  コミカル そして、胸が何度も痛くなる
  Comical and my heart hurts over and over
  楽しくって苦しくって、人を好きになっているときの感情が溢れてる作品です。相手が自分に振り返ってくれてない、それでも好きな人がそばにいるときの気持ちは、いい関係を壊すのがこわくて進められないし、制御できなくなる自分にはなりたくないから自分を押し止めておく言葉をわざわざ口にして心の火消しに必死。すでに自分の気持ちは後戻りなんか無理だけど、相手の気持ちを確かめられない。夫婦になってすれ違いの片想い感情を抱く二人。彼は愛というものをよくわかってなかった。それって、ヒロインが初恋の人がベンというのと少しも変わらない。ベンはヒロインにはこれまで女性に対して抱いたことのない感情の芽生えを自覚して、ベンはそれを愛というのだと言葉に定義こそできなかったけれど、ヒロインは、彼も自分を愛してることがわかる。やっと、そこに達したのだな、という感じである。自覚まで紆余曲折あったのだから。なくてはならない存在になれる。一番大切なことだと思う。出会えたのが素晴らしい。結婚という形が成ったのを見届けられて嬉しく思う。いなかったらどうやって生きていったらわからない、こんなことを彼に思ってもらえる、最高なことだと思う。長年の片想いが実って良かったね、と思う。そういう人に出逢いたいと、この作品で心底思った。新婚初夜の、手を出せないベンの深夜の独白がすごく良かった。それにしても、シークを持ってくる必要性をあまり感じなかった。シークが改宗とか言い出してるし！

  It's fun and painful, and it's a work full of emotions when you fall in love with someone. The feeling when the other person isn't looking back on you, and even so, when someone you like is close to you is that you're afraid of breaking a good relationship and you can't move forward, and you don't want to become someone you can't control, so you're desperate to put out the fire in your heart by going out of your way to say words that hold you back. It's already impossible for me to go back on my feelings, but I can't confirm the other person's feelings. They are a married couple and have unrequited feelings of mutual love. He didn't really understand what love was. That's no different from the heroine whose first love is Ben. Ben is aware of the development of feelings that the heroine has never had for women until now, and Ben couldn't define it in terms of love, but the heroine knows that he also loves himself. At last, I feel like we've reached that point. That's because there were twists and turns until I realized it. You can become an indispensable presence. I think it's the most important thing. It was wonderful that we met. I'm happy to be able to watch the marriage take shape. I think it's a great thing for him to think about things like this that he wouldn't know how to live without him. I think it was good that my long-standing unrequited love came to fruition. I really wanted to meet someone like that in this film. I really enjoyed Ben's late-night monologue on the first night of their honeymoon, when he couldn't get his hands on it. Even so, I didn't really feel the need to bring in Seeks. Sikhs are starting to say they converted!

  一番好きな話の一つ！
  One of my favorite stories!
  This review contains spoilers. コメディ要素もヒロインの成長もヒーローの憎めなさも、全てが魅力的！少し自己評価の低いヒロインが健気で前向きに頑張ってて可愛いです。ヒーローの鈍さはいっそ笑えるくらい…それでも憎めなくて可愛いと思えるのは作家さんの上手さだと思います。確かにシークものっぽくないですが、原作読むともっともーっとシークっぽくない（笑）ハーレクインのヒーローにこんな我慢強い男いるか？ってくらい忍耐強くて紳士。原作では無理やりのシーンもないので、そこが気持ち悪い人は原作の方がオススメかも。

  This review contains spoilers. The comedic elements, the heroine's growth, and the hero's lack of hate are all fascinating! The heroine, who has a slightly low self-esteem, is doing her best in a healthy, positive manner, and is cute. The hero's sluggishness is even laughable... even so, I think the writer is good at it because I can't hate it and think it's cute. It certainly doesn't look like Seek, but if you read the original story, it's even more not like Seek (laughs) is there a Harlequin hero who is this patient? He was so patient and a gentleman. There aren't any forced scenes in the original story, so if you don't feel comfortable with that, I might recommend the original one.

  おすすめ?何回も読んだ
  recommended? I read it many times
  絵もきれいだし王道でおすすめです。ハーレクインは女性側の気持ちばっかり書かれている作品が多いですが、この作品は男性側の気持ちもよく書かれていてよかったです。二人の惹かれあうところがよくわかります。

  The pictures are beautiful and I recommend it on the royal road. There are many Harlequin works that only describe the feelings of women, but I'm glad that the feelings on the male side are also well written in this work. I understand very well what the two are attracted to.
