  目にも心にも響く極上のファンタジー
  A superb fantasy that resonates with both eyes and heart
  This review contains spoilers. 芸術的な絵画のようであり一編の詩のようでありその切ないストーリーに心の奥までぎゅう～っと掴まれました先生のおススメの順番どおり『鴆』の１巻の後こちらを読んで（こちらに、1巻を先に読まないとネタバレになる『鴆』の番外編が収録されてます）2巻に進みましたが、もうこの『極夜』のお話が刺さりにささってしまったので・・こちらを先に。以下ネタバレですツクヨミの忘却の奥底に天野への確かな愛がずっとあるのが切なくて泣いた・・覚えてなくとも永遠に消えることはないんだろうと…それに応えるように真相を秘めたままツクヨミのそばにいることを選んだ天野の想いもまたせつなくてあたたかくて。口にしないのは天野の優しさなのだろうと思えてずっとはらはらと涙が止まらなかった。上から煌々と照る光ではなく、ほわっと照らす間接照明のように柔らかく、でも決して消えないような愛がまさに月のようでじわじわと心に沁みました。行間を読ませるようなお話で、わかりやすく手放し万歳のハピエンではないけれど私には極上のハピエンに思えました。とても素敵だった。『鴆』の短編！かわいい・・弱ってるツァイホンの色っぽさとフェイのポンコツ感がたまらん。あんな有能な男がこんなに骨抜きになるとは・・・恐るべしツァイホン

  This review contains spoilers. It was like an artistic painting, like a poem, and I was gripped deep into my heart by that sad story. I read this after volume 1 of “” according to the order recommended by the teacher (an extra edition of “,” which is a spoiler if you don't read volume 1 first) and moved on to volume 2, but now this “Polar Night” story stuck in my head... this one first. The spoiler below is that there is always a definite love for Amano in the depths of Tsukuyomi's oblivion and I cried with sadness... I wonder if it won't disappear forever even if I don't remember... Amano's feelings, who chose to stay close to Tsukuyomi while hiding the truth in order to respond to that, were also sad and warm. I couldn't stop crying the whole time, wondering if it was Amano's kindness that she wouldn't talk about it. It's not a light shining brightly from above, but a love that is soft like indirect lighting that shines softly, yet never goes away, just like the moon, and slowly sinks into my heart. It was a story that made me read between the lines, and it seemed like the ultimate Happien to me, even though it wasn't a 10,000 year old Happien who let go of it in an easy-to-understand manner. It was so nice. A short story of “”! Cute... the sexiness of Tsai Hong, who is weak, and Fey's unruly feeling is irresistible. It's scary that such a capable man would be so watered down...

  美しい愛のファンタジー。
  A beautiful love fantasy.
  This review contains spoilers. タイトルの「極夜」だけ読みました。「鴆-ジェン-」の番外編は本編を読んでから読むつもりです。かなりネタばれしていると思います。人間が住む世界(現世)と人ならざるものが住む(常世)二つの世界がある設定。人ならざるものが訪れる現世の旅寓で働く天野。そこを訪れた常世の王、ツクヨミが行方不明の天野の幼馴染に似ていて…。ツクヨミは元々人間で人柱として常世を治めるために来たただ一人の人間ということに驚きました。そして天野が時を経て知ることになるあの日の真実とは。天野の誘いで海を見に外出したツクヨミは現世のことを少し思い出し、ツクヨミとなった真相を話す。しかしツクヨミは好きだった人を全く覚えていない。そして二人は…。掟を破って外に出たことで直ぐに常世の戻るツクヨミの後を追った天野。直ぐに現世に帰さなくてはと思うツクヨミを尻目に天野は常世に慣れ、常世でより親密になる二人。そして天野はツクヨミにあの時の幼馴染だとは告げす、別の方法で後々知らせる方法を取りました。愛する人のことを思い自らを犠牲にしたツクヨミのその思いを大切に今度はツクヨミに思いを返すと決めた天野。この天野の書いたツクヨミへの手紙をそのまま読んでみたい気持ちになりました。この-最後の手紙-のEndがとても好きです。あの時手を振り解いて離れ離れになった二人が再び手を取る幸せそうなEndでした。そして、もう一つのEndが-夢の浮橋-です。こちらは初出が同人誌と記載がありました。ツクヨミが見たのはあの頃の幸せそうな二人の夢。でも目覚めると思い出せない。しかしその隣には天野がいる。こちらのendも素敵でした。絵柄がファンタジーの世界観と良く合っていてとても美しくて素敵です。そしてファンタジーでありながら、人を愛することを真正面から描いていて感動しました。読んで良かったとても素敵な心に残る作品です。

  This review contains spoilers. I only read the title “Polar Night.” I plan to read the extra edition of “-Jen-” after reading the main story. I think it has been spoiled quite a bit. It is a setting where there are two worlds: a world inhabited by humans (this world) and a world where non-human beings live (eternal world). Amano works at this worldly travel home where non-human beings visit. Tsukuyomi, the king of Tokusei who visited there, is similar to Amano's childhood friend who went missing... I was surprised that Tsukuyomi was originally a human and is the only person who came to rule the world as a human pillar. And what is the truth of that day that Amano will learn over time. Tsukuyomi, who went out to see the ocean at Amano's invitation, remembers a little bit about this world and talks about the truth that became Tsukuyomi. However, Tsukuyomi doesn't remember the person she liked at all. and the two of them... By breaking the law and going outside, Amano immediately followed Tsukuyomi, who soon returned to the world. Looking back at Tsukuyomi, who thinks they have to return to this world soon, Amano gets used to the world, and they are two people who become closer in the everlasting world. Then, Amano told Tsukuyomi that she was her childhood friend at that time, and decided to let them know later by another method. Amano cherishes the feelings of Tsukuyomi, who sacrificed herself for her loved ones, and decided to return her thoughts to Tsukuyomi this time. It made me want to read Amano's letter to Tsukuyomi as it is. I really like the end of this - the last letter. It was a happy end where they waved their hands at that time and were separated, and took hands again. And the other end is - the floating bridge of dreams. There was a description that the first one appeared here as a doujinshi. What Tsukuyomi saw was a dream of two happy people back then. But when I woke up, I couldn't remember. However, Amano is next to it. This end was nice too. The pattern matches the fantasy world view and is very beautiful and wonderful. And even though it was a fantasy, I was moved by the fact that it depicts loving people head-on. It's a very wonderful and memorable work that I'm glad I read it.

  よかったです
  I'm glad
  表題作は切ない幼馴染モノでした。天野はいつかはツクヨミ交代するつもりでいるのかな。よく分からなかったけれど、少し悲しくなりました。

  The title work was A Sad Childhood Friend. I wonder if Amano plans to replace Tsukuyomi someday. I wasn't sure, but it made me a little sad.
