よかった

That was great

This review contains spoilers. 意気投合してあっという間に同棲。初めはラブラブだったけど、だんだん嫌な部分も見え始め、色々積み重なってプツンと切れた。別れると言い残して去っていったが、平然と連絡をしてくる元カレ。これで最後にするからといい、もうダメなのかと思ったけど、やっぱり離れられない運命なのか。トウイの帰って来てというセリフが印象的だった。あの一言で全てがハッピーエンドに終われた感じ。

This review contains spoilers. They hit it off and lived together in no time. At first, I was lovey-dovey, but gradually I began to see parts I didn't like, and things piled up and fell apart. I left saying they would break up and left, but my ex-boyfriend calmly contacted me. I hope this is the last time, and I thought it would be no good anymore, but is it fate that I can't leave after all? Towi's line about coming back was impressive. I feel like everything ended in a happy ending with that one word.

良かった…苦しくも温かい

good... painful but warm

This review contains spoilers. 小説家のトウイと美容師のツクシの話。ココミさん「傷心男に春の嵐」は読んでたけど本作の方がグッサリ刺さった。ツクシが抱く、ゴミ捨てなどの家事や連絡不足に対する不満が分かりすぎて…ペットボトルすすいでないことに対するイライラ毎日抱きまくりなので…つい感情移入しちゃった。あと別れても会っちゃう流されがちなとことか、人物像がすごくリアルでね。トウイが「帰ってきて…」と言うところは鳥肌立ったなあ。ツクシ、なにも言わずにいなくなることないだろがーとは思うけど。コミュニケーションの大切さは、今までも色々なBLから教わってきたし実生活でも噛み締めてるけど…あとがきで作者さんが言うように、一生難しいものなんだろうな。それでもコミュニケーションが大事だという気持ちが強く伝わってくる作品でした。修正が結構甘め？で、修正が気にならずに読み進められるのは嬉しい〜！2025年10月2巻読了。2巻出て嬉しい！また2人に会えて嬉しい！言葉でのコミュニケーションはもちろん大事だけど、体を触れ合うことで思いやり合うのが素晴らしかったです。言葉、態度、触れ合い、全てで相手に愛情を伝える…素敵だなあ。ただ、2巻は親との和解がメインで、終始ラブラブだったので、こんな変わるかね？喧嘩してんじゃないの？と意地悪なことを思ってしまいました。

This review contains spoilers. A story about novelist Toi and hairdresser Tsukushi. I was reading “Haru no Arashi to the Broken Heart” by Kokomi, but this one really stuck with me. I understood too much about Tsukushi's dissatisfaction with housework such as garbage disposal and lack of contact... because she embraces the frustration of not rinsing PET bottles every day... I just empathized. The characters are so realistic, probably because people tend to get carried away even if they break up later. I got goose bumps when Toi said, “Come back...” I don't think Tsukushi will go away without saying anything, though. I've learned the importance of communication from various BLs until now, and I've been struggling with it in real life... as the author says in the afterword, it's probably going to be difficult for the rest of your life. Nevertheless, it was a work that strongly conveyed the feeling that communication is important. the correction is pretty lackluster? So, I'm happy to be able to read on without worrying about corrections! I read volume 2 on 2025/10/10. I'm happy that volume 2 is out! I'm so happy to see them both again! Of course, verbal communication is important, but it was wonderful to be compassionate to each other by touching each other's bodies. Conveying love to the other person with words, attitude, and touch... it's wonderful. However, volume 2 is mainly about reconciliation with parents, and since they were lovey-dovey from beginning to end, will this change? Aren't they fighting? I thought that was mean.

4年の重みを感じず

Don't feel the weight of 4 years

4年の重みが余り感じられなかったのが、少し残念だった。一緒に生活して、ここを直してほしい、ごめん気をつけるってそんなやり取りを繰り返して相手に対して諦めていったり許したりするんじゃないかと思うんだけど、そこが分からないから、攻めが言わなくてもわかってほしいって思ってる身勝手な人に思えちゃう。これだと受けが可哀想になっちゃうけどそんな事ない？まぁでもこうやって色々考えながら読めたから、読み応えはありました。

It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't really feel the weight of 4 years. I think that living together and I want them to fix this, I'm sorry, and they'll give up and forgive their partner by repeating such exchanges, but since they don't understand that, I think they're selfish people who want them to understand even if they don't say an attack. If this were the case, the reception would be pitiful, but isn't that the case? Well, since I was able to read it while thinking about various things like this, it was a satisfying read.

しみじみと

Slowly

こういうすれ違いあるなーと思う。誰しも経験しそうなこと。恋愛でなくとも人と人の関わりの中で馴れ合うと自己中心的な思いに囚われて。相手にもっと自分を大切に扱ってほしいと、自分勝手にストレスを溜め込んで悶々と一人相撲する…負のスパイラルに。視点を変えれば相手の思いも見えてくる。柔らかく繊細なタッチの丁寧な絵柄に癒やされました。

I think there's this kind of misunderstanding. Something everyone is likely to experience. When people get used to each other in relationships, even if it's not a relationship, they get caught up in egocentric thoughts. They selfishly accumulate stress and wrestle solo in agony... in a negative spiral where they want their opponents to treat themselves more carefully. If you change your point of view, you'll also be able to see the other person's thoughts. I was soothed by the careful design with a soft and delicate touch.

繊細な心情描写が凄く心に突き刺さる

The delicate depiction of feelings really penetrates the heart

主人公二人からの目線を丁寧に言葉で表現されてるのが魅力ですね⤴長く付き合っているからこそ、ぶち当たる壁ってありますよね。そこを上手に引き出して展開してるので、こちらも自然と入り込めます。ただ、個人的にこのタイトルが腑に落ちなかったんですよね〜。私は、ロスタイムって言うと、直ぐ思いつくのが無駄な時間/空費な時間(ネガティブな感じ)だから違和感がでちゃって?今作で描かれてる彼ら二人の時間は、先へ進む為には必然であり、貴重な時間だよね!?と、思ってしまった。サッカーにかけてロスタイム表現されてらっしゃったようですが…海外ではアディショナルタイムが普通なので、その違和感だったのかな?でも!! “餞”の選択は素敵です!!この言葉を使うことで、どれだけ捨て身で本気であるか伝わる表現ですもんね。いやぁ〜タイトル一つで、こんなにも自分が作品への印象も変わるものかと、良い気付きがありました。ありがとうございました?

The point of view from the two main characters is carefully expressed in words, isn't it? ⤴ There's a wall that hits you only because you've been in a relationship for a long time, isn't it? It has been skillfully brought out and developed, so you can naturally get in here too. However, personally, this title didn't make sense to me. When I say lost time, what immediately comes to mind is wasted time/empty time (negative feeling), so I feel uncomfortable? The time between the two of them depicted in this work is inevitable in order to move forward, and it's precious time, isn't it!? That made me think. It seems like lost time was expressed over soccer... additional time is normal overseas, so I wonder if that was a sense of incongruity? but! The choice of “” is lovely!! By using this word, it's an expression that conveys how much abandonment and seriousness you are. Well, I had a good sense that just one title would change my impression of the work so much. thank you so much?

別れがあったからこそ

Precisely because we had a breakup

This review contains spoilers. あのまま一緒に居続けてたらきっとハッピーエンドにはならなかったと思うこの作品。離れてみてお互いの気持ちと相手を思う気持ちを考えたからこそのハッピーエンド。とても幸せそうで良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. I don't think this work would have had a happy ending if they had stayed together like that. A happy ending only when we separated and thought about each other's feelings and feelings for the other person. I'm glad they seemed so happy.

It was better than I expected! I saw it on Twitter, got lost and rented it, but I'm glad I bought it! Unexpectedly, I was drawn in, starting with our break up, and then realizing the importance of each other and looking for each other!

君らは繰り返す気がする…笑

I feel like you guys are going to repeat it... lol

This review contains spoilers. 別れから始まる話。設定がいい。同棲して4年、お互い好きだけど、日頃の不満に堪えかねて別れを切り出した尽(つくし)。尽の苛立ちがリアル。なんでもないことのようだけど、日々の些細なストレスは積もると大きいもの。そういうことに無頓着な相手と居るのは辛いよね。そして、別れたはずなのに体の関係だけズルズル。よくないね…。おそらく、桐生(とうい)は変わらないだろうな。悪い人じゃないけど、こういう人はずっとこうだろう。基本はハッピーエンド好きなのだけど、このお話に関しては別れた方が美しかった気がする。ヒトの本質はそんな簡単に変わらないんだよね。

This review contains spoilers. A story that begins with a break up. The settings are good. They've been living together for 4 years, and they both like each other, but they can't stand their daily dissatisfaction and they break up (Tsukushi). The frustration is real. It seems like nothing, but everyday trivial stress can be huge when it piles up. It's hard being with someone who doesn't care about that kind of thing. And even though they should have broken up, they only cheated on their physical relationships. that's not good... Kiryu (Toi) probably won't change. They're not bad people, but people like this have always been like this. Basically, I like happy endings, but when it comes to this story, I feel like it was more beautiful to break up. Human nature isn't that easy to change, is it?

いいね！

That's great!

初の作家さんです。レビューを見て購入を決めました。絵もとても綺麗です。世間一般にありがちな内容ですが現実はよりを戻すってなかなか難しいよね？と思いました。二人の絆もありますが桐生の過去のトラウマを払拭させてくれる人に出会え良かったです。付き合いが長いだけで他人の本心を見抜くって難しいものですよね。続編があると嬉しいな〜。

This is my first time as a writer. I read the reviews and decided to buy it. The picture is also very beautiful. The content is common in the world, but it's quite difficult to get back to reality, isn't it? I thought so. There is also a bond between the two, but it was nice to meet someone who could dispel Kiryu's past trauma. It's difficult to see through someone else's true intentions just by being in a relationship for a long time, isn't it? I'm happy that there's a sequel.

ほろ苦過ぎる…

it's too bittersweet...

This review contains spoilers. 初めて…じゃなくてこちらの作家さんは2作品目だった。作家さん本人もあとがきで触れてるけど、別れから始まるお話。ほろ苦過ぎて、ちょっと苦しくて、読んでる間は自分の中で、「よりを戻して欲しい」と「早く別れてしまえ」のせめぎ合いが激しかった。美容師の尽（つくし）×作家の桐生（とうい）。どっちの気持ちもわかるんだけど自分は尽に感情移入してしまったなぁ。自分だったら別れてるかも…。でもめちゃくちゃ意欲作だと思う、他の作品と違ってずっとどうなるのかハラハラした。どーせくっつくんでしょ、とは全然思えなかった。

This review contains spoilers. It wasn't my first time... it was my second work by this artist. The writer himself mentioned it in the afterword, but it's a story that begins with a break up. It was so bittersweet, it was a bit painful, and while I was reading it, there was a fierce battle between “I want you to get back together” and “break up quickly.” Hairdresser Zane (Tsukushi) x writer Kiryu (Toi). I understand both feelings, but I've completely empathized with them. If I were you, I might have broken up... But I think it's an insanely ambitious work, and unlike other works, it made me wonder what would happen the whole time. I didn't think at all that they were going to stick together.

これは普遍的な恋のはなし

This is a universal love story

レビューにも沢山書いてあるので略しますが、これは恋愛したら必ずアル！って感情ですね購入2日前に、立腹後に家出まがいのことをした私にはわかる～ぅっ！の連発でした結婚していてもこんなことの繰り返しですたったほしい一言がもらえない時、それがうまく伝えられないとき、わかってくれないならもぉいい！って全部断ち切りたくなりますよね…うちの旦那様もこれくらい可愛げがあったらいいなぁと思いながら読みました(ちゃんと仲直りしました)

It's written a lot in reviews, so I'll abbreviate it, but this is always true when you're in love! It's an emotion, isn't it? I understand that I ran away from home 2 days before the purchase and after getting angry! There was a barrage of things like this over and over again even when you're married. When you don't get the one word you want, when you can't convey it well, and if they don't understand it, that's great! It makes me want to cut it all off... I read it while thinking that it would be nice if my husband was this cute too (we made up properly)

攻めが腹をくくればとは思う

I think attacking would make me hungry

This review contains spoilers. これはどんなカップルでも起こりうることこういうのを繰り返しながら成長してお互い歩み寄って寄り添えれば一番いいんですけど、けっこう難しいんだよなあどう考えても変わらなくてはいけないのは受けの方だって攻めは今までもこうして欲しいということは伝えてきてるのに受け流されて体で誤魔化されての繰り返し受けが本当に変わってくれたらいいですけどねとしか言いようがないですけど文筆業なんていう仕事柄、難しい気もするなあ

This review contains spoilers. This can happen to any couple, and it's best if they grow up walking up and snuggling up to each other while repeating this kind of thing, but it's pretty difficult no matter how you think about it, what you have to change is that the receiver tells you that you want them to do this until now, but it would be nice if they were carried away and misled by their body and repeated reception really changed, but it would be nice if their repeated reception really changed, but it's a job called a writing business I also feel like the pattern is difficult

別れから

別れから始まった！不満が溢れたけどお互いかけがえのない存在なんじゃないの？って読みながら思った。長くいるとこんな感じになるのかなってリアルに思う。喜びも不満も些細な事を伝える事が大事って気付かせてくれるそんなストーリーです。

It started with a break up! There's a lot of dissatisfaction, but aren't they irreplaceable to each other? I thought while reading it. I realistically wonder if I'll feel like this when I stay for a long time. It's such a story that makes me realize that it's important to convey trivial things, both joy and dissatisfaction.

すれ違いで別れた2人が元さやに戻るまでのお話。世界観は狭いので割と淡々と進んでいきます。2人の胸の内が丁寧に描かれています。

This is a story about two people who broke up by each other until they went back to their original state. The view of the world is narrow, so it progresses relatively slowly. The inside of the breasts of the two is carefully drawn.

んーーーーー良いんだけど何か物足りない感。レビューが高評価です期待しすぎたかもしれない。ただ題材としてはすごく好きです。絵は作品を発表する度に上手くなっていて今後も楽しみです。二人の関係性をもっとふかぼって欲しかったです。

Hmm... that's good, but I feel like something isn't enough. The reviews are highly rated; I may have expected too much. However, I really like it as a subject.

空白の四年間が惜しい

Four empty years are a pity

This review contains spoilers. 作者様の言葉通り、別れから始まるお話です。絵柄は嫌いな人いないんじゃないかなと思うくらいいい感じに流行りの絵柄で（？）、雰囲気がよく、引き込まれます。タチネコが想定と逆だったので最初は「そっちか！」となりましたが、読み進めていくうちにしっくりくるように。ストーリーはわりと淡々と進んでいくので展開は読めていたのですが、それでも最後、桐生が尽に縋りつくところはかなりグッとくるものがありました。むしろそれだけで☆4つけたみたいなところもあります（笑）個人的に残念だったのは、4年付き合ったふたりという前提があるのに、物語は4年後から始まるので、4年という決して短くはない月日が軽く見えてしまうことです。要所要所で過去の鍵となる話がでてくるものの、私はいまいち入り込めませんでした。読後感は悪くないのにうっすらともやもやが残るというか、こういう恋愛してる人いるよなあというか……。濡れ場は少なくエロさもないのに妙な生々しさがある、不思議な感覚でした。上手く言葉にできなくてすみません。もう少し話数があるか、ドラマチックな展開があればハマったのかな。あくまで私はハマらなかったというだけで、今のBLの傾向的にも好きと感じる方の方が多いと思います。絵も上手で入り込みやすい絵柄だと思うので、友人に気になってると言われたら間違いなく勧めるかな。

This review contains spoilers. As the author says, it's a story that begins with a farewell. The design is so popular that I think there are no people who don't like it (?) The atmosphere is good, and it draws you in. Tachineko was the opposite of what I expected, so at first I thought, “That's it!” It became, but as I read on, it became more comfortable. The story progressed rather slowly, so I was able to read the development, but even so, at the end, there was something quite surprising about Kiryu being completely obsessed. Rather, that alone makes it seem like they added ☆ 4 (laughs) What was personally disappointing is that even though there is an assumption that the two have been in a relationship for 4 years, the story starts 4 years later, so the month of 4 years, which is by no means short, seems light. Key stories from the past come up at key points, but I couldn't quite get in. Even though I don't feel bad after reading it, a slight haze remains, or are there people who are in love like this... It was a strange feeling with a strange vividness even though there were few wet areas and nothing erotic. I'm sorry for not being able to put it into words. I wonder if there are a few more episodes, or if there are any dramatic developments, I wonder if they would be addicted to it. It's just that I wasn't addicted to it, and I think there are many people who feel that they like the current BL trend. The picture is also good and I think the design is easy to get into, so if a friend says they are interested in it, I would definitely recommend it.
