  悪魔な母と嫁
  Evil Mother and Bride
  物語はヒロイン ロビンの物思いで占められていた。16歳の頃に抱いた思いは失恋に終わっていたが、12年間変わらずに彼女を占めていた。7歳も年上のヒーロー クレイによる断りの言葉は、その身に相応しくないほどの冷たい言葉だったせいで 彼女を縛っていたのだ。けれど、それには理由があったことは 後に彼が告白している。この物語の引っ掛かるところは、クレイがロビンに付き合うことを提案し、始まった中で 表面的に紳士に見せている 女をおとす手管に見え、悪魔的に酷い母や元妻に傷ついた自分が幸せになりたいという希望からは遠ざかったままの立ち位置で ロビンを求めている事だ。金銭をチラつかせて、姉夫婦の友人という立場をも利用して甘ったれているのが見られて腹が立つ。そういう意味でロビンの行動が正統派で流されず、よく自制したと褒めたいが やはり哀れを催す。クレイの過去に同情はするが、支えてくれた叔母の愛情を無にしている状況には、同情心も薄らいでいく。この展開の中で、なんとか愛情を実らせる唯一の土台は、叔母とロビンの愛情だ。ここが無ければ 甘ったれ男の愛憎劇で終わっていただろう。

  The story was dominated by the memories of the heroine Robin. The feelings I had when I was 16 had ended in heartbreak, but they occupied her for 12 years without changing. The words of refusal by the hero Clay, who is 7 years older, bound her because they were cold words that were inappropriate for her body. However, he later confessed that there was a reason for this. The snag in this story is that Clay proposes to go out with Robin and is looking for Robin in a position where she appears to be a gentleman on the surface in the beginning, and is seeking Robin in a position where she stands far from her desire to be happy when she has been hurt by her devilishly severe mother or ex-wife. It's infuriating to see them flickering their money and being spoiled by using their position as friends with their older sister and his wife. In that sense, Robin's behavior is orthodox, and I want to praise him for his good restraint, but it's still pathetic. I sympathize with Clay's past, but my sympathy for the situation where she lost the love of her aunt who supported her also wanes. In this development, the only foundation that somehow makes love come true is the love between my aunt and Robin. Without this place, it would have ended in a love-hate drama about a spoiled man.

  思ったより良かった
  It was better than I expected
  前半は意識し過ぎのネガティブなヒロインだなと思ってましたが、後半は流されることなく凛とした一途な姿にグッときました。お互い思いあっていたのですね。面白かったです。

  I thought the first half was a negative heroine who was too conscious, but in the second half, I was amazed at her dignified and unwavering appearance without being swept away. They had feelings for each other, didn't they? That was interesting.

  絵が大好きです
  I love painting
  This review contains spoilers. 奥深いストーリーでした。ずーと好きだった初恋の相手に拒絶され恋に臆病になったヒロインと過去の出来事から愛を信じないヒーロー。ヒロインの芯の強さや一途な姿にグッドきました。いくらか過去に辛い出来事があってもここまでヒロインを誤解するのは情けないヒーローです。それに流れで前の結婚してたなんて本当にこんな男でいいのかと思うほどに彼にはもったいないヒロインでした。先生の描くヒロインやヒーローが大好きで読んでいますが今回は残念なヒーローでした。

  This review contains spoilers. It was a deep story. A heroine who has always been rejected by her first love partner and is timid in love, and a hero who doesn't believe in love due to past events. I'm glad for the heroine's strong core and unwavering appearance. It's a pathetic hero who misunderstands the heroine so far, even if there have been some painful events in the past. Also, her previous marriage was such a wasteful heroine for him that she thought it was really okay to be this kind of man. I love the heroines and heroes drawn by the teacher and read it, but this time it was a disappointing hero.
