  ボスとの恋はシンドイよね。
  Being in love with a boss is painful, isn't it?
  好きなのに、地位や嫉妬やそのほかいろいろが邪魔をして、なかなか 上手くいかない恋だったけれど、最初の出会いが 神秘的で妖艶だった分、地道な努力と愛情が実を結び、ハピエンになりましたって感じでした。篠崎先生の絵、大好きです。

  Even though I liked it, status, jealousy, and various other things got in the way, and it was a love that didn't go very well, but as my first encounter was mysterious and bewitching, my steady effort and love came to fruition, and I felt like I had become happy. I love Shinozaki-sensei's paintings.

  出会った夜から
  From the Night We Met
  ぶれずにずっと気持ちは続くが、互いに一歩踏み込めていない二人。しかし会えば求める気持ちを抑え切れないのも確か。子どもっぽいキャラが不思議に割と闊歩するHQコミック界で、篠崎先生は、ちゃんとヒロインは大人。ラブシーンの空気を艶めいたものとしてしっぽり描ける。再会を相互確認した後の二人のコマは、二人が二人の間に妖しく漂う雰囲気に呑まれ、いつでも性的関係にもつれ込みそうな、ギリギリに立っている感じが出ている。ヒロインの抱えていることは、伝えるタイミングが難しいし、言えるムードもなかなか無かったけれど、互いに二人の関係を相手がどういうつもりかも知り損なって従兄弟の結婚式の日まで来てしまったけれど、伝えられたのがそのタイミングだったのは悪くなかった。それは意外に(？)相当に相手を好きなことを伝える事にも繋がる訳だから。彼のヒロインへの執着が結構私は好きだ。要するに忘れられない一夜だったのはどちらも同じだったわけだ。そういう二人になってしまったら、気まずくなったり、喧嘩したりするといたたまれずやめることになるのは部下だから、会社組織の中での恋愛は味方が居てもいずれ出るのは自然だ。但しあのきっかけは、もののはずみ的だったかなぁ。公私混同するなと理屈はわかっていても、実際、確かに彼の心配はその通りだったろう。それにしても西洋物では、映画でもお話でも、頻繁に家族がオフィスを訪れるので、これこそ公私混同との謗りを受けないものなのだろうかと、よく思う。職場恋愛は公私混同の極み、ひかれあっているならなにも言うことはないが。また、二人各々優秀な筈だが頭取職辞して早期隠居？凄い資本家設定の話。118頁、ナタリーが、ではなくナタリーを、だと思う。ベス宛の手紙は二人の仲から自然だが、彼の母親イレーネやナタリーとのウマの合いそうなヒロインのキャラが親しみを感じさせ、その反面フレッチャーの馴れ馴れしさをも呼び込んでしまったとは思う。売り言葉に買い言葉のように離れた前の職場から送別会の企画。ヒロインの人柄のそんな描かれ方に、落ち着いた周囲を想像させ、舞台には安心感がある。銀行トップに来てから再会後のところ、時間経過変と思う。他の秘書とのことからして面接に来るように言うタイミングと、「数ヵ月後」の関係が。月夜は描かれなかったが、邦題は好きだ。(原題の素っ気ない客観的なものよりも)

  Their feelings continue unwavering, but they haven't stepped one step further than each other. However, it is also certain that once they meet, they will not be able to suppress their desire. In the HQ comic world, where childlike characters walk around strangely, Shinozaki-sensei is an adult heroine. The air of a love scene can be drawn comfortably as something glossy. After they mutually confirmed their reunion, there is a feeling that they are standing at the last minute, swallowed by the atmosphere that mysteriously drifts between them, and seem to get entangled in a sexual relationship at any time. The timing for conveying what the heroine is having was difficult, and there wasn't much mood to say, but they didn't even know what the other person meant about the relationship between the two, and it came until my cousin's wedding day, but it wasn't bad that it was that timing that was conveyed. That's surprising (?) That's because it also leads to telling the other person something you like quite a bit. I like his obsession with the heroine quite a bit. In short, it was an unforgettable night, and they were both the same. If they become such two people, it is their subordinates who don't fold up and stop if they get into a fight, so it's natural for romance within a company organization to eventually come out even if they have allies. However, I wonder if that trigger was something farsighted. Even though he understood the logic that public and private should not be confused, in fact, his concerns were certainly true. Even so, in Western style, families frequently visit the office, whether in movies or stories, so I often wonder if this is something that is not criticized for mixing public and private. Workplace romance is the height of public-private confusion, and if you're attracted to each other, there's nothing to say. Also, both of them are supposed to be excellent, but they resigned as presidents and retired early? A story about amazing capitalist settings. Page 118, I think it's Natalie, not Natalie. The letter addressed to Beth comes naturally from the relationship between the two, but I think the heroine character who seems to be a good match for his mother, Irene and Natalie, made me feel familiar, and on the other hand, it also brought in Fletcher's familiarity. Plan a farewell party from a previous workplace that seemed like a buying word to sell. The way the heroine's personality is depicted makes me imagine a calm surroundings, and there is a sense of security on the stage. I think time has changed since they came to the top of the bank and after the reunion. There is a relationship between the timing of asking other secretaries to come for an interview and “a few months later.” Moonlit Night wasn't drawn, but I like the Japanese title. (More than the casual and objective thing in the original title)

  幸せな気持ちになれます
  It makes me feel happy
  色々事件が起きる話より幸せがしっかり実感できる話が好きなので、これは最高でした。

  I like stories where I can really feel happiness rather than stories where various incidents happen, so this was great.
