Absolutely Enchanting

Love the noble political intrigue combined with the look at commoner and merchant commerce. Fashion is the name of the game in this story, and the art captures that combination of form and function perfectly. The story is driven by the main character’s goals and dreams, not by a romance plot. There are hints to a later romance thread, but seeing how it comes to fruition over time is part of the charm of this story. Every character is so funny and charming, with their own quirks, worries, dreams, and motivations. Extremely bespoke views on how fashion ties into the societal roles people are forced to play AND how fashion can set them free from that as well. The magic system being a background element that plays a role in the story without becoming the “magic macguffin that fixes everything” is truly a stroke of genius and a mark of excellent world building/writing. The pacing is excellent, the style is impeccable, and I want more of it ASAP. This is exactly the type of magical realism fantasy story I wanted. If you’re obsessed with the genre but sick of the same old romance tropes, miscommunication nonsense, and rehashed drama points, you need to get in on this story instead. You will not regret a second spent reading this!

面白いです

It's interesting

This review contains spoilers. 本編ダリヤもとても面白かったのですがこちらのスピンオフも面白かったです。主人公が頑張る姿が好きなのでこれからルチアがどんな素敵な服でみんなを幸せにしていくのかも楽しみです。作家変更されて最初は戸惑いましたが最新話まで読んで新しいルチアも可愛いと思います。漫画のセリフも読みやすいのでこれから頑張ってください！

This review contains spoilers. The main story of Dariya was also very interesting, but this spin-off was also interesting. I like the way the main character works hard, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of wonderful clothes Lucia will make everyone happy from now on. I was confused at first after the writer was changed, but after reading the latest episode, I think the new Lucia is cute too. The comic lines are also easy to read, so please do your best from now on!

This review contains spoilers. ダリヤと同時期に読みはじめ、原作も読んでます。30巻から漫画イラストが変わったのでしょうか？個人的には前の瞳がキラキラしたほうが好みです。ルチアの恋愛なんかも気になります。

This review contains spoilers. I started reading it around the same time as Dariya, and I'm also reading the original story. Have comic illustrations changed since volume 30? Personally, I like it when my front eyes sparkle. I'm also curious about Lucia's love affair.

さすがダリアの友達！

As expected, Dahlia's friend!

本編の魔道具師ダリア～は何度も読み返しているぐらい大好きな作品なので、見つけて即買いしました。さすがダリアのお友達！といったところでしょうか、ルチアも強くて逞しくて夢に真っ直ぐな、とっても可愛い女の子です。こういうお話は読んでいても楽しいし、胸があたたかくなります。しかもこの分冊版、かなりお買い得！多い巻だと50Pぐらいあるのにこのお値段。最後までしっかり応援するので、どんどん発刊して下さい！

I love the main story, Magician Dahlia ~, so much that I've reread it over and over again, so I found it and bought it right away. As expected, Dahlia's friend! Something like that, Lucia is also a very cute girl who is strong, strong, and straight forward in her dreams. This kind of story is fun to read, and it warms my heart. What's more, this split edition is quite a bargain! If there are a lot of volumes, it's about 50P, but this is the price. We will be supporting you until the end, so please keep publishing!

爽快な装いを

Wear an exhilarating outfit

自分に似合うものがある、自分の好きなものを身につける。たったこれだけなのだが、それに気付いた(気づかせてもらった)幼いころの主人公。それから数年、兎に角大好きすぎる服をその人の好きを素敵なところを見いだす才と力量を身につけて日夜邁進する。とんとん拍子ではあるけど、とてもすっきり、すばっと解決！なのが爽快。いつか主人公が自分のために悩むことも出てくるだろうけと、それをどう越えていくか。楽しみなお話である。続きが早くよみたくなる作品です！

There are things that look good on you, and wear what you like. This is all, but the main character noticed (made me notice) it when he was young. After that, for a few years, he pushes forward day and night, acquiring the talent and ability to find wonderful things that people like with clothes that rabbit loves too much. It's at a rapid pace, but it's a very clean and quick resolution! Nano is exhilarating. I wonder if someday the protagonist will worry about himself, and how do we overcome that? It's a fun story. It's a work that makes you want to read more quickly!

ダリヤファンなので

I'm a Dariya fan

こちらを見つけて即出てるだけ購入！やはりイイですね！女の子が前向きに頑張る話てものすごーく力を貰えます！世の中が鬱鬱と暗くてもリアル世界が女子に厳しくともこーゆー漫画読むと勇気湧きます！

I just found this and bought it as soon as it came out! After all, it's good! Stories about girls doing their best in a positive way give me tremendous power! Even if the world is depressing and dark, even if the real world is tough on girls, reading Koyu comics gives me courage!

コミカライズならではの素晴らしさです。小さい頃の主人公が可愛いし、漫画ならではの表現、構成で、とても良かったです。

It's a splendor unique to Comicalize. The main character when I was little was cute, and the expressions and structure unique to comics were very nice.

えっ⁉️

Eh ⁉️

30話から作画交代…って何で⁉️元々の臼土先生は何となく本編マンガ？のダリヤと通じる所があって見やすく結構好きな作画だったんだよね。（まぁ、少しづつ崩れてきてはいたけど。）新しい漫画家さんはうーん。悪くはないけど少女マンガ！って感じの絵だね。まぁ、見れなくはないから読むけどさ…最近は漫画家さんの途中交代って普通の事なのかなぁ。うーん。……新しい漫画家さんに交代して、ダリアの服装がダサくなったなぁ。

What is the change in drawing from episode 30... ⁉️ is the original Udo sensei somehow the main manga? There was a place where I could get in touch with Dariya, so it was an easy to see drawing that I liked quite a bit. (Well, it was falling apart little by little.) The new manga artist is hmm. It's not bad, but it's a girls' manga! It's a picture that feels like that. Well, it's not that I can't help watching it, so I read it... I wonder if it's normal for manga artists to change midway these days. hmm. ... I was replaced by a new manga artist, and Dahlia's clothes became dull.

作画変わりました？

Has the drawing changed?

試し読みしてたら、顔が違う？あ、作画変わってるではないですか！う～ん、長くなるとありがちですが、最初のイメージで読んでるからちょっと違和感。どうしようか悩み中です

If you try reading it, does your face look different? Oh, the drawing has changed, hasn't it! Hmm, it often gets longer, but since I read it with the first image, I feel a bit uncomfortable. I'm worried about what to do

良質なスピンオフです

It's a good spin-off

服飾師として、様々な人たちの悩みを解決しながら頑張るルチアが可愛いです。絵もとても美しいのですが、顔の角度によっては目が板に貼り付けたように平坦に見えるのが残念ですね。これからに期待大です。

Lucia, who works hard while solving the problems of various people as a fashionist, is cute. The picture is also very beautiful, but it's a pity that depending on the angle of the face, the eyes look flat as if they were attached to a board. Expectations are high for the future.
