  おとなのおとぎ話
  Fairy tale for adults
  This review contains spoilers. 独特の美しい絵に惹かれ読み始めるとたちまち世界観に引き込まれる。子どもの頃に憧れたアラビアンなファンタジー。冒頭にあるアードルテとアーダルテは、6巻ある王国を継ぐ者の物語の長い話のうちの部分的なほんの一幕。次の話とは別の物語だったかと思いきや、時系列が飛んでいるだけで全て繋がっていく。全てはこの国の王を取り巻くお話。そして、話中に出てくる2組の双子も王の兄弟も、選ばれること選ばれないことに苦悩し、それを越えてゆく話。再読すると時系列が整理されて、一度目では分からなかった繋がりが見えてくる。この台詞は誰を指していたのかとか、こういう意味だったのか……と改めて気付きがあって心が震える。絵もストーリーも味わい深い。何度読んでも美しい世界観に浸ることができる。出会えてよかった作品。

  This review contains spoilers. I'm drawn to the unique, beautiful pictures, and as soon as I start reading them, I'm drawn into the worldview. An Arabian fantasy I admired when I was a kid. Adolte and Adarte at the beginning is just a partial scene in the 6-volume long story of The Heir to the Kingdom. I thought it was a different story from the next one, but they all connected just by the time series flying. All stories surround the king of this country. Then, it's a story where both the two groups of twins and the king's siblings that appear in the story are distressed about being chosen and not being chosen, and they go beyond that. When you reread it, the time series is organized, and you can see connections that you didn't understand the first time. My heart trembles when I notice once again who this line was referring to, or what it meant... Both the pictures and the story are fascinating. You can immerse yourself in a beautiful view of the world no matter how many times you read it. It's a work I'm glad I came across.

  難しい、読むたびに答えが変わる？
  Difficult, does the answer change every time you read it?
  たった今、１度目を読み終えたばかり。繰り返す物語？？を埋める為にこれからも何度も読むことでしょう何度読んでも1度目になるかもしれないシンプルな線が印象強い、サロメがよぎります人生に一度は手にしたい物語

  I just finished reading it for the first time. A story that repeats itself?? I'll be reading it over and over again to fill it up. No matter how many times I read it, the simple lines are impressive, and Salome crosses the story I want to get my hands on at least once in my life

  壮大な物語
  An epic story
  作者さん買いです。ああ…終わってしまった。中村明日美子先生の物語はいつも美しく儚く切ない。双子の少年、アーダルテとアードルテ。一方は皇太子として育ちもう一方は自身の素性も知らずに軟禁された生活を強いられている。ある日皇太子であるアーダルテがアードルテの元を訪ねたところから一気に物語は広がる。この双子の話に終始するのではと思いきや全く別の話へと進んでいく。しかし最後は全て繋がっていたことに気付かされる。その紡がれ方は物語に登場する古の「馬」の飛行路のように鮮やかで壮大。愛情、愛憎、憐憫、恋情、絶望、希望、繁栄、衰退、綺麗も汚いも慈悲も残酷さも全て詰め込まれているのに引き算の美学が冴え渡っているからセリフも描写もまったくごちゃついていない。本当に素晴らしい作品。決して幸せな話ではないけれど読むことができて本当に良かった。

  The author is buying it. ah... it's over. Nakamura Asumiko sensei's stories are always beautiful, ephemeral, and sad. Adarte and Adolte, twin boys. One was raised as the crown prince, and the other was forced to live under house arrest without knowing his own background. The story unfolds all at once when Adarte, the Crown Prince, visits Adolte one day. I thought it would be about these twins from beginning to end, but it moved on to a completely different story. However, it makes me realize that everything was connected at the end. The way it is spun is as vivid and grand as the flight path of the old “horse” that appears in the story. Love, hate, mercy, romance, despair, hope, prosperity, decline, beauty, filthy, mercy, and cruelty are all packed in, yet the aesthetics of subtraction are clear, so there are no messy lines or descriptions at all. Really great work. It's definitely not a happy story, but I'm really glad I was able to read it.
