  すごい引き込まれた
  I was so drawn in
  ものすごい吸引力で物語の世界に引き込まれて、あっという間に読めました。でもやっぱりモヤモヤは残るというか、本人たちは納得しているんだけれど、読後の切なさは半端なかったです。

  I was drawn into the world of the story with tremendous appeal, and I was able to read it in no time. But after all, the fuzzy mess will remain, and although the people themselves were convinced, there was no sense of sadness after reading it.

  落語の世界
  The world of rakugo
  実は全然落語に詳しくないのでこの漫画が初めて落語に触れたと言っても良いです。日本の伝統芸能って学校で習うことがないのでこんな暑い世界があるってもっとみんなに知ってもらうべきだと思いました。

  Actually, I'm not familiar with rakugo at all, so it's safe to say that this comic first came into contact with rakugo. I don't learn traditional Japanese performing arts at school, so I thought more people should know that there is such a hot world.

  すごい気迫
  Great energy
  This review contains spoilers. 落語というテーマ、そして途中から回想に変わって主人公が代わるなど、昨今の単純なテンプレストーリーが好まれる漫画界で、ここまで重厚に描けるのだと気迫すら感じました。NHKでドラマ化されたのも納得です。音が出ないマンガで落語という、聞くものをテーマにしているのもすごいですね。

  This review contains spoilers. The theme is rakugo, and in the comic world where simple template stories are favored these days, such as changing to reminiscence and the main character being replaced, I even felt that it was possible to draw in such a profound way. I'm also convinced that it was made into a drama on NHK. It's also amazing that it's a manga that doesn't make a sound and has a theme called rakugo, something you listen to.
