おもしろかった

That was interesting

人間の弱いところとかその人の癖とかいろんな生き方があるなって。サーカスのみんな個性豊かすぎであっという間に読んじゃいました。

There are many ways to live, such as human weaknesses and people's habits. Everyone at the circus was so unique that I read it in no time.

それがない事に後から気づくほど

So much so that I realized later that it wasn't there

This review contains spoilers. アングラな雰囲気で物語は進みますがシロをはじめ男娼各メンバーが不思議な魅力と言うか、この人はどう人なんだろうと言う好奇心で暗くなる事なく読み進められます。途中くすっと笑えたり、この人はこんな素敵な人だったんだ！と言うエピソードもあったりしてどんどん話に引き込まれました。冒頭では生を諦めた主人公ケイがラストでは全く違う選択をするのが感動的でした。完全なハピエンとは少し違う苦みをも伴うものですがそれがまたシロが人生を見つめ直すきっかけになったのかと。そう言えばLはほぼなかったな、と読み終わってから気づきました。それほど引き込まれ、またLがなくても満足できる内容でした。絵は最初は人物がやや古風な感じかなと思いましたが読み進めると雰囲気のある上手い絵でした。

This review contains spoilers. The story progresses in an ungraceful atmosphere, but you can read on without getting dark due to the strange appeal of each member, starting with Shiro, and curiosity about what kind of person this person is. I was able to giggle along the way, and this person was such a wonderful person! There was also an episode called that, and I was drawn more and more into the story. I was moved by the fact that the main character Kei, who gave up on life at the beginning, made a completely different choice at the end. It also has a slightly different bitterness from perfect hapien, but I wonder if that was also an opportunity for Shiro to look back at life. Speaking of which, I realized after I finished reading that there was almost no L. I was so drawn in, and the content was satisfying even without L. At first, I thought the characters were a bit old-fashioned, but as I read on, it was a good picture with an atmosphere.

エロエロでも甘々でもない

It's not erotic erotic, it's not sweet

古い洋画の一シーンのような何気ないのに匂い立つやりとりが続く。BLというよりは娼館でもヒューマンドラマ。この作家さんの作品がいつもそういう流れ。じっくり1場面、1台詞を楽しめます。

The casual yet smelly exchange continues, like a scene from an old Western-style painting. It's more of a human drama at a brothel than a BL. This artist's work always goes that way. You can take your time and enjoy each scene and 1 lyric.

みんな主役級

Everyone is the leading role

各々の事情で男性相手の風俗店で働いている4人。主人公は一人だけど、他の3人もとても魅力的なキャラで、スピンオフ書いて欲しいくらいです。その内の一人とくっつきますが、前半はそんな感じはあまりなく、後半から徐々の色濃くなっていきます。なので全体的に恋愛より人間模様に重きをおいてます。

Four people work at a sex shop dealing with men due to various circumstances. There is only one main character, but the other 3 are also very attractive characters, and I want them to write spin-offs. You stick with one of them, but there isn't much of that kind of feeling in the first half, and the color gradually becomes darker from the second half. So overall, the emphasis is placed on human patterns rather than romance.

何度読んでも良い

It doesn't matter how many times you read it

何度読み返しても、その都度良いなーと思います。登場人物全てに没個性な人はおらず、それぞれに意味がある立ち位置にいるなぁと。団長とマリアさんの関係やリンとジョーの距離感など、主人公以外の人間関係もとても好きです。

No matter how many times I reread it, I think it's good each time. None of the characters are impersonal, and I think they all stand in positions that have their own meaning. I also really like relationships other than the main character, such as the relationship between Commander and Maria and Lin and Joe's sense of distance.

★ 4.7

P232/エロほとんどなし/絵★4ストーリー★4.8キャラ★5漫画の上手さ★5/男娼のお話で主人公CPのエロはなしです。この作者さんの作品の中で1番好きです！キャラがみんな魅力的でした。団長が1番かわいい笑。描き下ろしが綺麗なオチで最高。BがLしてますがBLとしてキュンキュンを求める人にはおすすめしません。

P232/almost no erotic/picture ★ 4 stories ★ 4.8 characters ★ 5 good at comics ★ 5/it's a story about male prostitutes, and there is no eroticism of the main character CP. I love this author's work the most! All of the characters were fascinating. the leader is the cutest lol. The drawing has a beautiful punch line and is great. B is L, but I don't recommend it to people looking for Kyun Kyun as BL.

「BL」と簡単には括れない

It's not easily summed up with “BL”

This review contains spoilers. 平凡なリーマン、ケイが、風俗嬢に入れ込んで多額の借金を背負った事から勤める羽目になったゲイの為の風俗店『サーカス』。そこで共同生活を送る従業員4人の群像劇です。表紙や扉絵はケイとシロですが、『サーカス』を軸に話が進むので、4人全員が主役ですね。ぃや、『サーカス』その物が主役かも。訳ありな彼らが新たな人生を選択する中で、『サーカス』を去る者、残る者、各々にドラマがありました。そして、ケイを救い、後にシロ自身をも救ったシロの言葉に、同じ様に救われる方は多いのではないでしょうか。ゲイ専用風俗店というある種特殊な場所が舞台なのに、最後は爽やかな読後感すら感じる、BLという枠には収まり切らない作品です。根っからの悪人は出て来ないし（オーナーに至っては本当にいい人だし、キャラも可愛い♪）、痛々しい描写もなく、会話もテンポよく進んでいくので読みやすいです。ただ、あまあまエロエロを期待して読むと肩透かしを喰らうので、注意は必要かも。シロやジョー各々が主役で、シロの凄絶な過去が明かされたり、ジョーのバイオレンス色の強いスピンオフも見てみたいですね。

This review contains spoilers. “Circus” is a sex shop for gays where mediocre Lehman and Kay ended up working after getting into a sex worker and burdened a large amount of debt. It is a group drama of 4 employees living together there. The cover and door art are Kei and Shiro, but since the story revolves around “Circus,” all 4 people play leading roles. Well, maybe “The Circus” itself plays the leading role. As they chose a new life for no reason, there were dramas for those who left “The Circus” and those who remained. Also, I think there are many people who are saved in the same way by the words of Shiro, who saved Kei and later saved Shiro himself. Even though it is set in a kind of special place called a gay-only sex shop, it's a work that doesn't fit within the BL framework, where you can even feel a refreshing feeling after reading it at the end. Rooted villains don't come up (the owner is a really nice person, and the characters are cute ♪), there are no painful depictions, and the conversation progresses at a good tempo, so it's easy to read. However, if you read it expecting something too erotic, you'll get watermarks on your shoulders, so you may need to be careful. Shiro and Joe each play leading roles, Shiro's horrible past is revealed, and I'd like to see Joe's violent spin-offs.

キャラが立ってる

The character is standing

This review contains spoilers. 朝田先生ってスゴい。キャラの立ちかたが素晴らしい。映像にしても光っていますよ。サーカスの有り様が、絵にスッと馴染んでいて、そして生活の力を醸し出していてホントに良かった。シロさん、ケイさんが幸せになりますように。団長さんとマリアさんが優しくって、可愛いご夫婦なのが嬉しい。

This review contains spoilers. Asada sensei is amazing. The way the characters stand is amazing. It's shining even in the video. It was really nice that the circus scene fit right into the picture and exudes the power of life. I hope Shiro-san and Kei will be happy. I'm happy that the leader and Maria are a kind and cute couple.

BLとしては☆一個

As a BL ☆ one

ファンタジーのようでいて、現代日本に似たどこかの、男性のみが従業員の春を売るお店を舞台にした物語。キャラクターが魅力的で、絵も素晴らしくて、面白かった。ただしBL的なエロと萌えはゼロに等しいと思います。買って損はないけど。

It's a fantasy story set in a store where only men sell spring as employees, somewhere similar to modern Japan. The characters were charming, the pictures were wonderful, and it was interesting. However, I think BL-like eroticism and excitement are equal to zero. There's no loss in buying it though.

BLの枠でくくるより一般の大人向け漫画にして欲しい内容の素晴らしいヒューマンドラマでした！BL初心者や苦手な人にもおすすめです！

It was a wonderful human drama with content that I would like to see made into a comic for adults in general rather than being wrapped up in a BL framework! It is also recommended for BL beginners and people who are not good at it!

いい

That's good

This review contains spoilers. 安くなっててレビューが良かったんで買ってみました。初めて読む作家さんだったんですが、買って正解でした。表紙ではあまり惹かれなかったんですが、何の話かも知らず予備知識なしで読んで、最悪な始まりからどう進んでくんだって…想像も出来ず…サーカスって単純にサーカスだと思ったんですよね(単純)完全なハッピーエンドだしお客さんがいい人ばかりだし団長とかお嫁さんとか、一見感じ悪いと思わせておいてすごくいい人で愛が溢れてて、ほんといい話でした。ストーリーしっかりしてるからほんとおすすめです。

This review contains spoilers. I bought it because it was cheaper and the reviews were good. It was my first time reading this writer, and I was right when I bought it. I wasn't really attracted to it on the cover, but I didn't know what the story was about and read it without prior knowledge... I couldn't even imagine how it progressed from the worst beginning... I thought the circus was simply a circus (simple), it had a perfect happy ending, the customers were all nice people, and they made me think that the leader and the bride were really nice people and overflowing with love. The story is solid, so I really recommend it.

Life is interesting because it depicts various human patterns in love! The story is also good, and since I haven't been able to come across a BL like this, I thought it was valuable!

浮世離れしてる。

It's far from Ukiyo.

今まで読んだBL作品のどのジャンルにも入らない不思議な内容の作品でした。まるで、小説を読んでるかのような感じでした。Hシーンは少な目です。興味深い設定で、興味深い登場人物たち、お話も興味深かったです。BL作品を普段読まない方でも読めるような作品です。

It was a work with strange content that didn't fit into any of the BL works I've read up until now. It felt like I was reading a novel. There are few H scenes. It was an interesting setting, and the interesting characters and story were also interesting. It's such a work that even people who don't usually read BL works can read it.

登場人物が魅力的！

The characters are fascinating!

This review contains spoilers. 全員が個性豊かでたまらなく好きでした。ジョーと美少年がツボでしたね…特にジョーは、タチ専なのかぁ…と残念に思っていましたが記憶や意識が飛ぶほど犯されていて大変喜びましたし、その後の身体の相性の良さについての話もめちゃくちゃ好きでした。最高です。サーカスの日常スピンオフが出たら絶対買いたいです…。リンのプレイ内容にはほとんど触れていませんでしたが、女装攻めだったらいいなぁと胸を高鳴らせています。それぞれのキャストのプレイを短編のような感じで並べて、たまに楽屋や生活スペースでの他愛もない話を…どうか…。サーカスにスポットを当てたスピンオフ、お待ちしております。

This review contains spoilers. Everyone was so unique that I couldn't help but love them. Joe and the beautiful boy had pressure points... in particular, I was disappointed that Joe was only tachi... but I was very happy that my memory and consciousness flew by so much that my memory and consciousness flew away, and I really liked the story about how compatible their bodies were after that. It's awesome. I definitely want to buy the Circus Everyday Spin-off when it comes out... I hardly touched on Rin's play, but it makes me feel excited that it would be nice if it was a crossdresser attack. Each cast member's play is arranged like a short story, and once in a while, they have unfriendly stories in dressing rooms and living spaces... please... We look forward to a circus-focused spin-off.

ヒューマンドラマ

human drama

朝田ねむい先生の作品はどれもただのBL枠に留まらず、内容が深いヒューマンドラマを観ているようです。風俗嬢に騙されて借金を背負ってしまったケイが死のうとしたところをシロに助けられ、それがきっかけで男性風俗店で働くことになり、シロをはじめ他の従業員たちと過ごすなかで生きる力を貰ったり、仲間、そして大切にしたいものが出来ていきます。ただイチャラブするBLではないのでイチャラブ目的の方には物足りないかもしれませんが、でもそれ以上にこの漫画は満足できる作品だと思います。最後はなんだかジーンとするようなホッと温まるような、そんなラストでした。それぞれが幸せになりますように。

None of Asada Nemui's works are limited to just BL, and it seems like they're watching human dramas with deep content. Kei, who was deceived by a sex worker and burdened with debt, was saved by Shiro when she was about to die, and as a result, she worked at a male sex shop, and while spending time with other employees, starting with Shiro, she received strength to live, and made friends, and things she wanted to cherish. It's not just a flirty BL, so it may not be enough for people with flirty love goals, but more than that, I think this comic is a satisfying work. At the end, it was such an end that made me feel relieved and warm, and somehow jean. May everyone be happy.

読んで良かった

I'm glad I read

ずっと気になっていた作家さんでした。キャラがたっていて、ＢＬというよりも、人間ドラマでした。このままドラマ化しても良さそうなくらい。えっち要素は少なめですが、お話としてとても面白かった。シロさんとケイにはもう少しラブラブ期間が欲しかったですが、最終的にはそれさえも乗り越えた人間愛になっていたところも新鮮で良かったです。

It was an author I had always been interested in. There were characters, and it was a human drama rather than BL. So much so that it would be nice if it were made into a drama like this. There are few eccentric elements, but it was very interesting as a story. I wanted Shiro-san and Kei to have a little more lovey-dovey period, but in the end, the fact that they overcame even that and became human love was fresh and nice.
