  原作買い
  Buy the original
  原作リンダ・ハワードからの買いです。碧ゆかこさんも大好きな漫画家なのでダブルでいいです。濡れ衣を着せられたヒロインは信じた恋人に裏切られて（容疑者確定で近づいてきた）切なくなりました。原作もそうですがひどい困難にもめげず戦う強いヒロインは尊敬もののキャラです。

  I bought the original story from Linda Howard. Aki Yukako is also a manga artist I love, so double is fine. The heroine, who was dressed in wet clothes, was betrayed by her lover she believed in (she came close with the suspect confirmed) and became sad. As is the case with the original story, the strong heroine who fights without hesitation despite terrible difficulties is a character I respect.

  漫画化に向かない原作かも
  Maybe it's an original work that isn't suitable for comic adaptation
  This review contains spoilers. 原作からきました絵は綺麗なんだがヒーローのワイルドさが足りないヒロインは確かに美人で掴みどころのない魅力があるのですが、笑顔とユーモアが足りない感じあと叔母さんもいないねこれ漫画化と相性が悪いんじゃなかろうか原作の一番の良さは細やかに変化する心理描写なんだが少いページでは無理筋、ヒーローが急に気が変わったように見えますもんね（実際急なんですが…小説でグダグダ説明する所が漫画だと数コマになっちゃうから）でも美しく映像化してくれてありがとうという気持ちです巻末の背広組良かったです

  This review contains spoilers. The picture that came from the original story is beautiful, but the heroine, who lacks the wildness of the hero, is certainly beautiful and has an elusive appeal, but the feeling that she doesn't have enough smiles and humor and doesn't have an aunt, isn't this compatible with comic adaptations? The best thing about the original story is the psychological depiction that changes in detail, but it's unreasonable on few pages, and it seems like the hero suddenly changed his mind (actually... it's actually abrupt... the place where Gudagda is explained in the novel is a comic (Because it's going to be a few frames) but I feel like thank you for beautifully visualizing it, the suit group at the end of the book was great

  名探偵を雇おう工藤君か、はじめちゃん
  Let's hire a detective Kudo-kun or Hajime-chan
  This review contains spoilers. 会計不適合による調査員として派遣されてきたブレッドとエヴァン。テッサと出会ったブレッドは「僕が差し出すつもりのなかったものを奪っていった」というとおり恋に堕ちた。しかし、横領容疑者として驚きはするものの彼女を告発することには容赦なかった。テッサが何を言っても信じ切れず、13か月とはいえ友人サミーが彼女を当たり前に信じ助力する。これは、一時の感情だけではなく、共に過ごした時間、語り合った事柄が人との絆、信頼を築き上げていくものだと教えてくれている。だが、本来サミーが重要容疑者であったはずなのにその調査が曖昧になりエヴァンでさえ振り回されているところはHQの底の浅さを感じてしまう。結果、テッサの無実が証明され復縁に至るが、ブレッドとテッサの間にはシコリが残るように感じる。この先一生ブレッドはテッサに頭が上がらないだろう。

  This review contains spoilers. Bred and Evan have been dispatched as investigators due to accounting irregularities. Bread, who met Tessa, fell in love, saying, “I took something I didn't mean to offer.” However, although she was surprised as a suspect of embezzlement, there was no mercy in accusing her. No matter what Tessa says, I can't believe it, and even though it's been 13 months, my friend Sammy takes her for granted and helps her. This tells me that not only momentary feelings, but also time spent together and matters discussed build bonds and trust with people. However, even though Sammy was originally supposed to be an important suspect, the investigation became vague and even Evan was swayed by it makes me feel the shallowness of HQ. As a result, Tessa's innocence is proven and they get back together, but I feel that dust remains between Bread and Tessa. Bread won't raise his head up to Tessa for the rest of his life.
