  青春は、甘くて少し苦いレモン色🍋💛
  Youth is a sweet, slightly bitter lemon color 🍋💛
  『ハニーレモンソーダ』は、最初は「王道の少女漫画かな？」という軽い気持ちで読み始めましたが、気づけば夢中になっていました。恋愛を中心に描かれている作品ではありますが、それ以上に主人公・羽花が少しずつ自分に自信を持ち、自分らしく成長していく姿がとても印象的でした。羽花は最初、人と話すことも苦手で、自分の気持ちをうまく伝えられません。しかし、界くんとの出会いや友達との関わりを通して、一歩ずつ前に進んでいく姿には何度も勇気をもらいました。読んでいると、「自分も頑張ってみよう」と前向きな気持ちになれる作品です。界くんもただかっこいいだけではなく、相手を尊重しながら、そっと背中を押してくれる優しさが魅力的で、羽花との距離が少しずつ縮まっていく様子に何度もドキドキしました。2人の恋愛だけでなく友情や家族との関係、それぞれの悩みも丁寧に書かれているので、物語に深みがあります。絵もとても綺麗で、登場人物の表情や空気感が繊細に表現されているので、感情移入しやすかったです。胸がキュンとする場面はもちろん、思わず泣きそうになるようなシーンや笑えるシーンもあり、最後まで飽きることなく楽しめました。恋愛漫画が好きな人はもちろん、「青春を感じたい」「前向きな気持ちになれる作品を読みたい」と言う人にもぜひお勧めしたい作品です。読み終えた後はタイトルのレモンソーダのように、甘さの中に爽やかさが残る素敵な読後感味わえました。

  “Honey Lemon Soda” was initially a “royal girls' comic?” I started reading it with a light feeling, but before I knew it, I was hooked. It's a work that mainly depicts love, but even more than that, it was very impressive how the main character, Hana, gradually gained confidence in herself and grew in her own way. At first, Habana isn't good at talking to people, and she can't convey her feelings well. However, through my encounters with Kai-kun and my relationships with my friends, I was encouraged many times by the sight of him moving forward one step at a time. When I read it, it's a work that makes me feel positive, saying, “Let's do our best, too.” Not only is Kai-kun cool, but the kindness with which he gently pushes his back while respecting his opponent is attractive, and I was thrilled over and over again as the distance between him and Habana shrinks little by little. Not only the love between the two, but also their friendship, relationship with their families, and their respective concerns are carefully written, so there is depth in the story. The pictures were also very beautiful, and the expressions and atmosphere of the characters were delicately expressed, so it was easy to empathize. Of course, there were scenes that made my heart cringe, but there were also scenes where I almost cried and laughable, so I was able to enjoy it until the end without getting bored. I definitely recommend this work not only to people who like romance comics, but also to people who “want to feel young” and “want to read works that make you feel positive.” After I finished reading it, I was able to enjoy a wonderful feeling after reading, where freshness remains in the sweetness, just like the lemon soda in the title.

  キラキラ、最上級に甘々ハニーレモンソーダ
  Sparkling, supreme sweet honey lemon soda
  This review contains spoilers. 界羽花による、甘くて、酸っぱくって、ソーダの様に刺激的な初恋青春物語、どっぷりハマった者です。最初から最後まで、羽花ちゃんと界くんのドラマから目が離せませんでした。途中、最強のライバルも出てきたりしますけど、そんな子へも、優しさと導きをくれる、最高に優しい女の子と男の子そんな2人の周りに集まってくる子達も、最高にキラキラしてて、眩しくて、良い子達で、捻くれてる子も居たは居たけど、それもまた、よかったと思います。どんな困難があっても、界羽花なら乗り越えられるとそう思う、素敵な作品でした、読んでよかったなと、最終回まで、目が離せないカップルに出会えてよかったです。

  This review contains spoilers. I am a person who is completely addicted to Hatsukoi Seishun Monogatari by Hana Kaiwa, which is sweet, sour, and exciting like soda. I kept an eye on the Habana-chan and Kai-kun drama from beginning to end. Along the way, the strongest rivals also came up, but even for such children, the children who gathered around these two people, the girl and the kindest girl and boy, who gave kindness and guidance, were the most sparkling, dazzling, good kids, and there were also children who were twisted, and I think that was also good. It was a wonderful work, and I'm glad I met a couple that I couldn't take my eyes off until the final episode, and I'm glad I read it, no matter what kind of difficulties there are.

  最終回も良かった〜
  The last episode was good too~
  This review contains spoilers. 最後は結婚するので締めるんだろうなーと思いつつ、プロポーズのところが良かった一級建築士になるというもの良い全編を通して主役の二人以外の仲間皆が成長していくのが本当に良かった

  This review contains spoilers. It was really nice that all of my friends other than the two leading actors grew up through the full story where the proposal was good because they were getting married, so while thinking that it would end up being a first-class architect
