  人生のあり方としての自由
  Freedom as a way of life
  This review contains spoilers. 女性ジャンル。アセクシャルのゆり子さんとゲイの岳朗太さんが偽装結婚したところから始まるお話。ゆり子さんは腐女子だし岳朗太さんの片想い相手は幼馴染のイケメン庭師だし、作者さまの他作品も素晴らしかったので何となくの思い付きで買った本を棚から引っ張り出し（画面ポチポチして）読み始めたのですが、想像以上に様々な立場からの、人生と自由についてのお話でした。すごいな、この作品でもまた、めちゃくちゃ考えさせられた。アセクシャルにもゲイにもバイにもヘテロにも、自分はフラットな人間であると、無神経にも思い上がっていたのではないだろうか、理解のある振りをして型にはめて見ていたのではないだろうかと。そう考えるととても恐ろしい。岳朗太さんの生き方はそれでいいのか。ゆり子さんの生き方はそれでいいのか。いいも悪いも、決まった答えなんて無いんでしょうね。誰かの正解は誰かの不正解で、自分の正解は自分のものなのだから。ゆり子さんの言う命綱の話と、ゆり子さんの友人・桃くんとの会話は全ての言葉が刺さりました。家のことについても、二人が二人らしく生きる選択をしたのですね。ここ数日なんだか作品に集中出来なかったのですが、すごくのめり込んで読めました。描き下ろし「桃くんの英国滞在記」は、とても素敵な６ページ。癒されました。好きぃぃ。

  This review contains spoilers. Female genre. The story begins where the asexual Yuriko and gay Gaku Rota get married in disguise. Yuriko is a rotten girl, and Dake Rota's unrequited love partner is her childhood friend, a handsome gardener, and the author's other works were also wonderful, so I pulled the book I had bought with some idea from the shelf (poking the screen) and started reading it, but it was a story about life and freedom from various positions more than I had imagined. That's amazing, this work also made me think a lot. Whether asexual, gay, bi, or hetero, I think they were insensitive to the fact that they were flat people, and they probably looked at it in a stereotypical way by pretending they had understanding. It's so scary to think about it. Is that OK for Gaku Rota's way of life? Is that OK for Yuriko's way of life? There's probably no fixed answer for good or bad. This is because someone's right answer is someone else's wrong answer, and my own right answer is my own. Every word stuck between Yuriko's story about Lifeline and her conversation with Yuriko's friend Momo-kun. As for the house, the two of them chose to live like two, didn't they? Somehow I haven't been able to concentrate on the work for the past few days, but I was really immersed in reading it. The illustrated “Momo-kun's Record of Staying in England” has 6 very nice pages. I was healed. I like it.

  ステキな夫婦
  A wonderful couple
  幸せは人それぞれ。誰かが決めるもんじゃないんだから家族愛の形も色々だなって思いました。子供がいて男女の夫婦でもこの2人ほど思い合えているかはわからない。同姓同士で性愛もなくお互いを大事にしている家族もあるだろうし歳の差があるとかもあるかもしれない。他者からはどう思われても幸せは自分で決めたらいいって思えるお話でした。素敵なご夫婦。

  Happiness is different for each person. It's not something that anyone decides, so I thought there are many forms of family love. I don't know if a male and female couple who have children are as compatible as these two people. There are probably families with the same surname who have no sexual love and take care of each other, and there may also be an age difference. It was a story that made me think I should decide my own happiness no matter what others thought of me. A wonderful couple.

  はたと周りをながめる機会をくれる作品
  A work that gives me an opportunity to look at my surroundings
  泡が丸を描くように一番安定する形をとろうとすることが自然の営みだとすると、雄と雌がいて繁殖するための機能がぴったりと納まる生物的番としての安定。そして、心と心が寄り添い丸を描くことで安定することに何故NGが出るのであろうか。と、目に見えないレールを知らず知らず歩いている自分に途中下車させてくれる作品に出会いました。

  If trying to take the most stable shape so that bubbles draw a circle is a natural activity, it is stable as a biological group where the function for male and female reproduction fits perfectly. Also, why is there an NG in stabilizing by drawing a circle where the heart and mind are snuggling up? I came across a work that made me get off the train while walking unknowingly on an invisible rail.
