  蓋が開いて、猫が箱の中にいたから…
  Because the lid opened and the cat was inside the box...
  This review contains spoilers. 悩んで悩んで答えにたどりつくまでの長いまわり道。しっかり者の小学生と、その彼にバカ呼ばわりされちゃうちょっと気弱な高校生。出会ったときは恋かどうかなんてわからない。お見舞いに給食のプリンを持ってきてくれたノブ、バカだなって笑い飛ばしてくれるノブ、もう全然かなわないんだなぁって和雄が気づいたときにようやく腕の中。ノブ、漢だわ！

  This review contains spoilers. It's a long detour from worrying and worrying until we arrive at an answer. An elementary school student who is strong, and a high school student who is a bit timid when he calls him stupid. When we met, I didn't know if I was in love or not. Nobu, who brought me school lunch pudding to pay his respects, and Nobu, who laughed at me because he was stupid, was finally in his arms when he realized that it wasn't at all right anymore. Nobu is Han!

  This review contains spoilers. 作者さん買いです。主人公の和雄（高校生）が捨て猫を通じて知り合った小学生のノブ君を好きになってしまい葛藤するお話。和雄（受）は高校の先輩と付き合ったりノブ君が引っ越して離れ離れの間に彼女がいたりするので、とにかく一途じゃなきゃ嫌だって人には向きません。それぞれの行動や和雄の葛藤がリアルで読ませます。とは言え作中で先輩やノブ君にも言われてますが和雄がアホ可愛いので変な重さはなく楽しめます。雁先生のお話は道端にひっそり咲いている小さな花のようなこじんまりとしたハピエンで、でもだからこそ可愛らしく愛しく温かみががあって心に沁み入ります。これぞハピエン！の夢物語的なお話も好きですが本作のように地に足がついたハピエンはたまりません。欲を言えばやっと2人の気持ちが通じ合ってこれからってところで終わってしまってるので、この先の2人をもう少し見たかった。かなり昔の作品なので難しいとは思いますがどこかの作品に数ページものの番外編を入れていただけたら…と願ってみます。楽しい作品をありがとうございました。

  This review contains spoilers. The author is buying it. This is a story where the main character, Kazuo (high school student), falls in love with Nobu, an elementary school student he met through an abandoned cat, and is in conflict. Kazuo (Suke) goes out with his high school seniors and has a girlfriend while Nobu moved away, so it's not suitable for people who don't like it unless they go all the way. I can read each action and Kazuo's conflict in real life. That said, as Senpai and Nobu said in the story, Kazuo is so cute that he doesn't have a strange weight and you can enjoy it. Mr. Kari's story is a small happy person that looks like a small flower blooming quietly by the roadside, but that's why it's cute, lovely, and warm, and sinks into my heart. This is Happien! I also like dreamy stories, but Happien, which is down to earth like this one, is irresistible. Speaking of greed, their feelings finally came through, and it ended at the moment, so I wanted to see a little more of the two people in the future. It's a work from quite a long time ago, so I think it would be difficult, but I hope you could include a few pages of extra pages in some work... Thank you so much for the fun work.

  先輩が好き。
  I like my seniors.
  This review contains spoilers. 軽い気持ちで読み始めたら、なんだかすっごく引き込まれて、2連続で読みました！流されまくる主人公と、虎視眈々と近付いていくハンサムな先輩のやりとりが好きだな。北原君も笑顔が可愛くて、時たま小学生とは思えないかっこ良さ出してきて、あれは惚れるの分かる(笑)友人マイケルも優しく和雄を受け入れてて、いい味出してたな～！直接的なエロ描写はほぼないけど、どこ触ってるのかな？何してるのかな？とか妄想を掻き立てられました(笑)作者さんの他の作品も見たいと思います！

  This review contains spoilers. When I started reading it with a light feeling, I was somehow really drawn in, and I read it 2 times in a row! I love the interaction between the main character who is swept away and the handsome senior who quickly approaches him. Kitahara-kun also had a cute smile, and sometimes he came out so cool that you wouldn't think he was an elementary school student, and I know that would fall in love (lol) my friend Michael also kindly accepted Kazuo, and he had a great taste! There are almost no direct erotic depictions, but where are they touching? What are they doing? It stirred up my delusions (lol) I'd like to see the author's other works too!
