  面白かったです
  That was interesting
  This review contains spoilers. 同性婚が養子縁組で？！養子？？とはじめ驚きましたが、知らないことも多く、また問題提起だけでなく、ある意味で解決策としてでていて、面白かったです。冒頭にもありましたが、何より明るく、楽しく、軽く読めるのでとても良いです。戸籍は、中々普段使わない上に表にでないせいか、時々夫婦別姓の話にも出てくる問題等も見受けられて、改めて社会の変化に対応しにくい制度なのかなと思ってしまいました。運用面のコストとか、少数派だからと対応しないと、悪用との区別、判断ががつかないので、余計危ないのではと思います。何もかも思い通りになんてならないことは分かっていても、描かれているお二人や、同じ思いを感じる方がある程度納得して、幸せに暮らせる社会であると良いなと思いました。

I was surprised at first, but there were many things I didn't know, and they not only raised issues, but also came up as solutions in a sense, which was interesting. It was at the beginning, but above all, it's bright, fun, and easy to read, so it's very good. The family register is a system that is difficult to respond to social changes once again, probably because it is not usually used and is not on the table, and issues that sometimes come up in stories about married couples with different surnames have also been seen. If you don't deal with operational costs or because you're in the minority, you won't be able to distinguish or judge it from misuse, so I think it's extra dangerous. Even though I knew that everything wouldn't turn out the way I wanted, I thought it would be nice if the two people depicted and those who felt the same feelings were convinced to some extent, and live happily.

  This review contains spoilers. マンガのような養子縁組ならよいのですが実際上は借金のがれの名前変更が多く大変です。多くの人に夢が与えられ価値観の多様性が感じられ面白いです。

  This review contains spoilers. Adoption like in a manga would be fine, but in reality, there are many name changes due to debt and it is difficult. Many people are given dreams, and it's interesting to feel the diversity of values.

  こういう人も多いのかな？
  I wonder if there are many people like this?
  This review contains spoilers. LGBTやらダイバーシティやらが声高に叫ばれる昨今、世間に特にカミングアウトせずに静かに夫夫生活を送るおふたりの話です。大変なことはきっとあるのでしょうが、仲が良くて羨ましい限りです。

  This review contains spoilers. It's a story about two people living a quiet life as husband and husband without coming out in particular to the world these days when LGBT and diversity are being shouted out loud. It must be difficult, but they are on good terms and I'm envious.
