  秀逸なタイトル
  An excellent title
  This review contains spoilers. 聖書の「創世記」イヴに見立てたロマンあるタイトルがいい。心に様々な人格が生み出された解離性同一症の男と、彼の中のひとりを好きになった男の話。人格統合の際にお別れをするという、この病状では見慣れた展開のストーリーだが、BLとしての話構成も台詞も良くて上下あっという間に読み終えた。人格交代した見た目も、精神的にどうゆう状況なのかも分かりやすくて、えちも写実的で複雑な2人の心情描写が切なくて良かった。

  This review contains spoilers. I want a romantic title that is likened to “Genesis” Eve in the Bible. A story about a man with dissociative identity who developed various personalities in his mind, and a man who fell in love with one of them. It's a story with a familiar development in this medical condition, where people say goodbye during personality integration, but the story structure and dialogue as BL were good, and I finished reading it up and down in a blink of an eye. It was easy to understand how their personalities had changed and what kind of mental situation they were in, and I'm glad that the realistic and complicated emotional depiction of the two was not sad.

  人間の孤独を描いた物語
  A story about human loneliness
  タイトルが旧約聖書のアダムの肋骨から来ているとすると、もともと1つだった存在への憧れ、どうしようもなく惹かれる関係性、欠けたものを相手で埋めようとする感覚でが想起されます。どこからが愛でどこからが依存なのかわからない曖昧さも、この作品の魅力です。本来の聖書では、肋骨=補い合う関係と言う文脈ですが、この作品ではもともと1つだったのに戻れない、だから執着するというニュアンスが強く出ています。それと相手がいないと成立しない自分への怖さも。どちらがアダムでどちらが肋骨なのか。それともどちらとも欠けているものを抱えていて、寂しさや孤独や辛さといった負の感情が共鳴しているのか…。肋骨=失った一部だとすると、相手はただの恋人じゃなくて、自分を成立させるためのパーツでもあります。そこからくる執着ややるせなさが、この作品に映画のような陰影を与えています。愛情と依存の境目が曖昧で、だからこそあの苦しさや色気が出ているんですね。

  If the title comes from Adam's rib in the Old Testament, it reminds me of a longing for existence that was originally one, a relationship where people are helplessly attracted, and the feeling of trying to fill in what is missing with their partner. The vagueness of not knowing where love comes from and where dependency comes from is also an appeal of this work. In the original Bible, it is a context where ribs = complementary relationships, but in this work, there is a strong nuance that they cannot go back to being one, so they are obsessed. Also, I'm afraid of myself that I wouldn't be able to make it without a partner. Which one is Adam and which one is a rib? Or do they both have something lacking, and negative feelings such as loneliness, loneliness, and pain resonate... If a rib = a lost part, your partner isn't just a lover, it's also a part to establish yourself. The obsession and reluctance that comes from there give this film a cinematic shadow. The line between love and dependency is vague, and that's why that pain and sex appeal come out.

  2巻でしっかり上手く纏まっている‼️
  It's well organized in 2 volumes ‼️
  難しい題材を丁寧に無理なく描かれていた。どんな人格でも元は主人格の性格なんだから、全員同じで全員が個性で私的には一人の人間に見えたな。人って色んな一面があるからね。後はえろえろが見え見え?✨で、大人版だったっけと驚きました??色んな意味で満足??

  Difficult subjects were drawn carefully and without difficulty. Any personality is originally the personality of the main character, so everyone was the same, everyone had their own personality, and it seemed like a single person in private. That's because people have many facets. can you see eroero after that? ✨ and I was surprised that it was an adult version?? satisfied in many ways??
