切なくも尊い初恋

A sad but precious first love

This review contains spoilers. 優しくて心細やかな男の子ワタルの初恋のお話。ワタルの幼馴染の2人、初恋相手の長田先生、担任の先生、司書の佐藤先生、みんな心優しい良い人ばかり。ワタルがまだそれが恋とは認識できずに戸惑い、やがて恋だと自覚するも告白することもなく密かに失恋。悲しみを誰にも打ち明けずにむりやりに胸にしまう。それでも梅雨時の雨と優しい周囲の人たちがそっと寄り添ってくれます。心情や登場人物たちの人となり、そして雨、虹、ひとつひとつの描写が繊細で心に響く。攻×受だの胸キュンだの当て馬だのイチャラブだの、普段BLに求めているあれやこれやがどうでも良くなるほどに尊い物語です。まるで昔の自分の初恋を思い出すような、そんなノスタルジーをみなさんもぜひ味わってください。

This review contains spoilers. A story about Wataru's first love, a kind and meticulous boy. Wataru's two childhood friends, his first love partner, Mr. Nagata, his homeroom teacher, and Mr. Sato, the librarian, are all kind-hearted and kind people. Wataru was confused because she still couldn't recognize it as love, and eventually she was secretly heartbroken without realizing or confessing that it was love. I don't confide my sorrow to anyone and put it uncontrollably in my heart. Even so, the rain during the rainy season and the kind people around me gently snuggle up to me. The feelings and characters become people, and each depiction of rain and rainbow is delicate and resonates with the heart. It's such a precious story that it doesn't matter what you usually look for in BL: Attack x Receive, Punch, Hitting Horse, Flirtatious Love. Please enjoy this nostalgia that will make you remember your first love in the olden days.

切ない初恋

Sad First Love

This review contains spoilers. 図書委員の亙はお休みしている司書の先生の代わりに来た長田先生と仲良くなり、長田先生に対する淡い気持ちに気付きます。でもある日長田先生が結婚した事を知り亙の初恋はきちんと自覚する前に終わりを告げてしまいます。切ない初恋を通して少し成長するお話です。亙の幼馴染達が本当にいい子で、亙に寄り添って、でも無理強いしたりしない。先生達もみんな優しくて亙を見守っています。卒業式の時の亙の顔が最初の頃より少し大人びて見えました。

This review contains spoilers. Wataru, a member of the library committee, became good friends with Mr. Osada, who came in place of his librarian teacher who was taking a day off, and he noticed his dismissive feelings towards Mr. Osada. But one day, I learned that Nagata sensei had gotten married, and Wataru's first love came to an end before he was properly aware of it. It's a story about growing up a little through a sad first love. Wataru's childhood friends are really nice kids, and they snuggle up to Wataru, but they don't force him. The teachers are all kind and watch over Wataru. Wataru's face at the graduation ceremony looked slightly older than at the beginning.

素敵！優しくて心が暖かくなるストーリー

nice! A gentle and heartwarming story

絵も可愛くて、絵の印象そのままのとても優しいお話本当に読んで良かった。殺伐としたニュースが多い中、この作品の先生はどなたも包容力があってとても優しい。何か感動してじんわり涙が滲みました。この作家先生の作品をもっと読みたいと思います。本当にいい!とても優しい気持ちになる。何度も繰り返しになるけど優しくてとても感動してしまった。だんべえ先生は心が美しい方なんだと思いました。紙の本で入手できないかな？ずっと側に置いて宝物にしたい作品でした。

The pictures are cute, and I'm really glad I read a very kind story with the same impression of the picture. While there is a lot of outrageous news, all of the teachers in this work are tolerant and very kind. I was moved by something and slowly burst into tears. I would like to read more of this writer's work. really nice! It makes me feel so kind. It was repeated over and over again, but I was very moved by how kind they were. I thought Danbee-sensei was a person with a beautiful heart. I wonder if I can get them in paper books? It was a work I wanted to keep by my side for a long time and keep it as a treasure.

大人への階段

Stairs to adults

This review contains spoilers. 自分の弱い部分や同じものに共感出来ること・・・・たとえば好きなおやつが一緒好きな映画のジャンルが同じ花火が好き好きな歌が一緒花が咲いて綺麗と感じるとかオリンピックを楽しみにしてる・・・・などなどわりと一致しないもんです。意外と違った趣味嗜好だったりして一気に気持ちや関心が覚めちゃったりすることも。同性の先生と過ごした時間が居心地がよくって初恋と気付いて戸惑って・・・心がぎゅ～っと締め付けられてる自分がいました。雨を素敵なタイミングにとらえていて雨の時期も好きになれそうなお話でした。出てくる人たちほとんどが優しくって良いお話です。

This review contains spoilers. Being able to empathize with my weak points or the same things... for example, the genres of movies I like the same thing don't match things like liking the same fireworks, my favorite songs blooming together, feeling beautiful, or looking forward to the Olympics... etc. There are times when my feelings and interests are awakened all at once due to surprisingly different hobbies and preferences. The time I spent with my teacher of the same sex was so comfortable that I realized that it was my first love, and I was confused... my heart was tightly tightened. It was a story about capturing rain at a wonderful timing and seemed like I would fall in love with the rainy season as well. It's a nice story where most of the people that come up are kind.

ほんわか

It's warm

BL枠というよりヒューマンかなぁ切なくほっこり、青春の1ページというかんじ。初めて読んだ作家さんでしたが他のものも読んでみたいと思いました。

It's more like a human rather than a BL frame, I feel sad and relaxed, and it's like a page 1 of youth. It was the first time I read this writer, but I wanted to read other things as well.

雨の日の優しい思い出と初恋のほろ苦さ

Tender memories of a rainy day and the bittersweet feeling of first love

This review contains spoilers. 優しく穏やかな図書委員・亙が、いつも友達を待っている図書室で仲良くなった長田先生。先生といる時間が楽しみになって、やがて胸に芽吹いた小さな想いが少しずつ大きく育っていく。ほんわか可愛らしい絵柄と素朴なキャラクターでほっこり和む総106P。自分に自信が持てない亙が素敵な先生達や友達との関わりで成長していく中で初めての恋をする、なんとも切ない初恋の思い出。この恋が実ると思っていたわけじゃないけど、感情移入して読んでいたからか、思わぬ失恋に私もショックを受けてしまった。あ〜切ないなあ…。卒業式の亙が大人っぽくなっていて、幼い恋が終わって未来に向かっていく眩しさにやられました。友達もとってもいい子達。みんな素敵な恋をして欲しいな。

This review contains spoilers. Mr. Osada became good friends in the library where the gentle and gentle library committee member Wataru was always waiting for his friends. I'm looking forward to spending time with my teacher, and little by little, the small feelings that sprout in my heart grow bigger. A total of 106 pages with warm, cute designs and simple characters that make you feel at ease. What a sad memory of first love where Wataru, who doesn't have confidence in herself, falls in love for the first time while growing up with her relationships with wonderful teachers and friends. It wasn't that I thought this love would come to fruition, but I was shocked by the unexpected heartbreak, probably because I was reading it with empathy. ah, that's sad... Wataru at the graduation ceremony looked like an adult, and I was overwhelmed by the dazzling feeling that my childhood love was over and headed into the future. My friends are also very nice kids. I want everyone to have a wonderful love.

やさしいお話

An easy story

ほっこりとして心あたたまる作品でした。思春期の少年の戸惑いや憧れや心の揺れがとてもよく描かれてました。出てくる周りの先生方やお友達もいい人ばかりで、読後感がよかったです。

It was a relaxing and heartwarming work. The puzzlement, longing, and shaking heart of an adolescent boy were very well depicted. The teachers and friends around me who came up were all nice people, and I had a good feeling after reading it.

優しく寄り添ってくれるお話

A story that gently snuggles up to me

This review contains spoilers. だんぺえさんは元々好きな作者さんで、出されている本もいくつか購入させて頂いてます。今回、電子書籍を出される本は購入できなかった話なので、とても楽しみにしてました。主人公の自分には何もないという劣等感や、優しいと言われても素直に受け取れない気持ちに共感するとともに、先生方のそれぞれの良さがあったかく包み込んでくれて、思わず涙しながら読みました。だんぺえさんの作品はどれも、相手を想う、ギュッと胸が締め付けられるような、嬉しい様な苦しい様なキラキラとした恋心にトキメキます。そして、個々が抱える好きじゃない自分の事を、相手と一緒にいると肯定できる様な、そんな優しさがあって大好きです。そのままのあなたで良いんだよといって貰えている様で....！制作大変と思いますが、これからも作品楽しみにしています。

This review contains spoilers. Danpee-san was originally my favorite author, and I've bought several of the books that have been published. It's a story where I couldn't buy the book that will be released as an e-book this time, so I was really looking forward to it. In addition to sympathizing with the protagonist's sense of inferiority that I have nothing and the feeling that I can't honestly take it even when said to be kind, it warmly enveloped me in the teachers' respective merits, and I read it with tears unexpectedly. All of Danpee-san's works are evocative of a sparkling love feeling that feels happy and painful, feeling like thinking about the other person, where my heart is tightened tightly. Also, I love them because they are so kind that when they are with their partner, they can affirm what they each have about themselves that they don't like. It seems like they're saying it's fine just the way you are...! I think the production will be difficult, but I'm looking forward to the work from now on.

思い出すなー、切ないー

I don't remember it, it's sad

過去の記憶が甦ってきました。甘酸っぱい、どういう感情か分からずに悶々としていたあの頃が思い起こされました。雨降るかなぁ。。。あ、今朝は虹が出てたの思い出したよ。

My memories of the past have come back to life. It reminded me of those days when it was sweet and sour, and I was in agony without knowing what kind of emotion it was. I wonder if it will rain... Oh, I remember a rainbow appearing this morning.

青春の葛藤

The conflict of youth

ぽやんぽやんの男の子の、少女マンガみたいな初恋物語かと思いきや、しっかり芯を持ったお話でした。亙の自己肯定感の低さもすごく共感できて、それぞれの考えで見守り、励ます登場人物みんなが良い人です。最後、亙なりに卒業してく姿に、胸がギュ~ってなりました。

I thought it was a story about Poyan Poyan boy's first love like a girls' manga, but it was a story with a strong core. I can also really sympathize with Wataru's low sense of self-affirmation, and all of the characters who watch and encourage them with their own thoughts are good people. Finally, the sight of Watanari graduating made me crank my heart.

く、くるしっ！

Wow, that's crazy!

This review contains spoilers. ヨミホ。絵がほんわかしてて可愛いし、ストーリーも切なくて良いです。初恋は叶わないって言いますもんね…漫画の主人公には両思いになってハッピーエンドになって欲しいと思いますが、これは現実にあるような切ない青春の1ページで良かったです。胸がぎゅーんってなって苦しかった。でもあんな素敵な幼馴染が居てくれるから良かったな。BL的にはこの幼馴染が実は亙のことが好きで…という展開がありそうだしそれを読んでみたい気もする。

This review contains spoilers. Yomiho. The pictures are warm and cute, and the story isn't sad. They say first love doesn't come true... I want the main character of the comic to have both feelings and have a happy ending, but I'm glad this is a page 1 of sad youth that seems to exist in reality. My heart felt tight and it was painful. But I'm glad I had such a wonderful childhood friend. In terms of BL, there seems to be a development where this childhood friend actually likes Wataru... and I also feel like reading it.
