一気読み後悔なし！！

Read it all at once, no regrets!!

映画を一本見たような伏線回収の爽快感。家族の形は人それぞれとはいえ、やり過ぎな人ばかりだけど、全員が拗れに拗れまくったらこういうことになってしまうかもなぁ。

The exhilarating feeling of collecting foreshadowing is like watching a movie. Although each person has a different family shape, there are only people who have gone too far, but if everyone relentlessly relentlessly, this might happen.

惹き込まれます

I'm drawn in

立ち読みでみてすぐ購入してしまうほど惹き込まれました。実写化してほしい。ラストにすべてが詰まっています。

I was so drawn in that I bought it as soon as I read it standing up. I want it to be made into a live action. Everything is packed at the end.

不気味さの中に愛を考えさせられる作品

A work that makes you think about love in the midst of creepiness

レビュータイトル通りです。考察しがいのある難解な話でしたが、一読の価値大いにありです。生まれたばかりの息子をより愛そうと思いました。

As the review title says. It was an esoteric story worth considering, but it's well worth reading. I wanted to love my newborn son even more.

箱の男

The Man in the Box

めっちゃ面白いみんな狂っててさっちゃんも変だったみてよかった作品でした。この人の作品またみたいです

It was a really interesting work where everyone was crazy and Sacchan was weird too, so it was a great work. I want to see this person's work again

怖い…みんな怖いよ…

I'm scared... everyone is scared...

This review contains spoilers. 絵は可愛いけど、サスペンスですね。そもそも一コマめからミスリード！もう一つの箱の事件の件も出てくるので見事にやられました。周りの人達も読み進めるにしたがって怖くなる。ただ…箱の中でお好み焼きのお焦げになってたパパは、箱の中からだからこそ由美子を可愛がれたんですね。由美子は、偽物のママと箱の中で洗脳されてるパパとの生活は心から笑ってて幸せそう。箱の中に閉じ込められる前のパパから救い出されてたのかもね。由美子がこれからも幸せになれるといいなと思いました。

This review contains spoilers. The picture is cute, but it's suspenseful. First of all, it was a mislead from the first minute! The case of the other box incident also came up, so it was done brilliantly. The people around me also get scared as they read on. However... Dad, who had burnt okonomiyaki in the box, fell in love with Yumiko precisely because it was inside the box. Yumiko is genuinely laughing at her life with her fake mom and her dad who is brainwashed in a box and seems happy. Maybe they were rescued by their dad before they were trapped in a box. I thought it would be great if Yumiko would continue to be happy.

大人のおとぎ話

fairy tale for adults

箱の中で生きる父と、その家族の物語。極限までそぎ落とされたシンプルな絵。簡潔な語り口…漫画というより絵本のような不穏な事件。異様な光景。次第に真実が明かされてゆく徹底的に歪んだ形を提示して、読者に問う――家族とは何なのか。無駄のない構成、センセーショナルなテーマ…面白かった。いろんな読み方ができる作品だと思う。ホラー漫画として読むなら文句なく星５つ。読み終わったあと、登場人物それぞれの生きざまに考えさせられる。この絆を善や悪で語らないところが好きでした。ある意味リアルな、大人の童話。今からの季節、ひんやりした気分になりたいときに。おススメです

The story of a father living in a box and his family. A simple picture taken to the extreme. Simple narration... a disturbing incident that is more like a picture book than a comic. A strange sight. It presents a thoroughly distorted form in which the truth is gradually revealed, and asks readers — what is a family? The lean structure, the sensational theme... it was interesting. I think it's a work that can be read in many ways. If you read it as a horror comic, 5 stars without complaint. After I've finished reading it, it makes me think about the way each character lives. I liked that they didn't talk about this bond in terms of good or bad. In a sense, it's a realistic adult children's story. This is the coming season, when you want to feel cool. I recommend

衝撃的な作品

A shocking work

This review contains spoilers. 人の弱さが良くわかる。心理描写もわかりやすい。それぞれの悩みや苦しみ、家族の愛とは何かを考えさせる作品でした。

This review contains spoilers. I understand people's weaknesses very well. The psychological depiction is also easy to understand. It was a work that made me think about each one's worries and suffering, and what family love is.

That was interesting

I was attracted to trial readings and bought it so interesting that I don't know what's good and what's bad, but it's made up of that... I like works with a bad aftertaste ◎

課金してしまった。後悔は全くない。

I paid for it. I have absolutely no regrets.

This review contains spoilers. とても読み応えがあって課金して本当に良かったです。箱に入ったことによって人間になれた、というパパのセリフに考えさせられました。箱に入る前の普通の生活では様々な欲や誘惑が山のようにあったと思います。でも箱に入ったことによって、1食1食の食事の有り難さや、由美子にちょっと優しく接してもらったことで泣くほど愛情を感じ取れたりと、ちょっとしたことに対して全神経を使って感謝するという気持ちは、箱に入る前だとどうして出来ないのだろう、と思いました。人間とはそういうものなのか。...私自身はそういうちょっとしたことに対して感謝したり愛情を感じたりがどれだけ出来ているだろうか。今の私は人間らしく生きれているのだろうか。...だからといって箱に入りたくはないので、自分の目の前にある1つ1つの事を大切に、目の前の人の少しの優しさに心から感謝して、丁寧に生きていきたいなと思いました。

This review contains spoilers. It was very readable and I'm really glad I paid for it. Dad's line about being in a box made me think. I think there was a mountain of desires and temptations in my normal life before entering the box. But since it came in the box, I was wondering why I couldn't do the feeling of being thankful for one meal at a time, and feeling grateful for little things with all my nerves, such as being treated kindly by Yumiko, and feeling grateful for little things with all my nerves. Is that what humans are... How much am I personally able to appreciate and feel love for such little things? I wonder if I'm living like a human being now... However, I didn't want to be in a box, so I wanted to cherish every single thing in front of me, sincerely appreciate the little kindness of the person in front of me, and live carefully.

一気読み

Read it all at once

面白さから一気読みしました。内容的にも1巻で収まりきっていて短編漫画としてはかなりの良作だと思います。

I read it all at once because it was fun. In terms of content, it fits all in one volume, and I think it's a pretty good work for a short comic.

＂普通＂とは

What is “normal”

こんな満足感のある一巻は初めてです。面白かった。普通ってなんなんでしょうね。誰が基準で誰が決めて誰の物差しで測ったんでしょうね。＂普通＂も人それぞれでいいでしょう。

This is my first time reading a volume with such a sense of satisfaction. That was interesting. I wonder what normal is. Who decided it based on the standards, and whose yardstick was used to measure it? It's fine for each person to be “normal.”

不思議…

it's strange...

This review contains spoilers. すごく面白かったです．長い話ではないのに至る所に伏線があり、その回収もシンプルなのにドキドキして、一気に読んでしまいました．久々に漫画を読みましたがこんな面白い作品があるんですね．まるで映画を見た後のような余韻です．

This review contains spoilers. It was really interesting. Even though it wasn't a long story, there were foreshadowing everywhere, and even though the collection was simple, I was excited, and I read it all at once. I read comics for the first time in a while, and there are such interesting works. The afterglow is like after watching a movie.

斬新で怖さと優しさが混在していて混乱する

It's novel and it's confusing because it's a mixture of fear and kindness

設定がとても斬新で展開も予想外でとても驚きました。人の優しさ、怖さ、危うさ、軽率さ、色んな事を考えました。普通の家庭で普通に育つ事がどれだけありがたい事か。信じがたいストーリーでしたがこんな風に心が壊れている人も居るという事は忘れてはいけない気がしました。

I was very surprised that the settings were so novel and the developments were unexpected. I thought about people's kindness, fear, danger, and carelessness. How thankful I am to grow up normally in a normal family. It was a hard story to believe, but I felt like we must not forget that there are people whose hearts are broken in this way.

ラストの展開がゾッとしました

The last development was scary

読み進めるほど登場人物それぞれの事情や歪んだ愛情が見えてきて、本当の悪とは何かを考えさせられた。作品名の意味が最後に変わるような感覚もゾッとして、後味も含めてとても面白かったです。

The more I read, the more I saw the circumstances and distorted love of each character, and it made me think about what real evil is. The feeling that the meaning of the title of the work changed at the end was scary, and it was very interesting, including the aftertaste.

まさかの展開

Unexpected developments

はじめはギャグ漫画かと思うくらいの意外過ぎる設定で、暇つぶし程度に購入しました。まさかまさかの展開に一人でえー！とか言いながら一気に読み終わりました。何だか心が温まる不思議な作品でした。みなさん読んだ方がいいです。

At first, the setting was so surprising that I thought it was a gag comic, so I bought it to kill time. I never thought it would unexpectedly unfold, all alone! I finished reading it all at once while saying something like that. It was a strange work that somehow warmed my heart. Everyone should read it.

ぐいぐい引き込まれた！

I was so drawn in!

生まれて初めて課金して漫画を読みました。課金はしないと決めていたのに、これだけはどうしても読みたかったのです。絵がほのぼのしているのに戦慄の内容。引き込まれるストーリー。登場人物は個性もバラバラで様々なのに、この部分は自分にもある部分かも、と思わせる繊細な人物描写。読み終えた後も余韻が残り、他の方のレビューを見て、そこは気づかなかった！とまた初めから読み返し…。とにかく面白い作品でした。みなさん読んで欲しいです。

I paid for the first time in my life to read comics. I had decided not to charge, but I really wanted to read this. Even though the picture is heartwarming, the content is terrifying. An engaging story. Even though the characters have different personalities and are diverse, this part is a delicate depiction of characters that makes you think that they also have their own. The afterglow remained even after I finished reading it, and when I looked at other people's reviews, I didn't notice that! and reread it from the beginning again... Anyway, it was an interesting work. I want everyone to read it.
