  アラビアン・ロマンス2作目
  Second Arabian Romance
  This review contains spoilers. マリクとの賭けはどうなったの？キスしてるんだからジャマールが勝ってるよね。でもジャマールが「ハイジ可愛い」としか言わないからマリクはキーッとなって…結局は有耶無耶になったってこと？「この賭けが後でハイジにバレてごたごたするんだな？」とワクワクしてたら、全然関係なく、前の妻が悪妻だったせいで勘違いしたジャマールが冷たくなる…っていう微妙な方向へ行っちゃって残念。ただハイジの仮装を知っても怒らなかったのと、身体を重ねてからはずっと優しかった＆ハイジ好みの結婚式をやり直してくれたから好感度は上がりました。政略結婚や契約結婚で花嫁が暗い顔をしてるのはHQあるあるだけど、本当の夫婦になれたとき、本物の結婚式をしてくれるヒーローはやっぱり素敵。

  This review contains spoilers. What happened to the bet with Malik? They're kissing, so Jamal is winning, isn't it? But since Jamal only said “Heidi is cute,” Malik got a key... does that mean he ended up being reckless? “Heidi finds out about this bet later and it's going to be a mess, right?” I was excited, and it didn't matter at all, and it was a pity that Jamal, who misunderstood her because her previous wife was a bad wife, went in the subtle direction of getting cold... However, the likability increased because they didn't get angry when they learned about Heidi's costume, and they were much kinder ever since they built up their bodies and redid Heidi's favorite wedding. There is HQ where the bride has a dark face due to political marriage or contract marriage, but when they become a real married couple, the hero who has a real wedding is still wonderful.

  六ッ星クラスの面白さ。話も絵もみんな好き
  The fun of the six-star class. Everyone likes stories and pictures
  タッチが可愛らしくて柔らかいので眼に優しい絵柄。ストーリーの展開力はもとより、人物たちのやり取りが軽快でウィットがあり、相互理解の不足のよる行き違いの積み重ねから生まれる悲喜こもごもの表現力が高い。このコメディの面白さは、四千強にも上る冊数(2017/6/4現在4,761冊)のHQにおける最高の部類の一冊に入ることと思う。５ツ星を何冊にもつけてきているが、この作品はそのなかでも上位かと。神坂智子先生の作品「蒼のマハラジャ」をどこか彷彿させるイントロ。違うんだけれども、場所もキャラも何もかも、なのになぜか思い出す。単なるドタバタでは終わらせないロマンチックさを充分たたえて、夫婦物でも片想いの切なさまで味あわせてくれる。特筆すべきはラスト二頁の誓いのシーン。この結婚はいい結婚だったと実感するし、彼の言葉が、HQお約束のプロポーズというのでない、本当の言葉のように、私も、静寂のなかで聞こえたような気がした。このラストだけでも、群を抜いていると、私には思えた。砂漠の国へ嫁ぐ設定はあまた有るが、このストーリーほど、コメディなのに、真面目な当人たちのシチュエイションに感じ入った作品はない。原作は読まないので解らないが、ストーリーテリングの巧みさ、画力、不自然さのない場面の繋ぎ、背景のそれっぽさ。民俗調に、小道具や全て全てがなかなかないレベルに揃ってビジュアルにも優れている。実に小気味良く楽しめてしまう。初夜シーンだけ、それを表現されるというのは、ターゲット読者層は微妙だと感じた。

  The pattern is cute and soft to the touch, so it's easy on the eyes. Not only is the story's ability to unfold, but the characters interact lightly and witty, and the sorrow and joy that are born from the accumulation of misunderstandings due to lack of mutual understanding have a high expressive power. I think the fun of this comedy is that it is one of the best books in the HQ category, with over 4,000 books (4,761 as of 2017/6/4). It has given 5 stars to many books, and I think this work ranks high among them. This intro is somewhat reminiscent of Kamisaka Tomoko's work “The Blue Maharaja.” It's different, but for some reason it reminds me of the location, characters, and everything. It fully praises the romanticism that doesn't end with simple slapstick, and makes even married couples enjoy the sadness of unrequited love. What is remarkable is the scene of the oath on the last two pages. I realized that this marriage was a good marriage, and I also felt that his words sounded like true words, not in HQ's promised proposal, in silence. It seemed to me that this last one alone was outstanding. There are plenty of settings where you get married to a desert country, but even though it's a comedy, there is no work that captures the serious situations of those people in question as much as this story. I don't read the original story, so I don't understand it, but the storytelling skill, drawing ability, connection of scenes without unnaturalness, and the background is like that. The visuals are excellent, with folkloric style, and all of the props and everything on a rare level. It's actually creepy and I enjoy it. I felt that the target audience was subtle because only the first night scene was expressed.
