  This review contains spoilers. 近未来？SFです。独特の世界観が面白かったです。でもなかなか難しいですね。アニメもあるそうなのでアニメもみてみたいと思います。

  This review contains spoilers. the near future? It's science fiction. The unique view of the world was interesting. But it's quite difficult. There also seems to be anime, so I'd like to watch anime as well.

  弐瓶作品入門編
  Introduction to Nihei's works
  ダークファンタジー系と言うのか、独特の世界観です。ただ、作者の作品は概ねもっと濃い設定というか空気感で、大事そうな要素の説明もあまりないまま話が進み難解この上ないことが多いことを考えたら入門編と言ってもいいくらい説明が入って分かりやすい作品です。それでも謎に満ち満ちたストーリーですが。後半からちょっと変な性癖植えつけられそうになりますがその辺乗り越えて最後まで読んでいただけたら熱い展開が待ち受けています。是非最後まで読んで欲しい。アニメも最後、劇場版で完結まで辿り着きました。そちらも是非！

  It's a unique view of the world, probably from a dark fantasy series. However, the author's works generally have a darker setting, or rather atmosphere, and the story progresses without much explanation of the elements that seem important, and it is an easy-to-understand work with explanations so much that it can be said that it is an introductory edition. Still, it's a story full of mysteries. It seems that a slightly strange proclivity will be instilled in the second half, but if you overcome that area and read it until the end, a passionate development awaits. I definitely want you to read it to the end. At the end of the day, the anime also reached completion with a theatrical version. Be sure to check that out too!

  アニメ推しが多いみたいですが原作がいい
  It seems like there are a lot of anime recommendations, but the original one is good
  つむぎが可愛すぎて悶絶。いろいろあるけど（すみません、ほんとに色々あるんですよあるんですが）、これに尽きる。谷風がほぼダメ男なのに、つむぎにだけは最初から最後まで夢のイケメン。反則だよ！と、思いつつ、そのまま後半まで突き進む（すみません、他にもほんとに色々あるんです、あるんですが）。シドニアを読んでからキノコに妙な愛情を持つようになる（「私キノコトランプ持ってるんですよ❤」にキュンとし、そして最終巻のキノコカーテンに号泣する）。深いジェンダー意識と生死や有機物無機物を包括した世界観、建築物の美、あと学園物的ほのぼの感。テレビアニメも映画も観たけど、原作でそんなこんなを、しみじみ堪能できます。弐瓶勉作品の中ではかなり読みやすい方なので、ここから弐瓶ワールドにどっぷり入っちゃって！

  Tsumugi is so cute that I'm in agony. There are a lot of things (sorry, there really are a lot of things), but that's all. Even though Tanikaze is almost a bad guy, only Tsumugi is a handsome man of dreams from beginning to end. That's a foul play! While thinking about it, I continued to push forward to the second half (sorry, there really are many others). After reading Sidonia, I began to have a strange love for mushrooms (“I have mushroom playing cards ❤,” and then cry at the mushroom curtain in the final volume). A deep sense of gender, a worldview that includes life and death, organic matter and inorganic matter, the beauty of buildings, and a heartwarming sense of academics. I've watched both the TV anime and the movie, and I can really enjoy this in the original story. It's pretty easy to read among Tsutomu Nihei's works, so I completely immersed myself in Nihei World from here on!
