アオハル

Aoharu

心の動きが繊細に描かれていてとてもきゅんきゅんしました揺れ動く感情が伝わってきますゆっくりだけど2人らしいペースで恋愛しているのがとてもよいです

The movement of the heart is delicately depicted, and it conveys very quiet and fluctuating emotions. It's so nice to be in love slowly but at a pace similar to the two

のんびりアオハル

Laid-back Aoharu

This review contains spoilers. 幼なじみだけど実は好きだった～っていう良くある話だけど、スローペースで物語が進んでいくから2人の生活を細かく見せて貰えて楽しいです

This review contains spoilers. It's a common story called Childhood Friends But Actually Liked Me ~, but since the story progresses at a slow pace, it's fun to be shown the lives of the two in detail

少女マンガのよう！

It's like a girls' manga!

This review contains spoilers. BLだけど少女漫画のようにちょっとしたことにキュンキュンする！2人がとっても可愛らしいから余計に色々もどかしたかったり。。2人を取り巻く環境をどんな風にしたいのか、見届けたいな♩まだエチなしなので、大学生編が楽しみ！来年まで待てないよー！！

This review contains spoilers. It's BL, but it makes me cringe at little things like girls' comics! The two of them are so cute that I want to throw things away even more... I want to see how they want the environment surrounding the two of them to look like ♩ There's no etiquette yet, so I'm looking forward to the college student edition! I can't wait until next year!!

甘酸っぱい〜！！！！！！

sweet and sour!!!!!

致死量のキュンが詰まってます。今まで読んだBL作品の中で1番現実味がある気がしました。いい意味でぶっ飛んでなくて、ゆっくり進む等身大な2人がたまらなく愛おしいです。読み進めながら「これが恋か〜！！！」と何度も叫びたくなりました。次巻もとても楽しみです✨

It's packed with a lethal dose of Kyun. I felt that it was the most realistic BL work I've ever read. The two life-size people who don't fly away in a good sense and move slowly are irresistibly adorable. As you read on, “Is this love?!!” It made me want to shout over and over again. I'm also really looking forward to the next volume ✨

2人がかわいい

2 people are cute

最初はなんともじれったくて、もっとグイグイ行ったらいいのにとか思ってしまって・・スイマセン。この2人はこのペースでゆっくり進んでいって欲しいなと思う2巻でした。3巻も楽しみにしてます！

At first, I really wanted to get confused, and I thought I should go even further... I'm so excited. It was volume 2 that I wanted these two people to progress slowly at this pace. I'm looking forward to volume 3 too!

スローペース、でもそれが嬉しい

Slow pace, but I'm happy about that

This review contains spoilers. 時緒と一歩のゆっくりとした歩みを描いています。ゆっくりだけど、それは「つまらない」とか「遅い」とかじゃない。二人にとっての時間の流れがあって、二人とまわりとの時間の流れもある。そこを無理に急がせない、マンガとしては最高の演出じゃないでしょうか。BLだからと言ってえ.ろ重視じゃない感じが、それでもキュンキュンな感じが、この物語を唯一無二のいいものにしてくれてる〜と思います。（それはそれとして進展するふたりをみたい気持ちもある、でもこのふたりには急いで欲しくないなあ）周りの人との葛藤が見えた2巻でした。ふたりの時間を、ふたりと周りの時間を、見守りたいな。

This review contains spoilers. It depicts Tokio and his slow steps one step at a time. It's slow, but it's not “boring” or “slow.” There is a flow of time for the two of them, and there is also a flow of time between them and their surroundings. Wouldn't it be the best production for a manga where you can't force that to be rushed? Even though it's BL, I don't think it's important, but even so, the jumpy feeling makes this story one and only good. (There is also a feeling that I want them to progress as a result, but I don't want these two to be in a hurry) It was volume 2 where I saw conflicts with people around them. I want to keep an eye on their time and their time around them.

DKのきゅんきゅんアオハル

DK's Kyun Kyun Aoharu

This review contains spoilers. 幼馴染への恋心をなかなか伝えることのできない一歩と誰にでも優しく距離バグな時緒。2人の初々しい恋路にキュンキュンが止まりませんでした。一歩の好きが溢れて照れちゃう姿がもう可愛すぎる！！

This review contains spoilers. It's a step where it's hard to convey your love for your childhood friend, and a time when it's kind to everyone and is a distance bug. I couldn't stop feeling excited about the two of them's fresh love path. The sight of one step overflowing with love and being embarrassed is already too cute!!

癒し、何度も読み返してます

Healing, I've been rereading it over and over

This review contains spoilers. 2巻を購入して改めて大好きな作品過ぎてレビュー書かずにはいられませんでした…絵も本当に綺麗で可愛いですし、登場人物の心理描写もとても丁寧です。BLは両想いになるまで急ぎ足だなと思う作品も多いですが、こちらはゆっくり少しずつ、でも丁寧に進んで行く2人に癒される作品です。言葉選びがとにかく暖かくて、、きっと、作者様ご自身がとても優しい方なんだろうなと伝わって来ます。私は両想いになるまでのストーリーが好きなので、その後の2巻は購入するか迷ったのですがもう本当に買って良かったです最高でした…読み終わってしまい、どうしてももっとこの2人を見ていたい！と思い、単話も購入してしまいました…3巻出ても買うのに…笑読んでいると優しい気持ちになれて、秋田を含めまるごとこの作品が愛おしいです。出会わせてくれた作者様に感謝申し上げます…！！

This review contains spoilers. I bought 2 volumes and couldn't help but write a review because it's so much my favorite work... The pictures are really beautiful and cute, and the psychological depictions of the characters are also very careful. There are many works where I think BL is in a hurry until they have both feelings, but this is a work where two people who progress slowly, little by little, but carefully, are healed. The choice of words was just so warm... I'm sure it conveys that the author himself is a very kind person. I love the story until they have both feelings, so I wasn't sure whether to buy the next 2 volumes, but I'm really glad I bought them. They were amazing... I finished reading them, and I really want to watch these 2 people even more! I thought, and bought a single story too... I would buy it even if 3 volumes came out... lol It made me feel kind when I read it, and I love this whole work, including Akita. I would like to thank the author for letting me meet...!!

あま〜〜い！

that's so good!

This review contains spoilers. 2巻を読んだ感想です。水族館デート、学校祭、王道ですが2人の甘々な様子にやられっぱなしですよ、オバサンは。初恋の気持ちに戻されますね。(何十年前だろ・・・？)隠れながらのイチャイチャにキュンキュンしちゃってもう。対して、後半は親友に2人の関係を言うかどうか悩む様子に、胸が痛くなっちゃって。時生はバレかけてとりあえず否定して、親友の反応を見て１人で悩んでいたけど、一歩がそれに気づいて2人で解決していこうと話し合う。一筋縄ではいかないだろうけど、3巻では親友へ2人の関係が明かして解決へ向かうのではないでしょうか。そして2人のイチャラブが進展するのかなと期待しています。作者様、初恋の気持ちを思い出させてくれてありがとうございます。次巻も楽しみに待っています。

This review contains spoilers. This is my impression of reading volume 2. An aquarium date, a school festival, and it's a royal road, but they keep getting carried away by how sweet the two of them are, old man. It brings back the feeling of first love, doesn't it? (How many decades ago...?) I'm already amazed at the hidden flirtation. On the other hand, in the second half, I was worried about whether or not to tell my best friend about the relationship between the two, and my heart ached. Tokio got caught up and denied it for the time being, and when he saw his best friend's reaction, he was worried alone, but Ippo noticed it and the two of them discussed how to resolve it. It probably won't be easy, but in volume 3, I think they'll reveal the relationship between the two to their best friends and work towards a solution. And I'm looking forward to seeing if the flirtatious love between the two will progress. Thank you, author, for reminding me of the feeling of first love. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

がんばれ

Good luck

高校生らしい、「恋愛」の第一歩を踏み出すような話。同性愛に目覚めたことへの戸惑いも鮮やかで、ひとつひとつのセリフがすごくいいです。できればここからあまり重い話にならず幸せになってくれたらいいなあ。

It's a story about taking the first step in a “romance,” just like a high school student. The confusion about awakening to homosexuality is also vivid, and each line is really nice. If possible, it would be nice if they didn't get too heavy from here on and they would be happy.

３巻読みました✨

I read 3 volumes ✨

This review contains spoilers. 一歩くんが幼馴染みの時緒くんに恋をして、日常のさりげないやりとりの中でときめいたりモヤモヤしたり、が丁寧に描かれています。一歩くんが時緒くんに告白して、時緒くんが答えるまでもどうなるのか目が離せなくて、あっという間に読み終わりました。え、もう終わり？って、くらい話に入り込んでました。次巻も楽しみです。２巻読みました。頭の中に、かわいい、かわいい、かわいいが大渋滞しました。3巻も楽しみです。３巻読みました。二人のペースで進んでいていいですね。意思確認大事♡大学生編楽しみです。

This review contains spoilers. Ippu-kun falls in love with his childhood friend Tokio, and his excitement and confusion in casual everyday interactions are carefully depicted. Ippu-kun confessed to Tokio, and I couldn't take my eyes off what would happen until Tokio answered, and I finished reading it in no time. Eh, is it over yet? I was so involved in the story. I'm also looking forward to the next volume. I read volume 2. There was a big traffic jam in my head that was cute, cute, cute. I'm also looking forward to volume 3. I read 3 volumes. It would be nice if the two of them went at their own pace. Confirming intentions is important ♡ I'm looking forward to the college student edition.

揺れる思い〜

Shaking feelings~

某電子媒体で読んでいて、とても気になっていた作品。１巻まとめて読んでみて、こんなにしどろもどろで実は行ったり来たりの振り子のような心情を描写してたんすかー！ってなった笑。やはり途切れ途切れで読むのとは違いますね〜。続きもあるようなので読んだらまた追記しまーす。2巻読みました！もうニヤニヤが止まらない！いいわ〜最高です、アオハルDK！3巻が待ち遠しいー！

This work was read on an electronic medium, and I was very interested in it. I read the first volume all at once, and I wonder if it actually depicts the feeling of a pendulum going back and forth! it became lol. After all, it's different from reading intermittently. There also seems to be a continuation, so I'll add it again after reading it. I've read volume 2! I can't stop smirking anymore! That's great, Aoharu DK! I can't wait for volume 3!

作者さんの考え方が好き

I like the author's way of thinking

This review contains spoilers. 告白された側が大丈夫？苦しくない？って聞いていたり、もう関わらないを遮ってそれはないと断言、そんなことで突き放さんわどうでもいいやつじゃないんだしで本当に涙が止まらなかった。素敵すぎる。心にくるシーンしかなくて紙でも買います。絵も本当に綺麗俺のと同じ理由になれよ…

This review contains spoilers. Is the person who confessed OK? Isn't it painful? I heard it, and they stopped me from getting involved anymore and asserted that it wasn't there, and I really couldn't stop crying because of that, they didn't matter. It's too nice. There are only scenes that come to mind, so I also buy paper ones. The pictures are really beautiful too, be the same reason as mine...
