ゾワッとする

I'm creepy

表紙に惹かれました内容はゾワッとするもので、立ち読みしてしまったら先が気になり購入してしまうと思います歪んだ愛ですが、第三者と当事者では感じ方が違うし、客観視している側からでは分からない幸せもあったのでしょうね

The content I was attracted to on the cover was shocking, and if I read it standing up, I think I would worry about the future and buy it. It's a distorted love, but the way the third party and those involved felt it was different, and there was probably happiness that I couldn't understand from the side that viewed it objectively

面白かった！

That was interesting!

思いもしない展開だった。この作者さん、すごい発想だと思う。絵が単調なだけにあまり怖く無く読めましたね。おすすめします。

It was an unexpected development. I think this author has an amazing idea. The picture was monotonous, so I was able to read it without being too scared. I recommend it.

なるほど…

I see...

なるほど…と考えさせられるお話でした。フィクションなはずなのにどこかリアリティを感じてしまう…この感情は読まなきゃ分からない！

It was a story that made me think, I see... It's supposed to be fiction, but it makes me feel a sense of reality... you won't understand this emotion until you read it!

恐い(((　；ﾟДﾟ)))

I'm afraid ((; °°°))

ありえないとは思いつつ、リアルな恐怖感。感情表現のうまい俳優さんで、是非、実写映画化して欲しい。個人的な感想を書くより、是非読んで欲しいと訴えたい。

A real sense of fear while thinking it's impossible. He is an actor who is good at expressing emotions, and I definitely want it to be made into a live-action movie. Rather than writing my personal impressions, I'd like to appeal that you read it.

タイトルと設定の勝利

Title and setting wins

あの箱から手だけ出ている表紙、気にならない人いないでしょう！ぞわっとして楽しめました。一度読んでしまうと何度も読み返したくなる漫画ではないんですが、理由がわかってスッキリです！

There's no one who doesn't care about the cover that only comes out of that box with their hands! I was horrified and enjoyed it. It's not a comic that once you read it, you'll want to reread it over and over again, but it's refreshing to understand why!

闇が一つではない

Darkness is not one

登場人物のほとんどが、闇を抱えており、読んでいて「あ、こっちも？」となる。あちこちの闇は解消されず、続編出るのかなって終わり方ですが、読んでいて引き込まれていきます。絵が軽いタッチですけど内容はかなり重めです。

Most of the characters have darkness, and they read “Oh, this one too?” It becomes. The darkness here and there hasn't been resolved, and it ends wondering if a sequel will come out, but I'm drawn in as I read it. The picture has a light touch, but the content is quite heavy.

鈍い人には解釈が違うかもしれない…

The interpretation might be different for someone who is sluggish...

This review contains spoilers. 私はクーポンをつかったので300円弱ですみました。こうゆう事件があったら、やはりニュースでは洗脳と言われるんだろうけど、これは改心だよなって思う。気づく人には気づく事。上辺でしか生きていない人には、ふ～んで終わる作品かも知れない。どんな小さな事でも気づける人が読むとかなり楽しいと思う。

This review contains spoilers. I used a coupon, so it was just under 300 yen. If such an incident happened, it would probably still be called brainwashing on the news, but I think this is conversion. Noticing for those who notice. For those who only live in the upper part of the world, it may be a work that ends just fine. I think it's pretty fun for people who can notice even the smallest things to read.

ずっと緊張していた

I was nervous the whole time

すごく前にSNSで見かけて、改めて内容が気になって購入しました。最後まで展開が読めなくて緊張しながら読んでいた。ふわっとした画風からは思いもよらないドラマチックな展開で一気に読んでしまいました。とても良い体験でした。

I saw it on SNS a long time ago, and I bought it because I was curious about the content again. I read it nervously because I couldn't read the development until the end. I read it all at once with an unexpected dramatic development starting with a fluffy style of painting. It was a very good experience.

不気味で心理的で面白かった

It was creepy, psychological, and funny

伏線回収がまるで小説のようで気味悪さもありつつとても面白かったです！ちょっとお高いですが、一気読みして満足感あります◎

The collection of foreshadowing was just like a novel, and while it was creepy, it was very interesting! It's a bit expensive, but it's satisfying to read it all at once ◎

すっきりする。

It makes me feel refreshed.

全て伏線回収されており、細かな所、登場人物の何気無い言葉、最後はモヤモヤなくストンと府に落ちました。読む価値ありました！意味わからないとか言ってる方は、ちゃんと全部読まれてないか、読解力が無いかですね、、、

All of the foreshadowing has been collected, and the details, the casual words of the characters, and at the end, fell to Ston and Fu without any fuss. It was worth reading! If you say you don't understand the meaning, I wonder if they haven't read everything properly, or if you don't have reading comprehension skills...

計算されたストーリー

A calculated story

普通に気持ち悪いとも思いますが、色々なところが後から「なるほど」につながり、面白くもあり、一気に読みました。価格は高めに思いますが、面白かったのでアリかなと思います。

I think it's usually disgusting, but various things led to “I see,” and it was interesting, so I read it all at once. I think the price is high, but it was interesting, so I think it's a good deal.

言葉にできないけれど

I can't put it into words

This review contains spoilers. 試し読みとレビューから、かなり期待して購入。驚きと混乱で衝撃が大きかったですが、とても面白い作品でした。2回目、前半の伏線や話の流れを確認しつつ読み進めていきました。突然、最後の由美子の言葉に涙が止まらなくなりました。由美子の気持ちに触れたのか、パパやママの境遇に同情したのか…ただいつか、由美子が言っていた事が少しでも叶うといいなと願ってやみません。愛情の複雑さを感じられる、滅多と無い作品だと思います。

This review contains spoilers. I bought it with quite a bit of anticipation from trial readings and reviews. I was shocked by the surprise and confusion, but it was a very interesting work. For the second time, I read on while checking the foreshadowing of the first half and the flow of the story. Suddenly, I couldn't stop crying at Yumiko's last words. Did you touch Yumiko's feelings, or sympathize with the circumstances of her dad and mom... I just hope that someday, what Yumiko said will come true even a little bit. I think it's a rare work where you can feel the complexity of love.

This review contains spoilers. The title “Man in the Box” wasn't about the father in the box... it made me feel slightly cold at the end. That was interesting. Wouldn't it be made into a movie? If so, I definitely want to go see it.

This review contains spoilers. There's nothing but unexpectedness, it's scary from the cover, but my impression is that the main character doesn't get bonded as it is, after all, what's scary is a living person

This review contains spoilers. 設定がキャッチーですが似たようなことはどの家庭にもありそう。結局のところその時どう感じてたが良ければそれ以上追求しない、悪ければ忘れて前に進むために何かすれば良いと思います

This review contains spoilers. The setting is catchy, but there seems to be something similar in every home. At the end of the day, I think I should do something to move forward by not pursuing it any further if it's good, and if it's bad, forget about it and move forward

伏線回収が素晴らしい！

The foreshadowing collection is amazing!

タイトルと表紙と冒頭で、何だこれ？ホラー？と惹かれて、読み進めたら予想の出来ない展開や、随所に伏線が散りばめられていて、読み終わった後もう一度読み返したくなる作品でした。とても面白かったです！

What's this in the title, cover, and opening? horror? I was drawn to it, and it was a work that I couldn't predict when I read it, and foreshadowing was scattered all over the place, and it was a work that made me want to reread it again after I finished reading it. It was so much fun!

ゾッとするのに悲しい

It's scary but sad

This review contains spoilers. No way is your mother the main culprit... but her mother's feelings are sad, the changes in the brainwashing box are sad, and Yumiko's feeling happy from being abused is also sad, and maybe someone next to you is also feeling complicated human emotions...?
