内容がすごく良い

The content is very good

まずは1巻。絵は素朴な感じなんですが、人の良さがすごく顔にでている！内容の方は1巻はキスまで。すごくリアルで等身大のストーリーです。ゲイの先輩とノンケの後輩。付き合うきっかけも、後輩くんがなぜOKしたのかも、あ〜なるほどな…て思える。でも一緒に過ごすうちに先輩の事が好きなんだ…と気づいてしまう後輩。

First, volume 1. The picture has a simple feel, but the goodness of the people really shows on their faces! As for the content, volume 1 is Until the Kiss. It's a very realistic, life-size story. Gay seniors and nonke juniors. I think the reason we started dating and why my juniors were OK... I see... But as they spend time together, the juniors realize that they like their seniors...

ふつう普通フツウとはなんだろうと考える

I usually wonder what a normal futsu is

This review contains spoilers. リーマンの話。普通になれなくて...ってじゃあ、普通ってなんだ。同性が好きなことが普通じゃないのなら、異性が好きなことだけが普通なのか。男性だけの考えなら、ゲイとノンケ、アセクシャル、デミセクシャル、振り分けようと思えば他にもある。普通を決めたのは世間への考え方が不通の人だから、自由に好きな人と愛し合える世界になれれば、みんな幸せになれるのかな。悩みは尽きないけど。目の前にいる好きな人同士で、世界を作り上げることで幸せの形があるなら、それもいいじゃないかと思う。同性同士でも子供を育むことは出来る。湊君登場で夫夫のひとつの形には、この2人の『普通』が出来上がったように思う。その湊君が大きくなって、彼の『普通』をみつけて欲しい。直正也先生の『普通の恋愛』は、番外編幾つかあるのでそれも読みます?(^^)

This review contains spoilers. I'm talking about Lehman. I can't be normal... well then what is normal. If liking someone of the same sex isn't normal, is it only normal to like the opposite sex? If you only think about men, there are others if you want to sort gay and non-gay, asexual, and demisexual. People who have decided normal are people who don't understand the way they think about the world, so if we can become a world where people can freely love each other they like, I wonder if everyone will be happy. There's no shortage of worries though. If there is a form of happiness by creating a world between people you like right in front of you, I think that would be good too. Even people of the same sex can raise children. I think the “normal” of these two people was completed in the form of a husband with Minato's appearance. I want Minato to grow up and find his “normal.” There are several extra editions of “Normal Romance” by Nao Masaya sensei, so do you read those too? (^^)

よかったなです

I'm glad

ドラマ化するということで一気読みしました！久しぶりにジ〜ンときた作品です。主人公の葛藤や心が動く瞬間がとてもよくわかりました！これはドラマも楽しみです！！

It was going to be made into a drama, so I read it all at once! This is a work I haven't seen in a long time. I understood the protagonist's conflicts and heart-moving moments very well! I'm looking forward to this drama too!

普通について考える。読んでよかった。

Think about normal. I'm glad I read it.

This review contains spoilers. とても素敵な作品でした。同性愛者、デミセクシュアル、アセクシュアルの方のリアルな問題が分かった気がして読んでよかったと思います。普通とはなにか？主人公のふみさん、東くんの気持ちの変化が丁寧に描かれていて惹きつけられました。他の登場人物では、未来くんがとても気になりました。展開的に当て馬的な？と思っていたら違う！！そしてかわいい！！未来くんのスピンオフが見たいですね。周弥さんも最初はちょっと嫌な奴だと思ったけど。うんうん。みんな幸せになってほしいです。絵柄がふんわりして可愛らしく、全体的に読みやすかったです。難しいテーマも重くなりすぎず、あの優しい雰囲気のおかげで読み進めることができました！

This review contains spoilers. It was a very nice work. I'm glad I read it because I felt like I understood the real problems of homosexuals, demisexuals, and asexuals. What is normal? I was drawn to the careful depiction of the changes in the feelings of the main characters, Fumi, and Higashi-kun. As for the other characters, I was really interested in Mirai-kun. like a guessing horse in terms of development? If you think so, it's different!! And so cute!! I'd like to see a spin-off of Mirai-kun. At first, I thought Shuya was a bit of a bad guy, too. yeah yeah. I want everyone to be happy. The design was soft and cute, and overall it was easy to read. The difficult topics didn't get too heavy, and thanks to that gentle atmosphere, I was able to read on!

ほっこりする暖かくて優しいストーリー

A warm and gentle story that makes you feel relaxed

This review contains spoilers. 穏やかな日常ストーリーの中に、同性愛カップルの悩み、二人の思い、考えが、丁寧に描かれていて、とても良かったです！ふみさんのお母さん、とても優しくて良い人だなぁ、だからふみさんも優しい人なんだろうなぁと感じました。けいとのこれからも、もっと見たかったな?

This review contains spoilers. The worries of a homosexual couple and the thoughts and thoughts of the two were carefully depicted in a serene everyday story, and it was so nice! Fumi's mother is a very kind and nice person, so I felt that Fumi is also a kind person. Wouldn't you like to see more of Keito in the future?

考えさせられた。

It made me think.

こういう同性愛のことが話題に出る作品はたくさん見てきましたが題名がここまで直球なのは初めてです。「普通」という言葉はよく会話に出てくるほど使いますが意味について深くは考えていませんでした。しかし、今考えると「普通」を使うときはだいたい自分の考えを人に押し付けているときでした。相手の気持を考えずに自分の物差しで物事を決めていく。日本人はそれが多いと思います。少しでも何かがほかの人より異なっているすなわち「普通」ではない時その人に視線を送る。やはり、日本は「普通」に執着していると改めて思いました。

I've seen a lot of works that talk about homosexuality like this, but this is the first time that the title has gone so fast. I use the word “normal” so often that it comes up in conversation, but I didn't think deeply about the meaning. However, when I think about it now, when I use “normal,” it was mostly when I was imposing my own ideas on people. Decide things based on your own yardstick without thinking about the other person's feelings. I think Japanese people do that a lot. When something is even slightly different from others, that is, not “normal,” I send my gaze to that person. After all, I thought again that Japan is obsessed with “normal.”

すごく魅力的な作品だと思います。値段に対して少しページ数は少ないかもしれませんが、今の多様性の時代、一度は読んでみるといいと思います！

I think it's a very fascinating work. The number of pages may be a little small for the price, but in this age of diversity, I think it's a good idea to read it at least once!

普通とは？考えるお話

What is normal? A story to think about

This review contains spoilers. 初作家さんです！普通の恋愛って？と思ってしまう作品。上司・文原さんと部下・東さんが恋人になるまでの心の揺れ動き、葛藤、覚悟が繊細に丁寧に描かれています。それぞれの視点からお互いを視るとだいぶ食い違いやすれ違いも多い。最終的には同じ気持ちだと確認しあえてよかったな。やっぱり言葉にして伝えることって大事！ふたりの距離の縮め方や信頼関係は理想的です。ネコ吉ランドのふたりは最高に可愛かったです！

This review contains spoilers. I'm a first-time writer! What is a normal love affair? It's a work that makes me think. The emotional turbulence, conflict, and determination until the boss Fumihara-san and his subordinate Azuma become lovers are delicately and carefully depicted. There are quite a few discrepancies and differences when we look at each other from each point of view. I'm glad they finally confirmed that they felt the same way. After all, it's important to put it into words! A way to shorten the distance between two people and a relationship of trust is ideal. The two at Nekoyoshi Land were so cute!

号泣

crying

This review contains spoilers. もう、号泣しながら読み終えました。びっくりするほど泣いてしまいました。自分でも驚くくらい涙が止まらなくて、、、。。BL本というか教科書に載ってても良いくらいのセクシュアリティについてのヒューマンドラマというか。。色々考えさせられて胸が痛かったです。ふみさんが良い人すぎるよ、、。。幸せになってくれて良かったーーーーー！東くんはノンケといっても、、これもまた個人様々な性のお話ですね。2人が出会ってくれて神様ありがとうございます！スピンオフ？作品の方も拝読しましたがふみさんが東くんに惹かれていく過程などがもっと詳しく描かれていてこちらもまた胸熱でした。。。元彼さん、なんてやな奴なんだ！とか思ったけど、、彼にも過去に色々あったのかな。。威嚇したり牽制したりすることでしか自分を防衛出来ない人っているよね。きちんとふみさんに好きだったと伝えてくれてふみさんの過去が救われて良かったです。号泣！出会えて良かった漫画でした！まだまだ続きが読みたいです。2人がずっと幸せでありますように。

This review contains spoilers. I've already finished reading it while crying. I cried so much that I was surprised. I was so surprised that I couldn't stop crying... It's a BL book, or rather a human drama about sexuality that could be in a textbook... It made me think about so many things and it hurt my heart. Fumi is too nice... I'm glad you're happy! Even though Higashi-kun is a nonke... this is also a story about individuals of various sexes. Thank God the two of them met! spin-off? I also read the work, but the process by which Fumi became attracted to Higashi-kun was depicted in more detail, and this was also heartwarming... My ex boyfriend is such a bad guy! I thought, but I wonder if he also had a lot of things in the past... There are people who can only defend themselves by threatening or restraining themselves. I'm glad that Fumi's past was saved by properly telling Fumi that she liked her. crying! It was a comic that I was glad I came across! I still want to read more. May the two of them stay happy forever.

恋愛だけの話ではない普通

It's not just about love, normal

This review contains spoilers. 他所購入作品の為参考まで。1巻180P、2巻74P、3巻118P、4巻174P、5巻90P。会社の上司と部下がある日映画館で出会い、一緒に鑑賞した事から意気投合。それまでの関係からは考えられないほど近しい関係になる。普通の恋愛とは？多数の性とは違ったからといってそれが普通でなくなる事ではないのだとそれぞれの普通を問うたストーリー。家族であったり、友人であったり、元彼であったりの色々なエピソードを交えながら普通でも良いのだ、と思い過ごしながらのingで終わる感じがとても良い。「普通の恋愛」と打っているが恋愛を伴わない普通まで考えさせられ頷く。

This review contains spoilers. This is a work purchased elsewhere, so just for reference. Volume 1 is 180P, volume 2 is 74P, volume 3 is 118P, volume 4 is 174P, volume 5 is 90P My boss and subordinate at the company met at a movie theater one day, and since we watched together, they hit it off. It becomes an unimaginably close relationship from the relationship up until then. What is a normal love affair? It's a story about questioning the normal of each person, saying that just because they are different from many genders doesn't mean they are no longer normal. It's so nice to end up with ING while ignoring the thought that it's okay to be normal while exchanging various episodes of being family, friends, and ex-boyfriends. It says “normal romance,” but it makes me think about normal that doesn't involve love, and I nod.

A work that questions the meaning of normal. Even though I didn't like the design, I read it for some reason, read it all the way to the end, and it's a work where I quietly cried. Don't stop halfway through and be sure to make it to the end.

This review contains spoilers. I read it all at once. The two chose to stay together even though they had conflicts, and the scene with Ichiro's mother brought tears to my eyes. The title “Normal Love” is also wonderful, and it's really a normal romance for the two of them. After I finished reading it, I felt so happy.

タイトル通り

As the title says

男同士でも、普通に恋愛するよね…最後にそう思いました。フミさんは過去の恋愛や学生時代の苦い思い出、家族への葛藤もあって、東はノンケだから！と凝り固まってるけど、本当に出会えて良かったね。エチは無かったけど、続きの本にはガンガン出てるので、落ち着いて読めて楽しかった。絵がね、何だかモブと可愛いイケメンて感じだったけど、少しずつ変わっていってしまったかな～あと、最後のこども！似てるって言葉で東の兄弟の子どもを二人である日預かってて…というシーンかと思ったけど、養子縁組とかで二人が育ててる…という風にも見えるんだね。そっか。指輪してるしな…。顔が出ないから、かなり後の話って事だろうとは思った。

Even men usually fall in love with each other... I thought so at the end. Fumi also has past romances, bitter memories from her school days, and family conflicts, and that's because the east is uneventful! I'm really stuck, but I'm really glad we met. There was no etiquette, but it appeared in the next book, so it was fun to be able to calm down and read. The picture looked like a mob and a cute handsome guy, but I wonder if it changed little by little... and then, the last kid! I thought it was a scene where the two Higashi brothers' children are being taken care of by the word similar... but it also looks like the two are raising them through adoption or something... that's right. I'm wearing a ring... My face didn't show up, so I thought it would be a long time later.

幸せなお話

A happy story

This review contains spoilers. 最初に言ってしまうとキスまでの描写のみ、です。でも１巻途中くらいからぐっと引き込まれて、読後感は素晴らしくよかったです。たぶん位置的には先輩×クール後輩…だと思うのだけど、人物描写がとても丁寧で魅力的です。恋人の日常なんだけど、少しずつ時が流れて思いも変化していく様がよかったです。後輩君、見た目はかわいいのに男前です。それでも足りないところは先輩が包んでくれる、素敵な恋人関係でした。性別ではなく、人が人を好きになる素晴らしさを優しい絵柄で読ませてくれます。個人的には甘々Hの日常漫画よりそういう描写なくても、この2人ならでは！なお話が大好きです。

This review contains spoilers. If I had to say it at first, it's just a depiction of a kiss. But I was drawn in a lot from about the middle of volume 1, and the feeling after reading it was amazing. I think it's probably senpai x cool junior in terms of location, but the portrayals of the characters are very careful and attractive. It's a lover's everyday life, and it was nice to see how time passed little by little and my thoughts changed. My juniors are handsome even though they look cute. Even so, what was lacking was a wonderful romantic relationship where my seniors wrapped me up. It makes me read the splendor of people falling in love with people, not gender, with gentle designs. Personally, even if they don't have that kind of depiction from the everyday comic by Sweet H, it's unique to these two! Also, I love the story.

お互いを想い会う素敵なほんわかカップル

A wonderful warm and fuzzy couple who love each other

This review contains spoilers. エロシーンはないです。人の感情メインのお話です。本編からでなく馴初めのほうから読んでしまい、関係が進むのが早い感じもしていましたが。本編を読んで、主人公の過去の部分など読み進めていき、最後のほうは号泣でした。普通ってなんなのか？自分にとっての普通、それも大切だなと思いました。一良さんの元カレ話も、嘘ではなく本当のことだったという事実が心が辛かった。それでも、お互い想い合える東くんが良いですね！ほっこり、泣ける、そんなお話です。

This review contains spoilers. There are no erotic scenes. It's a story about people's emotions. I read it not from the main story, but from the beginning, and I also felt that the relationship progressed quickly. After reading the main story, I continued reading the main character's past parts, etc., and I cried towards the end. What is normal? I thought that was normal for me, and that was also important. The fact that the story about Ichiryo's ex-boyfriend was true and not a lie made my heart ache. Still, I like Higashi-kun, who has feelings for each other! It's a story that makes me feel relaxed and cried.

It's really nice that they really care for each other! Neither of them were particularly handsome, and I felt very close to them that they were really normal. It makes me feel like I want to watch the aftermath of these two forever.

凄い現実味のある素敵な物語でした。主人公一郎の心優しい性格と12歳も年下なのに真の通った心強い彼氏。じーんとくるシーンもあって決して長くはない話なのに読んだ後は満たされた気持ちでいっぱいになりました。

It was a wonderful story with a great sense of reality. The main character, Ichiro, has a kind-hearted personality and a reassuring boyfriend who really went through even though he was 12 years younger. There is also a scene where you can really take a long time, but after reading it, I was filled with a feeling of being satisfied.
