  昔を思い出した。
  It reminded me of the old days.
  10年以上前、中学生の頃に朝の読書の時間にこの小説を読んでいた。その時に同級生が「漫画もあって面白い」と言っていたのを思い出して読んだ。懐かしい気分になり、フツフツと読んだ頃の記憶が蘇ってきた。独特の世界観に引き込まれた。終盤の主人公のところが面白しろかった。時間とは尊いもので、素晴らしいものだと感じた。

  Over 10 years ago, when I was in middle school, I read this novel in my morning reading time. At that time, I remembered that my classmate said, “There are comics too, so it's interesting,” and read them. It made me feel nostalgic, and my memories of when I read it came back to life. I was drawn into a unique view of the world. The character at the end of the game was interesting. I felt that time was precious, and it was a wonderful thing.

  原作に忠実
  True to the original
  小学生のころ大好きだった作品。漫画になっても、かつて自分が思い描いていた通りの場面が描かれていてとても懐かしく思いました！セリフとキャラの雰囲気もとても合っていると思います。

  I loved this work when I was in elementary school. Even when it was made into a comic, it drew scenes just as I had imagined, and I felt so nostalgic! I think the dialogue and the atmosphere of the characters match very well.

  懐かしい……!!漫画になっても面白い！
  I miss it...!! Even if it becomes a comic, it's interesting!
  This review contains spoilers. 原作をしっかり読んだのはだいぶ昔ですが、記憶に残っているシーンのカットはなく丁寧に描かれている印象を受けました(少しだけグロ回避で改変されたシーンがある気はしますが…。違ったらごめんなさい)。読んでいると当時のワクワクが蘇ってきてつい読み進めてしまいました。クレプスリーがかっこよく＆ハーキャットが可愛く描かれていたので嬉しかったです。あと漫画だと、文字だけではごっちゃになりがちな登場人物たちのイメージが掴みやすかったです。今はいろんな漫画や小説があちこちに溢れている時代だけど、ダレン・シャンのように長く愛されるお話の魅力ももっと知ってもらいたいなーと思いました。漫画も面白いので、小説と漫画と、お店でもセットで置いておいてくれたらいいなー。本編と関係ないですが、あとがき漫画、カエルが可愛くて結構好きです。

  This review contains spoilers. It's been a long time since I read the original story carefully, but I got the impression that there were no memorable scene cuts and that it was carefully drawn (I have a feeling that there are scenes that have been modified to avoid glo just a little bit... Sorry if that's wrong). As I read it, the excitement of that time came back to life, and I just continued reading. I was happy that Crepsley was so cool and Harcat were drawn so cute. Also, when it comes to comics, it was easy to get an image of the characters who tend to get messy with just the letters. Now is an age where all kinds of comics and novels are everywhere, but I wanted people to know more about the appeal of stories that have been loved for a long time like Darren Shang. The comics are also interesting, so it would be nice if they kept the novel and manga as a set at the store. It has nothing to do with the main story, but the comic with the afterword, Frog, is cute and I like it quite a bit.
