  詩的な描写が美しい
  The poetic description is beautiful
  This review contains spoilers. 山口つばさ先生作画の青年漫画。諸々含めて166ページ。原作は新海誠氏の短編アニメーション。猫の目を通して彼女を見つめ、その孤独に少し触れる。空気の詰まりと雨の湿度を感じながら、彼女と彼女の猫との一年を眺める。一生懸命に生きる彼女の姿は、きっとどこかで読み手と重なる。アニメーションと違うのは、友人や同僚、母親とのことがもう少し詳しく加わること。より痛みの描写が強く、救いの場面も用意されている。どちらもそれぞれ、素晴らしい。

  This review contains spoilers. A comic about young people drawn by Yamaguchi Tsubasa. 166 pages, including various. The original is a short animation by Makoto Shinkai. I stare at her through the cat's eyes and touch her a little bit of loneliness. While feeling the congestion of the air and the humidity of the rain, I watch the year with her and her cat. The image of her working so hard will surely overlap with readers somewhere. What's different from the animation is that friends, colleagues, and mother are added in a little more detail. The depiction of pain is stronger, and scenes of salvation have also been prepared. Both are wonderful.

  しみじみ。
  It's very familiar.
  ブルーピリオドを読んでから絵への接し方が明らかに変わって来ているのが自分でもわかる。「主役から四隅へ」…このワクワク感が頁をめくる度に襲って来る。最近「一度きりの大泉の話」を読んだばかりで、原作と作画の関係性も興味深かった。普段なら珈琲だけど、今日はハーブティーと言うタイミングで、又再読したい。

  I can see for myself that the way I interact with pictures has clearly changed since I read Blue Period. “From the protagonist to the four corners”... this sense of excitement strikes me every time I turn the page. I just read “Once Upon a Time, the Tale of Oizumi,” and the relationship between the original story and the animation was also interesting. It's usually coffee, but today I want to read it again when I say herbal tea.

  きれい
  beautiful
  新海さんも山口さんも好きな人なので、嬉しいです読むのは2回目なのですが、新鮮な気持ちで読めました‪wチョビが喋れたら素敵なのに…映画自体がすべてを物語ってくれる内容ではなかったので、当然漫画もそうなのですが、読者によって解釈はそれぞれ違うんだろうなあって思いながら読んでました

  Both Shinkai-san and Yamaguchi-san are people I like, so I'm happy. It's my second time reading it, and I was able to read it with a fresh feeling, and it would be wonderful if w Chobi spoke... the movie itself didn't tell the whole story, so of course comics are the same, but I read them while thinking that the interpretations are different depending on the reader
