  今の世界が知るべき不滅のSF小説漫画
  Immortal sci-fi comics that the world should know today
  ‥になるのではと思います。まだ連載中なのでお話は終わっていませんが。終末を週末に引っ掛けたベタでお気楽なタイトル。ツーリングの楽しさやワクワク感(私は何も運転できないので実はよくわかりませんが)。あまりに元気で明るすぎるヨーコちゃんのキャラなどが際立っていて楽しく読めてしまいますが、実はこれは胸が締め付けられるほど悲しくて辛くて苦しい現実と気持ちが盛り込まれた素晴らしい近未来小説漫画だと思います。人と機械の境界線を超えた設定や模写、ドライな終末感や終末後の孤独感などは手塚治虫先生や小松左京先生のコンセプトにも通じますし、終末後の模写も半端なく非情です。人類の矮小さと自然の偉大さの対比は今の時代に生きる私たちに対する警告にも聞こえますし、それでも人間のポジティヴさを捨てることのないお話には勇気づけられもします。でも実は私にとって一番怖く感じるのはヨーコちゃんの存在です。この子はアイリちゃんとは違う存在なんだろうか。ヨーコちゃんの見る夢の意味は？ヨーコちゃん出生の真実は？アイリちゃんはどのように生み出されたのか？お姉ちゃんの正体は？そしてどのようにして地球は終末を迎えたのか？ジワジワと明かされていく謎に時に戦慄しながら、それでもやっぱり明るくポジティヴなヨーコちゃんと可愛いアイリちゃんに救いをもらえてる。私にとっては、ほんとにほんとに不思議で不安で楽しい、今まで出会ったことのない大好きなSF小説漫画です。

  I think it's going to be... It's still being serialized, so I haven't finished the story. It's a solid, light-hearted title that caught the end of the day over the weekend. The fun and excitement of touring (I can't drive anything, so I'm not really sure). The characters of Yoko-chan, who are so energetic and too bright, stand out, and it's fun to read, but in fact, I think this is a wonderful near-future novel comic that incorporates sad, painful, and painful realities and feelings that make my heart tighten. Settings and reproductions that cross the boundary between man and machine, and the dry sense of apocalypse and loneliness after the end of life are also common to Tezuka Osamu sensei and Komatsu Sakyo sensei's concepts, and post-apocalyptic reproductions are unusually ruthless. The contrast between the dwarfness of humans and the greatness of nature sounds like a warning to those of us living in this day and age, and even so, I am encouraged by stories that do not abandon human positivity. But actually, what scares me the most is Yoko's presence. I wonder if this kid is a different person from Airi. What is the meaning of Yoko's dream? What is the truth about Yoko's birth? How was Airi born? What is your sister's true identity? And how did the Earth come to an end? While I'm sometimes horrified by the mysteries that are being revealed so quickly, I'm still saved by Yoko, who is bright and positive, and the cute Airi. For me, it's really, really strange, unsettling, and fun, and my favorite sci-fi novel comic that I've never come across before.

  悲しく美しい草津編
  Sad and beautiful Kusatsu edition
  This review contains spoilers. 草津編は始まりから悲しい予感はありました。やっぱり‥とはなったけれど、ヨーコとアイリが身を寄せ合って迎える美しいラストは涙無くしては読めません。

  This review contains spoilers. I had a sad feeling from the beginning of the Kusatsu edition. After all, it was... but I can't read the beautiful ending, where Yoko and Airi welcome each other, without tears.

  丘を越えて行こうよ！
  Let's go over the hill!
  This review contains spoilers. 読者はヒロイン達と旅に出る、楽しい旅、哀しい旅、美味しい旅かも知れない。星空の下に眠り、糧を求め、遊び、生きることを実感するのです。

  This review contains spoilers. Readers embark on a journey with the heroines; it may be a fun trip, a sad trip, or a delicious trip. I feel like sleeping under the starry sky, seeking food, playing, and living.
