  HQだから結局「現実の楽園」になる
  Because it's HQ, it ends up being a “real paradise”
  HQの古典ともいっていいと思う。私は約2年前からHQコミカライズを読み始めた。「ハーレクインなんて」という偏見があったからだ。しかしHQコミカライズは小説より軽くあっさりと読め、ついついハマってしまった?結構な数の作品を読んだと思う。ギリシア大富豪＝傲慢はもうHQステレオタイプか...という程読んだけど、その中で、このヒーローほどゲスな奴はいなかった。アポロン自体その性格は理性的だけど冷酷で残忍といわれているようにヒーローは愛を交わした後に豹変する。ギリシア人らしく妹のための報復らしいがそれも妹の口から間違いだったことが分かった後も謝らず、そして......。意外なことに作画者様のお陰かアポロンと例えられるほどの美しさがソフトに描かれて、その傲慢さ薄められ、気弱さを感じる。だから逆にこのヒーローのゲスさに嫌悪を感じるのだ。終盤妹の兄に対する弁明（成育歴のせい）でヒロインは絆される。あ～ヒロインが惚れてるなら仕方ないが、ヒーローが傲慢な人でなしだったことは変わらない。キリスト教的な「許し」が通底にあるのか。ヒロイン兄のことをヒーローから聞かされた時、兄を信じ、毅然とResponseした姿は、ヒロインが「許す」ことができる力を秘めていた証からかもしれない。

  I think it can also be called an HQ classic. I started reading HQ Comicalize about 2 years ago. That's because there was a prejudice called “Harlequin.” However, HQ Comicalize is lighter and easier to read than a novel, and just became addicted to it? I think I've read quite a few works. I read that Greek millionaire = arrogance is already an HQ stereotype... but among them, no one was as bad as this hero. As Apollo itself is said to be rational yet ruthless and brutal, the hero changes drastically after exchanging love. They seem to be Greek and seem to be retaliation for their younger sister, but even after learning that it was a mistake from her sister's words, they didn't apologize, and... Surprisingly, thanks to the artist, the beauty that can be compared to Apollo is drawn softly, and that arrogance is diluted, and I feel weak. That's why, on the contrary, I feel disgusted by this hero's guessness. The heroine is bonded by her younger sister's excuse for her older brother at the end of the stage (due to her educational history). Oh, it can't be helped if the heroine is in love, but that doesn't change the fact that the hero was not an arrogant person. Is there a Christian “forgiveness” at the root? When the hero told me about the heroine older brother, the appearance of believing in her older brother and responding resolutely may be proof that the heroine had hidden power to “forgive.”

  映画のようです
  It's like a movie
  映画のように流れていくお話でした。途中で、すれ違ってしまい、どうなるのかと思いましたが、ハッピーエンドでよかったと。

  It was a story that flowed like a movie. We passed each other along the way, and I was wondering what would happen, but I'm glad it was a happy ending.

  とても
  Very
  心にずっしりとくるストーリーで、涙なしでは読めませんでした。最後の最後に素直になれたヒーロー。本当に良かったけれど、ヒロインの辛さを思うと涙が止まりませんでした。これからは素直に過ごしていってほしいなぁ。

  It was a story that stuck in my heart, and I couldn't read it without tears. A hero who was able to be honest at the very end. It was really good, but I couldn't stop crying when I thought about the heroine's pain. I want them to be honest from now on.
