  テンポもよくて面白かったです
  The tempo was good and it was interesting
  どんどん続きが読みたくなり、あっと言う間に読み終わっていた感じです。120数ページの中によくこれだけエピソード盛り込めたな、と狩野先生に脱帽！

  I wanted to read more and more, and I felt like I finished reading it in a blink of an eye. Hats off to Kano-sensei that he was able to include this many episodes in 120 or so pages!

  甘めに星付けました。広いお話のごく一部。
  I sweetly gave it a star. Just a small part of a wider story.
  カラメールという名の一連のものの一角のようですが、話がだだっ広く薄く迫力がないサスペンスが展開した感じです。時間的制約からか量的制約からなのか、どうもアッサリ真相が語られて、読んでるこちらに「そうだったの！？」といった意外性も数奇な運命みたいのも、どちらも生ぬるかった。幼い恋脱却の割には大人としての二人がまだ友達に近く、または味方同士的な立場以上の感情が現れ出ることが少なく、もうちょっと酔わせてくれても、と思う。国王近辺の話なのに、身の危険云々の状況にしては物々しい警備のものなど絵に入ってきておらず、全体として動きがどこかスピード感不足。アクションは船上は少しエネルギッシュだったが、犯人一味に語らせ過ぎて王宮内シーンがもうひとつの山場になりきれてなかった。真相解明に向かってのメイン二人の連携ぶりを出すのが主眼だとしても、この話、何処かテロの脅威に対するムードにピリピリが光る少ない。メインふたりの絵、せめて表紙並みの躍動感と美的感覚の高さが、本編の方にもあったなら！

  It seems to be part of a series called Caramère, but it feels like the story unfolds in a very broad, weak, and unimpressive suspense. The truth was quickly told, whether it was due to time restrictions or quantitative restrictions, and I was reading “Was that so!?” Such unexpectedness and strange fate were both lukewarm. In spite of breaking away from a young love, the two people as adults are still close to friends or seldom show feelings beyond the position of being on each other's side, so I think it would be a little more intoxicating. Even though it's a story about someone close to the king, there is no such thing as a burdensome security thing in the face of personal danger, and overall, the movement lacks some sense of speed. The action was a bit energetic onboard, but the criminal gang talked too much and the scene inside the royal palace wasn't completely turned into another mountain area. Even if the main focus is on showing cooperation between the two main people to unravel the truth, there is little tingling shining in the mood against the threat of terrorism somewhere in this story. If only the main story had a picture of the two main characters, at least as high a sense of dynamism and aesthetics as the cover!

  面白かった！
  That was interesting!
  ハラハラドキドキのサスペンスあり、2人のロマンスありで、ストーリーがよく練られていて最後まで楽しめました！

  There was a thrilling suspense, there was a romance between the two, and the story was well thought out and I enjoyed it until the end!
