  This review contains spoilers. 【何か】に理由をこじつけ、逃げ道を探してばかりいる人間の心の脆さをヒシヒシと感じる物語でした。作者あきさんはこういう表現が素晴らしいですね。

  This review contains spoilers. It was a story where I felt the fragility of the heart of a person who was only looking for a way out, by puzzling the reason into [something]. The author, Aki, has wonderful expressions like this.

  男同士の嫉妬と、人の認識の脆弱さ
  Jealousy between men and the fragility of people's perceptions
  This review contains spoilers. 紙でも持っているのですが、電子でも欲しくなり購入。あき先生の本として初めて購入し、ファンになってしまった作品です。見える人間と見えない人間、自分の持ちえないものに憧れ嫉妬する感情と友情が鬩ぎあう。天使というファンタジー要素を要因に非常に人間臭い作品に仕上がっていて大好きです。友人同士2人で回したプロジェクトで功績をあげ上司と部下になってしまったら、素直に弱みを言えない関係になるのはどの時代でも一緒だと思います。それに加え、天使にその気は一切ないのに「天使に愛されるのなら良き王になるだろう」とか「同じ天使が見えているなら血のつながりがあるのではないか」とか……人は如何にして物事を見て「こうだろう」と決めつけ行動してしまいすれ違う……というのをまざまざと描写されていて。歯がゆく感じる一方で納得もするというか。非常に映画・舞台的で、静かなお話です。人によっては退屈に感じるかもしれませんが、静かな物語・人間臭い感情の描写が好きな方は是非。

  This review contains spoilers. I also have it in paper, but I wanted an electronic one, so I bought it. This is Aki sensei's first book that I bought, and I've become a fan of it. People who can see and people who can't see, and the feelings of longing and jealousy for what they don't have and friendship go hand in hand. I love it because the fantasy element called an angel makes it a very human-smelling work. I think it's the same in any era that if two friends make achievements on a project they run with each other and end up being a boss and subordinate, a relationship where you can't honestly say your weaknesses. In addition to that, even though angels don't feel like that at all, “if they are loved by angels, they'll be a good king” or “if the same angels are visible, there may be a blood connection”... how people look at things, decide “it's probably like this,” and they pass by each other... While my teeth are getting itchy, I'm also convinced. It's a very cinematic, theatrical, and quiet story. Some people may find it boring, but if you like quiet stories and depictions of human-smelling emotions, don't miss it.
