  気の毒なヒーロー
  My poor hero
  This review contains spoilers. ヒロインは未亡人で、ナニーとして応募し、ヒーローと出会います。妹は、子どもをヒーローに押し付け、町の人はヒーローを建設事故のせいで誹謗中傷。気の毒なヒーローですが、暖かなヒロインに心を開いていきます。愛に目覚めていなかったがための酷いプロポーズでしたが、ようやく気づいてハッピーエンド。よかったよかった。

  This review contains spoilers. The heroine is a widow, and she applies as a nanny and meets the hero. My sister pushes her child onto the hero, and the townspeople slander the hero because of a construction accident. He's a sorry hero, but he opens his heart to a warm heroine. It was a terrible proposal because I hadn't woken up to love, but I finally realized it and it ended happily. That's good, that's good.

  不幸と災難しかなかった男性の辿り着いた愛
  The love reached by a man who had nothing but misfortune and disaster
  主人公は女性側ですが、これは男性時点の視点の方がHQ的なシチュエーションに見えます。ヒロインが出現して人生に薔薇色が差してきて、伴侶となることで更に確かな未来を形作る。彼はヒロインとの出会いの幸運により、背を向けていた人間やコミュニティへの不信感を取り除いて行くことになりました。踏み込むことのなかった世界に、ヒロインと一緒に入って自分の人生を新展開出来ました。人の噂というものの根拠なく広まる無責任な性質により、真実は押しやられていたわけですが、そこに対する読者としての悔しさは、和解(？)シーンはあるものの、どうしてもわだかまりが残っています。罪なき人間を安易に傷つけることで憂さ晴らししていたとしか見えない、これまでの町の人たちからの冷たい態度を見せつけられて、私のもやもやは相当溜まった為に、簡単に解消されなかったのです。78頁の、ヒロインの返答は、誘いかけに対する返答、そのひとつ前のコマは、必ずしも誘いかけのような体裁の台詞ではないと思います。そうとることのできる台詞でもありますが、そんな暗喩を匂わされた描写とは言えません。二人の関係の好転がスピードを持ち始めたところなので、このやり取りで頁めくりすると、エンスト気分ですので、ここにはもう少し双方のやり取りに、ストップならストップの、ゴーならゴーの、関連付けをもっと与えて欲しかったように思います。読者的には宙ぶらりん気分となりました。絵が可愛らしく無難ですが、夫の年齢から見て少々少年っぽすぎたことは、責任感の強い借金返済のためにずっと頑張っている男性としてのたくましさの表現には妨げだった気がしています。ストーリー進行に直接の関係がないためか、端折られた、子供たちの実母の養育の意思の放棄が決定的になったところの子供たち自身の反応、読者の立場では、知りたかったとの思いもあります。物語進行のかなりを、彼をよく知る町の女性の手に委ねられているのは、物語構成として既に縛りがかかっていることなので、彼女の描かれ方こそが相当に重要だったのだと感じました。

  The main character is on the female side, but this looks like an HQ situation from a male point of view. A heroine appears and a rosy color changes into her life, and by becoming a partner, she shapes an even more certain future. Due to his good fortune of meeting the heroine, he was able to get rid of his distrust of people and communities that he had turned his back on. I was able to expand my life anew by entering a world I had never stepped into with my heroine. The truth was being pushed back due to the irresponsible nature of rumors about people spreading without any basis, but my frustration as a reader about that was reconciled (?) There is a scene, but no matter what, a rut remains. I was able to show off my cold attitude from the townspeople up until now, which can only be seen as relieving my melancholy by easily hurting innocent people, and my haze has accumulated quite a bit, so it wasn't easily resolved. The heroine's response on page 78 is a response to an invitation, and I don't think the frame before that is necessarily a line in the form of an invitation. It's also a line that can be taken that way, but I can't say that it's a depiction that evokes such a metaphor. The improvement in the relationship between the two has just begun to pick up speed, so when I turn the pages with this exchange, I feel like the engine stalled, so I think I wanted this to be a little more related to the exchange between the two parties, stop if stop, and go if go. From the reader's point of view, I felt like I was hanging out in the air. The picture is cute and safe, but I feel that being a little too boyish when viewed from my husband's age interfered with the expression of my strength as a man who has been working so hard to repay debts with a strong sense of responsibility. There is also a feeling that I wanted to know the reactions of the children themselves, from the viewpoint of readers, where the abandonment of the intentions of the children's real mother was decisive, probably because it was not directly related to the progress of the story. The fact that much of the progress of the story is left in the hands of a woman in the town who knows him well is that restrictions have already been put in place as a story structure, so I felt that the way she was drawn was quite important.
