  尊敬されたい↔認めて欲しい
  I want to be respected ↔ I want recognition
  敵も物騒さも読み進めるとあれこれと展開のうちに散りばめられている。その中で、幼馴染みのような二人の関係がどうなっていくのか、興味をうまく繋ぎながら、大人数の登場人物が手際よく出入りして自然。押さえつけるように決め事をし、自分のやりたいことを自由にやらせてくれない伯爵は、ヒロインにとり、親でもないのに横暴で偉そうにしか見えないだろう。19歳には苦痛なのはよく分かる。その年頃はそれは自然だ。女性として異性を惹き付けるようになったことにまだ不注意。安全のための忠告を、うるさいと感じるのは、成長期にいるから≒未熟)でもあり、否定されていると感じるのは、信頼関係が確固としていない(≒尊敬も素直もない、この場合は甘えなどからではなく)でもあるだろう。しかし、彼が心の中に小さくないポジションを占めていることに、この一冊かけてヒロインは漸くはっきり気づくのだった。現代も女性には制約がまだ多いが、古い時代の窮屈さをこうした時代物のストーリーで見つけると、女には女の大変さがいつもつきまとうものだなと思う。言うことをきかせたい、支配下に置いておきたい、敬意が欲しい、そのくせ性的対象としての視線をぶつける、男性というもののいやらしい側面を、年頃の女の子目線でそれとなく触れていて、彼女の反発はよく分かる。彼視点が混ざるため、彼の胸中を並行的に考えてやれる読み手は、ヒロインの、彼は何様のつもりかという、何だか気にくわない存在め、という感情への全面的共感を、作者が意図的に妨げてしまって、読者層の若めの方にも目配りされた構成。何者かの企みが、正体をはっきりさせずにチラチラと未遂の形で断片を見せて、それを、彼のヒロインへの気持ちを試す材料にする展開なのも技巧的。ストーリーのその面白さに、読み進めるのが楽しい。上流家庭の雰囲気とか館や外の雰囲気もよく出ていて、こういうストーリーに合った漫画家だな、と、視覚的にも満足度高い。乗馬服の25頁のレイン伯爵は良かった。100ページのキスシーンは萌え足りなかった。追記)二巻目の44頁まで読んでやっと気づいた。「消えた子爵夫人」の姉妹ストーリーだということを。名前と顔を見て急いで原作者名と作品確認し、「失踪事件」が扱われて、互いのストーリー進行に深く絡んでいないながら、キャラに好意的な知り合いというのも、おまけの一興のようで気に入った。

  As you read on, enemies and noise are scattered all over the place. Among them, it is natural for a large number of characters to move in and out with ease while successfully connecting their interests as to how the relationship between the two, who are like childhood friends, will unfold. The count, who makes decisions to hold him back and doesn't let him do whatever he wants freely, will only seem tyrannical and bossy to the heroine even though she isn't a parent. I understand how painful it is to be 19 years old. That's natural at that age. I'm still careless about the fact that I've come to attract the opposite sex as a woman. The reason I feel that safety advice is loud is probably because I'm growing up (immature), and feeling denied is probably also because the relationship of trust is not firm (there is no respect or honesty; in this case, it's not because they are spoiled, etc.). However, after spending this one book, the heroine finally clearly realized that he occupied a position not small in her heart. There are still many restrictions on women today, but when you find the tightness of the old days in these period stories, I think women always have difficulties associated with women. Her backlash is well understood from the perspective of a girl around her age, who wants to be heard, who wants to be respected, and the nasty side of men who clash with their gaze as sexual objects. Since his point of view is mixed, the reader who can think about his heart in parallel is structured so that the author intentionally interferes with the heroine's total sympathy for the heroine's feelings of what kind of person he intends to be, someone he doesn't like, and the younger members of the reader base are also watched. It is also ingenious that someone's plot shows fragments in the form of a flickering attempt without clarifying his true identity, and using it as material to test his feelings for the heroine. The interesting nature of the story makes it fun to read on. The atmosphere of an upscale family and the atmosphere of the house and outside are also often displayed, and the manga artist fits this kind of story, so there is a high level of visual satisfaction. Earl Rain in his 25-page horse riding suit was nice. The kiss scene on page 100 wasn't exciting enough. (Additional note) After reading up to page 44 of the second volume, I finally realized it. I mean it's a sister story of “The Disappearing Viscountess.” Looking at the name and face, I quickly confirmed the name of the original author and the work, and I liked the fact that the “disappearance case” was handled, and even though they were not deeply involved in each other's story progress, they were familiar with the characters, which seemed like a bonus.

  まだまだネンネのレベッカ。
  There's still more to it, Rebecca.
  ドラムとレベッカとの間には信頼関係の基盤が成立していることで恋愛に発展しにくい状態にあるところを、レベッカの全裸にトキメイチャッタドラムの恋慕から目覚めていくレベッカの恋心が振り子のようにゆっくりと進められているのが読み手の心を震わせます。ドラムが撃たれてしまったのを目撃したレベッカの変化に期待。

  Where a foundation of trust has been established between Drums and Rebecca, it is difficult to develop into a romance, and the fact that Rebecca's love affair, which wakes up from her love affair with Tokimei ChattaDrums, is slowly progressing like a pendulum while completely naked, making the reader's heart tremble. I'm looking forward to the change from Rebecca, who witnessed her drum being shot.

  王道✨
  Royal road ✨
  これぞ、ﾊｰﾚｸｲﾝ?? (英洋子さんの絵柄も?)昔、男の子のように接して過ごした｢ちびちゃん｣。7年振りに再会すると、人目をひく美女に✨ﾄﾞﾗﾑ(男性主人公)も再会前のあるｼｰﾝを?垣間見て惹かれます?誤解あり、嫉妬あり、妨害あり…→ﾊｯﾋﾟｰｴﾝﾄﾞへ?ｽﾄｰﾘｰと絵柄には文句なしに大満足ですが、段々と高くなるﾎﾟｲﾝﾄ(40→50→60P)にﾏｲﾅｽﾎﾟｲﾝﾄで。

  this is ballet?? (Yoko Hideko's design too?) Once upon a time, “Chibi-chan” treated her like a boy. When they meet again for the first time in 7 years, is there an eye-catching beauty ✨ Dara (male protagonist) also has a scene before they are reunited? Are you attracted to a glimpse? There are misunderstandings, there is jealousy, there is interference... → to the fun part? I'm very satisfied with the story and design without complaint, but the main point (40 → 50 → 60 P) is getting higher and higher.
