ライラックいい男

Lilac is a good man

This review contains spoilers. 最後は創造主の何でもあり設定で終わった感あるけど、悪人出てこないのに、お話に厚みがあって、じっくり読めた。絵柄がかわいいから、シリアスで怖いシーンもマイルドだった。いい奴しか出てこない。女も男も魅力的。読み返して、理解が深まるタイプ。

This review contains spoilers. At the end, there is a feeling that it ended with whatever setting the creator had, but even though no villains appeared, the story was rich, and I was able to read it carefully. The pattern was cute, so the serious and scary scenes were also mild. Only good guys come out. Both women and men are attractive. The type that deepens understanding by rereading it.

いい塩梅の漫画

Good Shiobai manga

よし！レビューを書こう！と思ってからこの作品についてアレコレ考えましたが、『いい塩梅』以外に当てはまる表現を思いつきませんでした（結局は毎回『面白い！』みたいなレビューになる）。最初から『主人公は過去に罪を抱えた神様で、贖罪の為に生きている』と描かれていて、まあ、人間に生まれ変わって良かったね☺️と思っていて、最終巻はどうなるんだろう？とワクワクしながらページをめくってましたけど、そんなほのぼのした考えは吹っ飛びました（元凶がクソでした（爆））。作品としては、ほのぼの系に謎もあり、まあとにかくいい塩梅の漫画でした☺️

alright! Let's write a review! After thinking about it, I thought about this work, but I couldn't think of an expression that would apply to anything other than “good shiobai” (after all, it's “interesting!” It's going to be a review like that). From the beginning, it was depicted that “the main character is a god who has sinned in the past and lives for atonement,” and I thought, well, I'm glad he was reborn as a human ☺️, so what will happen with the final volume? I was turning the pages with excitement, but that heartwarming thought blew away (the culprit was crap (explosion)). As a work, there are also mysteries in the heartwarming series, so it was a nice Shiobai comic anyway ☺️

この作品に出会えてよかった

I'm glad I came across this work

どんな話なんだろうと思いつつ読み進めましたが本当に引き込まれた。言語化が難しいけど絵も可愛らしく丸みのある絵がまたどこか素敵な絵本を読んでいるかのような…なのに目元やコマの表現、繊細で伝わるものがある。何度も泣いてしまいました。この作品に出会えてよかった。また何度も読み返したい。

I read on while wondering what kind of story it was, but I was really drawn in. It's difficult to verbalize, but the pictures are cute and round, and it's like reading a wonderful picture book... yet there are expressions of eyes and frames that are delicate and conveyed. I cried so many times. I'm glad I came across this work. I want to reread it again and again.

可愛くてストイックな人と神

Cute and stoic people and gods

イラストっぽい絵柄のおかげでシリアスな場面もきれいに描かれて読みやすいです。弁当や食べることの幸せと小さな日常、人とは違う神の価値観。おとぎ話みたいなんだけど、登場人物のそれぞれが精いっぱい生きてきて、今の喜びを大切にしたいというのが伝わります。あともう魔物とレイニーが可愛い。

Thanks to the illustration-like pattern, serious scenes are beautifully drawn and easy to read. Bento boxes and the happiness of eating, small everyday lives, and divine values that are different from people. It's like a fairy tale, but each of the characters has lived to the fullest, and it conveys that they want to cherish their present joy. After that, monsters and Rainey are so cute.

一気読みしました

I read it all at once

試し読みから入って結局一気買いしてしまいました。ほのぼのと不思議とダークと切なさが同居した、シンプルな作画スタイルを良い意味で裏切る作品です。最後まで読んですぐもう一周読んじゃった…おすすめです！

I started with a trial reading and ended up buying them all at once. It is a work that betrays a simple drawing style in a good sense, where heartwarming, mysterious, dark, and sad coexist. As soon as I read it to the end, I read it one more time... I recommend it!

名残惜しい

It's a pity

レイニーとその周りの人たちの日常がとても良いです。人になった神であるレイニーがどんな気持ちでお弁当を詰めているのか。色々考えてしまいました。八百万の神のようにたくさんいる世界のようです。神々が集まって話するところとかなんかいいのですよ。

The everyday life of Rainey and those around her is very good. How does Rainey, the god who became a human being, feel when packing his bento? I've thought about a lot of things. It's like a world where there are as many as 8 million gods. It's nice to have a place where gods gather and talk.

神様と人の切なくて愛おしい物語

A sad and adorable story of God and people

This review contains spoilers. 4巻で終わってしまいました。とても切なくてとっても愛おしい物語。でも何回も読み返したくなる作品。人も神様も愚かさも優しさも身勝手もあって、全部が愛おしいと思えて涙もひと粒こぼれる。そして心もあたたくなる、そんな素敵な物語。

This review contains spoilers. I finished with volume 4. A very sad and very adorable story. But it's a work I want to reread over and over again. People and gods are foolish, kind, and selfish, and I think everything is adorable and tears spill out. And it's such a wonderful story that makes my heart flutter.

That was interesting.

すごくよかった。それぞれの奥底にある悲しさとか淋しさとか、読んでいると浮かび上がってくるようで。みんなそれぞれの胸のうちにかかえていてね。

That was really good. It seems like the sadness and loneliness that lies deep within each one come to light as I read it. Everyone is holding it in their own hearts, isn't it?

じんわりハマってしまう

I'm slowly addicted to it

This review contains spoilers. 近所の本屋さんで見つけ、ゆるい絵柄と邪神のお弁当屋さんといった設定に引き込まれて、全巻買いました。レイニーの言葉が、ゆるい絵柄とのギャップでなんだか心地よかったです。個人的には、ラブストーリーとか友情のお話、みたいな形には思えなくて、そういった境界線も曖昧で4巻で完結した潔さがより一層好きになりました。まだまだ続きが欲しくなるけど、皆の関係性は曖昧なままながらに、1巻のときの疑問やその時の関係より深くなっていることがちゃんとハッキリしてて…。言葉に表せないけど「めっちゃ好き！！！」みたいなラブより、「あぁ、ほんと好きだな」っていつでも見返したくなるような噛みしめたくなる作品でした。レイニーの取り巻く人達のそれぞれの想いが、ちょっとずつ異なっているのもステキでした。神同士の認識や考えが全然違ったり。絶対的には分かり合えないけど、尊重し合うことはできるし、押し付けあっても仕方ないよなぁとゆるっと伝わる感じがだいすきです。あんまり、こういった系統のお話にハマった事が無かったのですが、大事にしたいオススメしたい漫画のひとつになりました。

This review contains spoilers. I found it at a nearby bookstore, was drawn into the loose design and the setting of the devil's bento shop, and bought the whole volume. The gap between Rainey's words and the loose pattern made me feel somewhat comfortable. Personally, I didn't think it was a love story or friendship story, and I fell in love with the cleanliness that was completed in 4 volumes even more because those boundaries were vague. It still makes me want more, but while everyone's relationships remain vague, it's quite clear that the questions from volume 1 and the deeper relationships they had at that time... I can't put it into words, but “I love it so much!!!” Rather than a love like that, “Oh, I really like it” was a chewing work that made me want to look back at it at any time. It was also wonderful that the feelings of the people surrounding Rainy were slightly different. The perceptions and thoughts of the gods are completely different from each other. We definitely don't understand each other, but we can respect each other, and I really like the feeling that they can't be helped even when they're forced to do it. I've never really been addicted to this kind of story, but it has become one of the comics I want to cherish and recommend.

独特な世界観

A unique view of the world

独特な世界観を持つ作品です。じんわり読める。隙間とは万物にあって、それを皆何かで埋めている。自問自答しながら、何が正解なのか、何を信じるのか。ゆるい絵のタッチですが、何かを噛みしめて生きる登場人物たちに愛情がわく。

It is a work with a unique view of the world. I can read it slowly. There are gaps in everything, and everyone fills them with something. While asking ourselves questions, what is the correct answer and what do we believe? The touch of the picture is loose, but I love the characters who live by chewing on something.

素晴らしい作品です。

It's a great piece of work.

This review contains spoilers. イシコ先生のBL作品を読んでおり、こちらは普通のジャンルの漫画でしたが、イシコ先生の作風自体が変わらずストーリーもやっぱり面白かった。それぞれのキャラクターにそれぞれの愛嬌があり本当の悪人が居ないのも良い。最終巻に向けてレイニーの過去が徐々にわかりますが、それに伴いダリアやナタリオの過去もようやくわかります。緻密に作られたストーリーでした。ここ最近読んだ漫画では一番面白い作品です。私的にはレイニーとライラックの付かず離れずな関係性の決着が気になりましたが、やっぱりそう来るか！な終わり方ではありました。でもおまけエピソードやイラストカットが満足な内容でしたので、納得します笑

This review contains spoilers. I'm reading Ishiko-sensei's BL work, and this was a comic in a normal genre, but Ishiko-sensei's style itself didn't change, and the story was still interesting. Each character has their own charm, and it's also good that there aren't any real villains. As we move towards the final volume, we gradually understand Laney's past, and along with that, we finally understand Dahlia and Natalio's past. It was a meticulously crafted story. This is the most interesting comic I've read recently. Personally, I was concerned about the settlement of the inseparable relationship between Rainy and Lilac, but I wonder if that's the case after all! That was how it ended. But the bonus episodes and illustration cuts were satisfying, so I'm convinced lol

全話を読み終えて

Finish reading all the stories

This review contains spoilers. レイニーは、魔物→人間を食べた魔物？or人間を食べて人間→神様？この辺の変移が良く理解出来ていなかったのですが、最終巻でレイニーの本当の顔を見て涙が溢れてしまいました。あの口元の意味するところを推察し切なくて切なくて。切ないと言えば商人さんと少女の話しも涙涙でした。でもなんとなく救われるようなストーリーです。ライラックさんは、自分がすべき事を見据えてそれに向かって歩む姿がとても格好良くて、レイニーとの関係、距離感がとても大人だなぁと最終巻を読んで思いました。最終巻を読んですぐ1巻から読み直しました。大好きな物が増えてとてもハッピーです。この作家さんの作品は初めて読みましたが、他の作品も早速購入したいと思います。

This review contains spoilers. Is Rainy a monster → a monster that ate humans? or eat humans → gods? I didn't really understand the changes around here, but I burst into tears when I saw Rainey's real face in the final volume. I was so sad that I couldn't guess what that statement meant. Speaking of sadness, the story between the merchant and the girl was also tearful. But it's a story where you're somehow saved. When I read the last volume, I thought that Lilac looked ahead to what she should do and walk towards it, and that her relationship with Laney and her sense of distance were very mature. As soon as I read the last volume, I reread it from volume 1. I'm so happy that the number of things I love has increased. I've read this artist's work for the first time, and I'd like to buy other works right away.

This review contains spoilers. 最後まで読んで本当に良い作品だと思いました。説明不足のまま進んでいきますが、最後は綺麗に収束されています。欲を言えばレイニーが創造主様より本当に強いのか知りたいぐらいかな。

This review contains spoilers. I read it all the way to the end and thought it was a really good work. It progressed without explanation, but the end was settled cleanly. Speaking of greed, I think I just want to know if Rainy is really stronger than the Creator.

出会ってくれてありがとうございます。

Thank you so much for meeting me.

新刊一覧から見つけました。マンガを好きな理由を見つけた気がします。自分の心を埋めたかったのかな。と。今までは、面白いから、行けない場所、出来ない事、それらのモヤに輪郭を付けて貰ってたから。そう思っていました。この作品でその輪郭付きのモヤに弁当箱という別名が付いた気がします。自分が読むまで執筆して頂き、ありがとうございます。終わっちゃった。でも、綺麗で、とても優しい最後で素晴らしいかったです。お疲れ様でした。

I found it from the list of new publications. I feel like I've found a reason why I love manga. I wonder if I wanted to fill my heart. and. Until now, it was interesting, because I had the outline attached to the haze of places I couldn't go to and things I couldn't do. That's what I thought. I feel that the outline of the haya in this work is also called a bento box. Thank you for writing until you read it yourself. it's over. But it was beautiful, very kind, and wonderful. Thank you for your hard work.
