心臓がもたない！

My heart is bothering!

同性を好きになったり伝えられなかった想いがあった人に特に刺さると思います。とにかくメインの二人が純粋でキラキラしてて見てていい意味で苦しくなります笑ただ、少しだけ画面がごちゃついているというか、たまに話の流れがわかりにくくなる時があります。ただそこまで気になるってわけでもないので高校生のピュアな恋愛が見たいって人にはめちゃくちゃ読んでほしい作品です！

I think it's particularly painful for people who fell in love with the same sex or had feelings they couldn't convey. Anyway, the two main characters are pure and sparkling, making it painful in a good sense lol However, there are times when the screen is just a little cluttered, or rather, sometimes it becomes difficult to understand the flow of the story. It's not just that bothersome, so it's a work I really want people who want to see a high school student's pure romance to read!

え、めっちゃいい

Eh, that's so good

This review contains spoilers. 青春！時間軸としては高1から卒業までけっこうスピード展開なんだけどちゃんと内面描いててめっちゃ良かった！大学生編になって周りの人間関係とかめんどくさくなってきたし、同性だからの葛藤や心配、不安もストレートに出てて胸がキュッとするような描写もあって切ない…隠さなくていい社会になってほしい、堂々と手をつないで歩くのが普通の世の中になってほしいって心から思った。ちなみに性描写はほぼ無し！キスと、そういう絡みの描写は一コマあるだけ。初エッチもいつかわからないし、2人のプライベートって感じでこういうのもいいなぁって思った。続きも連載中なので引き続き楽しみにしてます！

This review contains spoilers. youth! As a timeline, it developed pretty fast from first year of high school until graduation, but it was really nice to be able to properly draw my inner world! Since it became a college student edition, it became troublesome with the relationships around me, and there are also depictions of conflicts, worries, and anxiety of people of the same sex coming straight out and making my heart feel sad... I want it to become a society where people don't have to hide it, and I really want it to become a world where walking hand in hand in a dignified manner is normal. Incidentally, there are almost no sexual depictions! There is only one picture depicting a kiss and that kind of entanglement. I don't know when they had their first sex, and it felt like the two of them were private, so I thought this kind of thing would be nice. The continuation is also being serialized, so I'm looking forward to it!

当て馬は‥正直、、いらない。。。

To be honest, I don't need a hit horse...

This review contains spoilers. 四巻まで読了です。とっっっっっっても大好きな作品で、ピュアピュアで、、、可愛くて…でも。。四巻で当て馬くん出てきちゃいました。。。そりゃあ、何もなくただ好き好きラブラブだとつまらないのかもしれないけど！私は、この2人の間には辛さとか悲しさとかあまりないままでいて欲しくて…ただただ甘々な可愛いキュンキュンな2人だけをみていたい‥。五巻、楽しみですが、この当て馬くんがどんな感じになるのか、、2人の涙とか、ハラハラドキドキは嫌だな‥出て欲しいけど出て欲しくないそんな感じです。四巻も読み返すのが少し憂鬱になってしまうから、早く当て馬くん終了して欲しいです‥

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 4 volumes. Wow, it's a work I really love, and it's pure... cute... but... Guima-kun appeared in volume 4... Well, maybe it's boring if you just love love and love without anything! I don't want there to be much pain or sadness between these two... I just want to see these two sweet, cute, and good-natured people... I'm looking forward to volume 5, but I wonder what this hit horse will be like, the tears of the two, and I don't want it... I want it to come out but I don't want it. It's a bit depressing to reread volume 4, so I want Guima-kun to finish as soon as possible...

いつもドキドキ

Always excited

This review contains spoilers. 高校時代からの告白からのドキドキ。付き合ってからもなおドキドキ。お互いの細やかな視線や言葉や表情を拾い上げて、行ったり来たりする純情が、たまらない！自分の現実の雑さが反省される(汗)。素直な心の様子が勉強になる、初心の機微を保ち続ける大切さを思わせてくれます。

This review contains spoilers. It's been exciting since I confessed in high school. It's still exciting even after we started dating. The pure feeling of picking up each other's detailed gaze, words, and facial expressions and going back and forth is irresistible! The clutter in my own reality is reflected on (sweat). An honest state of mind is a learning experience, and it reminds me of the importance of continuing to maintain the subtlety of the original intention.

ここまでまっっっすぐな恋愛他にある？

Are there any other straight relationships up to this point?

最初に思ったのは、心情を文字に起こしてある場面が少なくてその分表情や仕草に目線がいくのがとても読んでいて良いなということでした。｢かわいい！｣とか｢好きだ〜｣とか結構色々な漫画読んできて文字に起こされている作品が多い中で、この2人は裏で思うだけじゃなくて表に全面出てそれを行動に起こすことが多くて読んでいて満足感がとても高かったです。

The first thing I thought was that there are few scenes where feelings are transcribed, so it's really nice to read the way they look at facial expressions and gestures. “So cute!” While there are many works that have been transcribed after reading quite a few comics, such as “I like it,” these two people not only think behind the scenes, but they also often come out completely on the front and cause it to act, so the sense of satisfaction was very high when reading them.

ピュアラブ

pure love

This review contains spoilers. 何か事件が起きたりドキドキハラハラな展開とかは無いかもしれないけど、他には無いほっこりピュアきゅん作品。一歩の周りからの目を気にしたり、でも好きな人の前ではすぐ赤くなったりする感じがリアル男子高校生ですごく可愛い。4巻で友達が急に家に来てなかなか帰らないときの時緒さんの表情たまらん。そんなガッツリ顔に出しちゃうの！？って思ったけど一歩との時間を大切にしてるからこそと思うとにやけてしまう。4巻でも相変わらず大好き同士の2人を見れて幸せです。今後とも花吹くんにはぜひ2人の当て馬役として活躍を期待しています。

This review contains spoilers. There may not be any incidents or exciting and harassing developments, but there is no other Hokkori Pure Kyun work. The feeling of worrying about eyes from people around one step, but quickly turning red in front of someone you like, is so cute in real high school boys. Tokio's expression is unbearable when her friend suddenly comes to her house in volume 4 and doesn't go back easily. are you going to put on such a grumpy face!? I thought, but when I think that it's because they value every step of the way, it makes me lose my mind. I'm happy to be able to see 2 people who love each other as much as ever even in volume 4. I definitely expect Hanabuki-kun to continue playing an active role as a guitarist for the two in the future.

ピュア！かわいい！しっとり

pure! cute! moist

幼馴染BL。ピュアで可愛いけどそれだけじゃなく、青春の爽やかさや、片想いの切なさ、周りとの関係のドキドキもあり、物語はしっとりすすんでいきます。時緒のナチュラルなモテ男感に、一歩を踏み出せなかったのにそこを破ってきてくれるありがたさ。仲良く、たくさん話しながら関係性を構築していくところも良いです。

Childhood friend BL It's pure and cute, but not only that, it also has the freshness of youth, the sadness of unrequited love, and the excitement of relationships with those around you, and the story progresses smoothly. I'm thankful for Tokio's natural, popular masculinity, and for breaking through that even though he couldn't take the first step. It's also good that they get along well and build relationships while talking a lot.

きゅんきゅんがとまらない‼️

Kyun Kyun can't stop ‼️

終始2人のやりとりにきゅんきゅんする！！作品の雰囲気もとても良く、空気感がずっとおいしくて多幸感でいっぱい！想いを伝えることの怖さや伝わった時の嬉しさなど感情の機微を表すのがとても上手く、引き込まれる作品でした。こんなにも良い作品に出会えて幸せです。先生ありがとうございます?5巻がとっっっっっても楽しみ！！！！

From beginning to end, the two of them keep on talking!! The atmosphere of the work is also very good, and the atmosphere is much more delicious and full of euphoria! It was a work that was very good at expressing the subtleties of emotions, such as the fear of conveying feelings and the joy when conveyed, and it was a work that drew me in. I'm happy to have found such a good work. thank you, teacher? I'm really looking forward to volume 5!!!

1巻まで読んで

Read up to volume 1

This review contains spoilers. 初動が純朴なので、両片思いが長ーいタイプの作品かと思ったが、意外にも展開が早くいい意味で裏切られた。後半の充実感も良いストーリー構成だなと思った。絵が丁寧でとても綺麗、ほっぺたのモチっとした質感までも超絶に愛らしい。2巻からを立ち読みすると、以降の関係発展からが長そうだったので先は買っていない。

This review contains spoilers. The first action is naive, so I thought it was a type of work where both had a long unrequited love, but surprisingly, it developed quickly and I was betrayed in a good sense. I thought the story structure was also good with a sense of fulfillment in the second half. The picture is careful and very beautiful, and even the chewy texture on the cheeks is transcendently adorable. When I read it from volume 2, it seemed like it was a long time since the relationship developed since then, so I didn't buy the beginning.

相変わらずほんわかしてて良い!!

It's nice that you're still warm and fuzzy!!

This review contains spoilers. 新刊が出る度に、全部読み返して癒されてます。当て馬ぽい子が出てきま…した？わたし的にはもう少しこじれる展開になることを期待しております。ハラハラしたい!!たまに、理解するのが難しい言い回しのセリフもありますが、それも含めて好きです。

This review contains spoilers. I am healed by rereading everything every time a new issue comes out. the guitsu-horse-like kid came out... did it? For me, I'm hoping the development will be a little more complicated. I want to be harassed!! Occasionally, there are phrases that are difficult to understand, and I like that too.

[Latest 4 Volumes] Guithorses...?

This review contains spoilers. 2人のラブイチャ度がまっしましになってキュンキュンしてたら、花吹とかいう子が急に暗雲を連れてきたみたいになってる?どうなるのかなー、心配。2人が心穏やかに暮らせるようになって欲しい。直接的なエチ表現はないのですが、ちらっと素肌の2人が出てきて妄想が捗りました笑単話版買っちゃおーっと！

This review contains spoilers. If the love between the two of them has gone straight up and they're excited, it's like a kid like Hanabuki brought dark clouds all of a sudden? I wonder what's going to happen, I'm worried. I want the two of them to be able to live peacefully. There's no direct expression of etiquette, but at first glance, 2 people with bare skin came up and my delusion progressed lol I bought the single episode version!
