面白いけど

It's interesting but

面白かったです！ただわかりにくさもあったかな。話自体が複雑というのもあるだろうけど、登場人物の会話がなんだか読みにくい。草間さんはもともとこんな感じという気もしたけど、この作品は特にそれが濃いような。ストーリー的に意図的なのかもですが。続編で色々わかるようなので、こちらの読み返しも今から楽しみです。

That was interesting! I wonder if it was just difficult to understand. The story itself is probably complicated, but the characters' conversations are somewhat difficult to read. I also had a feeling that Kusama was originally like this, but this work is particularly strong. Maybe it was intentional in terms of story. It seems like I can understand a lot in the sequel, so I'm looking forward to rereading it now.

え？！

huh?!

ストーリーが難しいとかより最初の方、キャラで混乱しました、、、ちょっと戻りながら読み進めました。頭がシャッキリしてるときに読まなきゃダメですね！また再読してみたいとは思ってます！追記続編読んでだいぶ色んなことが消化できました！これでもっかいこちらも読んでみようと思います

Rather than the story being difficult, I was confused by the characters at the beginning... I went back and read on. You must read it when your head is clear! I want to read it again! Postscript I was able to digest quite a lot of things by reading the sequel! Now I think I'll read this one too

3.5☆

3.5 ☆

作画はあんま好みじゃない。丁寧に描いてるかはわからないのだけど、絵のタッチが雑な感じの絵、沢山の線で描いてるような。そして雰囲気や顔立ち体格が似ていてわかりにくい。最初の「みえない友達」の方、二度読みとかはしてないけど、理解しないと進まないので序盤は時間かかった。ゆうちゃんに記憶を忘れさせる方が良いと言う方向性や明かせない事情とかもあって、不振な点がありわかりにくかった、表題作の方は言いにくい話だったのがあって簡単にはわからなかった。と言う感じ。どっちも確かにどゆこと？とは思ったけど、複雑で情報がないだけで短い話だから直ぐにわかったし、ちょっとミステリーな感じは味わえなかったかな。そして、完結となってるけど、なんだかなー。合わないのかな、モヤりとする作品。簡単過ぎないのは好きだし悪くはないけど、読み手としてはキャラ見分けがつきにくい上に少ない情報で複雑なので読むのが面倒になりそうだった。評価は3.5☆

I don't really like drawing. I don't know if they're drawing carefully, but the touch of the picture is rough, and it's like drawing with lots of lines. Also, the atmosphere and facial features are similar, so it's hard to understand. The first one, “My Invisible Friend,” hasn't been read twice, but if you don't understand it, it won't progress, so the beginning took a while. There were also directions where it was better to make Yu-chan forget her memories and circumstances that couldn't be revealed, and there were sluggish points that were hard to understand, and the title story was hard to say, so I didn't understand it easily. I feel like that. Are they both sure? I thought, but since it's a complicated, short story with no information, I understood it right away, and I guess I wasn't able to enjoy the feeling that it was a bit mysterious. And it's finished, but I wonder what it is. This work is confusing as to whether it doesn't fit. I like the fact that it's not too easy, and it's not bad, but as a reader, it was hard to tell the characters apart, and it was complicated with little information, so it seemed like it would be a hassle to read. The rating is 3.5 ☆

ミステリーBL

Mystery BL

This review contains spoilers. ミステリー要素4.5、BL要素は4くらいですかね。BL的にはさっさと進む感じがしました。が、ミステリー要素は、、、今巻では予測はできるけど、何もわからないまま終わります。続巻の「センスオブワンダー」でもかなり解明されつつも、全ては明らかにはなりません。当時の大人が皆亡くなってしまっているからもありますが…。そして、隠れてる部分はかなりヘビーです。。。でも、皆の性格が、明るめなので暗くなり過ぎないです。過去の自分とも、現在の自分とも上手く付き合っていけてるように見えます。題材が結構重くて、、⭐︎5はつけられませんでした。でも、ストーリーはすごく細かく作られてます。

This review contains spoilers. The mystery element is 4.5, and the BL element is probably about 4. I felt like it was progressing quickly in terms of BL. However, the mystery element... can be predicted in this volume, but it ends without understanding anything. Even though quite a bit has been elucidated in the next volume “Sense of Wonder,” not everything is clear. There is also the fact that all the adults at that time have passed away... Also, the hidden part is pretty heavy... But everyone's personalities are bright, so it doesn't get too dark. It seems like I'm getting along well with my past self and my current self. The subject was pretty heavy... I couldn't add ⭐ ︎ 5. But the story is very detailed.

面白い

interesting

気が付くとこの作家さんの作品が本棚に増えていってます。絵はあまり好きですはないですが、お話しは文句なく興味深くそしてエンターテイメント性があります。何処までが本当に起こった事なのか、何処までが妄想なのか判らないまま読み進めていくしかないです。一先ずここで起こっている事は誰かの真実なのですから。

Before I knew it, the number of works by this artist was increasing on my bookshelf. I don't really like pictures, but the stories are unquestionably interesting and entertaining. I have no choice but to read on without knowing how far this really happened or where it was delusional. First of all, what is happening here is someone's truth.

難しい。でも面白かった

difficult. But it was interesting

This review contains spoilers. 推理小説のようなBLでした。しろく君が小さい時にであったゆー君をだれも知らないって言うのが、ちょっとどきどきワクワクしちゃいました。なぞがとけるにつき、へーっ、へーっ！って思いながら読みました。

This review contains spoilers. It was BL like a mystery novel. I was a little thrilled and excited to say that no one knows Yu-kun when Shiroku was little. As the riddle gets solved, heh, heh! I read it while thinking about it.

ミステリーとして読むとワクワクする

It's exciting to read it as a mystery

『みえない友達』は表題作と無関係の話かと思ったらガッツリ繋がっていて、点と点が散りばめられたまま表題作に入り、しろう君とゆうちゃんのことが気になっていたはずなのに、イブ先生と稜の探りあうような掛け合いを楽しんでしまった。イブ先生の飄々した人を食ったような、でも、無邪気なキャラクターが魅力的で、閉所恐怖症で意固地な感じもする稜が意外と冷静に周囲をよく見ていて、なのに自分の気持ちには無自覚で、作品に登場する男たちがみんな愛すべきキャラクターだった。ＢＬ作品として読むと少し物足りなさは残るけれど、ミステリーの序章として読むとワクワクする。

When I thought “Invisible Friend” was a story unrelated to the title work, they were closely connected, and I went into the title work with the dots scattered around, and even though I must have been worried about Shiro-kun and Yu-chan, I enjoyed the interaction between Eve sensei and Ryō. The innocent character, which seems to have eaten Mr. Eve's grumpy person, was attractive, and Ryo, who is claustrophobic and has a sense of determination, was surprisingly calm and looked closely at her surroundings, yet she was unaware of her own feelings, and all the men appearing in the work were characters that all the men appearing in the work should love. It's a bit unsatisfactory when read as a BL work, but I'm excited when I read it as a prelude to a mystery.

完結じゃないね

It's not complete

センスオブワンダーまで読まないと、何一つ謎は解き明かされない。さほど難解には感じなかったけど、謎の提示の仕方はうまいと思った。イブさんと稜の関係が楽しくて、あまり深刻な感じは受けずに読んでしまった。私はこの連作あんまり深読みせずに面白かった、良かったねで終わらせたい。

If you don't read Sense of Wonder, you won't be able to unravel any mystery. I didn't feel that difficult to understand, but I thought they were good at presenting mysteries. The relationship between Eve and Ryo was fun, and I read it without feeling too serious. I didn't read this series of works too deeply, and I want to finish it by saying it was interesting and good.

独特でした。

It was unique.

This review contains spoilers. 推理小説を読むような感覚でした。人物を理解するのも内容を整理するのも１度では難しくて何度も読み返しました。わかりにくいと言ってしまうと描き方が悪いのかとも思うのですがこれはこれでよく構成されていると思います。ゆうととこうしろうの昔の話がテーマではありますが現在の2人の話はほとんど描かれずに稜とイブさんの話に絡んでくる感じであの2人やっちゃってるっていうイブさんの感？読心術？ホントのところどうなんでしょうか。キスはしてましたからそういう流れなんでしょうか。南くんもなかなかいいキャラでした。イブさんと稜の空気感がとてもいいです。

This review contains spoilers. It felt like reading a mystery novel. It was difficult to understand the characters and organize the content at once, so I reread it over and over again. If I say it's hard to understand, I think the drawing method is bad, but I think this is well-structured. The theme is an old story of Yuto and Koshiro, but the current story of the two people is hardly depicted, and it feels like they are involved in the story of Ryō and Eve, and it's like Eve-san's feeling that those two people have become people? mind reading? How is it really? They were kissing, so I wonder if that's how it went. Minami-kun was also a pretty good character. The atmosphere between Eve and Ryō is very nice.

一筋縄ではいかない

It's not that easy

1回目では分からなかった。何度か読んでも真実ははっきりしなくて記憶のピースは空いたままだけどそこも含めて考察の余地があって面白かったです。

I didn't understand it the first time. Even after reading it a few times, the truth wasn't clear, and the memory pieces were still empty, but there was room for reflection, including that, which was interesting.

表題作とその前日譚、謎めいた2本立て

The title work and its prequel story, an enigmatic two-part series

This review contains spoilers. 表題作の前に前日譚的な中編が載っている2本立て。他の方のレビューにある通り、確かに難しい。先が気になってグイグイ読めて面白かったけど疲れたー。無粋かもだけど解説が聞きたい。「みえない友達」元引きこもり同士の幸四郎×沖津。幼い頃の幸四郎の友達、他の誰も覚えていない「ゆうと」について。どういうこと？？と頭を捻らせながら、なんとか理解しようと没頭して読みました。全部読んだらなるほどと思えるけど、やっぱり難解。幸四郎はどうして分かったんだろう。確実にいるのに出てこない板東がまさに見えない友達で面白いな。南の柔軟性もすごい！「ワンダーフォーゲル」閉所恐怖症の沖津(稜)×小説家の伊武。沖縄で野営しながら働いている稜は、嵐の夜に広くて静かな伊武の家に世話になることに。考えていることが読めるのかと思ったら、心が読めるのか。本当なのか妄想なのか、半信半疑ながら伊武自身を信じた稜の迷いなさがかっこよかった。伊武の力もまた細部が難しいな…。続編でもう少し理解が深まればいいな。

This review contains spoilers. This is a 2-book series with a prequel novella prequel before the title work. As others have reviewed, it's certainly difficult. I was curious about the future, and it was interesting to read, but I'm tired. It may be silly, but I'd like to hear an explanation. “Invisible Friend” Koshiro and Okitsu are former hikikomori. About Koshiro's friend when he was young, “Yuto,” which no one else remembers. what does that mean?? While twisting my head, I immersed myself in reading it in an attempt to understand it somehow. I think it would be enough if I read them all, but it's still difficult to understand. How did Koshiro find out. Bando who definitely exists but doesn't show up is an invisible friend, which is interesting. The flexibility of the south is amazing too! “Wonder Vogel”: Okitsu (Ren), a claustrophobic person, x novelist Ibu. Ryō, who works while camping in Okinawa, is taken care of in a spacious and quiet house in Ibu on a stormy night. If you wonder if you can read what you think, can you read minds? The hesitation of Ryō, who believed in Ibu himself while doubting whether it was true or a delusion, was cool. The details of Ibu's power are also difficult... It would be nice if the sequel deepened my understanding a little more.

一読では何が何やら

What is what in the first reading

This review contains spoilers. わからなかったです。２度読んでなるほど。もう一度読んだらもっとわかるかな？でもまた今度にしようと思いました。フェ〇ということから、だからお祖父さんが記憶を消したのかと思いました。沖津のノートは残ってないのでしょうか。読者が色々と考えて、こういうことかな？と納得する作品なのかな。草間先生スキな方か難しいお話がスキな方に良いのでしょう。私は草間先生スキなのでほうほうと読みました。不思議なお話で何回か読んだら味が変わってきそうな感じがします。大学でマルチの勧誘やってる始まりでもう目がテンですもの。こんなBLないですよね。悲喜劇的だと思いました。2017年6月総200ページ修正はトーン、白抜き。

This review contains spoilers. I didn't understand it. I read it twice so much. Would you understand more if you read it again? But I thought I'd do it again next time. Since it was Fe-0, I thought that's why my grandfather erased his memory. Isn't Okitsu's notebook left? Readers think a lot, is this what it is? I wonder if it's a work that convinces me. Kusama sensei is probably better for those who are good at difficult stories. I'm a Kusama sensei suki, so I read it carefully. It's a strange story, and I feel like the taste will change after reading it a few times. I started out soliciting for multiple jobs at the university, and I'm already tired of it. There's no BL like this, is there? I thought it was tragicomedy. The 2017/6 200-page revisions were toned and blank.

レビューを読んで覚悟はしてましたがやっぱりよくわからない｡特に最初の話。何回か読み返しましたがなんとなくそうなのかな？？という感じ。ただ子供時代のゆうちゃんがすごーく可愛かったので星四つです。

I was prepared to read the reviews, but I still don't really understand, especially the first one. I've reread it a few times, but somehow that seems like it?? That's what it feels like. However, Yu-chan was so cute when she was a kid, so it's 4 stars.

BL感は少なめ

There is little sense of BL

表題作とあわせて、2作品ですが、どちらも読むことで、話がわかるというか、とても、謎の？ん、なんとも、不思議な世界観でした。そこに、愛というものはもしかしたら、あるのかしらん、、的な何度読んでも、不思議な感覚で、さすが、草間先生だわと、いう感じでした。

Together with the title work, there are 2 works, but by reading both, you can understand the story, or is it very, very mysterious? Hmm, it was such a strange view of the world. No matter how many times I read it, I wonder if there is something called love there... it was a strange feeling, and as expected, it was Kusama sensei.

読み返し必須

Reread required

結構難解な話です。初めて読んだときは混乱して行ったり来たりしながら進めました。二度目もやっぱり混乱して同じことをしました。笑不思議要素があるのですが、その原因が超能力だったり精神疾患ゆえだったり事実だったりするので余計に混乱します。でも根っこの感情の部分は相変わらず草間さかえさんらしいキャラばかりでほっこりします。両思いって良いですねー。

It's a pretty difficult story. When I first read it, I was confused and proceeded back and forth. After all, I was confused the second time and did the same thing. lol there's a mysterious element, but it's extra confusing because the cause is a fact, such as superpowers or mental illness. But the root emotional part still makes me feel relaxed because there are still only characters that look like Sakae Kusama. It's good to have both feelings.

It was deep and intricate, and a little difficult, but it's still interesting. Kusama sensei made me want to know how to draw up a story. Shiro-kun found Yu-chan, whom she no longer played with when she was young, in college. The content was unimaginable.

作者買い

Buy the artist

エロあり。最初の話はキスだけ。狭い枠に奥行きのある絵が凄い。話は自閉症や閉所恐怖症の人が出てきて分かりにくい。ただ分かりにくいこと自体が伏線なのではと読み進める楽しみあり。南くんが何か良い。次の話が表題作最初の話が理解出来ず最後まで読んでもう1度読み返し。妄想症か心が読める。寝ぼけて他人のを触るのはエロかった。でも『最後』までしてない(してる絵無し)が残念。

There is eroticism. The first story was just a kiss. The picture with depth in a narrow frame is amazing. The story is hard to understand because people with autism and claustrophobia come up. However, it is fun to read on, thinking that the fact that it is difficult to understand itself is a foreshadowing. Minami is good about something. The next story is the title work, I couldn't understand the first story, so I read it until the end and reread it again. Is it paranoid? I can read minds. It was erotic to fall asleep and touch someone else. But it's a pity that they didn't make it to the “end” (no pictures they did).
