よい♪

good ♪

とにかく甘酸っぱく繊細で頬が緩む題名のワードも納得優しく見守る感じでずっと眺めていたいストーリー

Anyway, the word in the title is sweet and sour, delicate, and loose-cheek, and it's a story I want to watch for a long time with the feeling that I'm watching gently

焦れったくて…甘くて

I wanted to be impatient... so sweet

This review contains spoilers. 元ヤクザの薫はひょんなことから花屋の侑一郎を助けるが、行き場のない薫を今度は侑一郎が助けて…拾ってくれることに。薫は侑一郎に一目惚れして…想いを募らせるが、侑一郎の異母弟や双子の妹たちにはバレバレ…なのが面白かったです。侑一郎に想いを寄せるヤクザの若頭が花屋に通ってきたりと、薫には穏やかでいられないこともありますが…ここは異母弟の涼が薫に味方してくれて。見た目は嫋やかな女性に見える侑一郎が、予想外に強くて男気に溢れていて魅力的でした。

This review contains spoilers. Kaoru, a former yakuza, helps the flower shop Yuichiro by accident, but now Yuichiro helps... picks up Kaoru, who has nowhere to go. Kaoru falls in love with Yuichiro at first sight... but it was interesting that Yuichiro's half-brother and twin sisters found out... There are times when Kaoru can't stay calm, such as the young head of the yakuza who has feelings for Yuichiro going to the flower shop... my half-brother Ryo is on Kaoru's side here. Yuichiro, who looked like a gentle woman, was unexpectedly strong and full of manly spirit, and was charming.

ギャップがおもしろくて

The gap is interesting

This review contains spoilers. お花屋さんの美人受け！と思って読み始めましたけど、そのギャップにやられました、めっちゃ強い笑なのに好意を受け止めるのにもだもだしちゃうのも可愛かったです。あと、逐一、弟くんに相談に行っちゃう蜜谷くんもかわいいか…。

This review contains spoilers. The flower shop's beauty was accepted! I thought about it and started reading it, but I was taken by that gap, and it was so cute that even though it was such a strong laugh, it was so cute that they would even accept the favor. Also, one by one, is Mitsuya-kun, who goes to talk to his younger brother, cute too...

脇役も最高

The supporting characters are also the best

脇役で出てくる兄弟がめっちゃ　癖が強くて　特にお姉さん　女の人　BL　にあまり出てこないけど　この人は全然もっと　参加して

The siblings that appear in supporting roles have really strong habits, and in particular, the older sister is a woman, they don't appear in BL very often, but this person participated at all

that's the best!

面白い！ただの花屋さんと元ヤクザのお話なんだけど、出て来るキャラが濃い！絵が綺麗！アングルがいい！先が全く読めない！出て来るキャラがまさかの！！！もう、驚かされてばかりで面白かった。

interesting! It's just a story about a flower shop and a former yakuza, but the characters that come up are strong! The picture is beautiful! The angle is good! I can't read ahead at all! There's no way the characters that are coming out!!! I was already amazed and it was fun.

薫の髪が金髪が伸びて黒髪が混じる

Kaoru's blond hair grows and blends in with black hair

ミツバチ頭の元チンピラ×元警察関係者花屋美人白井家の皆さんはみんな美人かイケメン。雪柾さんが双子で警視とかかっこよ過ぎる。薔薇の本数で伝える思いが違うカンペ。いじらしく一途な薫に何気に優しい白井家の皆さん。エロないけども色気があります。

A former honeybee-headed thug x a former police official, a beautiful flower shop, everyone in the Shirai family is beautiful or handsome. Yukimasa is a twin and is too cool as a superintendent. The number of roses conveys a different kind of feeling. Everyone in the Shirai family is kind to the annoying and stubborn Kaoru. It's not erotic, but it has sex appeal.

優しく生きる

Live kindly

This review contains spoilers. いやぁ、3巻？が出て嬉しくて、購入しておいた。1-2巻はだいぶ前に買っていたのに、レビュー書いてなかったよう。この頃のは全然書いてなかったんだな。たぶん、端倉先生作品で最初に読んだ作品だと思う。エチはなし。でも、なんだかそれでいい優しく生きたいなと感じる作品。捨て駒にされた元チンピラに助けられて、助けた花屋の美人店長。人間不信でイガイガしていた薫を、受け入れ優しい世界に住まわせた有一郎。薫の懐いた野良犬が忠犬になった感じがいい（笑）有一郎の弟涼がかっこいい?が、あくまで脇役。贅沢なキャラだ（笑）かっこいい妹のことが3巻に出てきて、あぁ、なるほどなと思う。好意に慣れない、受け入れ難い有一郎の背景がわかる読者は、仕方ないなと思えるけど、薫が我慢して待てができるのは愛だなと思う。柔らかく、優しい世界に癒される。

This review contains spoilers. well, volume 3? I was happy that it came out, so I bought it. I bought volumes 1-2 a long time ago, but it seems like they haven't written a review. It wasn't written at all around this time, was it? I think it's probably the first work I read in Professor Hashikura's work. There is no etiquette. But it's a work that somehow makes me feel like I want to live a gentle life that's fine. A beautiful flower shop manager who was rescued and saved by a former thug who had been thrown away. Yuichiro made Kaoru, who was nervous due to distrust of humans, live in an accepting and kind world. I like the feeling that Kaoru's old stray dog has become a loyal dog (laughs) is Yuichiro's younger brother Ryo cool? But it's just a supporting role. It's a luxurious character (laughs) My cool little sister came up in volume 3, and oh, I think that's true. Readers who understand the background of Ichiro, who isn't used to being favored and is difficult to accept, think it can't be helped, but I think it's love that Kaoru can put up with it and wait. Be healed by a soft, gentle world.

いじらしい

It's messy

This review contains spoilers. 「いじらしい」という言葉は、このふたりのためにあるのかな。純粋に引かれ合うふたりに癒されました。これからも色々話が膨らみそうな予感。続編読みたいな。

臆病な者同士、大人なのにモダモダ純情ラブ

Modamoda pure love between timid people, even though they're adults

This review contains spoilers. ３巻まで読みました…が、私の記憶が確かなら「２巻完結」だったような？気がします。その当時２巻まで読んで、色々とハッキリしないままだけど、明るい未来を感じさせるふんわりした終わり方で、それはそれとして満足していました。過去があるもの同士、臆病という名の気遣いを持って少しずつ距離を縮めていく話です。なので、カテゴリはBLですけど少女漫画でもいけそうな軽い雰囲気しかありません。元ヤク◯設定も同じで、ストーリーに深く絡んでくることはありません。そんな感じでしたので、新刊の案内が来た時は驚きました。では、３巻で二人の間が進んだかと言うと…YESともNOとも言える感じですかね。精神的にも肉体的にも「亀の歩み」くらいスローな前進（DKよりも奥手な感じ）なので、人によって感じ方が違う気がします。でも、速度はともかく方向性はハッキリしたので、そこは大きな一歩だと思いました。そして、３巻でも「２巻のラスト再び」で、似たような終わり方をするので、ぶっちゃけ確かなものは何もない感じです。でもって、また完結になっています。あとがきには、続編（３巻）の執筆依頼があったこと、一旦ここ（３巻）で終わりなこと、また会えたら嬉しい（更なる続編？番外編？）ことが書いてありました。かなり含みのある内容と終わり方、スローペースなことで、好みが別れそうな気がします。私は、モダモダが好きですし続編も欲しい好きな作品です。

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 3 volumes... but if I'm sure of my memory, it would have been “volume 2 completed”? I feel like it. At that time, I read up to 2 volumes, and although various things weren't clear, it ended in a soft way that made me feel a bright future, and I was satisfied with that. It's a story about people with a past gradually shortening the distance with a concern called cowardice. So, although the category is BL, it only has a light atmosphere that would go well with girls' comics. The original Yaku◯ setting is the same, and it doesn't get deeply involved in the story. It was like that, so I was surprised when the announcement of the new publication came. So, when it comes to whether the relationship between the two progressed in volume 3... it feels like you can say YES or NO. It's a slow advance (more advanced than DK), mentally and physically, as “Turtle Walk,” so I feel that the way people feel it is different. But regardless of speed, the direction was clear, so I thought that was a big step. Also, even in volume 3, it's “the last of volume 2 again,” and it ends in a similar way, so I feel like nothing is really certain. But, it's finished again. In the afterword, there was a request to write a sequel (3 volumes), that it ended here (3 volumes), and I would be happy if we met again (further sequels? extra edition?) That was written on it. I feel like my tastes are going to split because of the content, the way it ends, and the slow pace. I like Moda Moda, and I want a sequel.

とにかく優しくて心が休まるお話でした。疲れた時に読み返したいです。ストーリーとしては割とよくある感じなのかな？と思いますが、2人の絶妙な距離の縮まり方、サブキャラの個性、絵も綺麗さも相まって頭ひとつ抜けた特別な作品になってるかな。

Anyway, it was a kind and relaxing story. I want to read it again when I'm tired. I wonder if it's a pretty common story? I think, the exquisite way the distance between the two was shortened, the individuality of the subcharacters, and the beauty of the pictures, and I think it's a special work that really stood out.

癒される

Be healed

This review contains spoilers. BLだけれど、腐女子を喜ばせるあのシーンは三巻でも出てきません。そんなんで、腐女子の私を納得させられるのかと思いきや、とてもよかったです。ほのぼので、じれじれで。元893で刑務所がえりの密田は、倒れていた花屋の店長侑一郎を助けたことがきっかけで、花屋で働くことに。侑一郎はとても世話焼きで距離感がバグっているのですが、とにかく優しい。そんな密田は侑一郎にベタぼれに。侑一郎の警察官の弟妹やら、密田の893時代の兄貴やらの脇役も個性的にしっかり描いて楽しめます。次の四巻が楽しみです。

This review contains spoilers. It's BL, but that scene that makes a rotten girl happy doesn't appear even in volume 3. That's why I thought they would convince me as a rotten girl, but it was great. It's heartwarming, so take it easy. Mitsuta, who was originally 893 and imprisoned, decided to work at a flower shop after helping Yuichiro, the manager of a flower shop who had fallen down. Yuichiro is very carefree and has a bad sense of distance, but he is kind anyway. Mitsurita fell in love with Yuichiro. You can enjoy drawing supporting characters such as Yuichiro's brother and sister, a police officer, and Mitsurita's older brother from the 893 era in a unique way. I'm looking forward to the next four volumes.

That was great

This review contains spoilers. お互いがお互いをとても大切に思い合うカップルで、読んでいてとてもホンワカとした気持ちになれる作品でした。よくあるすれ違いでギスギスした期間を過ごす…ことも無く、次のページではトラブルも解決していて、辛い思いにならなかったのが私はとても嬉しかったです。続編の3巻目はサブキャラクターにスポットライトが沢山当たっていてとても面白かったです。えっちなシーンはなかったけど、2人が幸せならOKです。とても良かったです！

This review contains spoilers. They were a couple who cared so much for each other, and it was a work that made me feel very excited when I read it. I was very happy that we didn't have to spend a hectic period of time due to common misunderstandings... and the problems were solved on the next page, so it wasn't a painful experience. The third volume of the sequel had a lot of spotlights on the subcharacters, which was very interesting. There wasn't an eccentric scene, but it's OK if the two of them are happy. It was very good!

おー♪続編（3巻）が出たんですね！と言っても相変わらずのモダモダか…まぁこの作品はそこが良いんですけどね。ずっとプラトニックなままでも構わないけど、薫の方は健康な男子だし、好きな相手と繋がりたいわよね。この次の続編では美しく結ばれてくれることを切に願います（笑）

Oh ♪ the sequel (3 volumes) has come out! That being said, it's still as modern as ever... well, that's good about this work. I don't mind staying platonic the whole time, but Kaoru is a healthy boy, and I want to connect with someone I like. I really hope they come together beautifully in the next sequel (laughs)

まさか新刊が出るとは！

I never thought a new issue would come out!

待ちに待った続編です。もう終わってしまったんだなと思って心の整理をつけてたので、もうビックリと嬉しさで声が出ました。この漫画を読むと心が洗われるんですよね。穏やかになれます。仕事の疲れも吹っ飛び夜更かしして読み直してしまいました。良かったです。作者様のあとがきを読むとまた2人を描きたい、今は一旦終わりとの事だったので、年末年始の旅行の続編など期待して待ちます。続編のフリですよね？あとチケット後で渡そうから渡してないのもフリですね？とても眠いですが心は晴れやかです笑ありがとうございました。

It's the sequel we've been waiting for. I thought it was already over, and I was trying to sort out my mind, so I was already surprised and happy and voiced. Reading this comic washes your mind, doesn't it? It makes you feel calm. I was so tired from work that I stayed up late and reread it. That was great. When I read the author's afterword, I wanted to draw the two again, and now it was over, so I'm looking forward to a sequel to the year-end and New Year holiday trip. It's pretending to be a sequel, right? Also, it's pretending that you haven't given the ticket since you wanted to give it to them later, right? I'm very sleepy but my heart is clear lol thank you so much.

さわやかな風が吹き抜けるような良さ

As good as a fresh breeze blows through

試し読みして、レビューにて性描写無しということでここ最近ゴリゴリにエロいBLばかり読んでるしたまにはこういうのもいいな……と手に取りました。いや〜ほんと、タイトルからして爽やかですけど内容も心温まるピュアピュア具合で……。カプ以外のキャラも良くて、BLだけじゃない友情だとか人と人の関わり合いのあたたかさを感じます。攻めの蜜谷くんの、ヤンチャだった過去から卒業して真面目に生きようともがく姿を応援して包み込んでくれる受けの白水さんの芯の強さを感じる優しさが素敵でした。そんなしっかり者の白水さんも蜜谷くんに惹かれてゆるゆるよわよわになっちゃうのがまた可愛くて！！どうやら2巻で完結のようですが、もう少しこの二人の先も見たくなってしまうほど愛おしいキャラクターたちでした。読後感の爽やかさは随一なので、皆さんのBL本棚の清涼剤としておすすめしたいです！

I tried reading it, and since there are no sexual depictions in the reviews, I picked up that this kind of thing would be nice when I've only been reading extremely erotic BL recently... Well, really, it's refreshing from the title, but the content is also heartwarming, pure and pure... Characters other than the cap are also good, and I feel the warmth of relationships between people, such as friendship and not just BL. It was wonderful to feel the gentleness of the attacking Mitsuya-kun, who supports and envelops the way he is struggling to live seriously after graduating from his past as a young man. The fact that Shiramizu-san, who is so stubborn, is also attracted to Mitsuya-kun and becomes laid-back, so cute!! Apparently it was completed in volume 2, but the characters were so adorable that it made me want to look a little further ahead of these two people. The feeling of freshness after reading is unrivaled, so I would recommend it as a freshener for everyone's BL bookshelf!
