  美しい
  beautiful
  This review contains spoilers. 私の幼い頃からこんなにも美しい物語があったなんて、素敵です。中学生の頃にこの物語に出会いましたが、その頃は思春期なのもあり？？複雑な恋愛模様に納得がいかず、すぐに読むのをやめてしまいました。20歳頃にまた出会う機会があり、その時は気持ちがキュンとなったりドキドキしたり、ぎゅっと苦しくなったりさまざまな感情が忙しくなって、とても魅力的な物語だと思い、何度も何度も読みました。久しぶりに読んで、美しい物語だなぁッとしみじみ思いました。こんな複雑な恋愛は辛いけれど、恋をして、人を愛しく思う気持ちが大切だという事が伝わってきました。

  This review contains spoilers. It's wonderful that there have been such a beautiful story since I was a child. I came across this story when I was in middle school, and I was also an adolescent around that time?? I wasn't satisfied with the complicated love pattern, so I stopped reading it right away. I had the opportunity to meet again when I was around 20 years old, and at that time I was busy with various emotions, such as feeling excited, and very painful, and I thought it was a very fascinating story, so I read it over and over again. I haven't read it in a long time, and I really thought it was a beautiful story. It has been conveyed that such a complicated relationship is painful, but it is important to be in love and feel loved by others.

  壮大にして
  Make it grand
  これは単なる恋愛だけの物語ではありませんよね。原作はあまりに有名な物語。長編であると共に千年の時を経てなお時々に訳され注釈書やら研究書、果ては又その中味にちなんだ文化もずっと綿々と。そんな原作に対しても大和和紀氏らしさを上手く融合させているところが心憎いばかり

  This isn't just a love story, is it? The original story is too famous. Along with being a long story, it has been translated from time to time even after a thousand years, and commentaries, research books, and even the culture associated with it has always been thorough. I just hate the fact that Yamato Kazunori's uniqueness is successfully fused against such an original story

  宇治十帖が好き
  I like Uji Jujo
  教科書や試験に登場した源氏物語。この漫画で詳細を初めて知ったが、延々と高貴なイケメンが様々なオンナと恋愛してる話で驚いたｗ平安時代のERO本？？紫式部は「お堅い真面目な人物」説なのに、R指定の個人発行同人誌みたいなモノ書いてたのかｗ登場人物が多い作品だが、終盤の宇治十帖の美人三姉妹の末っ子・浮舟が一番記憶に残った。原作というか、この宇治十帖で唐突に物語が終わったのって、実は宇治十帖あたりは　もう紫式部は執筆していないのでは？別人が代筆したのでは？と思った。

  The Tale of Genji appeared in textbooks and exams. I first learned the details in this comic, but I was surprised by the story of endlessly noble handsome men falling in love with various women lol Heian period Ero book?? Even though Murasaki Shikibu is a “tough and serious person,” it's a work with many characters, probably written something like an R-designated privately published doujinshi, but Ukifune, the youngest son of the three beautiful sisters in Uji Jujo at the end, remained in my memory the most. The original story, or rather, the story suddenly ended in Uji Jujo, but in fact, Uji Jujo didn't write Murasaki Shikibu anymore, right? Maybe someone else wrote it on his behalf? I thought.
