  素直なところが良い?
  is it good to be honest?
  この手の内容だと、もっとヒロインが自分に自信が無くてちょっと卑屈では？って感じだったり、ヒーローが冷たくあたったり、といった内容を想像してたけど、ヒーローもヒロインも、思ってたより素直に、明るく色々な事を受け止めてて、読んでて気持ち良かったです！単純に受け入れてるといのではなく、自分の責任をしっかり理解してる故だったり、今まで積み重ねていた生き方故にそこまで否定する必要は無いんだと理解した結果として、明るく受け入れてる様に感じられました。橋本先生は、明るくお話を描くのが本当に上手！！

  With this kind of content, isn't the heroine even less confident in herself and a bit humble? I was imagining content like that, and the hero hit me coldly, but both the hero and heroine were more straightforward and cheerful than I had anticipated, and it felt good to read it! It wasn't simply that I was accepting it; it was because I had a firm understanding of my responsibilities, and as a result of understanding that there was no need to deny it that much because of the way of life I had built up until now, I felt that I was accepting it cheerfully. Hashimoto-sensei is really good at drawing bright stories!!

  嫌な人が出てこない
  Disgusting people don't come out
  橋本多佳子さんの作品好きです。ヒーローがプレイボーイということで話がこじれるかと思いましたが、素敵な男性でした。上司でもある彼とプライベートでも仲良くなってしまい、家族の秘密が隠せなくなっていく…結果的にハッピーエンドです。こういう時の、子供ってすごく従順だけど、本当はどういう感情になってしまうんだろうと想像してしまいます。

  I like Takako Hashimoto's work. I thought the story would be mixed up because the hero was Playboy, but he was a wonderful man. I became good friends with him, who is also my boss, even in private, and I can't hide my family secrets... as a result, it's a happy ending. At times like this, children are very obedient, but I can imagine what kind of feelings they actually end up with.

  僕を愛してほしい、の台詞のシーンがいい！
  I like the scene with the line I Want You to Love Me!
  比較的簡単に描きあげてしまったいつも通りのHQのストーリー、という感じがしてしまった。橋本先生の作品に登場する男性はとても魅力的だが、脚の絵で今回頼りない線を見つけ、百年の恋も覚めかかった。全体として短期で仕上げたかのような感触。たださすがプレイボーイ設定は、男性が自分の魅力に自信があることから、落とそうと狙いをつけて迫るグイ感がたまりません。なかなか陥落しないヒロインの踏みとどまりも良かった。真実が明るみになったあとの、彼のヒロインへの対応も大人で。ただその辺りから、感情よりも客観説明みたいな進行の仕方に、趣向が変わった様に思える。欲しかったのは彼が知った後の違い、そして、ヒロインの心の中。ストーリーの骨格そのものはありふれてるだけに、その辺を、私はもっとエモーショナルな部分で味わいたかった。だから、なんとなく共感度が高まらなかった。王国の話もどこか嘘臭さ(HQの王国物はいずれも嘘だから、そこにある程度は欲しいまことしやかさ)が強く、ちゃんと中に入り込みたかった。統治者的な部分も、より感じ取りたかった。安定の作品、危なげなく仕上げて来ていて損した感無いが、といって、お得だとまではー。表情豊かなキャラには動きがあって、設定自体はよくある設定でもその中での人物が生き生きしているのは、橋本先生の力量が確かだから。この後星合先生の手による「カリアキスの秘密の跡継ぎ」を読んだが、ちょっと趣向が似通っていて、二者二様の王子物なので読み比べると面白い。与えられた役目を模範的に頑張ったのがあちらなら、こちらは、飛び出して居直ったようにレースで暴れてきたやんちゃ。どちらともそれぞれのキャラに合う作風を持つ先生が担当する格好になり、対照的な二人を描けていて楽しい。

  I felt like it was a HQ story as usual, which was relatively easy to draw. The man who appears in Hashimoto-sensei's work is very attractive, but this time he found an unreliable line in a picture of his leg, and he almost woke up to a hundred years of love. Overall, it feels like it was finished in a short time. However, as expected, in the Playboy setting, men have confidence in their own attractiveness, so the feeling of aiming and approaching them in an attempt to drop them is irresistible. It was also nice that the heroine, who doesn't fall easily, stepped on and stayed. After the truth came to light, his response to the heroine was also an adult. However, from that point on, it seems that my tastes changed to a way of proceeding, which is more like explaining objectively rather than emotions. What I wanted was the difference after he knew it, and the heroine's heart. The backbone of the story itself is common, so I wanted to enjoy that part in a more emotional way. So, somehow, empathy didn't increase. The story of the Kingdom also had a strong sense of falsehood (all of HQ's Kingdom stuff is a lie, so there is a certain amount of desired sincerity and suppleness), and I wanted to get inside properly. I also wanted to get a better sense of the ruler-like part. It's a stable work, finished without danger, and I don't feel like I've lost it, until it's a good deal... The expressive characters have movement, and the reason why the characters in the setting itself are lively even in a common setting is because Hashimoto sensei's ability is certain. I later read “The Secret Heir of Kariakis” by Hoshiai-sensei, but the tastes are a bit similar, and the two are prince's works, so it's interesting to read and compare them. If that was the one who worked hard as an example for the role they were given, this one would have jumped out and gone wild in the race as if they were back on their feet. Both look like teachers with styles suited to each character are in charge, and it's fun to be able to draw two contrasting people.
