  何度も読みなおしちゃう
  I'm going to reread it over and over
  独特の雰囲気が好きです。他の作品も心理描写が多いですが、そんななか今作品は美術科の学生らしく⁉印象深いものとなっています。エッチは本番がスルーで、朝チュンです。別のシーンでは手でするのがあったのに何故!と思いましたがエッチがないおかげでラストが引き立つのでしょう。その雰囲気が好きで何度も読んでしまいます。

  I like the unique atmosphere. There are many psychological depictions in other works, but in the midst of that, this work looks like an art student ⁉ is impressive. The actual sex is through, and it's fun in the morning. There was something I could do with my hands in another scene, but why! I thought, but thanks to the lack of sex, the last one will probably stand out. I love that atmosphere and I read it over and over again.

  印象的で奥深い、絵画のような作品。
  Impressive and profound, painting-like work.
  162ページ、1冊表題作（おまけなし、泣）。良かった、、、お話の作画のように、意味深で余韻の強い読後感。小説や映画みたいというよりは、見る人によって受けるもの・解釈が違う絵画のような、奥行きのある印象的な作品でした。作画も作品によって違うんですね。ほかの作品ではギャグなあほ顔やちび絵も多いお話もあるのに、こちらはギャグ絵はまったくなく、白黒で乾いた雰囲気の作画。お話にわかりにくい部分もあり、2人の仲も、いかにもBLのようにはっきりとしたラストではないので、好みは分かれると思います。腐向けよりは、腐萌えしない読者にオススメできるBL作品、て感じでした。恋愛を期待する読み手としてはこの先の話まで欲しいラストで物足りなくはあるんですが、これはこれで余韻が強く、1冊の作品としてまとまりがある気もする。BLとしては星4と迷うんですが、BL抜きにしてあまりない作風で雰囲気と印象が良かったので、あえて星5で。

  162 pages, 1 book title work (no bonus, crying). Good... a meaningful and lingering feeling after reading, like drawing a story. Rather than being like a novel or movie, it was a deep and impressive work, like a painting with different receptions and interpretations depending on the viewer. The drawing also differs depending on the work. There are many stories with gag faces and little pictures in other works, but there are no gag pictures at all, and the drawing has a dry black and white atmosphere. There are also parts of the story that are hard to understand, and the relationship between the two isn't the last one as clear as BL, so I think their tastes will be divided. Rather than being aimed at corruption, I felt like it was a BL work that I could recommend to readers who aren't rotten. As a reader expecting romance, the last one I want until the end of the story is unsatisfactory, but this one has a strong afterglow, and I also feel that it is cohesive as a single book. As for BL, I'm at a loss with 4 stars, but the atmosphere and impression were good because the style wasn't very good without BL, so I dared to go for 5 stars.

  ふむ
  Hmm
  評価の割には意外と良かった。終わりかたとかもっとバックグラウンドがあっただろうに描き足りなかった感があるのでその部分で減点されてるみたい。でも面白かった。黒須の不良だった過去？をもっと描いてほしかったな。強すぎだろ！っていうね。題名の『嘘』がなんなのかいまいちわからなかった。そんな部分が描ききれてないかな、ってところだけど読み応えあるし損はなかった、オススメ。やっぱり足りない部分で星4だけど、そんなんで減点されてるのも勿体ないので(笑)オマケ。続きがほしいかも。

  It was surprisingly good for the evaluation. There must have been more background, such as how it ended, but there is a feeling that I didn't draw enough, so it seems like points were deducted for that part. But it was interesting. Kurosu's bad past? I wish they had drawn more. that's too strong isn't it! I mean. I didn't really understand what the title “Lie” was about. I wonder if that part was completely drawn, but it was a good read and didn't hurt, so I recommend it. After all, it's 4 stars for the missing part, but it's a shame that points were deducted like that (laughs), that's a bonus. Maybe you want to continue.
