ゾワってするけど

It's called Zowa

This review contains spoilers. ゾワっとする内容だけど、読後感は悪くなかった。幸せとは、家族とは何かを考えさせられる内容。猟奇的なストーリーを予感させる始まり方をするけど、意外にも殺人事件。みたいなわかりやすい事は実際は起きない。心理的にじわじわとくる感じ…。途中の洗脳描写は怖かったけど…一番危ない人は、最初の旦那じゃないか？とか思った。

This review contains spoilers. The content was creepy, but I didn't feel bad after reading it. Happiness is content that makes you think about what a family is. It starts in a way that makes you feel like it's a bizarre story, but surprisingly, it's a murder case. Things that are easy to understand don't actually happen. It feels like it slowly creeps in psychologically... The depiction of brainwashing along the way was scary, but... isn't the most dangerous person the first husband? I thought something like that.

衝撃

shock

おすすめで見かけて試し読みしたら最後。結末が気になって我慢できませんでした。これはぜひ最後まで読んでみてほしいです。中途半端な解釈だと勿体無いです。

I saw it on recommendation and tried reading it, and it was the last time. I was worried about the ending and couldn't stand it. I definitely want you to read this to the end. It's unfortunate that this is a half-hearted interpretation.

面白かった

That was interesting

ホラーが好きなので購入。心霊ホラーではなく人怖系のサスペンスホラーでした。SNSでよく見るエッセイ系作画と作品の内容がマッチしていてとてもぞわぞわしました！早く真相を知りたくてあっという間によんでしまいました。

I like horror, so I bought it. It wasn't psychic horror, it was human-scary suspense horror. I was so excited that the essay-type drawing that I often see on SNS matched the content of the work! I wanted to know the truth as soon as possible, so it was over so fast.

ちょっと切ない

It's a little sad

目線が変わり混乱したが、それぞれの視点から読める。よくはないことだけど、最後まで読むとなかなか切ないなぁと。

My perspective changed and I was confused, but I can read it from each point of view. It's not a good thing, but I think it's pretty sad when you read it all the way to the end.

中々考えさせられる

It makes me think

This review contains spoilers. 想像もつかない結末ですが、お祖母さんとお母さんの物語も少し気になる所でした。最後、箱がどんどん売れるのは⋯それだけ閉じ込めたいと思う人が多い現実を皮肉っていて、面白いと思いました。

This review contains spoilers. It's an unimaginable ending, but I was also a little concerned about the story of the grandmother and mother. Finally, the fact that boxes are selling more and more... was ironic about the reality that there are so many people who want to be locked in, and I thought it was interesting.

表紙どうり

Like the cover

箱の男っていうタイトルと、絵に惹かれて読んでみた。ゾクゾクしまくりな作品だった。お父さんの咀嚼音がゾクゾクさをさらに増加させる

I was attracted to the title The Man in the Box and the picture, so I read it. It was a thrilling work. Dad's chewing sound further increases the thrill

不穏な空気が漂い続け…

An air of unease continues to drift through the air...

This review contains spoilers. こういう読み終わってイヤーな気持ちになる話しが嫌いじゃないので、作品としては面白かった。絵柄がシンプルなので、話しの重さとのギャップになっていてサクサク読めた。まぁ細かいツッコミどころはあるが、引き込まれるストーリーだった。お父さんは果たして救われたのかいたたまれないのか

This review contains spoilers. I don't dislike this kind of story that makes me feel bad when I finish reading it, so it was interesting as a work. The design was simple, so there was a gap with the weight of the story, so I was able to read it quickly. Well, there are some minor details, but it was a story that drew me in. Was Dad really saved or unbearable

不気味だった…

that was creepy...

最後までことの経緯がわからずサスペンスホラーでした。結構気分の悪くなる話ですが、世にも奇妙な○語を観たような不思議な感覚になります。刺さる人にはすごく刺さると思う

It was suspense horror because I didn't understand the circumstances until the end. It's a story that makes me feel pretty bad, but it makes me feel strange like I've seen some strange words in the world. I think it really stings people who sting

サイコパスな雰囲気

Psychopath vibe

This review contains spoilers. お好み焼きのコゲって、多分褥瘡のことかなもしくは長期間清潔にしてないから皮膚炎や皮膚の状態悪化による壊死とかの可能性とか。いずれにせよ、その界隈を知らなければ表現できないので取材もしくは知識のある作者さんなんだなと思った。作品としてミステリー要素もあって怖さと面白さがあと引く感じ。

This review contains spoilers. Okonomiyaki's koge is probably pressure sores, or the possibility of dermatitis or necrosis due to worsening skin condition because it hasn't been cleaned for a long period of time. Either way, I can't express it without knowing that neighborhood, so I thought it was an author with coverage or knowledge. There is also a mystery element as a work, so it feels like the horror and fun are left behind.

最後まで一気読み

Read it all at once until the end

This review contains spoilers. ふとした瞬間の不気味さが癖になっておもしろかった。表紙とタイトルから興味をひかれて、試し読みしたらgood?してた指が急に?になったり、穴から目が見えたり、どうして？？どんな謎が隠されてるの？って早く読み進めたくなった。?したときはまだ洗脳中だったんだ。この作品の登場人物に関していうと、血が繋がっている家族とはみんな何か闇があって、血が繋がってない家族との方が良い関係が築けていて、血ではなく縁だなと思った。「箱の男」は由美子の父でもあり、さっちゃんの兄でもあり、箱デザイナーのshinでもあったんだ

This review contains spoilers. The creepiness of an accidental moment became a habit, and it was interesting. I was intrigued by the cover and title, so why don't you try reading them? the finger you were doing suddenly? Why can't I see my eyes through the hole?? What mysteries are hidden? It made me want to read on quickly.? I was still brainwashing when I did it. As for the characters in this film, there is something dark about all the families that are related by blood, and better relationships have been built with families that are not related by blood, so I thought it was a relationship rather than blood. “The Man in the Box” was Yumiko's father, Sacchan's older brother, and the box designer Shin

怖い‥

I'm scared...

This review contains spoilers. 絵が可愛らしい感じなのに、この不気味さはなに？！理由が想像もつかなくて。娘視点と母親視点の描写が面白かった。箱の中に片目を見た時はぞくっとしました。ほんとなにこれ？！

This review contains spoilers. The picture is so cute, what is this creepiness?! I can't even imagine why. The depiction of a daughter's point of view and mother's point of view was interesting. I was horrified when I saw one eye inside the box. is this really?!

表紙に惹かれて

Attracted by the cover

おすすめ作品のところに何やら不穏な表紙の漫画が、、試し読みで続きが気になり、買うか悩んでネタバレ見ればいいや、と思いネタバレ読みました。その後、結局購入することに。試し読み増量だったので、その後のページ数は少なかったですが、やはり画の独特な世界観がこの作品の魅力でもあるので、一作品として最後まで見れて良かったと思いました。ネタバレでイメージ出来てなかった、箱の中の父の姿は衝撃的でした。

The comic with a somewhat disturbing cover was a trial reading, but I was curious about the continuation, and I was worried about whether to buy it, so I read spoilers thinking I should watch spoilers. After that, I finally decided to buy it. The amount of trial reading was increased, so the number of pages after that was small, but after all, the unique worldview of the painting is also an appeal of this work, so I thought it was nice to be able to watch it until the end as a single work. The appearance of my father in the box, which I hadn't been able to imagine due to spoilers, was shocking.

家庭内の事は所詮他人にはわからない

After all, no one else can understand things in the family

This review contains spoilers. ちょうど今、京都市南丹町の小学生殺人事件でマスコミや元警察YouTuber等がアレコレ推理している状況と重なるなぁと思いました。どれだけ情報が出てきても、よその家庭内の事は所詮他人にはわからないんですよね。最後に由美子ちゃんが報道にウンザリしつつもそうなのかも？と思ってるあたり、当事者はそんな感じなのかなぁと感じました。香織さんの元夫も冷たいですよね。病院に連れて行ってあげればいいのに…さっちゃんと由美子ちゃんの家の事は同時期に発覚したんですかね？近所でこんな事件が続けて発覚したらこわいなぁ…箱の注文が殺到するのもそりゃそうなるよね、いいアイデアだわ！と思います。真似する人が出ない事を祈ります。全体としては想像できない内容ばかりでつい購入して一気に読んでしまいました。香織さんと母親の過去、由美子ちゃんがすぐに香織さんをママと認識した事、香織さんのお仕事や発覚するまでの生活費は元夫の援助もあったのかな？等、現実的な面で疑問や気になるところもありましたが読みごたえがありました。

This review contains spoilers. Right now, I thought it would overlap with the situation where the mass media, former police YouTubers, etc. are making speculations about the murder case of an elementary school student in Nantan-cho, Kyoto. No matter how much information comes out, after all, other people don't understand things in other households, right? Maybe that's the case even though Yumiko is sick of the press at the end? While I was thinking about it, I had a feeling that the parties involved were like that. Kaori's former husband is also cold, isn't he? I wish I could take them to the hospital... they discovered about Sacchan and Yumiko's house around the same time, right? It would be scary if incidents like this continued to be discovered in the neighborhood... the rush of box orders would happen, that's a great idea! I think so. I pray that no one will imitate you. Overall, it was all unimaginable, so I just bought it and read it all at once. I wonder if Kaori and her mother's past, Yumiko immediately recognized Kaori as her mom, and her former husband's support for Kaori's work and living expenses until she was discovered? There were also questions and concerns in terms of reality, etc., but it was challenging to read.

すごくいい

Very good

This review contains spoilers. インスタのリールで流れてきて、試し読みをしたところすごく面白かったので購入。箱を作った元旦那が良くないと思うが、箱がなかったらゆみこちゃんは救えなかった訳で、なにがダメで何が良くないのか分からなくなる作品だった。親友のさっちゃんに裏切られていた(？)ことが一番驚いた。ゆみこちゃんの不幸でさっちゃんの家が幸せになっているなんて考えてもいなかった。

This review contains spoilers. It came up on Instagram reels, and when I tried reading it, it was really interesting, so I bought it. I don't think the former husband who made the box was good, but Yumiko couldn't be saved without the box, so it was a work where you wouldn't know what was bad and what wasn't good. I was betrayed by my best friend Sacchan (?) That surprised me the most. I didn't even think that Sacchan's house would be happy due to Yumiko's misfortune.

ミステリー

mystery

This review contains spoilers. 特殊家庭ではあるか、家族のあり方は多様化しているだけと思っていたが、いくつもの付箋を回収するミステリー要素を感じる。

This review contains spoilers. I thought the family was just diversifying, probably because it was a special family, but I feel the mystery element of collecting a number of sticky notes.
