読みホ

Read the letter Ho

で読みました。いいですよ、凄くいい！！特別何かをするとかなくて、本当に日常の日々を描いたマンガなんですが2人の関係性が凄く良かったです。

I read it at That's good, really good!! It's a manga that really depicts everyday life without doing anything special, but the relationship between the two was really good.

心がホッとした

My heart felt relieved

This review contains spoilers. 社交的なカズと真面目で地味なモト。タイプは違うけど幼馴染で1番の親友のはずが、時が流れていくうちに自分の気持ちの好きが、違う好きに変わってきた事を隠してきた。モトにいずれ諦めるからって言ったカズの切ない気持ち。2人も成長して、モトもカズの事を友達以上の好きと確信してカズに想いをつげる。長い年月をかけて恋人同士になった2人を見守りたい。

This review contains spoilers. A sociable Kazu and a serious and sober Moto. They are different types, but they are supposed to be childhood friends and best friends, but as time passed, they hid that the likes I felt changed to different likes. The sad feeling of Kazu telling Moto that he would eventually give up. The two have grown up, and Moto is convinced that he likes Kazu more than his friend, and he has feelings for Kazu. I want to watch over these two people who have become lovers over a long period of time.

子どもから大人への青春譚

A tale of youth from children to adults

さらっと読むと、BがLになる過程が描かれているよくある話。でも、そんなことでは括れないぐらい、二人の心情表現が良かったです。二度三度と読むと、あのコマの意味、そのコマの情景の意味がさらに分かると思います。

If you read it quickly, it's a common story depicting the process of B becoming L. But the expression of their feelings was so good that they couldn't be summed up by that. If you read it over and over again, I think you'll understand the meaning of that frame and the meaning of the scene in that frame even more.

諦めない

I won't give up

細ければ細かいほど良い。表情の小さな変化をただ追うだけでも良い。切羽詰まったあの顔で1ページまるまる使うだけでも良い。初めての作者さんだったけど、この人が描くこの2人なら、どんなものでも良いから読みたいって思うようなお話だった。どこかで糸がプツッと切れてもおかしくなくて、変に拗れて10年後に再会もあり得るような話だけど、お互いが服の裾んトコロを掴み合ってて、完全に離れないようにここまで来た。良かった、彼らにはまだこれからが続いてくんだ。ポロッと最後泣けたんは、やっぱり日常がそのまま描かれていたから嬉しくてやったぜ！てなったんです。よかったです。

The finer it is, the better. You can also just follow small changes in facial expressions. You can just use an entire page with that desperate face. It was my first time to write it, but it was a story drawn by these two people that I wanted to read it because anything would be fine. It's not strange if the thread breaks off somewhere, and it's a strangely relentless story where it's possible to meet again in 10 years, but they're both grabbing the hem of their clothes, and they've come this far so far so they haven't left completely. Good, they still have a long way to go. After all, I was so happy that I was able to cry at the end with Polo because everyday life was depicted as it was! That's it. That was great.

何とも言えないエモさ

indescribable emo

This review contains spoilers. 作家買いです！別名義の作品も追っています！作者さまらしい、何気ない日常の一コマを切り取った優しく温かい作品。カズとモトはタイプは違うが幼なじみで親友。家庭事情によってだんだん変わっていくカズとカズの友情から愛情の変化に戸惑うモト。悩みながらも自分自身と向き合い自覚した想いに熱いものが込み上げます。自分が何者なのかと模索している思春期の少年たちの気持ちの揺れ、心の葛藤や変化がとても繊細に丁寧に描かれています。「おかえり」「ただいま」…穏やかな生活の中大人になった2人が一緒にいることが分かって嬉しかったー！紙でも欲しいくらい大好きな作品！秀作ですね、ほんとに！

This review contains spoilers. I'm buying an artist! I'm also following works under a different name! A gentle and warm work that captures a scene from everyday life, typical of the artist. Kazu and Moto are different types, but they are childhood friends and best friends. Moto is puzzled by the change in love from Kazu and Kazu's friendship, which gradually changes depending on family circumstances. Passionate things pour into the feelings that I have faced and become aware of while worrying about myself. The emotional swings, mental conflicts, and changes of adolescent boys who are searching for who they are are are depicted very delicately and carefully. “Welcome home”, “I'm home”... I was happy to know that the two adults in a peaceful lifestyle are together! I love this work so much that I want it on paper! Excellent work, really!

優しく心地良い甘酸っぱさ

Gentle and pleasant sweet and sour

好きな作家さんがオススメしていた作品。「スキップとローファー」の作者様の別名義とか。自分が1番側にいたいのに、という葛藤が切なくて終始胸をギュッとつかまれるが、学生らしい甘酸っぱい爽やかさや、作者様の人柄だろうか、優しい雰囲気に包まれていて読んでいて本当に心地が良かった。ドラマチックではないが、クライマックスではジーンと涙ぐんでしまった。ホクロ好きなのでカズの目の下のホクロについ目が行ったが、何と言っても顔を真っ赤にする2人や、象徴的な蝶の描写がとても素晴らしい。背景のビルなども手描きなのだろうか、柔らかい絵が雰囲気にピッタリ。3ページ目の絵画のような絵もいいな…。とにかくとても良かったので、先生の他の作品も読まなくては。

This work was recommended by my favorite artist. Another name for the author of “Skip and Loafers.” The conflict of wanting to be on the first side was so sad that it gripped my heart from beginning to end, but I was really comfortable reading it because it was wrapped in a gentle atmosphere, probably because of the sweet and sour freshness typical of a student and probably the personality of the author. It's not dramatic, but I burst into tears at the climax. I like moles, so I looked at the moles below Kazu's eyes, but after all, the depiction of the two people with bright red faces and the iconic butterfly is so wonderful. The soft picture is perfect for the atmosphere, as the buildings in the background are also hand-painted. A picture like the one on page 3 would be nice too... Anyway, it was so good that I have to read the teacher's other works.

特別ドラマティックな事が起きなくても・・

even if nothing particularly dramatic happens...

This review contains spoilers. 「あとがき」での作家さまの言葉です。本作、すっごく良かったです。丁寧な描写で、セリフが無いコマも、時間の経過や何気ない日常が少しづつ進んでいく感じでとても好感が持てました。『スキップとローファー』の作家さまの初BL作品との事。幼なじみで、多感な中学から高校までの気持ちの変化を、本当にリアルに表現されていると思います。人を好きになる気持ちって、初めてだと尚更、自分自身で消化するには時間がかかる気がするのです。それは異性であっても同性であっても。戸惑う気持ちを「蛾」のガラス細工のようなモノでの表現は上手いなぁと思いました。表題の『オーレオール』についても、作家さまの説明はありません。レビューを書かれている方々も其々に調べていらっしゃるようでしたが、“太陽から広がる虹の一番内側の、ぼんやりしている部分を表す”というのが、私にはしっくりきました。「虹」という言葉に隠された意味も今回初めて知りました。「おかえり」というのは、二人の関係性が以前のように唯一無二になったから・・・と勝手に解釈して、余韻に浸ろうと思います。

This review contains spoilers. These are the artist's words in “Afterword.” This work was sooo good. It was a careful depiction, and I was very impressed by the fact that the passage of time and casual everyday life progressed little by little, even in frames without dialogue. This is the first BL work by the writer of “Skip and Loafer.” I think it really realistically expresses the changes in feelings from middle school to high school, who are childhood friends and sensitive. The feeling of liking someone is even more so when it's the first time, and I feel that it takes time to digest it on my own. Whether it's the opposite sex or the same sex. I thought it would be good to express the feeling of confusion with something like “moth” glasswork. There is no explanation from the artist about the title “Ole All.” The people who wrote the reviews seemed to be doing their own research, but “showing the innermost, fuzzy part of the rainbow spreading from the sun” suited me perfectly. I also learned the hidden meaning behind the word “rainbow” for the first time. “Welcome home” is interpreted without permission because the relationship between the two has become unique as before... and I think I'll soak in the afterglow.

甘酸っぱく胸がギュッとなる作品

A work that is sweet and sour and makes your heart feel tight

好きな漫画家さんのおすすめで、購入しました！この気持ちは、幼なじみとしての気持ちなのか……恋なのか……甘酸っぱく、胸ががギュッとなるような作品でした。エッチ要素は全くないですが、恋を自覚する描写などが丁寧に書かれていて読み終わった後に、幸せな気持ちを残してくれるような作品でした

I bought it on the recommendation of my favorite manga artist! Was this feeling a feeling as a childhood friend... love... it was a sweet and sour work that made my heart feel tight. There are no elements of sex at all, but it was a work where depictions of being aware of love were carefully written and left a happy feeling after reading

作者様の他作品があったら知りたい

I would like to know if there are any other works by the author

何度も読み返している作品。心理描写も構成も完璧すぎる。攻めがとにかく良い。受けへの想いをグッと堪える描写に何度も泣かされます。エロはないけどこの作品にはいらないよね。高津先生の他BL作品もぜひ読みたい！(世に出してくださいお願いします)

This work has been reread over and over again. The psychological depiction and structure are too perfect. Attacking is fine anyway. I'm made to cry over and over again by the depiction of how to endure the feeling of receiving it. It's not erotic, but I don't need it for this work. I definitely want to read other BL works by Takatsu sensei! (Please show it to the world, please)

読後穏やかで満たされた気持ちに

After reading it, I felt calm and fulfilled

表紙のように、キラッキラ明るく眩しいDKものかと想像していたら、ちょっと違ってた。幼馴染の高校生、カズとモト。ある時からモトを意識するようになったカズの、嫉妬や苛立ちや、やるせなさに、彼の家庭環境も合わさって、切なくて苦しくて、胸がきゅっと締め付けられるようだった。ただ、モトが終始穏やかなのが救いで、モトが拒否したり、付かず離れずしながらも、2人の関係が断絶されないのがよかった。4年かけて諦める準備をしてきたカズ。4年かけて少しずつ熟すように、カズの気持ちに追いついてきたモト。じんわりとした感動を誘う……あーすごくいい。全編通してすごい事件とかがあるわけでなく、キス(しかもラブの意味じゃない)以外もないけど、2人の心の変化や揺らぎ、成長がゆっくり丁寧に日常を切り取りながら描かれていて。最後はとても暖かで穏やかな気持ちになれるラストでした。***200P

It was a little different when I had imagined that it would be a bright, sparkling DK, like the cover. My childhood friends, Kazu and Moto, are high school students. Kazu's jealousy, irritation, and lack of motivation, and his home environment combined with his home environment, which made him feel sad and painful, and my heart was tightened tightly. However, it was a relief that Moto was calm from beginning to end, and it was good that the relationship between the two was not cut off even though Moto refused or didn't get along. Kazu spent 4 years preparing to give up. Moto has caught up with Kazu's feelings, as if maturing little by little over 4 years. It's gentle and evocative... oh, so nice. There is no such thing as an amazing incident throughout the entire story, and there is nothing other than a kiss (and it doesn't mean love), but the changes, fluctuations, and growth of the two are depicted while slowly and carefully cutting out their everyday lives. The last one made me feel very warm and peaceful. ***200P

さわやか！

Refreshing!

さわやかで優しいお話です。初めてのBLにもってこいのお話で心洗われるというか、心穏やかになります。そして青春です！もっと濃いBLを求めている方には物足りないかも知れませんが、心のある内容で描写が上手いので満足はできると思います。

It's a refreshing and gentle story. It's a perfect story for my first BL, which washes my heart, or rather calms my mind. And it's youth! It may not be enough for those looking for a more intense BL, but I think you can be satisfied because the content has a heart and is good at depicting it.

人の気持ちって0か100には振り分けられ

People's feelings can't be sorted into 0 or 100

萌えがある作品でも、少なからずラブシーン欲しいタイプです。レビュー見てほぼ皆無とあるので見送ろうかと思ったら、スキップとローファーの作者様だそうなので購入しました。じんわり良いです。誰かを好きになるって、0や100には振り分けられない感情の積み重ねによるものだよね…と思うと同時に、行動一つひとつに「正解」「不正解」をつけたくなるけど、別の側面を捲ってみると、とてもじゃないけどどちらかなんて決めきれない…そういう曖昧さがすごくリアルで、ああ〜、間違いなくスキローの作者様だ〜！となりました！

I'm the type that wants more than a few love scenes, even in works that have a strong sense of emotion. There were almost no reviews, so I thought I'd stop them, but I bought them because they seem to be the author of Skip and Loafers. It's gentle and nice. Falling in love with someone is due to an accumulation of emotions that can't be sorted into 0 or 100... and at the same time, it makes me want to add “right answers” and “wrong answers” to each action, but when I look at the other side, it's not great, but I can't decide which one... that kind of ambiguity is so real, and oh, it's definitely the author of Skiro! It became!

おお。青春

oh. youth

This review contains spoilers. 爽やか。エチはキスさえないけど、なぜかおなかいっぱいに満足しちゃうんですよね。まさに青春BLの金字塔。小学生からの幼馴染のふたりを時間をかけてゆっくりゆっくり追いかけていて、その心の揺れ動く様も丁寧に描いてあって引き込まれます。最後にふたり一緒に生活しているところが当たり前のように自然にあって安心してほっこりしました。

This review contains spoilers. Refreshing. Echi doesn't even kiss, but for some reason she's so satisfied with her stomach. It really is the gold standard for youth BL. They are slowly and slowly chasing their two childhood friends since elementary school over time, and I am drawn in by carefully drawing how their hearts fluctuate. Finally, the place where the two of them live together was natural as a matter of course, and I felt safe and relaxed.

身近な世界

Familiar world

すごく身近な感じがしました。同じ高校で机に座って教室を眺めてるような。学校の帰り道に見かけた彼らのような。そんな、現実の世界で普通にいる彼と彼のような。正直で真っ直ぐで、だからこそ苦しい。でも正直で真っ直ぐだからこそ伝わる。あぁ、とても好きな作品です。こんな優しいお話を読むと、本当に幸せな気持ちになりますね。

It felt so familiar. It's like sitting at a desk and looking at the classroom at the same high school. Just like the ones I saw on my way home from school. Just like him who is normal in the real world. They're honest and straight, and that's why it's painful. But it can only be conveyed because they are honest and straightforward. Oh, it's a work I really like. It really makes me feel happy when I read such a kind story.

文豪かよ…

are you a great writer...

This review contains spoilers. 柳井くんが水族館の魚と自分を重ねて辛くなってるのも、それに気付いちゃう親友も言葉にならないくらい最高。他の人から見れば「そう見えない」けど真実は本人しかわからないのがね、マイノリティの辛さを表現しているというか…とにかく読めば読むほどグッとくる作品です。

This review contains spoilers. The fact that Yanai-kun is putting himself on top of each other with the fish in the aquarium is so great that even his best friend, who notices it, can't put it into words. If you look at it from someone else's point of view, it “doesn't look like that,” but only the person himself knows the truth, so it's a work that expresses the pain of minorities... anyway, the more you read it, the more amazing it is.

オーレオール= aureoleですかぁ〜

Aureole = aureole, huh?

こちらの作者様、｢スキップとローファー｣の作者様だったんですね!!フォロー様のレビューを読みびっくり!!知らなかったです〜⚡でも、あの｢スキップ〜｣の世界観がまるまるこちらにも健在で、納得でした。素朴で平凡な普通の子たちが等身大でそこにいるんです✨飾った言葉やあざとさなんてなく、真っ直ぐな心理描写が心に突き刺さる作品。こういう作品って本当に稀ですよね。エチエロ、きゅんきゅんはないので、そちらをお求めの方には合いませんが、この高津先生の飾らない純粋な世界観は、是非覗いて貰いたいです。じんわりと心に響き、苦しくなったり、温かくなったり、作品を読みながら彼らに同化しちゃいます。タイトルの｢オーレオール=聖人を表す頭の後ろの光｣素晴らしいセンスです。私はこの言葉がパッとわからず、色々調べちゃいました。だから、尚更深く理解できますね〜なるほど〜と。穢れなく、眩しく、触ることさえできない存在かぁ…恋をしてしまうと、相手がそんな風に見えてしまうことも有り得ますよね。そして、“おかえり”を付け加えた意味。いやぁ〜痺れる。やっぱり、私はタイトルで魅せられる作品に弱い。このタイトルと作品の一体感を、是非確かめて見てください?あっ、少女漫画枠ですが、｢スキップとローファー｣も強くおすすめです?私の大好きな少女漫画の一つです!

This author was the author of “Skip and Loafers”! I was surprised to read Follow's review!! I didn't know it ~ ⚡ But that “skip ~” world view is alive and well here too, and I was convinced. Simple, mediocre, and normal kids are there in life size ✨ It's a work where straight psychological depictions pierce the heart without any adorned words or ridicule. This kind of work is really rare, isn't it? There are no ethiero or kyun kyun, so it's not suitable for those looking for them, but I definitely want you to take a peek at Takatsu sensei's pure, unadorned view of the world. It slowly resonates with their hearts, becomes painful, warms, and assimilates into them while reading the work. The title “Aureol = the light behind the head representing a saint” is a wonderful sense. I didn't understand this word, so I did a lot of research. So, I can understand it even more deeply ~ I see ~. They're immaculate, dazzling, and untouchable... if you're in love, it's possible for your partner to look like that. Also, the meaning of adding “welcome home.” well, it's numb. After all, I'm weak at works that fascinate me with their titles. Why don't you check out the sense of unity between this title and the work? Oh, it's a girls' comic frame, but do you also highly recommend “Skip and Loafers”? It's one of my favorite girls' comics!

カズくん男前

Kazu-kun is handsome

エロはなくても、この二人が一緒に暮らしてる姿を見せてくれただけでありがとうといいたくなる作品。報われないと思っていた恋を抱えつつ家庭の事情もあってカズは危なっかしい時期もあったけど、モトの心の中にもしっかりカズへの思いは育まれていて、それがちゃんと実って本当に心が温まりました。この作者さんが他に描いておられないのが残念です。

It's a work that makes me want to say thank you just for showing me how these two live together, even if it's not erotic. There were times when Kazu was in danger due to family circumstances while having a love that she thought would not be reciprocated, but feelings for Kazu were firmly nurtured in Moto's heart, and it really warmed my heart. It's a pity that this artist didn't draw anything else.
