  素晴らしかった
  It was amazing
  独身の中年男性がお風呂で開いたような悟りを、動物に話させることで昇華した素晴らしい物語。吹き出しの隣の手書きの文字が、ボケでも補足でもないところが少し気になりました。

  It's a wonderful story where the enlightenment that a single middle-aged man had opened up in his bath was sublimated by having animals talk about it. I was a little concerned that the handwritten letters next to the callouts were not blurry or supplementary.

  ありそでなかった
  It wasn't obvious
  普段からグロテスクで残酷なもの、可愛くてほのぼのするもの、両極端にどっちも好きです。でも、可愛いキャラクターが残酷なものはキライな難解な読者です。そんな私から見てこちらの作品は、可愛いキャラクター達が生死の哲学を説いているような作品。難しくはなくシンプルに考えさせられる、そして心にギュッとくるものがありました。たぶん、人間をメインキャラクターにしたらここまで響かなかったと思います。そして、1冊通してお話が繋がっているのが個人的には好みでした。今時の若い方には、火の鳥を読むよりこちらの方が生死や輪廻、永遠なんてものが伝わるんじゃないか？とまで思ってしまいました。

  I usually like things that are grotesque and cruel, and things that are cute and heartwarming, to both extremes. But I'm an esoteric reader who doesn't like cute characters that are cruel. Seen from my point of view, this work is a work where cute characters explain the philosophy of life and death. It wasn't difficult, made me think simply, and something stuck in my heart. I don't think it would have resonated this far with humans as the main characters. Also, I personally liked the fact that the stories were connected throughout the book. Isn't this more conveyed to today's young people about life and death, reincarnation, and eternity than reading The Firebird? I even thought that.

  マールは、
  Marl is
  This review contains spoilers. 卵のかわりに石を温め続ける摩訶不思議なストーリーでした。ペンギン カラス ラッコと見た目が、可愛らしい動物達が出てきます。ですが、その見た目とは違って、やる事言う事が、シビアで、死について考えさせられました。

  This review contains spoilers. It was a mysterious story where stones continued to be warmed instead of eggs. Penguins, sea otters, and animals that look cute will appear. However, unlike what it looked like, the things I did and said were severe and made me think about death.
