試し読みからすぐ購入！

I bought it right after the trial reading!

試し読みで読んでみて気になり購入してみました。なんかとても不気味な感じといろんな人の心情が交わって…ありえるようねありえないような話で時折り背筋がゾワっとする感覚もあり。とても面白かったです。ぜひ読んで欲しい✨

I read it as a trial reading and was curious, so I bought it. Something very creepy intersects with the feelings of various people... it seems impossible, and sometimes there is a feeling that my back feels creepy from time to time. It was very interesting. I definitely want you to read it ✨

とても楽しく読めました

I had a lot of fun reading

実際はないだろうという内容ではあるものの実は端々には日頃誰しもが経験しているような事ばかり。自分の生活を改めて考えさせられるような内容で長くもなく一瞬で読めました。楽しかったです。

The content is that it probably doesn't actually exist, but in fact, it's just something that everyone experiences on a daily basis. It didn't take long and I was able to read it in an instant because it made me think again about my life. It was fun.

心に刺さりました

It stuck in my heart

愛の形。考えさせられますね。世間から異常がられてもそこには家族にしかわからない何かがある。洗脳やら病気と言われてしまえばそれまでかもしれません。そもそも普通ってなんなんでしょうね。

The shape of love. It makes me think. There is something only the family can understand, even if there is an anomaly from the world. If people say brainwashing or illness, that may be enough. I wonder what normal is in the first place.

これやばい

this is terrible

あとから出てくる情報がやばすぎてもう見入ってしまう。お母さんとはこのお父さんの関係や娘の成長の過程などが面白い

The information that comes out later is so bad that I just stare at it. The father's relationship with the mother and the daughter's growth process are interesting

映画化しないでほしい（褒めてる）

I don't want it to be made into a movie (I'm praising you)

ネタバレレビューは読まずに最後まで読んでほしいです。シンプルな絵柄なのに読み応えあったなー。自分が今何歳なのか、男なのか女なのか、独身なのか結婚してるのか子供はいるのか、読む人の立場で読後感は違うと思いますがぜひ読んでほしいです。

I want you to read to the end without reading the spoiler reviews. Even though the pattern was simple, it was worth reading. I think the feeling after reading is different from the standpoint of the reader, whether he is a man or woman, whether he is single, married, or has children, but I definitely want you to read it.

面白かった

That was interesting

立ち読み分、他の方のレビューなどを見て、まあこんな感じのお話かなと想像した物語より、たくさんの事が詰め込まれていて読み応えがありました。ちょっとお値段高いし…と購入を迷っていたのですが、結果購入して良かったです。本当に良い作品でした。忘れた頃にまた読み返して、またおおー！となりたいです。

It was packed with a lot more things and was worth reading than the story where I looked at the reading, reviews from other people, etc., and imagined that it was a story like this. I was hesitating about purchasing because it was a bit expensive... but I'm glad I bought it as a result. It was a really good work. I reread it when I forgot it, and oh again! I want to be.

ミステリ好きなら読むべし！！

If you like mysteries, you should read it!

立ち読みから気になりすぎて、一気に買ってしまいましたが、最後まで緊張感のあるストーリーで、読了後も余韻が残るほど秀逸な作品でした！由美子や母親、友達の心情描写などにぐっとくるものがありました。おすすめ！！

I was so excited from the stand-up reading that I bought it all at once, but it was a story with a sense of tension until the end, and it was such an excellent work that lingered even after reading it! There were a lot of things, such as depicting the feelings of Yumiko, her mother, and her friends. I recommend it!!

映画化されそう

Looks like it will be made into a movie

表現力が抜群。箱アーティストのスピンオフもあって欲しいと思うような作品だった。これは読むべき一冊。

Excellent expressiveness. It was a work that made me wish there was also a spin-off by Box Artist. This is a book you should read.

家族のカタチとは

What is the shape of a family

サイコ系な面白さのある映画化にピッタリな作品。読んでてどんどん引きこまれました！母の愛から始まる箱物語。しっかり作り込まれていて最後も良かったです。

This film is perfect for a psycho funny film adaptation. I was more and more drawn in as I read it! A box story that begins with a mother's love. It was well built and the end was great too.

珍しくこの手の漫画に課金

Unusually charge for this kind of comic

おもしろくて見入ってしまったww箱の男は下痢の時どうするんだろうばっかり気になりました。あと風呂も入ってないし箱の穴から匂いがしてやばそうなのと便臭と尿臭が中に籠って臭そう...

I was so intrigued that I was curious about what the man in the lol box did when he had diarrhea. Also, I haven't even taken a bath, the smell comes from the hole in the box, and the smell of feces and urine are trapped inside and it seems stinky...

面白く切ない

It's funny and sad

立読増量である程度読んだ後購入。思いがけ無い展開でした。人は人知れず思いもよらぬ想いを抱いている…結末にも驚かされました。ホラーは苦手ですが、単純にホラーとも言えないような…家族の絆とは何か。深く考えさせられる作品です。

I bought it after reading it to a certain extent with an increase in the amount of reading stand up. It was an unexpected development. People are unknown and have unexpected feelings... I was surprised by the ending. I'm not good at horror, but I can't simply call it horror... what is a family bond? It's a work that makes me think deeply.

I read the reviews and made a payment, it's interesting, but my expectations have gone up to that point? Yes, I think people who are usually concerned should make a charge

本当にありそうな話

A story that really seems likely

初めから終わりまで食い入るように読みました。結末はびっくりだったけど、由美子が幸せならいいかなと思います。

I read it in such a way as to eat from beginning to end. I was surprised by the ending, but I think it would be nice if Yumiko was happy.

壊れてしまったお母さん

Broken mom

This review contains spoilers. 楽しみにしていた赤ちゃんを臨月で死産してしまい、精神的に壊れてしまったお母さん。いるはずのない「ゆみこちゃん」と生活しているつもりになっている所に、生きている本物の「ゆみこちゃん」に出会ってしまう。「箱」のせいで何かが狂い、「箱」のおかげで酷い扱いを受けていたゆみこはお父さんから救われ、お母さんの大きな愛を受けて精神的に健康に育つ。そして壊れていたお父さんも、人間らしい人間に戻っていく。元々は出られない「箱」を作った元夫が悪いが、死産がなければお母さんは精神的に壊れなかった。箱がなければ、酷い父親からゆみこを救う手段がなかった。次々と歯車が壊れていく所に怖さがある。しかしながらお母さんは常に冷静だった。お父さんに冷静にサディスティックな事ができる所が本当に恐ろしい。それほどまでに、ゆみこを愛する、守る気持ちが一番にある人なんだと思った。しかしもう少し違うやり方で、ゆみこちゃんを養子に迎えられなかったんだろうか…と思わずにはいられない。ゆみこへのプレゼントにペンを発注し、受取人を轟さんにしていた所等、細かい所の伏線回収が素晴らしい。親友と思っていたさっちゃんの裏切りが個人的に一番ショックでした。人間の表と裏、被害者と加害者は表裏一体の所、そして狂気を見れて、本当に面白かったです。

This review contains spoilers. A mother who was mentally broken because she stillborn the baby she had been looking forward to in the last month. When I think I'm living with “Yumiko-chan,” who isn't supposed to be there, I run into a real “Yumiko-chan” who is alive. Something went wrong because of the “box,” and Yumiko, who was treated badly thanks to the “box,” was saved by her father, received great love from her mother, and grew up mentally healthy. Then, the broken father also returns to being a human-like person. My former husband, who originally made a “box” that can't be taken out, is bad, but without a stillbirth, the mother wouldn't be mentally broken. Without the box, there was no way to save Yumiko from her terrible father. I'm scared that the gears are breaking down one after another. However, my mother was always calm. It's really scary to be able to calmly do sadistic things to your dad. Up to that point, I thought Yumiko was the person who loved and protected Yumiko the most. However, I can't help but wonder if they weren't able to adopt Yumiko in a slightly different way... The pen was ordered as a present for Yumiko, and the collection of detailed information is wonderful, such as the place where the recipient was Todoro-san. The betrayal of Sacchan, who I thought was my best friend, shocked me the most. It was really interesting to see the front and back of humans, where the victim and the perpetrator are two sides of the same coin, and insanity.

This review contains spoilers. I understood very well the beginning and end of the incident I heard about on the news. Why is that happening? Things I didn't understand were also well understood in this book. While I sincerely want Yumiko to be happy, I can also understand her mom's suffering... That was interesting.

It's good that the pictures are fuzzy, it's good that they don't talk too much, and I'm not good at horror, so I was able to read it smoothly until the end. I paid for the first time in my life to read comics. I'm glad I bought it. I'm rooting for you.

天才！伏線回収の天才！！！

genius! The genius who collected foreshadowing!!

This review contains spoilers. 相当ヤバいストーリーなのにちび◯こちゃんのようなほっこりした絵にギャップが！！！！！天才過ぎて作者を讃える言葉が他に見当たらない！！！練りに練った背筋がピーンとするストーリー、見事なまでの伏線回収が素晴らしい！！！一体何を食べたらこんなストーリーが思いつくのか！！！マインドコントロールの巧みさ。『10万円貸してください』これですぐにあなたに貸してくれる人は周りにいますか？これは使える（いつ、使うんだ）２周目には全てを知った上でまた新しい発見がお好み焼きの縁のような〇〇が心に刺さる最後に笑うのは誰？ドラマ化熱望です！！！もしくはハリウッドで！！！！

This review contains spoilers. It's a pretty dangerous story, but there's a gap in the relaxing picture like Chibi!!!! I can't find any other words praising the author because he's too genius!!! The spine-tingling story, and the spectacular collection of foreshadowing is amazing!!! What the hell do you eat to come up with this story!!! Skillful mind control. “Please lend me 100,000 yen” is there anyone around me who can lend it to you right away? You can use this (when do you use it) On the second lap, you know everything, and then a new discovery sticks to your heart like the edge of okonomiyaki, who laughs last? I'm eager to make it into a drama!! or in Hollywood!!!
