  んー最高
  Hmm awesome
  This review contains spoilers. ヒューは本当にいい人ですね。一体どう育ったらこんな素直で優しい人になるの？素っ裸のグラサン姿でエープリルを無視しまくってたときは「遊び慣れた芸術家がウブな小娘にゲームを仕掛けてるんですね！ハイハイ」と思ったけど、全然違って驚きました。地味で取り柄がないと自分で思ってるエープリルの言葉は、性悪のマックスの耳には届かなかったけど、綺麗な心を持つヒューには届くんですね。見えなくなったことに絶望してても誰にも一度も八つ当たりしないヒューが少し人間離れしてるようにも思えて、もしかして盲目って話じたいが嘘なんじゃ…？などと疑ってしまった自分が恥ずかしい。エープリルの言葉に触発されて手術を受ける決意をしたヒューが、見えるようになっても変わらず、いや前にもましてエープリルにベタ惚れで可愛い。元婚約者やっぱり出てきましたねー！でも瞬殺されてて笑いました。そうそう、事故の後逃げたから、ではなく、そもそもタチの悪い女で、愛してさえいなかったことに気付いた。満点の答えでしたね！賑やかで幸せそうな結婚式の写真、未来までずっと変わらずお互いを美しいと語り合う夫婦、あーー久しぶりに心洗われるような甘くピュアなラブストーリーを見ました。最高でした～！

  This review contains spoilers. Hugh is a really nice guy. How on earth do you grow up to be such an honest and kind person? When I was ignoring April while wearing a naked glass, I thought, “An artist who is used to playing is setting up a game for a naive little girl! I thought, “Hi Hi,” but I was surprised that it was completely different. April's words, which she thinks are plain and have no merit, didn't reach the ears of the evil Max, but they reached Hugh, who has a clean heart. Hugh, who is hopeless about not being able to see but never hits anyone, seems a little distant from humans, and maybe they want to talk about being blind, but that's a lie...? I'm ashamed of myself for doubting things like that. Hugh, who was inspired by April's words and made up his mind to undergo surgery, doesn't change even when he can see him, and he's more adorable than before. My former fiancé came out after all! But he was killed in an instant and I laughed. Oh yeah, it wasn't because she ran away after the accident, but that she was a bad woman in the first place, and I didn't even love her. That was a perfect answer! I saw lively and happy wedding photos, a couple talking about each other as beautiful until the future, and a sweet and pure love story that washed my heart for the first time in a long time. That was awesome!

  表紙に惹かれて
  Attracted by the cover
  ワイルダーな金髪イケメンとキュートな女の子の表紙に興味が湧きました。彫刻家のヒーロー自身が彫刻のような肉体美でしたね。ストーリーも冒頭からハリーとヒューがそう言う関係かと思わせて…?ピュアで綺麗なラブストーリーで何度も読み返したくなる作品です。

  I'm interested in the cover of a wild blond handsome guy and a cute girl. The sculptor hero himself had physical beauty like a sculpture. The story also made me wonder from the beginning that Harry and Hugh had that kind of relationship...? It's a pure and beautiful love story that makes you want to read it over and over again.

  良かった！
  That was great!
  This review contains spoilers. ヒロインが子供っぽいと揶揄されていますが、むしろ子供だったからこそヒーローも砂の城を造る気になったのでしょう。簡単にできるものはすぐに壊れるけど、芸術家の本能を呼び起こすには良いきっかけでした。一緒に住んでる彼のつぶらな瞳とカラー絵の裸体は眼福でした。

  This review contains spoilers. The heroine has been ridiculed as being childish, but rather, it was probably because she was a child that the hero also felt like building a sand castle. Things that are easy to do break quickly, but it was a good opportunity to awaken an artist's instincts. The dark eyes of the guy we live with and his naked body in color paintings were a blessing to my eyes.
