  心に傷を
  Heartbroken
  抱いた女性が幸せになるのをこばみ続ける話です。最後は、ギャグ？？って思う台詞回しだったけど、2人の気持ちが重なってよかったです。

  It's a story about a woman who holds her and keeps on holding her happy. the last one is a gag?? It was a line I thought, but I'm glad their feelings overlapped.

  辛い幼時の記憶 もう恐れなくていい明日
  painful childhood memories don't have to be afraid anymore tomorrow
  俗物以下の酷い男性同僚が話に出てくる。こういういやな人間を誇張して描写しているが、現実も男性の能力の対抗心から来る嫉妬心は始末に終えないから、お話だと彼が力で撃退してくれるところがいい。綺麗事は言わない。殴ってくれてスカッとした。ヒロインは家庭に恵まれなかった。両親とも親の役目を果たしていない。しかし、それをヒロインは自分のせいだと、自分を裁いてしまって、自分を罰するように自分を愛から隔絶させていた。悪いのは両親なのに、大叔母の言葉もあったのに。大叔母様のような人が居てくれて、ヒロインは冷たい世の中にも暖かな人の存在を小さな頃から感じることができたという事が、ヒロインの周囲でヒロインのことを見いだす人にも恵まれる結果を運んできたのだろう。ヒロインの建築士としてのスキルをしっかり見つめてくれた所長は、大叔母様に次ぐ育ての親だ。仕事を見ずに外見や女性としての魅力面に目がいって、それらの要素を排して当人自身の能力を見極めようとしないところは、実は、彼も、最低な奴である同僚も似てる。そう、男だから。異性としての側面を抜きにして見れない。でも、冷静であろうとする努力もまた、二人は物語の主役にふさわしい。葛藤が素敵だ。そして、恋の感情は、避けても突っ張っても結局抗うことができない。ひかれあう二人が交際関係を開始してからも、冷静であろうとする。そこは想定できるが、狂言回しのいとこ夫妻の動きが読めなくて、別の意味でストーリーを彼らが動かす。その二人の夫婦の有り様は、人はどんな地位に就いていようが同じだなと、思わされる。こういう公国は、大公ファミリーがその国で最も稼ぐ力を持っているから代々大公であるのであって、彼はそのファミリーの一員として、今後も公国の収入を支えていくのだろう。その意味では、ヒロインの「国際プロジェクトも担える力量」を活かすところをストーリーがフォローして欲しかった。私は絵を見に来たのだが、今回少々ディテイルに物足りなさを感じた。モノローグがメイン二人にはそこそこあるので、コマをゴテゴテしても見にくくはなるが、ストーリーの舞台は、ロンドンと地中海、公国とある。それらの場面場面に居た様な雰囲気はもっと欲しかった。

  A terrible male colleague who is less than vulgar comes up in the story. This kind of disgusting person is exaggerated, but in reality, the jealousy that comes from a man's sense of opposition to his abilities doesn't end in the end, so if it's a story, it's nice that he repels them with power. I'm not saying pretty things. It hit me and I was so relieved. The heroine did not have a good family. Both parents do not fulfill the role of parents. However, the heroine judged herself, saying that it was her own fault, and she isolated herself from love as if punishing herself. Even though my parents were the bad ones, my great-aunt said something too. There were people like my great-aunt, and the fact that the heroine was able to feel the presence of warm people even in a cold world from a young age probably brought results where people who find heroines around them are blessed. The director, who closely watched the heroine's skills as an architect, is the second nurturing parent after her great-aunt. In fact, he and his colleague, who is the worst guy, are similar in that he looks at his appearance and his appeal as a woman without looking at work, and doesn't try to determine the person's own abilities by excluding those elements. Yes, because he's a man. I can't look at it without my side as a person of the opposite sex. However, their efforts to keep calm are also suitable for the two leading roles in the story. The conflict is wonderful. Also, in the end, the feeling of love cannot be resisted, whether avoided or forced upon. Even after the two people who are attracted to each other begin a relationship, they try to stay calm. I can imagine that, but I can't read the movements of Kyogen Kaishi's cousin and his wife, and they move the story in a different sense. The state of those two married couples makes me think that people are the same no matter what position they hold. This kind of principality has been the Grand Duke for generations because the Grand Duke family has the most earning power in that country, and as a member of that family, he will probably continue to support the Principality's income in the future. In that sense, I wanted the story to follow up on the heroine's “ability to take on international projects.” I came to see the picture, but this time I felt that the details were a bit unsatisfactory. There are quite a few monologues for the two main players, so it's hard to see even if you rummage through the frames, but the story is set in London, the Mediterranean, and the Principality. I wanted more of an atmosphere like I was in those scenes.

  愛があれば大丈夫？
  Is love OK?
  頑なな二人が、お互いを思いやり愛を交わすうちに。。。良かったけど、あの従兄弟がいて、心穏やかに暮らせて行けるのか、ヒロインの心が心配。

  As these two stubborn people show compassion and love for each other... It was great, but I'm worried about the heroine's heart as to whether she will be able to live peacefully with her cousin.
