  とにかく良い、心に染みます
  Anyway, it's good, it seeps into my heart
  毎日馬車馬の様に働いてて辛くても、この連載が終わるまでは生きなきゃ！と思ってましたが、次の6巻で終わるとのこと。残念だけど、次巻が楽しみでしかない。けいとも、あやさんも、いろいろ苦労してきたけど、今は自分の幸せのために一生懸命生きてて、いい話だなぁと毎回胸をぎゅっと掴まれます。5巻最後のシーンは、びっくりして声出ました。2人の人生はもっと昔に交差していたのかと。早く続きが読みたいけど、終わってほしくない。そんな素敵な漫画に出会えて良かった！

  Even if it's hard working like a horse-drawn carriage every day, I have to live until this series is over! I thought it would end with the next 6 volumes. Unfortunately, I can't help but look forward to the next volume. Keitomo and Aya have also gone through a lot of hardships, but now they are living hard for their own happiness, and I get a tight grip on my heart every time that it's a good story. I was surprised and made a voice in the last scene of volume 5. I wonder if their lives intersected a long time ago. I want to read more soon, but I don't want them to finish. I'm glad I came across such a wonderful comic!

  5巻読みました
  I read volume 5
  This review contains spoilers. おぉ‼最後にちびっこけいとと若いあやさんが繋がった‼5巻は1冊けいとのお話でした。親はまるっと子どもを受け入れることが当たり前だと思っていたので…子どもの頃のけいとが母親に「恥ずかしい」と言われてどれだけショックだっただろうと思うと悲しかったです…年老いた母親から謝罪があってよかった…ロンとボブもすごく可愛くて…癒されました。

  This review contains spoilers. Oh ‼ Little Keito and young Aya were connected at the end ‼ volume 5 was a story about volume 1 of Keito. Parents took it for granted that they would take their whole child for granted... I was sad to think how shocked Keito was when she was a child was “embarrassed” by her mother... I'm glad I received an apology from my old mother... Ron and Bob were also so cute... I was healed.

  スゴイ漫画です。けれど、日常感もある。
  This is an amazing comic. However, it also has a sense of everyday life.
  １巻読了。ユミ子さんの話が衝撃すぎて・・。おばちゃんの雑草チーム、イイナと思いました。面白いですが、続巻購入は迷います。お値段が・・。

  I've read volume 1. Yumiko's story was so shocking... I thought my aunt's weed team was good. It's interesting, but I'm hesitant to buy the next volume. The price is...
