正しさよりも自分がどう感じていたか

How I felt rather than being right

This review contains spoilers. 善悪を決めるには難しすぎる、考えさせられる作品でした。「正しさよりも自分がどう感じていたかを大事にしたい」という言葉が心にのこっています。周りにとっては普通じゃないとしても、自分が幸せなら…でも家族にとってはそれが、意図として手懐けられたものとしたなら…だとしても幸せを感じていたなら…最後の2ページにゾクッとしながらも、絆に涙したり、読み応えたっぷりの作品でした。買って読んでよかったです。

This review contains spoilers. It was a thought provoking work that was too difficult to decide between right and wrong. The phrase “I want to value how I felt rather than correctness” stuck in my heart. Even if it wasn't normal for those around me, if I was happy... but for my family, if it was something that was handled as an intention... if I felt happy even though I was shocked by the last 2 pages, it was a work that made me cry with bonds, and it was a very satisfying read. I'm glad I bought it and read it.

世にも奇妙な物語

A Strange Tale

面白い。世にも奇妙な物語のドラマにできそうなストーリーです。奇妙な家族の話ですが、きちんと物語としてまとまっていて面白いです。

It's interesting. It's a story that looks like it could be made into a drama about a strange world. It's a strange family story, but it's interesting because it's properly organized as a story.

買って良かった満足感

Satisfaction that I'm glad I bought it

This review contains spoilers. 洗脳、犯罪だし断片的に見ればあり得ない、許されないことなのに、2周目みると納得。1番良かったのは子供がどんな形であれ幸せだったと感じていたこと。あのままあの父親に育てられていたら、生きてなかったかもしれないと思うと、結果的に良かったのではないかと。あの父親もクズのようで実はちゃんと娘を思える心が育ったのなら、クズから父親に成長できたんだと思う。犯罪だし、一歩間違えれば殺人事件だが。友達は由美子を恨む前に自分の親の行動力の方が問題あるぞ！と言いたくなったが。1番良かったのは、彼氏の賢治くんの存在。あとはママが出所したあとが気になる。外伝的なのでないかなぁ、と淡い期待しております。

This review contains spoilers. It's brainwashing, it's a crime, and it's impossible and unforgivable if you look at it in fragments, but after watching the 2nd lap, I was convinced. The best part was that I felt that the child was happy no matter what form it was. When I think that if I had been raised by that father the way I was, I think it would have been good as a result. That father also seems like scum, and if he actually grew up with a heart that properly thought of his daughter, I think he could have grown from scum to a father. It's a crime, and if you make a mistake, it's murder. Before my friend has a grudge against Yumiko, there's a problem with my parents' ability to act! I wanted to say that. The best part was the presence of my boyfriend Kenji. After that, I'm worried about after my mom leaves the hospital. I'm hopeful that it might be an affidavit.

怖いけど。面白い！

I'm scared though. interesting!

This review contains spoilers. すごい！ホラー！絵はとても和やかな感じなのに。最後の終わり方も、また何かあるようで……？色々考えさせられる。ん〜被害者？加害者？本人達にしか分からない事もあるんだな、と。初めてレビューしました。文章が支離滅裂。その位何だか衝撃的！買って後悔無い。とても良かった。ホラーや推理(的な？)好きじゃないけど、何か良い意味でこの話は良かった。ありがとうございました(｡ᵕᴗᵕ｡)

This review contains spoilers. amazing! horror! Even though the picture is very peaceful. There seems to be another way to end at the end...? It makes me think a lot. huh... victim? the assailant? There are also things that only the people themselves understand. I reviewed it for the first time. Sentences are incoherent. That's kind of shocking! I bought it and have no regrets. It was very good. horror or reasoning (like?) I don't like it, but in a good way, this story was good. Thank you very much (..)

怖いけど実際に起こりそうな話

A scary story that is likely to happen

初めてレビューを投稿します。レビューを書きたくなるくらい面白い内容でした。怖い話なのに、ほっこりとした絵のお陰で続きが気になり、没入していきます。気になったのは、箱の中の男はお風呂はどうしていたんだろう？？　読み終わった後は、由美子は「家族」の深い愛情があったから、素直な子に育ったのかなと思いました。登場人物を見ていると、愛情を受けずに育ったから、歪んだ考え方を持った大人になったんじゃないかと考えさせられます。やっぱり愛は大事だな。

I'm posting a review for the first time. The content was so interesting that I wanted to write a review. It's a scary story, but thanks to the relaxing picture, I'm curious about the continuation, and I'm immersed in it. What bothered me was how was the man in the box doing in the bath?? After I finished reading it, I thought that Yumiko had a deep love from her “family,” so she grew up to be an honest child. Watching the characters makes me think that since they grew up not receiving affection, they may have become adults with distorted ways of thinking. After all, love is important.

that was interesting...!

初めてレビュー書こうと思えた作品です。何これ？え？と読み進みながら、そういうことだったの…！と。色んな漫画読んでますが、まったく予想してなかった展開でした。お母さんもお父さんも由美子も…みんなが切ない…。

This is the first work I thought I'd write a review about. what's this? huh? As I read on, that's what happened...! and. I've been reading a lot of comics, but it was a development I hadn't anticipated at all. Mom, Dad, Yumiko... everyone is sad...

ドキドキした。

It was exciting.

けっこう、ゾクゾクして、ドキドキしながら見てました。値段的には高いけど、なんか、1本の映画を見たあとみたいな感覚です。

It was pretty thrilling, and I was watching it with excitement. It's expensive in terms of price, but it feels like after watching a single movie.

2度おもしろい！

Twice as funny!

Xで気になって途中まで読んでましたが、レビューの評価も高く、読んで後悔ないとの感想をたくさん見て購入しました。結果、本当に面白い。何といっても読み終わってからの2回目がまたすごく面白い。最初から全然違う見え方になります。ぜひ読んでください。

I was curious about X and read it halfway through, but the reviews were also highly rated, and I saw a lot of impressions that I wouldn't regret reading it before buying it. The results are really interesting. After all, the second time after I finished reading it was also really interesting. It looks completely different right from the start. Please be sure to read it.

一気読み！

Read it all at once!

途中でやめられないスリル！超オススメです。想像ほつかない展開。でも涙が出る場面も‥家族について考えさせられる。

An unstoppable thrill along the way! I highly recommend it. A development that is hard to imagine. But the scene where I burst into tears... makes me think about my family.

いや、面白かった！

No, that was interesting!

最近、あんまり絵が凝ってはいないけどお話とか構想が面白い作者さんがたくさん居られて、この方もそういう感じ(失礼ぽわんとした絵で、だんだん真相に近づいていくそのギャップがなんともたまらない。ラスト、まさかそっち？？みたいな。二段びっくりです。それはそうと美に執着するおばあちゃんを尻目に、一個も皺のないお母さん羨ましい?はっまさかこれも伏線

Recently, there have been a lot of artists whose pictures aren't very elaborate, but their stories and ideas are interesting, and this one feels like that too (it's a rude, lousy picture, and that gap that gradually gets closer to the truth is unbearable. last one, no way over there?? It's like that. I'm surprised at the second stage. Do you envy mothers who don't have a single wrinkle, with an eye on grandmothers who are so obsessed with beauty? Hmm, this is also a foreshadowing

とても深い！

So deep!

This review contains spoilers. 見る人の人生で誰が悪い人になるのか変わってしまう。そんな深い作品でした！私は…実母が一番悪だと感じたけど…友達に読ませてみると、実パパが一番悪い！っていう子もいるし、まま最低っていう子もいました…同じ作品でこんなに感じかたが変わるって本当すごい良作だと思いました！元パパの最後の笑みが喜びなのか絶望なのか…どっちに捉えるかまだ悩んでます笑

This review contains spoilers. It changes who becomes the bad person in the viewer's life. It was such a deep piece of work! I... felt like my real mom was the worst, but... when I read it to my friends, my real dad was the worst! There was a kid who said it, and there was also a kid who said it was just the worst... I thought it was really an amazing work that changed the way I felt in the same work! I wonder if my ex dad's last smile is joy or hopelessness... I'm still worried which one to capture lol

キミワルイノニオモシロインダヨナ

Kimiwari Ino Moshiroindayona

This review contains spoilers. 最後の結末よりもその過程の方がいろんな伏線やいろんな人間の感情の経緯などがリアルに描かれていて、キミワルイノニオモシロイという気持ちになってしまって、人間ってここまでに至るんだなって。心の病は誰にでもなりうるからなんとも言えない気持ち

This review contains spoilers. Rather than the final ending, that process was more realistically depicted, such as various foreshadowing and the circumstances of various human emotions, etc., and it made me feel like Kimiwari Ino Moshiroi, and humans have come this far. Heart disease can happen to anyone, so it's an indescribable feeling

I just bought it!!

お試しを読んでから止まらず、悩んだけれど購入してしまいました。すごく面白かったー！！！作品のキャラクターはまる子ちゃんみたいに可愛くて、でもストーリーはダレるところも一切なく、飽きることなく最後のページまで読んでしまいました！作者天才！！！映画化されちゃうんじゃないかな？むしろ実写も見たい！というくらい面白かったです！！！

I couldn't stop after reading the trial, and even though I was worried, I bought it. it was so much fun!!! The characters in the work were cute like Maruko-chan, but the story didn't get messy at all, and I read the last page without getting tired of it! The author is genius!!! Isn't it going to be made into a movie? I'd rather watch the live action too! That was so much fun!!!

まさかこの展開になるとは

I never thought this would unfold

軽い絵のタッチでサクサク読めるのでなんとなく読んでみたら、次から次が気になって購入して読んでしまった。想像以上の展開に驚いてドキドキしながら見た。全てを読み終えると、伏線回収をしたくなり全てを理解した上でまた読みたくなり、あー‼︎だからこうなんだ！と更に納得した。

I can read it quickly with a light touch of the picture, so when I read it somehow, I was worried about the next one, so I bought it and read it. I was surprised and excited to see more developments than I had imagined. Once I finished reading everything, I wanted to collect foreshadowing, and after understanding everything, I wanted to read it again, ah ‼ ︎, so it's like this! I was even more convinced.

天才だー！

he's a genius!

This review contains spoilers. スゴく面白かったです。現実に親子間や夫婦間でも　コレに近い心理状態が当てはまる関係もあることでしょう。人の不幸は蜜の味とばかりに　妬んだり、臭いものには蓋がしたくなるのも人間。色々と考えさせられる道徳本の様でした。感謝です♪

This review contains spoilers. It was really interesting. In reality, there are probably relationships where a psychological state close to this applies even between parents and children and married couples. Humans are also jealous of the taste of honey for their misfortunes, and they also want to put a lid on smelly things. It was like a moral book that made me think a lot. I appreciate it ♪

すごい

uncanny

This review contains spoilers. なんでこんなにあり得ない話なのに感情移入できてしまうんだろう。15年間は絶対無理だし、匂いも箱の外に絶対漏れてるはずなのに、なぜかこの設定を受け入れてしまっている自分がいる。一巻で完結だし、読みごたえがすごい。

This review contains spoilers. I wonder why I can empathize with it even though it's such an impossible story. It's definitely impossible for 15 years, and the smell must have leaked out of the box, yet for some reason I have accepted this setting. It was completed in one volume, and the reading was amazing.
