  愛には障害がつきものという話
  A story about love comes with obstacles
  メイの人生全て「祖父」が障害となって行き詰まる。アダムとの恋も。けれど、一つ解せない事がある。メイの母親が間違いを犯したと祖父が責めているにもかかわらず、なぜメイを一般の学校に通学させていたのかという事。名門校のカリキュラムにはお嬢様というアイデンティティーを育てられないと絶望したからなのか？結局は祖父のその判断が裏目に出たわけだ。祖父が執拗にアダムを攻撃するのは祖父自身の過ちをチャラにしたかったからと読んだ。狭量な男だそれが判事だなんて背筋が凍る思いがする。それでもメイもアダムも消えていない想い。離れていても憎いと思っても忘れていない。特にメイの優しさや一途さが際立っている。そんな情熱がそこここに見えてロマンチックな流れは佳境へ。アダムが拘っていた事象の誤解が解けていく中、メイがバラの花びらを１枚１枚拾い集める場面は秀逸と言える。クリスマス前の寒い夜、水をかけられたアダムだって凍えただろうが、その後何分もかけて水浸しの地面に屈みこみ花びらを探すメイはもっと凍えていただろうと考えると、目頭が熱くなる。クライマックスは「もう何もいらないからアダムを助けて」メイの叫びにようやく愛の尊さ重要さを財産に替えることなどできないと示してくれた。ただ、登場人物の全身や半身がクネクネとした書き方なのが気になって仕方ない。真っ直ぐに立っててもらいたい箇所が目に付く。

  Mei's whole life comes to a standstill because her “grandfather” becomes an obstacle. Love with Adam too. However, there is one thing I can't solve. I wonder why Mei was sent to a regular school even though her grandfather blames Mei's mother for making a mistake. Is it because I despaired that I couldn't develop the identity of a young lady in the curriculum of a prestigious school? In the end, my grandfather's decision backfired. I read that my grandfather relentlessly attacked Adam because I wanted to make fun of my grandfather's own mistakes. He's a narrow man. I have a spine-chilling feeling that it's the judge. Even so, neither May nor Adam's feelings have disappeared. I haven't forgotten even when I'm away, even if I hate it. In particular, Mei's kindness and perseverance stand out. Such passion can be seen here and there, and the romantic flow is at its best. While misunderstandings about the events that Adam was concerned about are being resolved, the scene where Mei collects rose petals one by one can be said to be excellent. On the cold night before Christmas, even Adam who was sprinkled with water would have frozen, but when I think that Mei would have spent many minutes succumbing to the flooded ground and searching for petals would have frozen even more, my inner corner of the eye gets hot. The climax was “I don't need anything anymore, so help Adam,” Mei's cry finally showed me that the preciousness and importance of love cannot be exchanged for property. However, I can't help but be concerned that the character's whole body and half body are written in a tight manner. I can see the part where I want them to stand straight.

  ストーリーはありがちだけど…
  Stories tend to be there, but...
  楽しく読めました。楠先生の躍動感があってキレイな絵で感情移入できました。お互いに好きだけどギリギリくっつかない感じが良かったです。私には、スーっと入って、ハッピーエンドでスッキリして終わって後味がいい感じでした?ただ心に残るかと言われるとそうでもない。

  I enjoyed reading it. I was able to empathize with Kusunoki-sensei's dynamic and beautiful pictures. It was nice to feel like they both liked each other but didn't stick together. I had a nice aftertaste that came in so quickly and ended refreshed with a happy ending? That's not the case when asked if it just sticks in their mind.
