  切なくも尊い初恋
  A sad but precious first love
  This review contains spoilers. 優しくて心細やかな男の子ワタルの初恋のお話。ワタルの幼馴染の2人、初恋相手の長田先生、担任の先生、司書の佐藤先生、みんな心優しい良い人ばかり。ワタルがまだそれが恋とは認識できずに戸惑い、やがて恋だと自覚するも告白することもなく密かに失恋。悲しみを誰にも打ち明けずにむりやりに胸にしまう。それでも梅雨時の雨と優しい周囲の人たちがそっと寄り添ってくれます。心情や登場人物たちの人となり、そして雨、虹、ひとつひとつの描写が繊細で心に響く。攻×受だの胸キュンだの当て馬だのイチャラブだの、普段BLに求めているあれやこれやがどうでも良くなるほどに尊い物語です。まるで昔の自分の初恋を思い出すような、そんなノスタルジーをみなさんもぜひ味わってください。

  This review contains spoilers. A story about Wataru's first love, a kind and meticulous boy. Wataru's two childhood friends, his first love partner, Mr. Nagata, his homeroom teacher, and Mr. Sato, the librarian, are all kind-hearted and kind people. Wataru was confused because she still couldn't recognize it as love, and eventually she was secretly heartbroken without realizing or confessing that it was love. I don't confide my sorrow to anyone and put it uncontrollably in my heart. Even so, the rain during the rainy season and the kind people around me gently snuggle up to me. The feelings and characters become people, and each depiction of rain and rainbow is delicate and resonates with the heart. It's such a precious story that it doesn't matter what you usually look for in BL: Attack x Receive, Punch, Hitting Horse, Flirtatious Love. Please enjoy this nostalgia that will make you remember your first love in the olden days.

  切ない初恋
  Sad First Love
  This review contains spoilers. 図書委員の亙はお休みしている司書の先生の代わりに来た長田先生と仲良くなり、長田先生に対する淡い気持ちに気付きます。でもある日長田先生が結婚した事を知り亙の初恋はきちんと自覚する前に終わりを告げてしまいます。切ない初恋を通して少し成長するお話です。亙の幼馴染達が本当にいい子で、亙に寄り添って、でも無理強いしたりしない。先生達もみんな優しくて亙を見守っています。卒業式の時の亙の顔が最初の頃より少し大人びて見えました。

  This review contains spoilers. Wataru, a member of the library committee, became good friends with Mr. Osada, who came in place of his librarian teacher who was taking a day off, and he noticed his dismissive feelings towards Mr. Osada. But one day, I learned that Nagata sensei had gotten married, and Wataru's first love came to an end before he was properly aware of it. It's a story about growing up a little through a sad first love. Wataru's childhood friends are really nice kids, and they snuggle up to Wataru, but they don't force him. The teachers are all kind and watch over Wataru. Wataru's face at the graduation ceremony looked slightly older than at the beginning.

  素敵！優しくて心が暖かくなるストーリー
  nice! A gentle and heartwarming story
  絵も可愛くて、絵の印象そのままのとても優しいお話本当に読んで良かった。殺伐としたニュースが多い中、この作品の先生はどなたも包容力があってとても優しい。何か感動してじんわり涙が滲みました。この作家先生の作品をもっと読みたいと思います。本当にいい!とても優しい気持ちになる。何度も繰り返しになるけど優しくてとても感動してしまった。だんべえ先生は心が美しい方なんだと思いました。紙の本で入手できないかな？ずっと側に置いて宝物にしたい作品でした。

  The pictures are cute, and I'm really glad I read a very kind story with the same impression of the picture. While there is a lot of outrageous news, all of the teachers in this work are tolerant and very kind. I was moved by something and slowly burst into tears. I would like to read more of this writer's work. really nice! It makes me feel so kind. It was repeated over and over again, but I was very moved by how kind they were. I thought Danbee-sensei was a person with a beautiful heart. I wonder if I can get them in paper books? It was a work I wanted to keep by my side for a long time and keep it as a treasure.
