The settings for the modern version of Yoshiwara have changed, which is interesting. Also, it's nice that the picture is beautiful. Good luck Azami! I want to cheer for it.

アザミの成長から目が離せない

Keep an eye on the growth of thistles

生きるために吉原でもがくアザミの恋や成長していく姿がとってもいいです。いよいよ三倉さんな気持ちも動き出すのかなと思うとますます目が離せません

It's so nice to see Thistle's love and growth struggling in Yoshiwara to live. When I think that Mikura-san's feelings are finally starting to move, I can't take my eyes off it more and more

おもしろい！

It's interesting!

吉原と聞いたら、男に虐げられる可哀想な女の人の話を想像してあまり読む気にならないんだが、この話は現代？の設定なのもあってか精神的に男に屈しない力強い女性が描かれていて見ていて爽快。主人公を見ていてこちらも励まされるし応援したくなる！早く続きが読みたい！

When I hear Yoshiwara, I imagine a story about a poor woman being oppressed by a man and don't really feel like reading it, but is this story modern? It depicts a strong woman who doesn't give in to men mentally, probably because of the setting, and it's exhilarating to watch. Watching the main character also encourages me and makes me want to cheer! I want to read more soon!

設定がおもしろい。吉原でヒロインが成長していく感じもあるけど芯は変わってなくて、幸せになってほしいなーと思います。

The settings are interesting. There is also a feeling that the heroine is growing up in Yoshiwara, but the core hasn't changed, and I want her to be happy.

おもしろい！

It's interesting!

昔の吉原の話ではなくて、現代に吉原があるという設定がおもしろい！最初は主人公が吉原は芸能界みたいなところって聞いてるって言ってて、無知すぎだろう！って思ったけど、両親への怒りを糧に頑張る姿が強くて良い！糀谷のキャラが思ってたのと違って衝撃的！三倉さんカッコイイ！

It's not about Yoshiwara in the old days; the setting where Yoshiwara exists today is interesting! At first, the main character said he heard that Yoshiwara is a place like the entertainment industry, and that's probably too ignorant! I thought, but it's nice that they are strong enough to use anger against their parents to do their best! It's shocking that the Kojiya characters are different from what I expected! Mikura-san is so cool!

絵めっちゃきれい

The picture is so beautiful

This review contains spoilers. 吉原の話ですが、全然いたさないとこが面白い。そんなことある？って思うけど、そんな大事にされることあるかな。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story about Yoshiwara, but it's interesting that they didn't show up at all. is there such a thing? I think, but I wonder if there are things that are so important.

おすすめ！！

I recommend it!!

先月単話？分冊？が大特価だったので試し読みしてみて、、、面白さにスッカリ魅了されまんまと一気買いしました（笑）そもそも遊郭とか吉原とか大好きだったのですがこのアレンジ設定は上手過ぎる！イラストも好みです♡

Single episode last month? branch? It was a big bargain, so I tried reading it... I was so fascinated by the fun and bought it all at once (laughs) I loved Red Kaku and Yoshiwara in the first place, but this arrangement is too good! I like the illustrations too ♡

設定がすごい。

The settings are amazing.

数年前から単行本追いかけてます。絵がすごく綺麗で、お話も独特で面白い。主人公が、育った環境の割に真っ直ぐで強く前向き。なので、舞台が現代版吉原で決して明るいだけのお話ではないけど、嫌な気持ちにならずに読めます(個人的に、バッドエンドや暗いグロいドロドロなどのお話は好まないので)。お話の着地点が今からとても楽しみ！早く続きが読みたいです。

I've been chasing books since a few years ago. The pictures are so beautiful, and the story is unique and interesting. The main character is straight, strong, and forward-looking in spite of the environment he grew up in. So, the setting is the modern version of Yoshiwara, and it's definitely not just a bright story, but I can read it without feeling bad (personally, I don't like stories with bad endings or dark, gloomy mush). I'm really looking forward to the story's landing point from now on! I want to read more soon.

It's unbearable how the main character gradually acquires nobility and strength as a flower leader. Men who are at the mercy of such a protagonist are also good

言わずもがな…

needless to say...

This review contains spoilers. 遅ればせながら読みました。大賞作品、言わずもがなですが面白い。昔見た“吉原が燃えちゃう”映画が好きだった事思い出しました。こちらは現代の漫画ですので少しライトでコミカルですが、悲しい境遇の女性達を見てるとやはり複雑な気持ちになりますね…個性溢れる男性キャラの中では、やはり三倉さんが好きだけど実は１番罪作りな男だなと思ったりもします。クズでしつこい糀谷さんも何故か嫌いになれない…特筆すべきは絵の綺麗さ、花魁の半端ない美しさだけでも見る価値有りかと。ヒロインがどういう方向に転ぶのか、道は険しくとも力強く進んで行って欲しいな、と切に願います。まだまだ先は長い感じですが、最後は爽快感たっぷりスカッとで！！

This review contains spoilers. I read it late. Needless to say, it's a grand prize-winning film, but it's interesting. It reminded me that I loved the movie “Yoshiwara Will Burn” that I watched a long time ago. This is a modern comic, so it's a bit light and comical, but it still makes me feel mixed when watching women in sad circumstances... Among male characters full of personality, I still like Mikura-san, but I also think that he is actually the man who made the most crime. I can't dislike Mr. Kojiya, who is scum and persistent, for some reason... What is remarkable is the beauty of the picture, and I think it's worth seeing just for the beauty of the flower grunt. I sincerely hope that the heroine will turn in any direction and that she will move forward powerfully even if the road is steep. It feels like there's still a long way to go, but at the end it was so refreshing!!

先が気になってたまらない作品！！

It's a work I can't help but be worried about the future!!

現代版吉原っていう設定がまず面白い。ベタな恋愛ものは白けちゃったり胸焼けするようになってきたこの頃なので、決して現実からかけ離れすぎてない設定と、ベタベタな恋愛ものすぎない世界観が大人っぽくてハマりました。絵が綺麗で表情とか動き?がリアルで(スタイルとかは美しすぎてリアルじゃないんだけど)ドラマを見てるような感覚。何より出てくる女性たちが皆んな芯があって魅力的ですごく応援したくなります！！それぞれの一途な想いにグッときます?色々拗らせてきた大人女子に特におすすめします！?

First of all, the setting called the modern version of Yoshiwara is interesting. It's around this time that solid romance things have gone white and my heart is burning, so I'm addicted to the setting, which is by no means too far from reality, and the worldview that isn't too sticky romance too adult-like. the picture is beautiful and there are facial expressions and movements? It's real (the style and stuff are too beautiful to be real) and I feel like I'm watching a drama. Above all else, all of the women who come out are so charming that I really want to support them!! are you surprised by their unwavering feelings? I especially recommend it to adult girls who have been so stubborn!?

いい意味で予想外の展開に。

It was an unexpected development in a good sense.

This review contains spoilers. 現代の吉原という設定なので、ファンタジーだと思って読んでいます。はじめの方を読んで、お金持ちのイケメンの客に恋をして身請けしてもらうまでの話かと思ったら、全然違っておもしろいです。アザミちゃんは弱さと強さの両面があり、不器用で悩みながらも、努力して成長していく様子が描かれていて、応援したくなります。そして、三倉さんがいい人すぎます。お金持ちに身請けしてもらった方が幸せなのに〜って思っちゃいますが、アザミちゃんは自分の力で借金を返して、三倉さんと結ばれるんだろうなって思います。その頃には両親への復讐なんてどうでもよくなっているのか、何かしてすっきりするのか、どうなるでしょうか。想い合っているのに結ばれてはいけない２人がじれったいですが、そこがいいです。男嫌いなのに、好きな人を想像しながら、好きでもない人に抱かれるって辛いですよね。それも好きな人がいる場所で。幸せになってくれますように。

This review contains spoilers. The setting is present-day Yoshiwara, so I read it thinking it's fantasy. When I read the beginning and thought it was a story about falling in love with a rich handsome customer and getting them to take care of themselves, it's completely different and interesting. Azami is both weak and strong, and it depicts how she makes an effort to grow while being clumsy and troubled, and I want to cheer her for her. Also, Mikura-san is too nice. I think I'd be happier if I had a rich person take care of me, but I think Azami will use her own power to pay off her debts and end up with Mikura-san. By that time, they don't care about taking revenge on their parents, and what will happen if they do something to feel refreshed? Two people who have feelings for each other but aren't supposed to get together are mixed up, and that's good. Even though you don't like men, it's painful to be held by someone you don't like while imagining someone you like. It's also in a place where there are people I like. I hope they will be happy.

現代の吉原、面白い発想。

Modern day Yoshiwara, an interesting idea.

This review contains spoilers. 話の出だしと主人公やまわりのキャラが面白い。最初はそう思い、購入してみました。現代の吉原、TLなのだと理解してましたが、このぐらいの肌色なら読めます。主人公やまわりの方々の思惑、過去、トラウマ。テーマパーク化した吉原ですが、昔の遊郭と同じように借金等で女性は一夜限りの、嘘の夢と愛を売る。そして今も昔も代わらない。女性を買う側の男性を私は好きになれませんが、戦時中などは国の認可でそういう遊郭が多かったのも事実。「春」を売り買いしない日本なんてくるのか？…なんて、想いながら読ませていただいてます。

This review contains spoilers. The beginning of the story and the main character and surrounding characters are interesting. I thought so at first, so I bought it. I understood that it was a modern day Yoshiwara TL, but I can read it if my skin color is about this. The speculations, past, and trauma of the protagonist and those around him. Yoshiwara has been turned into a theme park, but just like the old red-light district, women sell false dreams and love for one night only due to debts, etc. And it hasn't changed now or in the past. I don't like men on the side that buys women, but it's also true that during wartime, etc., there were many red-light districts like that due to national approval. What kind of Japan doesn't buy and sell “spring”? ... I'm reading it with all my heart.
