絵がきれいです

The picture is beautiful

タイトルからエッチな漫画？と思いきやそれだけでなく絵がとても繊細できれいですごく良かったです。ハラハラドキドキでスカッともありとても良かったです。

A naughty comic from the title? I thought, but not only that, the pictures were very delicate and beautiful, which was really nice. It was so nice because it was so exciting and exciting.

あざみがカッコイイ

Thistles are cool

現代版吉原。設定が斬新！主人公のあざみの凛とした美しさ、逞しさも読んでいて気持ちがいいです。強く成長していくあざみの姿から目が離せません。絵柄があまり好みではなかったのですが、ストーリーに引き込まれました。三倉さんとの未来も気になるとこです。

Modern version of Yoshiwara. The setting is novel! It also feels good to read the majestic beauty and strength of the main character, Azami. Keep an eye out for the strong growth of the thistle. I didn't really like the design, but I was drawn into the story. I'm also worried about the future with Mikura-san.

切ない

It's sad

This review contains spoilers. 現代版遊郭のおはなし。現代版なので、主人公たち花魁は女優としての芸能活動もしていたりするのが新しいです。様々な大人の事情があり、好きな人とは一筋縄では結ばれないけど、密かに想い続けながら、仕事を頑張っている主人公の姿が切ないです。

This review contains spoilers. A modern version of the red-light district story. Since it's a modern version, it's new that the main characters, Hanakai, are also performing arts activities as actresses. There are various adult circumstances, and it's not easy to connect with someone he likes, but it's sad to see the main character working hard while secretly continuing to have feelings.

昼ドラ？極妻？吉原炎上？

daytime drama? extreme wife? Yoshihara bursts into flames?

７巻を読んだ時点で「悪意の罠だらけで疲れる〜、一旦読むのやめようかな」と思っていたのですが、８巻を読んで継続を決めました。山吹花魁がかっこ良かったー！覚悟を決めた人だとは思っていましたが、その怒りの激しさが想像以上で圧倒されました。花扇の楼主がアザミに望むものが何なのかも気になる。とにかく心意気と悪意と欲がぐっちゃぐちゃに渦巻いてて、昭和平成の昼ドラみたーい！すごーい！となります。あと、男性陣がやたらと色気がある。

When I read volume 7, I thought “I'm tired because it's full of malicious traps ~, maybe I'll stop reading it once,” but after reading volume 8, I decided to continue. Yamabuki Kakai was so cool! I thought he was someone who had made up his mind, but the intensity of his anger was more overwhelming than I had imagined. I'm also curious about what the owner of Hanafen wants from Azami. Anyway, my spirit, malice, and greed are swirling around so much, and I want to watch a Showa Peace daytime drama! that's amazing! It will be. Also, the male team has a lot of sex appeal.

最高！

the best!

最初はまあまあと思っていたのですが、話が進むにつれて面白くなります！作画もお話に合っているので違和感なし！

At first I thought it was ok, but it gets interesting as the story progresses! The drawing also fits the story, so there's no sense of incongruity!

どんどん面白くなってくる

It's getting more and more interesting

最初はただのエロ系漫画(「ただの」とは失礼ですね)なのかな？と思いましたが、読んでいるうちに理不尽に立ち向かう主人公の葛藤や関わるキャラクターの心情が描かれていて段々面白くなってきました。サスペンスの要素も出てきて、これからの展開が楽しみです?

At first, they're just erotic comics (“just” is rude, isn't it?)? I thought, but as I read it, it gradually became interesting because it depicts the conflict of the protagonist who confronts unfairness and the feelings of the characters involved. Suspense elements have also come up, so are you looking forward to future developments?

題材は吉原ですが共感できる

The subject is Yoshiwara, but I can sympathize

吉原と言う環境の中の話だけど、日本人の女性として今を生きる一種の歯痒さ男性優位の意識が残る会社での女性の扱い方などと通じ、共感出来る部分が多いです。主人公の芯の真っ直ぐさが、見ていてすっきりするし自分だったら、何を貫いて生きていきたいのかとても考えさせられます。おすすめです。

It's a story in an environment called Yoshiwara, and there are many parts I can sympathize with, such as living today as a Japanese woman, such as the kind of itchy teeth and how women are treated in a company where a sense of male dominance remains. The directness of the main character's core makes me feel refreshed when I look at it, and it really makes me think about what I would like to live my life through. I recommend it.

アザミちゃん頑張れ！

Do your best, Azami!

This review contains spoilers. 絵が綺麗で素敵でよくある遊女の漫画かと思ってましたが、が！！！ここまでずっと読み進めて更新待ってきました、人生ドラマあり、秘めた禁断の恋あり、親に売られても人間！いやぁーなお客と問題乗り越えてほしい、、、美しさや知名度いろんな羨望の先はみんなアザミちゃん！皆んなが着いてるからー頑張って欲しい！漫画の中だけどアザミちゃんに逢いたいなぁーー次の発売まだどうなるのか妄想捗りますね?

This review contains spoilers. The pictures are beautiful and wonderful, and I thought it was a common comic about prostitutes, but!! I've been reading this far and waiting for updates, there are life dramas, there are hidden forbidden loves, and even if sold by parents, they are human! I want them to overcome problems with good customers... everyone who has all kinds of envy for beauty and name recognition is Azami! Everyone has arrived - I want you to do your best! It's in the comic, but I want to meet Azami-chan... I'm still fantasizing about what the next release will be like, isn't it?

ハマります

I'm addicted

This review contains spoilers. 吉原の話を現代版にしただけでこんなにも潔く面白くなるなんて。親に売り飛ばされたアザミが吉原一に成り上がる話だけかと思ったらそうでもない。付箋がたくさんあって、このまま長編のドラマもちろんシリーズ化してもらいたい。

This review contains spoilers. I can't believe just making the story of Yoshiwara in a modern version makes it so clean and interesting. If you think it's just a story where thistles sold off by parents turn up in Yoshiwara Hajime, that's not the case either. There are a lot of sticky notes, and of course I want them to continue making a long drama into a series.

I was drawn to it

アザミちゃんの人としての成長、心の葛藤、恋心…それぞれがどんどん展開されて、絡んで、離れて、気づいたらあっという間に読んでました！周りの人達も魅力的な登場人物ばかりで、とても面白いです。絵も綺麗ですね✨続きが気になる〜

Azami's growth as a person, emotional conflict, love... each unfolded more and more, and I was reading it in no time when I noticed it! The people around me are all fascinating characters, and it's very interesting. The picture is beautiful too ✨ I'm worried about the continuation ~

It's awesome

This review contains spoilers. たまたま読み始めたらドップリとハマりました..ストーリー、絵の感じ、クセになる。何より主人公のアザミが強くなっていく様子が最高。ただのラブストーリーじゃない、おもしろいです！

This review contains spoilers. It just so happened that when I started reading it, I was totally addicted to it... the story, the feeling of the picture, it became addictive. Above all, it's great to see how the main character, Thistle, is getting stronger. It's not just a love story, it's funny!

ハマる！

I'm addicted to it!

これはハマる。絵が特徴的で敬遠してたけど、もっと早く読めばよかった！（お顔で見分けられない時がある）これはハマる。ヒロインに幸せになってほしい。ヒロインがスカッとさせてくれる部分が醍醐味な漫画だろうけど、遊女の深い葛藤や業や嘆きが根底にしっかり書かれてて、読めば読むほど味が出るタイプの作品だなあと。

I'm addicted to this. The picture is so characteristic that I shunned it, but I wish I had read it sooner! (There are times when you can't tell them apart on your face) I'm addicted to this. I want the heroine to be happy. The part where the heroine makes you feel refreshed is probably the most exciting comic, but it's a type of work where the deep conflicts, karma, and lament of a prostitute are well written at the root, and the more you read it, the more you taste it.

心に響いた

It resonated with my heart

恋に悩んだり人生に悩んだりするお話。最新巻で急に、自分の心にも刺さるセリフを言われました。当然泣きましたし、私自身が救われた気分です。主人公のアザミは弱くて強いです。そんなアザミに、周りの人は惹き込まれていきます。私もそのうちの一人です。アザミのファンになりました。

A story about struggling with love and worrying about life. I was suddenly told a line that stuck in my heart in the latest volume. Of course I cried, and I feel like I was saved. The main character, Thistle, is weak and strong. People around them are drawn to such thistles. I'm one of them. I'm now a fan of thistle.
