好きな物が有ると自分を強くしてくれる。

Having something I like makes me stronger.

まだ、試し読みだけですが面白いです。10代の頃、お小遣いを貯めてロリータ系のブラウスを奮発して一枚買ったのを思いだしました。全身揃えるのは無理だったので、襟元と袖口だけでもフリルがたくさん有る事がちょっと特別で嬉しかったのを覚えています。全身、フリフリだと親からその格好は、恥ずかしいと注意される時代だったのでブラウス一枚でも清水の舞台から飛び降りる覚悟でした（笑）自分の好きな物、ワクワクする物、熱中出来る物、心奪われる物…その人の核の部分を満たして強くしてくれますね。人それぞれですが大事な事です。

It's still just a trial reading, but it's interesting. When I was a teenager, I remember saving up my pocket money and going out of my way to buy one Lolita blouse. It was impossible to keep my whole body together, so I remember being a little special and happy that there were so many frills on the collar and cuffs alone. I was prepared to jump off the Shimizu stage even with just one blouse, because my parents warned me that my whole body was ruffled, and I was prepared to jump off the Shimizu stage (laughs) Things I like, things I'm excited about, things that take my heart away... they fill that person's core and make me stronger. Everyone is different, but it's important.

読んでて安心する

It's reassuring to read

2人とも自分がやりたいことしっかり持ってて楽しみまくってるのが先ず素敵です！！！そして関係性もお互い尊重してて尊いのなんの！！

First of all, it's wonderful that they both have what they want to do and are having a lot of fun!!! Also, relationships are precious because they respect each other!!

好き

likes

会社のオンとオフ。誰にでもありますよねー、と共感しかないです。何かを大切に思う気持ちってあるけど、万人には理解されない時もあって。だけど、大切にしてくれる人がいるって、安心感や自己肯定感が高まる。前向きになれる、素敵なお話しです。優しい気持ちになりたい人にお薦めします。

Company on and off. Everyone has it, and I can only sympathize with it. I have a feeling that something is important, but there are times when not everyone understands it. However, having someone who cares for you increases your sense of security and self-affirmation. It's a wonderful story that makes you feel positive. I recommend it to people who want to feel kind.

ページ数の割に高い

High for the number of pages

絵も綺麗でいつ分かるんだろうとワクワクするんですが、140ページしかないのに990円？と値段にびっくりです。パンク系もロリータも軽めですけど経験してるんで大好きなんですが、次巻買うかすんごい迷ってます。ま、買うんでしょうけども。今後に期待大です。

The pictures are also beautiful, and I'm excited to wonder when I'll understand them, but it's 990 yen even though it's only 140 pages? I'm surprised at the price. Both punk and lolita are light, but I've experienced them, so I love them, but I'm really at a loss as to whether to buy the next volume. Well, I guess I'll buy it, though. Expectations are high for the future.

可愛い

pretty

This review contains spoilers. インスタで見かけてとても気になっていた漫画です。絵柄も登場人物もストーリーもどストライクに好みです。ロリィタ男子とパンク女子の交流、そこから広がる人とのご縁…、なんて素敵…！紙の方でも購入しようと思います。これからも好きなものを全力で楽しむみんなに幸あれ！

This review contains spoilers. I saw this comic on Instagram and was really interested in it. I like the design, characters, and story of Strike. The interaction between a lolita boy and a punk girl, and the relationships with people that expand from there... how wonderful...! I think I'll buy the paper one too. Good luck to everyone who continues to enjoy what they love to the fullest!

好きなものは好きでいい！

You can do whatever you like!

This review contains spoilers. 甘田さんも阪久さんも声で気づきそうな気もしますが、性別が違っていたら似てるなぁと思うだけなのかもしれませんね。2人とも裁縫の腕前が抜群なのが羨ましいです！今後の展開が楽しみです！

This review contains spoilers. I also feel like Kanda and Sakyu both seem to notice it with their voices, but maybe they just think they would be similar if they were different genders. I envy both of them for their excellent sewing skills! I'm looking forward to future developments!

ようやく買えた！！

I was finally able to buy it!!

This review contains spoilers. Xで気になってた漫画です。アキさんも、奏さんも大好き！！ロリィタ男子とパンク女子の組み合わせが最高すぎて、何度でも読み返しています。また余裕ができたら、特装版の方も欲しいなぁとか。とにかく、アキさんはカッコイイお姉様だし、奏さんは可愛いしで、読む度幸せがすぎます･･････！男の人をここまで可愛く描けたり、女の人をここまでカッコよく描ける人、いる！？ってくらい、可愛い×カッコイイが大渋滞してます！この作品を生み出してくれた金沢さんに大感謝です･･････(*´ω｀人)もっとこの2人のわちゃわちゃが見たい･･････個人的には、2人にはこのまま友情を育んでいって欲しいペアです！保さんとアキさんと奏さんが三角関係になるのも見てみたい気はしますが、やはり、ここは3人の友情を取る！！

This review contains spoilers. This is the comic I was interested in in X. I love both Aki and Kanade!! The combination of a lolita boy and a punk girl is so great that I reread it over and over again. Also, if I can afford it, I think I want the special edition one too. Anyway, Aki is a cool older sister, Kanade is cute, and I'm so happy every time I read it...! Is there anyone who can draw a man so cute or draw a woman this cool!? There are so many cute and cool traffic jams! I'm very grateful to Kanazawa-san for creating this work... (*'ω`person) I want to see more of these two wacky... Personally, I want the two to continue to develop their friendship! I'd like to see Tamotsu, Aki, and Kanade have a triangular relationship, but after all, this is where the three of them take their friendship!!

137ページで900円。。でも高くない！

900 yen for 137 pages. But it's not expensive! lol

奏さんかわいーし、アキさんもかっこかわいー！買って読んで、もう終わり？！となるけど、絵もストーリーも良きなので、しょうがない。900円の価値はある。この漫画、続いてほしいな、末永く。

Kane-san is cute, and Aki is cute too! I bought it, read it, and it's over yet?! But the pictures and story are good, so it can't be helped. It's worth 900 yen. I hope this comic continues for a long time.

ゆったりと揺蕩うような空気感があって癒されます、登場人物の描かれ方が丁寧で、スッと引き込まれます。素敵な作品です。

There is a relaxed and swaying atmosphere that soothes you, and the characters are drawn carefully, and you are quickly drawn in. It's a wonderful work.

尊い

Precious

This review contains spoilers. 3巻まで読了。メイン2人が主人公かと思いますが、私はあえて男性主人公の少女漫画とも表現したい。2人の距離感が心地よい。と思いきや急接近を匂わせたり今後どうなるのか気になって仕方ない。その緩急もまたいい。読者を惹き付けるのが上手だと思う。私は出会ってすぐハイ！！ドキドキ！！！熱烈恋愛一直線！！！みたいなストーリーはゾワゾワして苦手なのでこの作品は大変好ましいです。少女漫画は男女としての好感は当然描かれますが、人間としての好感が描かれている作品は貴重で尊く心に残ります。また、蜜ちゃんのストーリーでは蜜ちゃんの気持ちを想像したら泣けました。蜜ちゃん〜〜長生きしてね〜〜。価格が高いという声も見受けられますが、私はそんなことはないと思います。続きも楽しみにしています。

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 3 volumes. I think the two main characters are the main characters, but I would dare describe them as girls' comics with male protagonists. The distance between the two is comfortable. Unexpectedly, it made me smell a sudden approach, and I couldn't help but wonder what would happen in the future. That slow speed is also good. I think it's good at attracting readers. Hi as soon as we met!! it's exciting!!! Passionate love straight line!!! Stories like that are creepy and I don't like it, so I really like this work. Girls' comics naturally depict the likability of men and women, but works that depict likability as humans are precious, precious, and remain in my heart. Also, in Mitsu's story, I was able to cry when I imagined Mitsu's feelings. Mitsu ~ ~ live a long time ~. There are also voices saying that prices are high, but I don't think that's the case. I'm looking forward to the continuation.

綺麗で可愛くてオシャレ

Beautiful, cute, and fashionable

素敵な画にまず撃ち抜かれたのですが、お話しも素敵で！同じ会社で近くにこんなに気の合う人が出来たら、どんなに幸せか（泣）３巻の最後の地域ねこみつちゃんと人間との出会いにちょっと涙してしまいました。この部分だけでも３巻買った価値ありました。言葉は交わせなくても、何か通ずるもの、あるんですよね‥。これからもちょこちょこ出て来てくれるといいなぁ‥。主人公さんたちの手の込んだお洋服なども描くの大変だと思うのですが、これからも楽しみにしております！

I was first shot through the wonderful picture, but the story was wonderful too! I was a little teary when I met such a like-minded person nearby at the same company (crying) I was a little teary when the encounter between community cats and humans at the end of volume 3 (crying). This part alone was worth buying 3 volumes. Even if you don't exchange words, there are things that can get through... I hope they'll come out here and there from now on... I think it would be difficult to draw the protagonists' elaborate clothes, etc., but I'm looking forward to it from now on!

読むたびふぅ…となる

Every time I read it it becomes Phew...

This review contains spoilers. Xでずっと拝見していてコミック買う買う思ってたら、そいや電子があるやんけと即購入。何度も見ていたあのシーンやこのシーンが私のものに。もっと早く気づけば良かったそれにしてもほんとうに可愛い…甘田が「人の家に初めて上がった」発言がじわじわと響いて喉奥から出掛かる疑問は飲み込みながら見るのが紳士的な対応だと思っています。続きも楽しみだなあ♡生きる糧↓↓早く！早く早く！早く続きを…！！実家…実家…

This review contains spoilers. I've been watching it on X for a long time and thought I'd buy a comic, so I bought it right away because it had electronics. That scene and this scene that I've watched so many times are mine. I wish I had noticed it sooner, but it's really cute... I think it's a gentlemanly response to watching the question that “I went up to a person's house for the first time” slowly echoed through the back of my throat while swallowing it. I'm looking forward to the continuation ♡ Food for Life ↓ ↓ soon! Fast, fast! continue soon...!! my parents' house... my parents' house...

オンとオフ最高

On and off is the best

This review contains spoilers. みんな振り切ってオンとオフ別れてて最高です。少しずつ奏とアキの距離が縮まっていく感じが尊い…２巻、なんちゅう所で終わってるんですか！2025冬って年明けってことですよね？来年の冬だったら待ちきれない、辛すぎる！！

This review contains spoilers. It's great that everyone shook it off and broke up on and off. The feeling that the distance between Kanade and Aki is shrinking little by little is precious... where did volume 2 end! Winter 2025 means the beginning of the year, right? I can't wait for next winter, it's too painful!!
