青春群像劇

Seishun group drama

ゲイの子を中心とした青春群像劇。楽しかったり苦しかったり丁寧に描かれていて読み応え抜群です。２巻は何度読んでも涙してしまいます。早く続きが読みたい

A youth group drama centered around gay children. The fun and pain are carefully drawn, and the readability is excellent. No matter how many times I read volume 2, I'm in tears. I want to read the continuation soon

恋

love

This review contains spoilers. 恋には答えがなくて葛藤してる様子が忠実に表現されててめちゃくちゃ面白かったです！続きの3巻も楽しみに待ちたいなと思わせてくれる作品です。

This review contains spoilers. It was insanely interesting because it faithfully expressed how they were in conflict because there were no answers to love! It's a work that makes me want to look forward to the next 3 volumes.

ありがとう

thanks

This review contains spoilers. 答えのない難しい問題、心の葛藤や悩み、狭い学校っていうコミュニティでの闘いを、リアルに、でもどこか儚げに描かれています。3巻待ってます。

This review contains spoilers. It depicts difficult unanswered questions, emotional conflicts and worries, and struggles in a small school community in a realistic but somewhat ephemeral way. I'm waiting for volume 3.

読みごたえあり！

It's a great read!

This review contains spoilers. 素晴らしい〜！なかなか無い没入感でした。ページ数もさることながら、字が多めでかなり読みごたえあります。たくさんのモノローグは悩み多き年頃の子たちの複雑な思いが溢れているし、たくさんの台詞は「伝え合うことが大事」というメッセージのようです。大和の周りの子達が本当に良い子ばかり。皆それぞれ悩み傷つき、そして信じ合い、緩やかに進んでいく物語…等身大でリアルです。リアルに毒のある子も出てきます。２巻まで拝読した限りでは「大和がゲイである」ということがBL要素なのかな。この先どうなっていくのか、本当に気になります！個人的には関くん推しですが、関くんは受って感じではないから大和とは無いな〜…とか、色々妄想しつつ、３巻を楽しみに待ちます。

This review contains spoilers. awesome~! It was an unbelievable sense of immersion. In addition to the number of pages, it has a lot of characters and is quite satisfying to read. A lot of monologues are overflowing with the complicated thoughts of children in their troubled age, and many of the lines seem to be messages saying “it's important to communicate with each other.” The kids around Yamato are all really nice kids. It's a story where everyone is worried and hurt, believes each other, and progresses slowly... it's life-size and realistic. There are also children who are actually poisonous. As far as I've read up to 2 volumes, the fact that “Yamato is gay” is probably a BL element. I'm really curious to see what's going to happen in the future! Personally, I recommend Seki-kun, but I'm looking forward to volume 3 while being delusional about various things, such as Seki-kun doesn't feel like it has been accepted...

続きはあるのですか？

Is there more?

中々難しい問題を慎重に描いていると思います。コレからどうなっていくのかが、面白いと考えていますが、続きはあるのですか？あるならはやく読みたいです。

I think it carefully depicts a rather difficult problem. I think it's interesting to see what happens after this, but is there anything more? If there is one, I'd like to read it quickly.

濃い、恋、リアル

intense, love, real

すごく読めるお話。面白かったです、完結してから読みたかったけど、読んでしまいました。ものすごく間があいてるんですが、3巻でこいものがたりって、先生宣言してらっしゃる！早めに読みたいです。オリンピック並みです笑。出ますよね？

It's a very readable story. It was interesting, I wanted to read it after I finished it, but I ended up reading it. There's a tremendous amount of time between them, but the teacher declared that this is a story in volume 3! I want to read it early. it's just like the Olympics lol. It's coming out, right?

This is a sequel, right?

すごい丁寧に心情が描かれてます！読むの結構疲れました笑かなり現実的なお話です！いろいろぐるぐる迷って、間違って、誰かを想って想われて、成長してるキャラクター達がみんなリアルでした！これ続編でますよね？出ないとずっとモヤモヤしそう泣

Feelings are drawn very carefully! I'm pretty tired to read lol it's a pretty realistic story! All of the characters who got lost in a circle, made mistakes, thought of someone, and grew up were all real! This is a sequel, right? If it doesn't come out, I'm always fidgety and crying

なんと苦しい

How painful

リアルな頭の中を深くまでのぞいた感覚におちいりました。苦しい、安心、心配、期待気持ちの振り幅にやられつつも、ひたすら高校生たちを応援して読みました。どうなるんだろう、3巻が待ち遠しいです。今のところベタ甘なBL要素はないです。

I fell in love with the feeling that I had peeked deep into my real head. While being overwhelmed by the amplification of pain, reassurance, worry, and anticipation, I read it earnestly in support of high school students. I wonder what will happen, I can't wait for volume 3. There are no solid BL elements so far.

何この先を読めないストーリー

What story can't you read beyond

正直それぞれのDKのライフスタイルをノーカット、リアルタイムで映画を撮ってるような感覚！この人とこの人がくっつくのかな？って予想はできても突然その人と遠くなったり、近くなったり(^◇^;)2巻までのストーリーを簡単にまとめると、ゲイかゲイじゃないかを描いてる！そんな中、当事者、友人、家族、出会いを巻き込みながら成長する様子が描かれてます。まだBL的なカップルは誕生してませんが、そこがまたリアル！作品内の時の流れは緩やかで、恋に悩み葛藤する姿は凄く繊細に描かれてる！これまでにないピュアな作品なので、本当に同性愛で悩んでる高校生にも読んで欲しいと思う作品です。

Honestly, the lifestyle of each DK is uncut, and it feels like they're shooting a movie in real time! I wonder if this person and this person will stick together? Even if you can predict it, you suddenly become far away or close to that person (^◇^;) If you simply summarize the stories up to volume 2, it depicts whether they are gay or not gay! Meanwhile, it depicts how they grow while involving parties, friends, family, and encounters. No BL couples have been born yet, but that is real again! The flow of time in the work is slow, and the images of people struggling with love are depicted very delicately! It's a pure work that has never been seen before, so it's a work I really want high school students who are struggling with homosexuality to read it.

考えさせられる

It makes me think

恋のはなしというより今のところそれぞれのセクシュアリティに自分や他人がどう向き合うかというお話。この高校生たちの中に自分がいたらどんな立場で振る舞うかなと考えさせられます。土井が…ほんと。言い返したいこといっぱいあるのに言えないの胸がいたくなるほどわかります。大和と唯司はどうなっていくんだろうな。

Rather than a story about love, it's a story about how myself and others are dealing with their respective sexualities so far. It makes me think about what kind of position I would act in if I were among these high school students. Doi... really. I understand it so much that it makes me want to feel like I can't say it even though there are so many things I want to say back. I wonder what will happen to Yamato and Yuiji.

のみしばが大好きで、こちらも購入してみたら、一気に読んでしまいました。色々考えさせられるストーリーでした。続きが気になってしまって、、。早く読めたらいいなぁ。お待ちしてます。

I love Mishiba, and when I bought this one, I read it all at once. It was a story that made me think a lot. I'm worried about the continuation... I wish I could read it soon. I'm waiting for you.

よかったです

I'm glad

This review contains spoilers. のみしばで気になっていた作者さんで、買おうかどうしようか迷いに迷ってたら今回安く購入できるので読みました。のみしばもそうですが、BLエチ要素は2巻までないです。でもとっても良いです。現実ってこーなんだろーなと高校生の心情が細かく書かれてます。そしてほっこりします。幸せになって欲しいなと思うけど、友達で終わってしまうのかなーとも思う不思議な感じ。でも読んで欲しいです。

This review contains spoilers. It's an author I was interested in in Mishiba, and if I was at a loss about whether to buy it or not, I read it because I can buy it cheaply this time. As is the case with Mishiba, there are no BL-ethi elements until 2 volumes. But it's very good. I wonder what reality is like, and the feelings of high school students are written in detail. And it makes me feel relaxed. I want them to be happy, but it's a strange feeling that I wonder if they'll end up as friends. But I want you to read it.

最終巻出ますよね！！？？

the final volume is coming out, right?!?

じっくりゆっくり読めました。リアルな高校生の恋愛に対する気持ちとかすごく丁寧に描かれていて、、自分もあのときは確かにそう思っていたよな、とか思っちゃいました。そこはBLと関係なかったですね。でも、私もBL好きで読んでて、頭の中では理解あります！って、思ってたけど、実際にあったわけでないから想像がつかなかった。だから唯司がその気持ちを丁寧に一つ一つ言葉にしてくれたからなんだかすーって癒された。あと関も。自分をどん底からすくい上げてくれる言葉をくれる人と出逢える確立は世界中でどのくらいなのだろう。ただこれで終わりじゃないんですよね？最新刊から4年は経ってますが、、、涙作者様のあとがき？今度は唯司の番？絶対最後まで見たいです。

I was able to read it very slowly. It depicts real high school students' feelings about love in a very careful manner, and I thought that was certainly what I thought at the time. That had nothing to do with BL. But I also like BL and read it, and I understand it in my head! I thought, but since it didn't actually happen, I couldn't imagine it. That's why Yuiji carefully expressed those feelings one by one, so I was somehow healed. Also, Seki. How likely is it around the world that you can meet someone who gives you words that will scoop you up from the bottom. This isn't the end of it, is it? 4 years have passed since the latest publication, but... is there an afterword by the author of Tears? Is it Yuiji's turn now? I definitely want to watch it until the end.

小説を読んでいるよう

Like reading a novel

自分の周りにはない世界だけど、偏見はないつもり。でも、実際に身近にあったら、どう反応するんだろう…。この登場人物たちみたいに、フラットに向き合えるだろうか。結局、『人』なんだろうな。“ゲイ“だからとかじゃなくて、どんな『人』、こんな『人』だから、友達でいたい。近くにいたい。そう思えるんだ。結局、男女の恋愛と何も変わらない。普段、レビューは書かないけれど、これだけは何となく残しておきたいと思ってしまった。【好きは更新されていくもの】とっても腑に落ちた。

It's a world that isn't around me, but I don't intend to be biased. But I wonder how they would react if they were actually close to them... Will they be able to face each other as flat as these characters? I wonder if it's a “person” after all. I don't want to be a “gay” or something, I want to be friends because they are “people,” what kind of “people.” I want to be close. I think so. After all, nothing is different from a love affair between a man and a woman. I don't usually write reviews, but somehow I wanted to leave this alone. [Likes are things that get updated] It really made sense.

深い

deep

2巻になってくるとおもったより重くて心臓が3cmぐらいになりますが、よくありがちな重いようで浅いお話ではなくリアルな心理描写にグッと心を捕まれ読んだ後にめちゃくちゃ残ります。青春のなかで葛藤する高校生たちにおばさんは頑張れ！！！！と叫び続けることしかできませんが応援しています。3巻、皆がそれぞれの思い描いた幸せに手が届いてるといいなぁ

When it comes to volume 2, it's heavier than I thought, and my heart is about 3 cm, but it's not a heavy, shallow story that often seems to be common, but it's a real psychological depiction that captures my heart and leaves a mess after reading it. Auntie, do your best to high school students who struggle in their youth!!! I can only keep shouting, but I'm rooting for you. I hope everyone can reach the happiness they have imagined in volume 3

This review contains spoilers. 現実的にはやっぱりこうなのかなと思いました。じっくり読みたくなる、考えさせられる作品です。全員が理解できるわけない、友達、家族の葛藤なんかもあり、読み応え抜群です。

もう大好きです

I love it already

激しいBLでは無く、精神愛を学ぶ聖書みたいです。凄く良い！主人公二人も良いですが、周りの友人達も皆良い人で優しい。ゆっくりと進む独特なセリフの間合いとストーリーがとても良いです。買ってから何度も読み返してます。早く3巻が読みたいです。待ち遠しい！

It's not an intense BL, it's like a Bible for learning spiritual love. Very good! The two main characters are good, but all of the friends around them are nice people and kind. The unique dialogue spacing and story that slowly progresses are very good. I've been rereading it many times since I bought it. I want to read volume 3 soon. I can't wait!

は、長谷川よ...。

It's Hasegawa...

This review contains spoilers. ２巻まで読んでの感想。長谷川、お前、いい男過ぎるぞ。主要なキャラクター全員純粋で、一生懸命で、友だちを大切にしてて、でもまだまだ子どもだから上手くいかなくて。一般的な？BL漫画のように、たまたま出会った同性と運良く愛し合って、いちゃいちゃして、とはならないので、the BLを求める方には物足りないと思います。ですが、すっきりしないところが現実的で良いです。それにしても、土井くらいあからさまにアウティングする人は逆に社会的に抹殺されそう。とてもとてもお気に入りな作品になりましたが、連載ペースが遅いのが難点。次が欲し過ぎて辛い。

This review contains spoilers. Impressions of reading up to 2 volumes. Hasegawa, you're too good a guy. All of the main characters are pure, hardworking, and cherish their friends, but they're still kids, so things aren't going well. common? Like BL comics, you're not lucky enough to fall in love and flirt with the same person you happened to meet, so I don't think it's enough for those looking for The BL. However, it's realistic and good that it's not refreshing. Even so, it seems that people who outwardly as Doi do will, on the contrary, be socially eliminated. It became a very, very favorite work, but the downside is that the serialization pace is slow. It's painful because I want the next one too much.
