  This review contains spoilers. このシリーズは本当に男性陣の変わり様が良い。兄弟そろって最初は無神経、悪党ではないんだけどヒロインを傷つけがち。それがつまり「血筋」なんでしょうね。でもヒロインへの愛に気付いてからは怒涛の変貌を見せて、計略結婚や契約結婚ものには欠かせない、「改めてプロポーズ」が見られて大満足です。そりゃガヴァネスも笑顔になるってもんですよ！計略結婚がバレてからの「これから全力で君を口説く」、愛を自覚してからの「僕の心は君の手の平の中、握りつぶすのも君しだい」って台詞がまたいい。

  This review contains spoilers. The change in the men's team is really good in this series. All siblings are insensitive at first, and although they aren't scoundrels, they tend to hurt the heroine. I guess that means “lineage.” But after I realized my love for the heroine, she showed a furious transformation, and I am very satisfied to be able to see “Propose Again,” which is essential for planned marriages and contract marriages. Well, it makes Governor smile too! The lines “I'm going to woo you with all my might” after the planned marriage was revealed, and “my heart is in the palm of your hand, and it's up to you to crush them” after realizing their love are also good.

  長男の結婚
  The eldest son's marriage
  三兄弟の結婚の話です。呪いを解く為に結婚するんですが、キチンと愛し合えて良かった。絵が綺麗でヒロインとヒーローが映えますね。

  It's a story about three brothers' marriage. I'm getting married to break the curse, and I'm glad I fell in love with Kichin. The picture is beautiful and the heroine and hero look great.

  これから全力で君をくどくから覚悟してくれ
  Be prepared for trouble with all your might from now on
  三部作で三兄弟それぞれの結婚話。こうした趣向のHQは、遺言だったり脅しだったり、身内からの何らかの働きかけから始まることが多い。手頃な企画として、兄弟を括るための方便が、ここは「呪い」。米国プロ野球でも、呪い、というのがあるが、どうも英語圏は日本人とやや異なるニュアンスらしい。もっとも、このガヴァネスの場合ほぼ同義かな。ガヴァネスの話が入れ子構造となっていて多分にHQ的なのだが、悲劇となっている。この三兄弟一族が「王族」並みの存在という設定。長男アレックスの立ち位置、役割等から形成されている彼のキャラが、本作における彼の言動を自他共に期待される様に振る舞わせる。よりやんちゃな弟達よりも、羽目を外せなくて、自分のエゴを退けて、感情を制御可能に。長としての責任感の鎧を、無意識に身につけてしまっていた。ストーリーに複雑なものがない所為かどうかわからないが、大きめコマで、一つ一つに意味に深さを持たせなくても進んでしまえる、どうもザックリ大作りの作品。だが、こと「ネックレスー心の真実」はビジュアルが素敵。小林先生の絵がさらりとして、ヒロインが一人相撲を自覚しながらも、そこまで強くクヨクヨうじうじせずエイッと判断して行動する潔さを映し出す。相手が悪い、自分は被害者、というありがちなドツボに「可哀想なヒロイン像」を配置していないのが、読後感を良くも悪くも軽くしている。「(おとぎ話のような物語にうっとりして)アレックス自身をちゃんと見ていた？ 私こそ本当に彼を愛してるの？」この自問自答が効いている。ちゃんと第六感が、彼は自分を何年も放置していた、秘書が迎えに来たことに対して、他の兄弟がごもっとも。愛を乞う心情を胸に納めながらも、冷静な自分が彼を突き放す。そこにヒステリックな反応というのはなく、過剰な怒りなど噴き出すこともない。彼に秘書のことも言いたいことは言っているし、直接秘書にも態度を明らかにしている。成人女性であるヒロインが母親に訣別をきっぱり宣言するも、「国は捨てない」など、自分の意思表示が主体的なのがいい。あっさりストーリーの割に、然るべき言動によって腹を括ったと言おうか、方向性が確かと言うべきか。自分を見せることで傷つけられることを彼は怖れたのだという。長男編は前菜よろしく相対的にこってり度は少。愛、名誉、真実を表す西語の紋章が格好いい。

  The marriage story of each of the three brothers in the trilogy. HQ with this kind of intention often begins with some kind of encouragement from relatives, such as wills or threats. As an affordable plan, it is convenient for bringing siblings together, and this is a “curse.” Even in American professional baseball, there is something called a curse, but apparently the English-speaking world has slightly different nuances from Japanese people. However, in this case of governance, it's probably almost the same. The story of governance has a nested structure, and it's probably HQ, but it's a tragedy. The setting is that this family of three brothers exists on par with the “royal family.” His character, formed from his eldest son Alex's standing position, role, etc., makes his words and actions in this work behave as expected of both himself and others. More than my naughty younger brothers, I can't lose my temper, throw off my ego, and control my emotions. I had unknowingly worn the armor of a sense of responsibility as a manager. I don't know if it's because there aren't any complicated things in the story, but it's a really big work with large frames, and you can progress without adding depth to the meaning one by one. However, the visuals of “Necklace-Truth of the Heart” are wonderful. Kobayashi-sensei's picture is empty, and it shows how clean the heroine is, while being aware of solo sumo wrestlers, she acts by making slow judgments without being that strong and fidgety. The fact that the “poor heroine image” is not placed at the point where the opponent is bad and I am the victim makes the feeling after reading it lighter, better or worse. “Did you watch Alex himself properly (fascinated by the fairytale-like story)? Am I the only one who really loves him?” This self-questioning is working. Right, his sixth sense is that he had left himself unattended for years, and his other siblings were amazed that his secretary came to pick him up. While he has the feeling of begging for love in his heart, his calm self throws him away. There was no hysterical reaction, and excessive anger did not erupt. I told him what I wanted to say about his secretary, and I also revealed my attitude directly to my secretary. Even though the heroine, who is an adult woman, once and for all declares her farewell to her mother, it is good that her own statements of intent, such as “not abandoning the country,” are dominant. In spite of the simple story, should I say that I was infuriated by appropriate words and actions, or should I say that the direction is certain? It is said that he was afraid of being hurt by showing himself. The eldest son's edition is just like appetizers and relatively less rich. The Western emblem representing love, honor, and truth is cool.
