少女漫画のような

Like a girls' manga

This review contains spoilers. 絵柄も相まってか少女漫画のような丁寧なお話です。最初はキャラの見分けがつかなかったが、段々と分かってきました。登場人物の心情などが詳細に語られグッとストーリーに引き込まれる。エロシーンはありませんが、2巻には主人公2人のこれからの展開の伏線のような絡みがありドキドキしました。

This review contains spoilers. Coupled with the design, it's a careful story like a girls' manga. At first, I couldn't tell the characters apart, but I gradually got to know them. The feelings of the characters are told in detail, and you are drawn right into the story. There are no erotic scenes, but I was thrilled that volume 2 was entangled like a foreshadowing of the future development of the two main characters.

静か～に進んでる

It's progressing quietly

学園物でエロは無いけれど教室の中の空気感とか人の感情の揺れとか友達との関係性が丁寧に画かれていて感情移入がしやすかったです。

It's a school thing and there's no eroticism, but the atmosphere in the classroom, the fluctuation of people's emotions, and relationships with friends were carefully drawn, so it was easy to empathize.

青春ｽﾄｰﾘｰ

Seishun Story

１巻だけ読みました。『こいものがたり』ﾀｲﾄﾙそのままのお話ですね。心境が事細かく語られてるので分かりやすく、ｹﾞｲの高校生の葛藤がﾘｱﾙに感じられました。ただ、絵が似てるので誰が誰だか分からない時が多々あります。混乱します。

I've only read volume 1. It's a story just like the “Koi Monogatari” title, isn't it? The state of mind was explained in detail, so it was easy to understand, and I felt the conflict of a high school student in real. However, since the pictures are similar, there are many times when you don't know who is who. It's confusing.

とにかく。

anyway.

切な過ぎて感情移入しちゃうとヤバイかもです?ぶっちゃけ一巻がずーっともやもやが長過ぎて何度も挫折してしまいずっと読まず放置していた作品でした。でも2巻から動きが出始めたので段々興味が出てきた所で⁉続く、、、。はー。早く続き読みたいです。笑

maybe it's dangerous if they're too sad and empathize with it? Volume 1 of Butchake was a work that was so hazy that I was frustrated over and over again, so I didn't read it for a long time. But since it started moving from volume 2, I gradually became interested ⁉ continues... huh. I want to continue reading soon. lol

甘酸っぱい

sweet and sour

(今は)BLというより青春友情もの(今は)。ゲイというマイノリティに悩む男子高校生と、その周りの友達がカッコイイ！あー青春だなー甘酸っぱいなー。女の子も女子の好きな女子、という感じ。BLの世界で唯一許される女子(笑)個人的に唯司のキレるシーンが、カッコイイしスッキリするし好き。絵がすごく綺麗で、読んでて目が幸せ。次巻からお話が動きそうなので楽しみです。

(Right now) youth friendship stuff (now) rather than BL. The male high school student who suffers from the gay minority and his friends around him are so cool! ah, it's youth, it's sweet and sour. I feel like girls are girls that girls like too. The only girl allowed in the BL world (laughs) Personally, I like Yuiji's sharp scenes because they're cool and refreshing. The pictures are so beautiful, and my eyes are happy when I read them. The story seems to unfold from the next volume, so I'm looking forward to it.

青春模様

Seishun pattern

This review contains spoilers. たぶん、ゲイの子×ノンケの子（表紙の茶髪×黒髪）です。なぜ「たぶん」かというと、現在の２巻まででBL的展開がほぼ無いからです。ボーイズはたくさんいるのですが、ラブってないです。かなり丁寧に物語が進んでいて、恋愛的展開は３巻以降となるようです。ストーリーは面白いです。ただ、２巻で出てきたヒールにかなり苛つきました。手痛い目に遭えばいいのにと思いますが無さそうですし、そいつの言動の矛盾点について小一時間指摘したいくらい脳内に文句が溢れましたが、そういった読者の不満を作品内の誰かが代弁してくれそうな気配もありません。そこがかなりモヤモヤイライラしました。ですが続きは気になるので、３巻が出たら買うと思います。再度となりますがストーリーは面白いのです。絵柄は、好き嫌いが別れるかもしれません。少し、表情やタッチが硬いです。登場人物がかなり多いですが、それぞれの性格にきちんと個性があります。ただし見た目の描き分けはやや微妙です。ストーリー重視でゆっくりとキャラクターの心情を追いかけたい方は合っていると思います。

This review contains spoilers. It's probably a gay kid x a nonke kid (brown hair x black hair on the cover). The reason for “probably” is that there is almost no BL development up to the current 2 volumes. There are a lot of boys, but they don't have love. The story progresses quite carefully, and it seems that the romantic development will be from volume 3 onwards. The story is interesting. However, I was quite annoyed by the heels that came out in volume 2. I wish I could get in trouble, but there doesn't seem to be any, and complaints overflowed in my brain that I wanted to point out the contradictions in that guy's words and actions for an hour, but there's no sign that anyone in the work would speak for such readers' dissatisfaction. That was pretty confusing and frustrating. However, I'm worried about the continuation, so I think I'll buy volume 3 when it comes out. Once again, the story is interesting. There may be differences between likes and dislikes about the design. The expression and touch are a bit stiff. There are quite a few characters, but each personality has its own personality. However, the visual differentiation is slightly subtle. I think it's suitable for those who focus on the story and want to slowly follow the character's feelings.

群像劇的な

Dramatic group

青春時代の群像劇的な話。文字が多くて小説っぽい？２巻まで読んで、BLって感じはしない。性的マイノリティが多く絡んでくるけど、基本的に若い頃や学生時代に誰もが感じた迷いや不安が描かれてる感じです。絵がキレイ。

A dramatic story of youth group images. Are there so many characters that it looks like a novel? I've read up to 2 volumes, and it doesn't feel like BL. There are many sexual minorities involved, but it basically depicts the hesitation and anxiety that everyone felt when they were young or when they were students. The picture is beautiful.

んーー

Hmm

絵がキレイだったし、お試しを読んで購入しました。ゲイに気付いた自分とその友達、思春期である高校生の感情を細やかに描いてていいなと思う部分はありましたが、特に何も無いままというか、抑揚が無い。1巻の感想は…丸ごとプロローグ？長っ…です。お試し部分からストーリーはほぼ進まないので途中からだんだん疲れてきました。2巻は買わないだろうな。最終話だけ覗けないかしら。皆さんレビューがあまりに高いので…また思い出した頃に熟読してみようかな。読み込むと評価が変わるのかな。ここまでが1巻読了後感想でした。ごめんなさい。評価するには我慢が足りてませんでした。イイね下さってた方もすみません。先日半額クーポンで購入本を探していた時、皆様のあまりの高評価につられ、2巻購入を決めました。2巻良かったです。元々絵は綺麗だと思ってましたしね。BLらしい絡みとかはないし、BLだとあまり思わず見た方がいいですね。青春群像劇って感じ。ゆっくり丁寧に友情や、恋、自分のアイデンティティに悩む若者達の様子を描かれてて、彼らの様子を見守りたくなりました。リアルを追求して、恋人にはなり得ないお話かもしれませんが、唯司と大和に上手くいってほしいです。2巻は★5でした。1巻は★3でしたので、総合★4に変更しました。3巻期待してます。

The picture was beautiful, and I read the trial before buying it. There was a part where I thought it would be nice to depict in detail the feelings of myself, my friends, and high school students who are in adolescence, but there is nothing in particular, or rather, there is no intonation. What are your impressions of volume 1... the whole prologue? it's been a long time... The story hardly progressed from the trial part, so I gradually got tired from the middle. I don't think I'll buy volume 2. I wonder if I can just take a peek at the last episode. Everyone's reviews are so high... maybe I'll read it carefully when I remember it again. I wonder if the evaluation will change when I load it. This is my impression after reading volume 1. I'm sorry. I didn't have enough patience to evaluate it. I'm also sorry for those who said it was nice. When I was looking for books to buy with a half price coupon the other day, I was so highly praised by everyone that I decided to buy 2 volumes. Volume 2 was good. I originally thought the picture was beautiful. There's no such thing as a BL entanglement, and if it's BL, it's better to watch it without thinking too much. It feels like a youth group drama. It slowly and carefully depicts young people struggling with friendship, love, and their own identity, and I wanted to keep an eye on them. It may be a story where they pursue reality and can't become lovers, but I want Yuiji and Yamato to get along well. Volume 2 was ★ 5. Volume 1 was ★ 3, so I changed it to overall ★ 4. I'm looking forward to volume 3.

I've been looking forward to volume 2 coming out, so I'm happy!! I am moved to watch Yoshinaga-kun grow little by little, after being saved by an understanding friend. Yoshinaga's sister is also a nice character and I really like it! I love the people around Yoshinaga! Yoshinaga-kun is an awesome guy too. I'm worried about the continuation ~. it's going to be Yuji after all..

It's for students. I bought it without knowing it was a sequel, and to be honest, it seems like volume 1 has hardly progressed... However, the story is solid, the cute design makes it easy to reread, and expectations are high for future developments (^^)

まだBLになって無い以前の

Before it wasn't BL yet

お話です。読み進めて行ったら終わってて、アレ？って。引き込まれてたんだなぁ、って思いました。主人公２人はまだまだまだ何も無くて、やっと友情が始まってお互いを少しずつ知って一歩を踏み出したばかり。２人の間にちょっとした爆弾落ちた所で一冊目は終了。今後、どうなって行くのかシンプルに気になる。主人公２人については、唯司君のほうには彼女がいます、彼女持ち苦手な方はお気をつけ下さい！大和君は意外にもタチでした。こんな２人がどうやって恋愛に発展して行くのか…本当、シンプルに気になる。唯司君のセリフにあるけど、大和君にはちゃんと幸せな恋愛を経験して欲しいなぁ。痛い思いもする幸せな恋愛。やっぱり、恋愛って幸せなだけじゃ無いのが普通だからさ。この作品はすごくすごく心を使う作品です。シリアスというより重い。重すぎる。悩みすぎるし、読み手にもそれを強いてくる。強要とまで行かないけど引きずり込まれて飲み込まれそうになる。なので、覚悟して読まれる事をオススメ致します。

It's a story. read on and it's over, is that it? I mean. I thought I was drawn in. The two main characters still have nothing left, and their friendship has finally begun and they have just taken the first step by getting to know each other little by little. The first book ended when a small bomb fell between the two of them. I'm simply curious about what will happen in the future. As for the two main characters, Yuiji has a girlfriend, so please be careful if you don't like having a girlfriend! Surprisingly, Yamato was tough. How do these two people develop into a love affair... really, I'm simply curious. It's in Yuiji's line, but I want Yamato to have a proper and happy love experience. A happy love affair that also hurts. After all, being in a relationship isn't just about being happy, it's normal. This work is a work that uses a lot of heart. It's heavier than serious. It's too heavy. It bothers me too much, and it forces readers to do it too much. They don't go so far as to be coerced, but they are dragged in and almost swallowed up. Therefore, I recommend that you be prepared to read it.

じっくり描いていて良い。３巻くらいでまとめる予定だそうでまだ続きます。ゲイに後ろめたさを抱えてるとか、「ふつう」を悩んでみたり、男子の騒がしい様子は楽しいです。ゲイである佐倉くんの登場が嵐となるのか希望となるのか図りかねる終わり方の１巻です。

It's good to draw carefully. It seems that they are planning to put it together in about 3 volumes, and it's still going on. It's fun to see boys making noise, such as being ashamed of gays or worrying about “normal.” This is volume 1 of How it ends when the appearance of Sakura-kun, who is gay, becomes a storm or a source of hope.
