  どちらも好きです
  I like them both
  2in1だから、ちょっと薄い内容かなと思いましたが、それぞれ二人の気持ちにフォーカスしていて、よい仕上がりでした。

  Since it's a 2 in 1, I thought the content was a bit thin, but each focused on the feelings of the two of them, and the finish was good.

  2作とも穏やかなお話
  Both are peaceful stories
  This review contains spoilers. 「小さな約束」個人情報を晒す危険性を顧みず、今なら普通に考えつく方法で父親を探し出しました。「愛ゆえの誤解」ヒーローもヒロインもお互いに気を遣いすぎて逆効果になってました。

  This review contains spoilers. “Little Promise” I didn't think about the risk of disclosing personal information, and I searched for my father using a method I can think of normally now. “Misunderstanding Because of Love” both the hero and heroine cared too much about each other, which had the opposite effect.

  リビーの潔さが裏目。
  Libby's cleanliness backfired.
  「小さな約束」子供たちが無茶して行った父親探しが功を奏してハッピーエンドという物語。父親がほしい。素直に言葉にすると母リビーが傷ついてしまうことをサミーは分かっている。だから言えなかったが、入院してしまった母の傍にパパがいればと素直な気持ちが起こした行動。健気でかわいい。喧嘩して家出した恋人サムを2週間部屋で待ち続けたリビーが悲しい。どんな２週間だったか想像するに胸が痛む。でも、２週間という設定に根拠が無くて疑問。そこに例えばアパートの更新時期が重なって住んでいられなくなったとかの理由をつけて、ただ終ったのだじゃなく踏ん切りをつける背景があればもっと納得できると感じる。また、サムのこれまでも描いてほしい。リビーを失ったことの苦悩や罪悪感を言葉だけではなくて描いてほしかった。「愛ゆえの誤解」言葉少ななドルーにどう接すればいいのかわからないジョリー。正直に言ってこの物語は傍に居る男性に頼ったというご都合的物語に感じる。ドルーの感情表現が苦手なのには義弟の存在がコンプレックスになっている。義弟の方が愛される存在と考えているのだろう。可愛くて素敵な女性ジョリーも義弟の方がいいに決まってるというすねた子供のようだ。ジョリーにしてみてもダリアンとドルーとの比較で、遊ぶならダリアン、結婚するならドルーといった結論をしたように読める。自分が１８歳の少女だったからダリアンが好きだったが、大人になって子供が出来てみればドルーよねみたいな。リアリスティックでロマンチックじゃない。

  “Little Promise” is a story where the children's reckless search for their father paid off and ended happily. I want a father. Sammy knows that her mother Libby will be hurt if you put it into honest words. That's why I couldn't say it, but it was an act that caused an honest feeling that my dad was next to my mother who had been hospitalized. She's healthy and cute. Libby is sad because she kept waiting in her room for 2 weeks for her lover Sam, who got into a fight and ran away from home. My heart aches to imagine what two weeks have been like. However, there is no basis for setting 2 weeks, so I doubt it. I feel that it would be even more convincing if there was a background where, for example, the renewal period of the apartment overlapped and they were unable to live there, and made a breakthrough rather than just finished. Also, I want you to draw Sam's past. I wanted them to depict the pain and guilt of losing Libby not only in words. “Misunderstanding due to love” Jolie doesn't know how to deal with Drew, who has few words. To be honest, I feel like this story is a convenient story where I relied on a man who was by my side. The fact that Drew isn't good at expressing emotions is complicated by the presence of a brother-in-law. They probably think their brother-in-law is loved. Jolie, a cute and wonderful woman, also seems like a shy kid who is determined to have a better brother-in-law. Even if you look at it as Jolly, it's a comparison between Darian and Drew, and it can be read as if they concluded that if you play, Darian, Drew if you get married. I liked Darian since I was an 18-year-old girl, but when I became an adult and had children, I'd be like Drew. It's realistic and not romantic.
