ストーリーも絵もかなり良き

The story and pictures are pretty good

5巻まで読了です。現代に遊郭吉原があるという設定も面白いです。設定やストーリーも面白く、説得力があります。大雑把に主人公である遊女の恋物語と言ってしまえばそれまでなんですが、各キャラクターの心情や機微がとても丁寧に描かれている作品だと思います。絵も独特のタッチですが、細かいところまで描かれているので、舞台設定と合わせても、すんなりと入ってきます。今後がまだまだ楽しみな作品です。

I've read up to 5 volumes. The setting where the red-light district Yoshiwara is located in the present day is also interesting. The setting and story are also interesting and compelling. Roughly speaking of the love story of a prostitute who is the main character, that is up to that point, but I think it is a work that very carefully depicts the feelings and subtleties of each character. The pictures also have a unique touch, but even when combined with the stage settings, they come in easily. It's a work I'm still looking forward to in the future.

かなり夢中

Pretty obsessed

タイトルに惹かれて読んでみると面白くてどんどん次が読みたくなりました。自分の知らない世界と、本当にあるのかもしれない世界、アザミが三倉さんとくっつくのか、糀谷様がどう変わっていくのか、早く次が読みたいです。

I was attracted to the title, and when I read it, it was interesting and I wanted to read the next one more and more. I want to read the next one as soon as possible about the world I don't know, the world that might actually exist, whether the thistle sticks with Mr. Mikura, and how Mr. Kojiya changes.

面白い

interesting

独特の絵ではありますが私は好きです。遊女とボディーガードの恋愛ですがどうなる事やら、、、一気読みしましたが先が気になります！

It's a unique picture, but I like it. The love between a prostitute and a bodyguard is what will happen... I read it all at once, but I'm curious about the future!

現代版さくらん？

modern version of cherry?

現代に吉原が存在するというSF？設定ですが、登場人物のキャラが皆とてもよく立っていて、ストーリーも面白いです。遊女の成長ストーリーに客との恋愛、裏切り、用心棒との恋愛、とあらすじを書くと、さくらんに似てますが、もっと金と欲でドロドロしていて楽しいです。次も早く読みたいです。

Sci-fi about Yoshiwara's existence in the present day? As for the setting, all of the characters stand very well, and the story is interesting. If you write a synopsis of Love with a Customer, Betrayal, and Romance with a Yojimbo in a prostitute's coming-of-age story, it's similar to Sakuran, but it's fun because it's more muddy with money and greed. I want to read the next one as soon as possible.

品のある遊郭もの

An elegant red-light district thing

とにかく画が美しい…遊郭ものなのでもちろんそういう描写もありますが、品のある美しさで見惚れてしまいます。表情の描写も繊細で、かと思えばコメディタッチでほっと笑える部分もあったりと、バランスの良い作品です。ストーリー自体も好みですし、時間を忘れて読み進めたくなるテンポ感も絶妙ですね。

Anyway, the picture is beautiful... it's a red light district, so of course, there are depictions like that, but I'm fascinated by its elegant beauty. The depiction of facial expressions is also delicate, and if you think about it, there are parts that make you laugh with a comedic touch, so it's a well-balanced work. I like the story itself, and the tempo that makes me want to forget about time and read on is also exquisite.

Not only is it a love affair, but the fun and difficult growth process is fun and makes me want to read on! This is a must read

絵が綺麗

The picture is beautiful

内容ももちろんだけど絵が綺麗ですらすら読んでしまう、、。最初はアザミ可哀想って思っていたけど吉原の人間のバトル？が面白い。

Of course, the content is too, but the pictures are so beautiful that I can even read them... At first I thought thistle was a pity, but is it a battle between people in Yoshiwara? It's interesting.

It was different from what I had anticipated and it was interesting. It was a pity at the beginning, but as I watched the thistle grow, it even seemed like it was right.

興味本位で見てみたら

I took a look at it out of interest

すごい。なにこれ面白い。ただの遊女ではなく、春を売るものとしてのプライドとか、経済としてしっかり成り立ってる世界。世界観がすごい。

That's amazing. What is this interesting. It's not just a courtesan, it's a world where the economy is firmly established, such as pride as selling spring. The view of the world is amazing.

これから　どうなっていくの

What's going to happen in the future

これからどうなっていくの　心で　おもっていても　態度に出せないって　許されないって　つらすぎますでも　人間　心は　べつものですよねどうなっていくのか　ハラハラドキドキ　で　目が離せないです

It's too hard not to be forgiven for not being able to take an attitude no matter what's going to happen in the future, but the human mind is something different, right? I can't take my eyes off what's going to happen

通常版購入済みなのにこちらも購入

Even though I already bought the regular edition, I bought this one too

This review contains spoilers. 通常版何かの賞をとったというので買ってみたら面白かったのでこちらも買ってしまいました。10億で買われたという荒唐無稽の話も現在の吉原という設定も丁寧に書かれているので、独特のリアリティーがあり気に入っています。登場人物がそれなりの事情をかかえ自意識があり、キャラがたっているところも好きです。主人公や回りの人が幸せになれば良いなと思っています。

This review contains spoilers. The regular edition won some kind of award, so I bought it and it was interesting, so I bought this one too. The ridiculous story that it was bought for 1 billion dollars and the current setting called Yoshiwara are carefully written, so I like it because it has a unique reality. The characters are self-conscious due to certain circumstances, and I also like the fact that the characters stand. I think it would be nice if the main character and the people around him would be happy.

惹き込まれました！

I was drawn in!

美しい花魁の表紙絵に目がとまり、ちょっと読んでみようかと、、、エッチメインの話だったら止めるつもりでしたが、どんどん引き込まれ一気に読んじゃいました！特に主人公が大好きですが、周りの人たちの暖かさもよき！です。これから先のお話も楽しみです。

I caught my eye on the cover picture of a beautiful flower grouse, and I thought I'd read it for a bit... I intended to stop it if it was a sex main story, but I was drawn in more and more and I read it all at once! I especially love the main character, but the warmth of the people around me is also great! That's it. I'm also looking forward to future stories.

ハマってしまい紙の単行本も買いました。吉原が舞台ですがそこまでエロい訳ではなくストーリーがしっかりしていてとても面白いです。周りのキャラクターのように読み進めるうちにどんどんアザミちゃんに惹かれていく。幸せになってほしいです。

I was so addicted to it that I bought a paper book too. It's set in Yoshiwara, but it's not that erotic, and the story is solid and very interesting. As I read on like the characters around me, I became more and more attracted to Azami. I want them to be happy.

けっこう面白い

It's pretty interesting

This review contains spoilers. 十億人のアレってなに？タイトルと時代設定がなんだかピンとこないまま、絵も今時っぽくてちょっと軽いかな〜と思っていたけど、読んでいたら引き込まれ4巻まで一気読みしちゃいました。次巻も期待しています。早く出ないかな

This review contains spoilers. What is that of a billion people? The title and period setting were somewhat out of focus, and I was wondering if the pictures looked like today and were a bit light, but when I was reading them, I was drawn in and read all 4 volumes at once. I'm also looking forward to the next volume. I wonder if it will come out soon
