  どこに住むかより誰と一緒にいるかが大事
  Who you are with is more important than where you live
  この物語の題材を考えると、なんだか物足りなさを感じます。義理とはいえ兄妹という関係で悩むべきはそこなのに「これも事故なの？」とヒロインサシーの言葉に、ヒーロールークは心中を隠したままなのはかなり卑怯。これでは、裸の義妹を見て反応しちゃいました的発展に見えてしまう。ヒロイン婚約者はサイテーヤローだけれど、殴って終わりにするだけなのもなんだか悔しいが、それがきっかけでハピエンなのだからまぁ仕方なしとはいえ、今一つ納得いかない。両親の再婚で出来た素敵な兄に、素敵すぎて素直になれないサシーの気持ちは分かったが、10年後の義妹の姿に惹かれるルークの気持ちにピントが合わなくて歯がゆさを残す。兄の介入で婚約に至ったわけだし、過去の事象でも差し込まれていれば（仲よくしようと努力した何か）もっと拗れ具合からの発展を納得できるような気がするのだけれど。もっと、10年の間に少しずつ積もった変化に引っ掛かるものを感じて目を離せず、婚約解消時に気持ちが決壊したという衝動みたいな溢れる感情を読みたかった。

  When I think about the subject of this story, I feel that it's somewhat unsatisfactory. Even though they are in-laws, they should worry about the relationship between brother and sister, but “is this also an accident?” It's pretty cowardly that the hero Luke keeps his heart hidden in the words of the heroine Sassy. With this, it looks like a development where I saw my naked sister-in-law and reacted to it. The heroine's fiancee is crazy, and it's kind of frustrating that she just punched her to end it, but that triggered her to be a happy person, so even though it can't be helped, I'm not convinced right now. I understand Sassy's feelings for her wonderful older brother who was too nice to be honest with her parents, but the focus doesn't match Luke's feelings, who are attracted to the appearance of her sister-in-law 10 years from now, leaving an itchy tooth. My older brother's intervention led to an engagement, and I feel like I can be convinced of the development from a more relentless state of affairs if past events have been inserted (something they made an effort to be good friends). Furthermore, I felt something caught up in the changes that gradually piled up over a period of 10 years, didn't take my eyes off it, and I wanted to read an overflowing emotion like the impulse that my feelings broke down when the engagement was dissolved.

  わりと穏やか。
  It's pretty calm.
  親の再婚により兄妹になったふたり。兄妹だけど兄妹じゃない、という微妙な関係。義兄妹だと、兄のほうが妹をひどく拒絶するパターンを見てきましたが、こちらの作品は穏やかで男前なヒーローです。素直になってハッピーエンド、よかったです。

  The two became brother and sister due to their parents' remarriage. A delicate relationship where they are brother and sister, but not brother and sister. When it comes to brother-in-law and sister-in-law, I've seen a pattern where the older brother severely rejects the younger sister, but this work is a calm and handsome hero. It was nice to be honest and have a happy ending.

  ハッピーなお話
  Happy story
  お相手が母の再婚相手の連れ子、というのはハーレではよくある気がしますが、今作はほんの少し背徳的な雰囲気も。とはいえ、人生を謳歌しようとするヒロインと、ひたすら男前なヒーローの、ハッピーなお話でした。

  I feel like it's common in Harle for the partner to be the stepchild of the mother's remarriage partner, but this film also has a slightly immoral atmosphere. Nonetheless, it was a happy story between a heroine trying to enjoy her life and a hero who was simply handsome.
