  セフ?....じゃない?上質なセリフ劇
  sef?... isn't it? High quality dialogue drama
  HQは英語圏のノベルをコミカライズしている手前、原作の主旨・その良さをどう著すか作画者の力量にかかっている。今作の主人公二人のセリフは恐ろしく長く多量。下手すると作画がセリフに埋もれかねない。が、さすがのくぼた尚子先生！余分の無い作画、その線の美しさで魅せてもらった。登場人物はそれなりに多いものの、舞台上での二人劇設定をも想像できたし、ウェットな日本では考えられない小洒落た感じがくぼた作画にとてもあっていてとても楽しめた。

  HQ is just before comicalizing English-speaking novels, and it depends on the artist's ability to write the main theme and merits of the original work. The lines between the two main characters in this film are frighteningly long and numerous. If you don't do well, the drawing may get buried in dialogue. But, as expected, Kubota Naoko sensei! I was fascinated by the seamless drawing and the beauty of its lines. Although there are quite a few characters, I was able to imagine the setting for a two-person drama on stage, and I really enjoyed the animation because it had a small, stylish feel that was unimaginable in wet Japan.

  すてきな家族
  A wonderful family
  This review contains spoilers. とにかくヒーローの家族が素敵でした。お父さんは家を出ていると言うことだったけれど、兄妹弟、そして妹の恋人になる幼馴染でもある同居人…皆がお互いを思い合う優しい家族でした。元々ヒロインのファンだった妹と弟を通して、そしてラジオや電話でリスナーの相談にのっている彼女を知っていたヒーローが、医師と患者とじてヒロインと出会い、真面目な彼が色目で見ていた彼女の本当の姿を知って愛を感じていく姿に心が和みました。顔を合わせると言いい合いになってしまう二人ですが、ヒロインもヒーローに心を惹かれていきます。クリスマスシーズンが効果的に使われていて、話を盛り上げてくれました。とてもじっくり読んでしまったという読後感です。読んで幸せなお話です！

  This review contains spoilers. Anyway, the hero's family was wonderful. Dad said he had left the house, but brother and brother, and the flatmate who is also a childhood friend who becomes the younger sister's lover... it was a kind family where everyone cared for each other. The hero, who knew her through her younger sister and brother, who was originally a fan of the heroine, and who was consulting with listeners on the radio and phone, met the heroine as a doctor and patient, and I felt comfort in the sight of him knowing her true form, which he had seen in color, and felt love. When they meet face to face, the two become good friends, but the heroine is also fascinated by the hero. The Christmas season was used effectively, and it made the story exciting. After reading it, I felt that I had read it very carefully. It's a happy story to read!

  そう思っているならそう思わせておこう
  If you think so, let me think so
  かなり、地味で 鬱陶しいくらい焦らしてくれる物語でした。が、ヒーローダニエルもヒロインレースも実は、お互いが持っているお互いの印象とは 真逆の人だった。各々が気になる存在であるにもかかわらず それを否定し続けるのには 各々の家族の事情が絡んでいた。ダニエルは父親の影響で、レースは母親の影響で。それは、子供としては１番の教師であらねばならない存在の不在が招いた結果ではあるが、気の毒な状況に変わりはない。それでも２人は そんな親とは決別して線引きができている。幸か不幸かこの事がお互いの印象を決めつける要因となった。だから、それを知った時両者とも そういう事ならそれを利用して 足掛かりを作ろうと試みた。ここが、この物語の本質で面白いところ。派手なロマンスではないけれど、子供ではないという一風変わった関係の持ち方に 相手をどう取り込んで本意を遂げるかが描かれているのだ。意外な真実に驚いたのは両者だった。「騙した」のはどちらか。「卑怯」なのはどちらか。どっちもどっちだろうと 私はほくそ笑む。心がそこに無ければ、お互いしたり顔で罵る場面だが、切り捨てられない思いが繋がれていた。出来る事なら、1ヶ月という間を置くのではなくて、もう少し目線の絡み合いを作って、ドキドキを読みたかったが、男だから、女だから という不自由さを取っ払ったところにある 女でも、男でも という自由さを「愛」という名のもとに 読みたかった。

  It was a pretty plain and depressing story that made me impatient. However, both the hero Daniel and the heroine Race were actually people who were the exact opposite of the impression they had of each other. The circumstances of each family involved the fact that they continued to deny it even though they were concerned about it. Daniel was influenced by his father, and racing was influenced by his mother. This is a result of the absence of someone who must be the number one teacher as a child, but there is no change in the sorry situation. Nevertheless, the two broke up with such parents and were able to draw a line. Fortunately or unluckily, this was a factor that determined our impressions of each other. So, when they learned about it, they both tried to use it to create a foothold. This is where the essence of this story is interesting. It's not a flashy romance, but it depicts how they achieve their true intentions by incorporating the other person into an unusual way of having a relationship where they are not children. They were both surprised by the surprising truth. Which one “cheated”? Which one is “cowardly”? Either one or the other makes me laugh out loud. If their heart wasn't there, it was a scene where they cursed each other with their faces, but feelings that couldn't be cut off were connected. If I could, I wanted to read the excitement by creating a little more entanglement of perspectives instead of setting aside a month, but I wanted to read the freedom of being a woman or a man who got rid of the inconvenience of being a man or woman under the name “love.”
