが2人の正解でハッピーだったんだなって購入してすごくよかった。

This review contains spoilers. Two people from around where they confirm their feelings are watching, and a sense of euphoria is conveyed. I'm also so happy that my head doesn't go around and I can't get words out. The awareness of being loved is a sense of happiness that isn't just sweet later. Even if things didn't go as smoothly as I thought, it was the right answer for the two of them and they were happy, so I'm so glad I bought it.

ハッピーエンドで良かった(*´ω｀*)

I'm glad it had a happy ending (*'ω`*)

ゲイを隠していた兎太と、ノンケの筈なのに兎太が気になって仕方ないリョウ。以前まさかのあの時にあっていた二人。同じ職場になって、最初はもさっとしていたリョウがイメチェンしたらまさかのイケメンですよ(笑)そして、兎太は結婚直前の相手とまさかの破局から、リョウとの同居までの流れる様なテンポにびっくりしながらも、いつしか二人の気持ちが無意識的な両片想いになっていましたね。でも、二人の気持ちが行き違いがあって二人の間がギクシャクしていたので、大丈夫かなぁ?と思いましたが、ちゃんとお互い話し合い気持ちも隠さないでいって両想いになって、ほろりときてしまいました。お互い意外と不器用だったのね。でも、内面的に成長しながら二人がくっついて安心しました。見ていてオカンの様な気持ちを抱いてました(笑)2冊になっていたから、お互いの人となりや気持ちの移り変わりだったりが、丁寧に描かれていてとにかく作品自体を楽しむ事ができました。

Uta, who was hiding his homosexuality, and Ryo is worried about Uta even though he's supposed to be nonke. They were two people who had met before that unexpected time. Now they're in the same workplace, and when Ryo, who had been quick at the beginning, made an impression (laughs), and while Uta was surprised at the tempo that flowed from her sudden breakup with her partner just before marriage to living together with Ryo, at some point, the two of them became unconscious unrequited love between them. But there was a misunderstanding between the two of them and the space between them was jittery, so I wonder if it's okay? I thought about it, but we had proper discussions with each other and didn't hide our feelings, and we both fell in love, and we felt at ease. We were both surprisingly clumsy. But I was relieved that the two stuck together while growing internally. I felt like Okan when I was looking at it (laughs), so I was able to enjoy the work itself anyway, because the characters and changes in each other's feelings were carefully drawn.

前後巻一気読みがおすすめ！

I recommend reading the first and second volumes at once!

拗らせ両片思い同性大人カップル（盛りだくさん）なのでもどかし〜！！！となる瞬間が沢山あるんですが、それがまた良いっ ̫ -˘（笑）ちょこちょこ挟んでくるコミカルな要素がコウキ。先生らしさが出ていて大好きです♡前後巻バラバラに読んだ時は疑問があったシーンも、改めて時系列を整理して読むとスッキリ&てぇてぇが募るので、前後巻読んで一気に読むか改めて読み返すと良いかもしれません(^.^)

They're a same-sex adult couple (lots of them) with relentless unrequited love, so get away!!! There are a lot of moments where that happens, and that's good too! (lol) The comical elements that come in between are amazing. I love it because it shows the character of a teacher ♡ Even scenes where I had doubts when I read the front and back volumes separately, if you organize the time series and read them again, you will be refreshed and invited, so it might be a good idea to read the front and back volumes and read them all at once or reread them again (^.^)
