  取引の条件は
  What are the terms of the deal
  まんまと騙されてしまうのか、人を疑うということを知らない、愛一筋に進む「無垢」なヒロイン、読んでいるこちらがハラハラする作り。美内すずえ先生の「王女アレキサンドラ」を思い出した。あれは信じるということが悪人を善人化する話、こちらは、愛する心が男の底にあった情を揺さぶり、腹の中の膿を浄化する話。兄の働きが要となり、メイン二人の関係を新たなステージへ連れ出す物語の方向チェンジが入る。JET先生ご担当の兄編があり随分前に読んだが、本作のお兄様は、JET先生の描いたお兄様にしか見えない。筆を先生が入れられたか？両先生共描かれる人物は成熟した大人なので、HQ気分充実。ただ、時々ヒロインの顔が荒れた印象。HQは年齢より幼い絵の人物がよく有って、興を削がれ勝ちだが、先生達の絵は大人なので嬉しい。彼は悩んだ。そこは判る。が、結論出すところは結末に取って置きのシーンになった。失いそうになりながら、失いかけながら、結果は、失わず全て手中。HQは欲張りだから。出来すぎた話には見える。ヒロインに対してハラハラを盛り上げるだけ盛り上げておいて、ヒロインは後半は反撃の戦闘モード。失望と怒りと悲しみがあったにせよ、前半の子羊キャラはひっくり返る。餌食となるまでは大丈夫かと言うほど無防備でうぶな反応ばかりだったのが、後半は猫が総毛立ってフーフー唸っているかのよう。お怒りごもっともだが、その男性不信人間不信への振り子が左右真反対へ振り切ったも同然なのに、相手をまだ嫌いになれない所を、言葉より絵の説得力で見たかった。ヒロインに衝撃を与えた日から彼は心乱れる日々。ヒロインは強く出るようになり、彼は自分のやり方に自信が持てなくなった。彼は思い切りが良すぎて、我が身の清算について少しの躊躇なく一切合財なものだから、却ってそんな潔さが、男らしくて、私がヒロインならもうもう声を上げて泣くところ。騙されたことには悔し涙でも、彼の幕引きは、彼のこだわりへの理解は頭の中にある。彼女には気持ちのいい決着感は抱けない。いい年をした大人の自分が被害者顔だけで済まされない。不実行為への彼の誠実な向き合い方として、無条件全面降伏の如く両手を挙げられたら、彼のところに兎に角走ってみるしかない。そんなとき、そこにいるんだ！？、と、流れ的に共感するものの、ドラマ盛り上げにまで効果的。このシーンは頁数欲しかった。兄器広し！

  An “innocent” heroine who goes all out of love, who doesn't know that she will be deceived or doubts people, and it's made to be harassing when reading it. Reminds me of “Princess Alexandra” by Suzue Miuchi. That is a story where believing turns bad people into good people, and this is a story where a loving heart shakes the feelings that were at the bottom of a man and purifies the pus in his stomach. The older brother's work becomes a cornerstone, and there is a change in direction in the story that takes the relationship between the two main people to a new stage. There is an older brother edition that JET sensei is in charge of, and I read it a long time ago, but the older brother in this work only looks like the older brother drawn by JET Sensei. Did the teacher put in the brush? The characters that both teachers co-depict are mature adults, so the HQ feeling is fulfilling. However, I have the impression that the heroine's face was rough from time to time. There are a lot of people in HQ who are younger than their age, and they win by losing interest, but I'm happy that the teachers' pictures are adults. He was worried. I understand that. But what I came to the conclusion was a scene set aside from the ending. While almost losing, almost losing, the results are all in your hands without losing them. That's because HQ is greedy. It seems like an overdone story. Keep it as exciting as possible to make the heroine feel excited, and the heroine is in a counterattack battle mode in the second half. Even though there was disappointment, anger, and sadness, the Lamb character in the first half turned upside down. Until they fell prey, they were so defenseless and careless that they asked if it was okay, but in the second half, it was as if the cat had full fur and was groaning. I'm so angry, but I wanted to see the persuasive power of the picture rather than words, that male distrust, and the pendulum of distrust had almost shaken off the opposite side to the left and right, yet I still couldn't dislike my opponent. From the day he shocked the heroine, he was in turmoil every day. The heroine began to come out strong, and he lost confidence in his own way. He was so bold, and since he made a joint fortune without any hesitation about his own settlement, he was so clean that manly, and if I were the heroine, I'd already raise my voice and cry. Even with tears of regret that he was deceived, his understanding of his obsession is in his head. She doesn't have a pleasant sense of settlement. My old adult self cannot be satisfied with just the face of a victim. As a sincere way for him to deal with his misconduct, if both hands are raised as if he had surrendered unconditionally, there is no choice but to run horn at him. At that time, they're there!? Although I sympathize fluently with, it is effective even in boosting drama excitement. I wanted the number of pages for this scene. Big brother!

  良かった！
  That was great!
  途中ウルッとしました(泣)。あと兄ちゃんがめっちゃ男前だった！ありがちな話の内容かもしれないけど、引き込まれてしまったし、画もキレイで素敵でした。購入して良かったです。

  I cried along the way (crying). Also, my older brother was so handsome! It may be a common story, but I was drawn in, and the pictures were beautiful and wonderful. I'm glad I bought it.

  作画が岩崎センセなので購入
  The drawing is by Iwasaki Sense, so I bought it
  ハーレクインの独特の世界観が苦手だけど、作画担当が岩崎センセなので購入。キリルは何歳かわからないけど、このセンセの黒髪男性はどうがんばっても30代にしかみえない。白髪に線の髪だと20代後半にみえるから不思議だ。落ち着いているジェントルマンだといえばいいのかな？キリルもアレーナも高慢ではなく性格はいい。ハーレクインの王道設定の仕事のために恋愛を利用するという始まりだけど、ハピエンなので安心して読めます。なにげにアレーナの兄がいい仕事をしてるのがかっこいい。ただ、できればもう少し恋愛を利用されたとどん底まで堕ちてからの復活が見たかったので★4つです

  I'm not good at Harlequin's unique worldview, but the person in charge of drawing is Iwasaki Sense, so I bought it. I don't know how old Kirill is, but no matter how hard he tries, he only looks like he's in his 30s. It's strange because if you have gray hair lines, you'll look like you're in your late 20s. Is it fair to say that he's a calm gentleman? Neither Kirill nor Arena are proud, but they have good personalities. It's the beginning of using romance for Harlequin's royal road setting work, but since it's Happien, I can read it without worry. After all, it's cool that Arena's older brother does a good job. However, if possible, I wanted to see a resurrection after falling to the bottom if they could use romance a little more, so it's ★ 4
