  主人公の抱擁力と愛情深さに救われ
  Saved by the hero's hugging power and affectionate nature
  思ったより評価低くて驚きつつ、他の方のコメントになるほどなと納得。作家さんは、必要な説明シーンを削ってでも、ヒーローである侯爵の愛情深さとかを伝えることをセレクトされたんでしょう。それを直感的に感じ取った主人公が頑張る姿は、最初は痛々しかったけれど、徐々に侯爵の人と為りやバックグラウンドが分かるにつれて救いがあったのが良かったです。子どもができてハッピーエンドという一辺倒な他のハーレクイン作品とは違い、別のハッピーエンドもあるよと示した作品だと思います。作家さんのオリジナル作品を見た限りでは、表現力とストーリー力が高いと感じました。あと数ページあればもう少し盛り込めたのかな。こういう力のある作家さんや作品こそ、ちゃんとページ数をとって話の作り込みを上げることが、ハーレクインマンガのイメージアップに繋がるのではと思います。

  While I was surprised that the ratings were lower than I expected, I was convinced that it was someone else's comment. The artist was probably selected to convey the affectivity of the hero, the Marquis, even if necessary explanatory scenes are cut out. The sight of the protagonist, who intuitively sensed it, doing his best was painful at first, but it was nice that there was salvation as I gradually understood the Marquis's people and background. Unlike other Harlequin works, which are all about having children and having a happy ending, I think it is a work that shows that there are other happy endings. As far as I saw the artist's original work, I felt that the expressiveness and story power were high. If there were a few more pages, I wonder if I could have included a little more. For artists and works with this kind of power, I think that taking the proper number of pages and improving story formulation will lead to an improvement in the image of Harlequin comics.

  陶器のように美しい彼女！
  She is as beautiful as pottery!
  陶器のように美しい彼女と名誉、地位、容姿、才能、全てを兼ね備えているけど何か人間としての感情が欠落してしまっている彼、本当に愛のない結婚をするのかな？それだけは避けて欲しいのだけれど・・・

  Will a girlfriend who is as beautiful as pottery and a guy who has all the honor, status, appearance, and talent, but is missing some human emotion, really have a loveless marriage? I just want you to avoid that, but...

  強い二人
  Two strong people
  レビューが全体的に、オススメなんだけど、辛い！みたいな雰囲気だったので、読んでみました。深読みとか出来ないからなのか、辛い過去や経験を背負った二人ですが、どちらもそこから逃げずに、自分なりの立ち向かい方を見つけて、その道を進む、強い二人だなぁと感じました。ヒーローはヒロインと出会えて、幸せになれたと思います。ヒロインは…ヒーローに出会わない方が幸せだったかもしれませんが、でも、愛する人に出会えて二人で一緒に生きていけるのは、良かったはず。二人の今後は、きっとハッピーだと信じられる終わり方でした?

  Overall, I recommend the review, but it's painful! It had an atmosphere like that, so I read it. They are two people who are burdened with painful pasts and experiences, probably because they can't read in depth, but I felt that they are two strong people who did not run away from there, found their own way to face it, and went down that path. I think the hero was able to meet the heroine and become happy. As for the heroine... it may have been happier not to meet the hero, but it must have been nice to meet someone they love and be able to live together. The future of the two of them ended in such a way that they believed they would surely be happy?
