ゼロ距離の二人

Two people at zero distance

This review contains spoilers. 幼馴染のゼロ距離の二人がかわいい。ネタバレ注意↓最初は時緒も一歩のことが好きなんだろうなと思い読み始めたがために違うんかーい！となったけどこの二人のゼロ距離感がかわいすぎる。そりゃ好きな人にあんな密着されちゃやばいよね…距離を取ろうとしたり、周りの目を気にしたり、同級生達とのやりとりがリアルで読み応えがあります。

This review contains spoilers. My two childhood friends, Zero Distance, are cute. Spoiler alert ↓ at first, I thought Tokio probably liked Ippo, so I started reading it, so it's different! But the zero distance between these two is too cute. Well, it's terrible to be in such close contact with someone you like... trying to keep a distance, worrying about the eyes around you, and the interactions with your classmates are real and worth reading.

かわいすぎる二人

Two people who are too cute

This review contains spoilers. 幼馴染の一歩と時緒の初々しさが光ります。一歩の想いのほうが先なんだけど、幼なじみとしてしてくれることやスキンシップにどうしていいかわからなくなったり、時緒が告白されたり、それで想いがあふれて気づかれるんですが、時緒がまたいい奴なんです。ちゃんと考えて、一緒に答えをみつけようとするところとか。もうきゅんときます。キスどまりで、触りたいとか、もうゆっくりじっくり進むDKの恋。純粋な気持ちで読める作品です。

This review contains spoilers. My childhood friend Ippo and Tokio's innocence shine through. One step ahead is the one step ahead, but they don't know what to do with their childhood friends or when it comes to skinship, and Tokio is overflowing with feelings and people notice that, but Tokio is also a nice guy. It's like thinking properly and trying to find an answer together. I'm already excited. DK's love progresses slowly and slowly, like when they stop kissing and want to touch it. It's a work you can read with a pure feeling.

幼馴染、でもそれとは違う好きの行方

Childhood friend, but different from that, the whereabouts of a favorite

幼馴染の大好きから、違う意味を持った好きを自覚したらーー？　二人の間に当たり前のようにある大好きという感情は親愛なのか恋情なのか？それはこの今の関係を壊すものなのか？どこまで踏み出せるか(秋田どうする問題とかね)二人がいつも真剣に向き合っていてキュン甘なのと、いつまでも幼馴染で親友の二人が見えるところも良きです。“くすぐったいくらい甘いピュアラブストーリー”このコピー考えた人天才！絵柄通りのふわ甘です。

I love my childhood friend, so why don't you realize that I like you have a different meaning? Is the feeling of love that is taken for granted between two people a friendship or a romance? Is that going to destroy this current relationship? How far can they go (like what to do about Akita) It's nice that the two of them always face each other seriously and are so sweet, and that they can always be seen as childhood friends and their two best friends. The person who thought up this copy of “A Tickingly Sweet Pure Love Story” is a genius! It's as fluffy and sweet as the picture shows.

なんかほんとに良すぎて泣く

Something is really too good and I cry

あの、本当に、すごく、とても最高です……信じられないくらいニヤニヤしながら3巻を読み終わって大学生編に続くのを見てまた「ウフフフフ……」と微笑んでしまいました。幼馴染でじれったくてたまらんゆっくりボーイズラブだけどめちゃくちゃ二人が好き同士で時緒が良いやつだし友達のことも大事なのも最高だし一歩がちゃんとモテそうな長身男子高校生なの最高で……。時緒も一歩もそれなりの身長なのがウオオオオ！！！最高！！！！って雄叫びあげたいくらい最高なんですよ。変に受けが華奢だったり小柄だったりしないのが、、それでいて可愛いって何！？こわい！！俺が一歩に恋してるから可愛く見えるのか！？いや、時緒に恋してる一歩だから可愛く見えるのか！？（セクハラ発言）全然性描写とかはまだないけど今後を匂わせてるのがまたもどかしくて楽しみ……言いにくいことがちゃんと言いにくいBLなのとてもいい……BLって恥ずかしげもなくラブをひけらかす（いい意味で）作品が多いけど、こういうリアルに言いにくい話題がずっと言いにくくて逃げそうになるのがまた最高。4巻も楽しみにしております……とんでもないBLエロ同人も読む私ですが手と手が触れ合うだけで胸がキュンキュンする最高BLです。エロが無いと！な皆さんもぜひ……

Um, it's really, really, really awesome... I finished reading volume 3 while smirking unbelievably, and when I saw it continue to the college student edition, I smiled “oohehehehe...” again. It's an unbearably slow boys' love, but it's an insanely slow boys' love, but they both really like each other, they have a good time, and the fact that their friends are important is great, and they're tall high school boys who seem to be really popular one step away... The fact that Tokio is also one step tall is amazing!!! awesome!!!! It's so awesome that I want to scream. What is a thing that is strangely not delicate or petite, yet cute!? I'm scared!! Does it look cute because I'm in love one step at a time!? No, I'm in love with Tokio, so she looks cute!? (Sexual harassment statement) There are no sexual depictions at all yet, but it's frustrating and I'm looking forward to it again... BL is so nice that things that are hard to say are hard to say properly... BL has many works that show love without being shy (in a good sense), but it's also great that topics that are hard to say in real life are so hard to talk about that it's so hard to say that they almost run away. I'm also looking forward to volume 4... I also read Outrageous BL Erotica, but it's the best BL that makes my heart throb just by touching hands. If there is no eroticism! by all means, everyone...

なんか、すごくかわいい話だな

Somehow, that's a really cute story

3巻まで読んだけど、ほんとにじんわり暖かいお話だな…と。2人の仲がゆっくりゆっくり進んでいく感じが何ともいえず良いです。付き合ってすぐにえっちまでいっちゃうBLストーリーも多い中(そういうのも好きですが笑)、この作品は一味違いますね。4巻も楽しみにしてます。

I read up to 3 volumes, and I thought it was a really gentle and warm story... The feeling that the relationship between the two progresses slowly and slowly is indescribably good. While there are a lot of BL stories where you go all the way as soon as you start dating (I like that too lol), this work is a bit different. I'm also looking forward to volume 4.

かわいすぎる　きらきらともまた違う良さ〜

It's also a different kind of goodness when it's too cute~

展開は俯瞰して見ればすごくゆっくりなんですが、ぐっとくるシーンの連続で全くだれずに3巻です　天才か！恋じゃない部分つながりにもグッと来てしまいました　ひとのやさしさ、おもいやりってこういう風にも表現できるのね…すてきやん…個人的に学生青春キラキラだけだとハマらないことが多いんですが、これは…ひんひん　大学編楽しみすぎる！

If you look at it from a bird's-eye view, it's really slow, but it's all 3 volumes in a row, and it's all a genius! It also came right to the partial connection that wasn't love. People's kindness and compassion can also be expressed in this way... that's wonderful... Personally, I'm often not addicted to it if it's just student youth glitter, but this... it's too much fun for the Hinkin University Edition!

恋って全方向に良いな！

Love is good in all directions!

ひとを想う気持ちってこんなにも尊いのかとしみじみと感じました。一歩くんの片思いから始まる物語ですが、彼のモノローグの一言一言が多くの人の心のセリフと重なるのではないでしょうか。自分の気持ちの言葉にできなかった部分が一歩が時緒を想うときに発するセリフであると。一歩の切なく苦しく正直な行動。決して大げさでも謙虚すぎでもなく、あふれ出てしまう表情に萌死寸前。高校生特有の顔を背けるような仕草や俯いて表情を隠し突然の体術など、照れを隠しているんだろう行動すべてに腐心が反応して暴れてしまいそうな己を制御するのがちょっと大変だった1巻。そして時緒の大らかで優しく真っ直ぐな包容力が人として満点ではないかと時緒のご両親に敬意を示したい。くもそく先生ありがとう。既刊3巻を通してずっと落ち着いてやさしく正直に受け止める時緒がすごく好きです。弱さがないわけじゃないけど、素直さが武器になる誠実な人柄に惹きつけられます。次4巻。大学生編が始まるのがとても楽しみ。まだまだ純度120％。少しずつ大人になってゆく彼らの恋も人生も見届けてゆきたいです。と言いつつ、単話先読みしてますが相変わらずの一歩のモノローグに萌爆死。※そう！絶対に忘れちゃならない秋田。最っ高の友人で泣けたよ～大好きだよ～！

I really felt that the feeling of thinking about people was so precious. It's a story that begins with Ippu-kun's unrequited love, and I think every word in his monologue overlaps with the lines in the hearts of many people. The part I couldn't put into words about my feelings is a line uttered when one step is thinking about Tokio. One step of painfully painful and honest action. It's definitely not exaggerating or too humble, and I'm on the verge of death with an overflowing expression. Volume 1 was a bit difficult for me to control myself who seemed to go wild in response to all actions that seem to hide shame, such as gestures that turn away from faces peculiar to high school students or sudden taijutsu by lying down and hiding facial expressions. Also, I want to show respect to Tokio's parents, saying that Tokio's generous, gentle, and straightforward inclusiveness is a perfect score as a person. Thank you, Kumosoku sensei. I really like Tokio, who takes it calmly, kindly, and honestly throughout the 3 volumes that have already been published. It's not that I don't have weaknesses, but I'm attracted to a sincere personality where honesty is a weapon. Next volume 4. I'm really looking forward to starting the college student edition. It's still 120% pure. I want to watch over their love and life as they gradually become adults. While saying that, I preread a single episode, but it still blew up into the one-step monologue. ※Yes! I will never forget Akita. My oldest friend made me cry ~ I love it!

本当に本当に繊細な気持ちを　細い線でふわふわに　精密に描いていて感動します　めっちゃ　ピュアピュアでキュンとなる　気持ちが溢れてくる高校生のやり取りに顔が綻ぶ

I'm moved by the fact that it depicts really, really, really delicate feelings so fluffily and accurately with thin lines. My face is broken by the high school students' interactions that are so pure and overflowing with arousing feelings

線が繊細で感情が伝わりやすい良作

A good work with delicate lines and easy to convey emotions

かずほの心情が尊すぎて終始ニヤニヤが止まらなかったです。ときおもほんとに優しい心の持ち主で、かずほが好きになるのもうなずける人格者だなと思いました。同性愛のもどかしさも表現されていて共感しやすい作品だったと思います。

Kazuho's feelings were so precious that I couldn't stop smirking from beginning to end. Sometimes he has a really kind heart, and I thought it was a strange personality that Kazuho fell in love with. I think it was a work that was easy to sympathize with because it also expressed the frustration of homosexuality.

純愛

pure love

This review contains spoilers. 物語の展開はゆっくりめですが、登場人物の僅かな目の動きだけで感情が感じとれるぐらい描き方が繊細で読んでいて全く飽きないし寧ろ心地良いです。また、片倉が理想の彼氏すぎて推せます！一歩が羨ましいー！片倉&一歩と友人との関係が気になるので続編楽しみして待ってます！

This review contains spoilers. The story unfolds slowly, but the way it's drawn is so delicate that you can feel the emotions with just a slight eye movement of the characters, so I don't get tired of reading it at all, and it's rather comfortable. Also, Katakura is such an ideal boyfriend that I can recommend it! I envy every step! I'm worried about Katakura & Ippu's relationship with their friend, so I'm looking forward to the sequel!

This review contains spoilers. The pictures are also so beautiful, and even if they are closer than my two childhood friends, their partner is nonsense. Seeing that the mob kid is so conscious of him makes my heart cringe. The progress of the two was well expressed. I'm looking forward to the relationship section.

空気感が素晴らしい！！

This review contains spoilers. 絵がめちゃ上手いです！！そして空気感とか心理描写が上手で！すっごい引き込まれます！コマ割りとか細かい表情とか仕草とかで心情を表現されてます。特に1巻の靴紐のシーンは感嘆しました！！そう来るか！と。えちシーンは今のとこないし描かないタイプなのかなと思うのでエチないとという方には微妙かもしれませんが、恋愛もの好きな人には非常にオススメです！続きが楽しみすぎます！

This review contains spoilers. The picture is really good!! Also, they are good at depicting the atmosphere and psychology! It really draws me in! Feelings are expressed through frame division, detailed facial expressions, and gestures. I was particularly impressed by the scene of the first roll of shoelaces!! is that coming! and. I don't think Echi Scenes are the type that doesn't draw now, so it may be subtle for those who say they have nothing to do, but I highly recommend it to people who like romance! I'm really looking forward to the continuation!
