  ヒロインを愛する彼が素敵過ぎる
  The guy who loves the heroine is too nice
  頁数が少ないのかと思う。読み始めたと思ったらもう最後の頁。脂の乗ってる人気作家の数本の連載を抱えているような雑誌だったら、一冊で何本も楽しめて、その上クオリティの悪くない読み切りまで入って、という30年以上昔の感覚でいったら、もうこれは、勿体ない提供方法。作品には一切不満はないが、ただただHQの値段の高さに腹が立ってくる(読者を怖じ気づかせ獲得し損なってるだろう)。ストーリー展開は、勘所を押さえた手際の良さが光る、綺麗な話。人物はメイン二人がとても美しい。麻生先生の描かれるキラキラのセレブ感、王族のプライドや、お育ちの良さから滲むキャラの軽薄でない高潔感。お約束通りのストーリー。それを眺めて楽しむ居心地の良い作品。休日のゆっくりとした時間に、少しの心のエネルギーを補填出来る丁度良い読後感。価格の高さだけが残念。このような作品が三作ひとまとめにで一冊に編集して現行価格というぐらいが、自分の中では適正な価格水準。頁数と価格を決めるのは、編集・出版サイドの話だろう。私が読み始めて二度値上げがあったと思うが、読者層をアテにした安易な値上げで、割高感はどこかの国の燃料税問題のように一触即発の領域だ。このサイズの作品単独なら300円(300p)以下でいいと思う。こういう肩の凝らないキュートなロマンスが好きなので、もうわかっているのに何回も頁を手繰ってフワリと気分を軽くさせている。「君はそのままでいいんだ」「彼女と赤ん坊が無事なら僕はもう一生何も望まない」読むたび、この台詞を言うチャールズの頁に来ると頁をめくる手がスローベースになり、その現場の空気感を想像して吸い込んでいる。

  I think the number of pages is small. When I think I've started reading it, it's already the last page. If it's a magazine that has several serials by popular authors with fat on it, it feels like it's over 30 years ago, where you can enjoy many books in one book, and on top of that, it's a useless way to provide it. I'm not dissatisfied with the work at all, but I'm simply infuriated by the high price of HQ (it probably scared readers and lost their acquisition). The story development is a beautiful story that shines through the ingenuity of holding down key points. The two main characters are very beautiful. The sparkling sense of celebrity depicted by Aso sensei, the pride of the royal family, and the unfrivolous sense of nobility of the characters exudes from their good upbringing. The story is just as promised. A cozy work that you can enjoy looking at. It's just the right feeling after reading to be able to fill up a little bit of mental energy during a relaxing time on the holidays. The only thing that's disappointing is the high price. Three works like this are edited into one book at a time and the current price is an appropriate price level for me. It is probably up to the editing/publishing side to decide the number of pages and prices. I think there have been two price increases since I started reading it, but it was an easy price increase that affected the readers' base, and the sense of high price was an immediate area like a fuel tax issue in some country. For a work of this size alone, I think 300 yen (300p) or less would be fine. I like this kind of cute romance without stiff shoulders, so even though I already know it, I turn the pages over and over again to make me feel refreshed and lightened. Every time I read “You can leave it as is” and “If she and the baby are safe, I don't want anything for the rest of my life,” when I come to Charles's page saying this line, my hand turning the page becomes a slow bass, and I imagine the atmosphere of the scene and inhale it.

  正反対の双子
  Diametrically opposite twins
  兄のしたことの償いとか有利性とか言うからややこしくなった二人。結婚を急がず手を差し伸べて少しずつ距離を縮める作戦は思い浮かばなかったのだろうか? それにしても人として最低の王様だし、ヒロインの国も最悪の王妃だし、どちらの国も国民が気の毒? 優しく毅然としたヒロインと人格的に素敵なヒーローの方がふさわしいのに?

  They are a bit confused because they say things like compensation for what their older brother did or advantage. I wonder if a strategy to shorten the distance little by little by little by reaching out without rushing to get married didn't come to mind? Even so, he's the worst king as a person, and the heroine country is also the worst queen, so do both countries feel sorry for their citizens? Wouldn't a gentle and resolute heroine and a hero with a wonderful personality be more appropriate?

  切ない
  It's sad
  最後はハッピーエンド。 でも切なくて、読んでいて少し涙がこぼれました。

  The end was a happy ending. But I was sad, and I shed a little bit of tears as I read it.
