  勉強になりました
  It became a learning experience
  This review contains spoilers. リアルなゲイ事情を読ませていただきました。とても分かりやすかったです。作者さんは、インスタやブログでもゲイについてや、ご自身の周りのLBGTＱについても継続して描かれていました。知らなかった事がたくさん読めて、しかも楽しかった！！

  This review contains spoilers. I read a real gay situation. It was very easy to understand. The author continued to depict gays and LBGTQ around him on his Instagram and blog. I was able to read a lot of things I didn't know, and it was fun!!

  ゲイバー行ってみたい症候群に効きました
  It worked for the syndrome of wanting to go to a gay bar
  This review contains spoilers. BLを読むようになって、いろんな症状を拗らせている昨今の私。どちらかと言うとサブカルチャーの一分野として、リアルなゲイカルチャーにも興味があるんです。そんな自分にとって、BLを読むようになって、行ってみたい場所ができてしまいまして。そう、よくBLに出てくるゲイバー。そこでオネエ系キャラのママさんからイジリの洗礼を受けてみたい！そんな思いにここしばらくとらわれていました… でも、リアル腐レンズのいない自分。いくら接客のプロとはいえ、自分のような世代の人間が一人で行ったところで、先方も扱いに困るんではなかろうか？うーむ、どうしたらいいのか…と、思っていたところに、ちょうど残業仲間の男子(既婚)が目に入り(この年下の男子を連れて行ったらそんなに目立たないのではないだろうか…その横で時々イジられるくらいなら、そんなに迷惑にならんかも…)という酷い考えが浮かび、つい「ちょっと、オネエ系のママさんがいるお店に興味があってイジられてみたいなーって思うんだけ…」と、途中まで話してみたらドン引きされてしまい、サーっと青ざめました。(いかん。このままじゃ腐バレどころか、逆セクハラになってしまう…)そう、もうこの世代になると、セクハラの被害者じゃなくて、加害者になりかねないのです。さすがに脳内にコンプラ違反警報が鳴って「なーんてね、アハハ！」と笑い飛ばしたのですが、本当に日頃の言動には注意せないかんな…と反省しました。 しかし、一度きりの人生。このまま行かなくていいのか？とモヤモヤしていたところ、絵柄はアレだけどリアルゲイカルチャーを知るって意味じゃ面白そう…と興味を惹かれ、本作をポチり。そしたら、作者さまが元リアルオネエ系のゲイバーのママ！出だしのエピソードが女性入店可、のゲイバーでの女性客話で、ヒュッてなりました。そっかそっか、そう見えているのかーと。その後も、売り専とホストの関係や、キャバ嬢との対決、クローゼットゲイを知らない世代との世代格差など、スンとなったり、プッて吹き出したりふーんとなったり。「裸餓男」の読み方も最高！ネタものとして読む分には面白く、1回ゲイバー行ったくらいの裏話が知れた感じがして、ゲイバー行ってみたい症候群がおさまったんです。とりあえず私には効果があって嬉しかった〜〜。読みホに同じ作者の別作品あり。興味があったらどうぞ！

  This review contains spoilers. I've started reading BL, and I'm suffering from various symptoms these days. If anything, I'm interested in real gay culture as a field of subculture. For me, I've started reading BL, and now I have a place I want to go. Yes, gay bars often appear in BL. So I'd like to be baptized by Ijiri, who is an old character! I've been holding myself to such thoughts for a while now... but I don't have real rotten lenses. No matter how professional they are in customer service, where people of a generation like myself went alone, wouldn't their partner have trouble handling them? Hmm, just when I was wondering what to do... a boy (married) who is an overtime buddy caught my eye (wouldn't it be that noticeable if I took this younger boy... if he was sometimes bullied on his side, it might not be that annoying...) came to mind, and I just thought, “Hey, I'm interested in a store with a big mom and want to be bullied...” and when I talked halfway through, I was drawn back when I talked about it halfway through At the end of the day, I quickly turned pale. (No. (At this rate, far from being revealed as corruption, it will become reverse sexual harassment...) Yes, once we are in this generation, we may become perpetrators rather than victims of sexual harassment. As expected, a compliance violation alarm sounded in my brain and I was like, “Huh, ahaha!” I laughed it off, but I really reflected that I couldn't pay attention to my daily words and actions... But you only live once. Is it OK if we don't go this way? When I was confused, I was intrigued by the fact that the pattern is like that, but it seems interesting in the sense of knowing real gay culture... and I fell in love with this work. Then, the author is a former real gay bar mom! The first episode was a story about a female customer at a gay bar where women are allowed to enter, and I was amazed. That's right, I wonder if it looks like that. Even after that, the relationship between sales and hosts, confrontations with hostesses, and the generational gap with the generation that doesn't know closet gays, etc., went off and on. The way to read “The Naked Hungry Man” is also great! It was interesting to read as a joke, and I felt that the backstory of going to a gay bar once was known, and the syndrome of wanting to go to a gay bar subsided. Anyway, I was happy that it worked for me ~~. There are other works by the same author in Yomi-ho. If you're interested, go ahead!
