『ぜんこわ』3巻を読んでいて、直井がとても可愛いなと感じた。

ハンバーガーショップで来未がポテトを食べるシーンの時に見せた直井の表情。あれ、とっても可愛くないですか？

来未の思いもよらない言葉に直井が笑いを堪えられなかった時の表情。直井の素の部分を垣間見た気がして。個人的に好きなシーンなんですよね。多くの方は来未と直井がホテルの鏡を粉砕するシーンや来未が直井に2人暮らしを提案するシーンを1番に推すのかなと感じた。

直井の優しい一面・正義感溢れる一面・楽しそうな一面・面倒見の良い一面などを垣間見ることができる1冊に仕上がっていたと思う。直井のバックボーンについて掘り下げられていた。

そして、忘れちゃいけないのが1人ぼっちを嫌う寂しがりな一面。

直井は孤独を誰より嫌う優しい女の子かつ作中屈指の常識人ではないだろうか。

常識人と言っても、直井が来未に対して行った行為は許されるものではないと思うけど…

直井が1人ぼっちを嫌がっているのは眠っている来未に対し、来未から離れられなくなっていることを吐露したシーンからも察することができる。来未も1人ぼっちだと言った時の直井の言葉に重みがあった。来未と一緒にいられる嬉しさと同時に弱さや寂しさも直井の表情から滲み出ていた。

直井が2人暮らしを行うための方法について模索する様子から、「2人暮らしをしないか」という来未の提案は直井を喜ばせていたと察することができる。少なくとも、現状を変えるために悪くない選択肢だと直井は感じていたのかもしれない。そうでなければ、2人暮らしの費用について調べるはずがない。2人暮らしを直井に提案する来未がシンプルに可愛いのも見どころだ。高校卒業後のプランを提案した時の来未、可愛くなかったですか？照れながら、一緒に暮らさないかと直井に提案する来未が本当に可愛い…

直井が1人ぼっちを嫌がっていると感じさせるシーンはもう1つある。それは直井が父親から母親を守っていた時のエピソード。父親に火傷を負わされながらも母親を守ろうとした直井に待ち受けていたのは母親が妹を連れてどこかへ行ったという現実だ。直井にとって、あまりにも辛すぎる。心と体に一生残る傷痕を残したにも関わらず、直井の献身が報われることがないって…

母親のことを語っていた時の直井はとてもとても苦しそうだった。とてもとても悲しそうだった。直井が過去を吐露するシーンを読んでいると、胸を締め付けられる。辛すぎるという言葉が頭の中を渦巻く。

人によって、感じ方が違うかもしれないけど、家族と接する時間は安らぎを感じさせる。親から愛情を受けた時、自分は愛されている・必要とされているなどの感情を抱く。大切な家族に笑顔でいて欲しいから・幸せになって欲しいからできる限りのことをする。何をするかは人それぞれだ。

直井と来未はよく似ている。父親の暴力から母親と妹を守り続けた直井。母親の期待に応え続け、優等生を演じた来未。壊れた家庭環境が原因で直井と来未の心はズタズタになった。くじ引き堂の描き下ろしイラストからも直井と来未が似た者同士であることを察することができるのではないだろうか。似た者同士だと察したイラストは鏡が描かれたイラスト。描き下ろしイラストが上位賞以外にも採用されているのにビックリした。

直井が見返りなんて求めていなかったとか言っていたけど、それに対して思ったことがある。

そんなわけない。直井は母親からの愛情を求めていたのだろう。父親の暴力から母親と妹を守ることで「ありがとう」などの感謝の言葉を得ようとしたのではないだろうか。自己犠牲を払いつつ、直井は母親から見返りを求めようとしていた。妹に頼られたいといった気持ちも直井の心にあったのかもしれないけど。

直井の母親と妹が直井を置いて失踪したのは直井にとって裏切り行為。直井からしてみれば、「あれだけ犠牲を払ったのにどうして自分の目の前からいなくなるんだ」という想いでいっぱいだったのでしょう。だからこそ、直井は信じていた母親と妹を憎む。直井が妹のことを大好きだったのは『ぜんこわ』3巻の描き下ろしエピソードで描かれていた。直井にとって、母親と妹は大きな存在だったということが『ぜんこわ』3巻を通して分かる。そして、直井は1人ぼっちになる辛さをよく理解している女の子だということも。信じていた人に裏切られることがどれだけ辛いことか直井のエピソードで実感できる。

来未の問題行動があったとはいえ、来未の母親が実家に帰った行為も来未にとって一種の裏切り行為だと私は考えている。あれだけ来未を追い詰めておきながら、都合が悪くなったら現実から逃げる来未の母親。とてもズルい。来未の母親は一度の過ちで完璧を求めすぎた結果、自身を追い詰めていた一面がある。来未の母親に刻まれた傷跡が生々しい。こんな環境だと、来未の精神が摩耗していくのも無理はない。来未は期待に応えるため、優等生を演じ続けたというのに…ソファで休む来未が母親の幻影を感じた様子から、来未の心を母親の存在が支配し続けていたのを察した。来未は勉強だけでなく、普段の生活習慣についても咎められていたのだろう。来未の母親はカップラーメンのような食べ物を来未が食べることを許していなかったのかな。

辛い日々を過ごしてきた直井と来未がホテルの鏡を粉々に粉砕する姿はどこか晴れ晴れとしていた。2人が分かり合えた瞬間なんだなということを実感できる。

新キャラクターの工藤が登場したのも『ぜんこわ』3巻の見どころ。工藤も他のキャラクター達に負けず劣らずのヤバいキャラクターだった。小学校時代の工藤は大人達の前だと良い子ぶって、大人達がいない時に気に入らない人間をいじめていたのではないかと私は考えている。何のために工藤が直井に近づいたのかと思ったら、とんでもない理由でしたね。

工藤は来未のことが気に入らないのが分かった。本編の内容に加え、カバー裏の漫画からもそれを察することができた。

工藤は快楽を与えてくれる直井を手放したくないのでしょう。おそらく、いじめを行っていた工藤は直井に咎められた後、1人ぼっちになったのかもしれない。いじめのターゲットになる可能性があることに加え、直井によって面子を潰された工藤に近づきたいと思う人間は中々いないような気がした。直井が咎める前まで工藤の独壇場だったのだろう。

工藤の行動から犠牲と見返りを察することができる。工藤はお金に困っている直井に対し、お金を払う代わりに工藤の心身を傷つけて欲しいと直井にお願いしていた。『ぜんこわ』の話を追っていくうえで「見返り」は1つのキーワードになるのかなと私は考えている。見返りを求める愛。見返りを求めない愛。2つの愛は大きく異なる。多くの人間は何かしらの見返りを求めているのかもしれない。私も決して清廉潔白な人間とは言えない。

工藤の直井を独占したい気持ちについても描かれていましたね。工藤が大金を払ってでも直井との関係を保とうとする描写やカバー裏の漫画を見れば明らかでしょう。カバー裏の漫画では、保育園の園長になった工藤が園児になった直井を独り占めしようするシーンが描かれていた。正直、そこまでやるかと思った。それと同時に過去の出来事を思い出した。

私がいとこの家に遊びに行っていた時、いとこの友人が私のいとこを独り占めしようとする様子を見せたこと。いとこの友人の存在があったせいか、私はいとこの家に行くのが億劫になった面もある。いつ行っても、いとこの友人にその場を壊されるかもしれない。いとこの友人の顔を思い出すたび、良い思い出がなかったなと感じてしまう。

保育園の園長になった工藤が来未と直井を引き離す行為はあまり褒められたものではないと思う。人間関係に大きな影響を与える可能性がある。私にも非があると思うけど、私といとこの距離感はあまりにも大きなものになった。正直、いつ行っても、あの子が来るんでしょという思いはないとは言えない。多分、いとこの友人と一生会うことはないでしょう。塾が一緒になった時も「マジかよ」と感じた。いとこの友人が塾をやめた時、私は内心喜んでいた気がしてならない。こういうところは私のダメな一面なんですよね。正直、気まずかった。どうしようと思った。向こうも同じこと思っていたのかもしれないですが。今でも、いとことの距離が近ければ、もっと違う未来があったのかと考えることもある。そう思った理由についてはセンシティブな内容なので、絶対に言わないですが。

話が思いもよらない方向に行ったので、『ぜんこわ』の話に戻しましょう。

カバー裏の漫画では、直井が来未を独り占めしたい様子についても描かれていましたね。来未を助けるために園児になった直井はいたずらを行う。来未が直井に注意しに行けば、心達のしがらみから来未は解放される。来未は周囲の期待などに追い詰められていたことを察することができる漫画になっていたのではないだろうか。来未を助ける直井が正直可愛かった…直井は可愛い女の子なんですよ。直井がよくできた女の子だからこそ、直井の母親は正面から直井と向き合うことができなかったのだろう。直井に的を得た言葉を言われるのが怖いから、直井の母親は直井から逃げた。

こちらはメロンブックスで『ぜんこわ』3巻を購入した時に付いてきたリーフレット。ハンバーガーショップでの出来事が描かれていた。直井が来未にスマイルをお願いするシーンがあった。ハンバーガーショップでは、無料でスマイルを提供している。無料とはいえ、店員にスマイルをお願いすることは果たしてプライスレスと言えるのだろうか。場合によっては、店員が気に入らない客に対してスマイルを振りまかないといけないことだってある。リーフレットの漫画も「見返り」を題材にしていると言っても良いかもしれない。来未の優等生スマイルとかいらん。直井の気持ちはすごく分かる。優等生スマイルとかおもろないねん。来未のおもろい表情を求めているんだよ。リーフレットの内容だけ見ていると、来未と直井の会話は友人同士の何気ない会話といった印象を受ける。

見返りと裏切りといえば、伊佐沼達の描写も外せない。伊佐沼は堀江に教室内での出来事を秘密にする代わりにデートの約束をしていた。断り切れなかった堀江の様子から察するに、生徒達に言えないことを堀江は行っていたのだろう。伊佐沼は秘密を守る見返りに堀江とのデートを得た。来未と直井が過ごしていた教室は最初から壊れていたし、狂っていた。堀江が伊佐沼を裏切れば、伊佐沼が教室内での出来事を伊佐沼の母親に伝えることで堀江を破滅させることだってできる。言い過ぎかもしれないけど、堀江の面子を確実に潰すことができるだろう。東が行っていた堀江の秘密もおそらく真実。良い先生を演じる堀江は相当ストレスが溜まっていたんじゃないかな。来未の行動に対し、堀江が苛立ちを覚えていたことから、ギリギリの状態だったのではないかと察した。

来未が堀江に対して大事にしたくないことを指摘するシーンは見ていて気持ちが良い。堀江が事なかれ主義なのはこれまでの話を読んでいれば察することができる。現代社会で起きているいじめ問題の多くは事なかれ主義の側面が事態をより大きなものにしているのかもしれない。堀江は肝心な時に頼りない教師といったところか。直井のことや大切な進路調査票の管理も人任せだったし。堀江はこれまで直井に何度か連絡していたのかもしれないけど。

東が伊佐沼と峰に見捨てられた様子も個人的に印象に残ったシーン。伊佐沼が来未にちょっかい出したことを堀江に言ったことは峰にとっては裏切り行為といったところでしょう。東も伊佐沼・峰と一緒に来未の悪口を言っていたことを踏まえると、峰が東に対して怒りを覚えるのも無理はない。いざという時に自分だけ逃げようとする東はズルく見えてしまう。良心の呵責に囚われているのかもしれないけど、東も来未の悪口を言っていたことに変わりはない。東はその場の雰囲気に流されやすい女の子なのかな。伊佐沼と峰から何をされるか分からない怖さと1人ぼっちになりたくないなどの想いも東が伊佐沼に加担した理由に含まれている気がした。仲間を裏切ることで1人ぼっちになることが東を通して感じることができた。伊佐沼達を見ていると、付き合う友達をよく考えないといけないと実感する。信用できると思っていた人間に裏切られることは心に大きなダメージを与える。裏切った人間は最初から友達だと思っていないのかもしれないけど。

東に対して良い人ぶっていると言った時の峰の表情が見えなかったけど、峰は東に対して憎悪を抱いていたのは確かでしょう。峰は般若のような顔になっていたに違いない。峰の表情が分からないのが怖さを引き立てる。表情をあえて見せないことで想像を搔き立てつつ、怖さや不安などを感じさせるのかなと私は思った。

後は心がヤバい。ラストにおける心の暴挙はホラーやろ…

心の頭の中で来未を追い詰めていた苦しみと来未を愛する想いと来未を独り占めしたい想いが渦巻いていた。心もまた来未を追い詰めた原因の1人なのは確か。勝手に来未の恋人宣言をしておきながら、肝心な時に来未を助けようとしなかった。それでも、心は来未のことを求め続ける。

心は相手に身勝手な一面を求める部分や1人ぼっちに対する不安を表した女の子といったところ。来未が直井と一緒にどこかに行った後、心は不安に押しつぶされようとしていた。来未が自分を置いて行ったのではないかという想いが心を支配していたのかな。

来未の家庭や直井の家庭に比べると、心の家庭は円満といった印象を受ける。心の両親は心に愛情を注いでいる。心の母親が心に店の手伝いをしないかと言って気遣うシーンからもそれを察することができた。それにしても、心の母親が作るホルモン焼きとは一体どのような味なのだろうか。久しぶりに情熱ホルモンに行きたくなった。心とホルモンで思い出したけど、ハツの焼き鳥って美味しいですよね。

心が来未に尽くそうとすればする程、心の怖さが増す。心は来未を好きになったばかりに精神を破綻させたのかなと。もしかしたら、最初から破綻していたのかもしれない。

後、まんが王の有償特典のアクリルフィギュアが可愛い…

吸血鬼に扮した来未が猫娘になった直井の血を吸っていたのかな。直井が来未に対していたずらしているような一幕だ。来未の照れた表情が魅力的。直井の攻めに来未は抵抗できないといったところか。破れたタイツが来未を彩っている。ハロウィンを感じさせるアクリルフィギュアだ。

最後に

『ぜんこわ』3巻は1人ぼっち・見返り・裏切りなどの言葉を連想させる1冊。1人ぼっちになった直井と来未が気持ちを通じ合わせ、以前に比べて距離を縮めていた。来未が直井に2人暮らしをしないかと提案するシーンは幸せを感じさせる。直井の表情などから悪くないといった感じを受けた。

どうしようもない現実や周囲の人間関係に抗いつつも、来未と直井は2人で暮らすための道を切り開いていくんだろうな。

『ぜんこわ』3巻は直井の過去について掘り下げられたのに加え、新キャラクターの工藤についても描かれていた。

表紙に描かれていた割れた鏡に工藤が映っていたことを察するに、工藤は直井を巡って来未と対立していくのだろう。工藤は直井に傷めつけられることで快楽だけでなく、自身の存在を感じているのかもしれん。

来未と直井を取り巻く人間関係や来未と直井に訪れる未来は一体どうなるのか。4巻以降の展開に期待したい。

『ぜんこわ』の単行本が何度か重版されているのに加え、くじ引き堂で『ぜんこわ』のウェブくじが発売されたことから『ぜんこわ』のファンは確実に増えているのかなと感じた。人によって感じ方が異なるのかもしれないけど、『ぜんこわ』が少しでも長く続くのなら、ファンが増えることは嬉しいなと思う。

English edition

※This English is a machine translation.※

I bought Volume 3 of "If that's love, break it.", so I decided to share my thoughts on it.

Thoughts on Volume 3 of "If that's love, break it."

When I was reading the third volume of "If that's love, break it.", I felt that Naoi was very cute.

Naoi's expression during the scene where Kurumi eats fries at the hamburger shop. Isn't that so cute?

The look on Naoi's face when she couldn't help but laugh at Kurumi's unexpected words. I felt like I got a glimpse of Naoi's true side. It's my personal favorite scene. I felt that most people would recommend the scene where Kurumi and Naoi shatter the hotel mirror and the scene where Kurumi proposes to Naoi that they live together.

I think the book was created to give a glimpse of Naoi's kind side, her righteous side, her fun side, and her caring side. Naoi's backbone was explored.

And what we must not forget is her lonely side, which hates being alone.

Naoi is a kind girl who hates loneliness more than anyone else, and is probably one of the most common-sense people in the series.

Even though she's a common sense person, I don't think what Naoi did to Kurumi is forgivable...

Naoi's dislike of being alone can be seen in the scene where she reveals to a sleeping Kurumi that she can't leave Mirai. Naoi's words had a lot of weight when she said that Kurumi was also alone. While she was happy to be with Kurumi, Naoi's expression also showed weakness and loneliness.

From the way Naoi looks for a way to live as a couple, it can be seen that Kurumi's suggestion of "Why don't we live together'' made Naoi happy. At the very least, Naoi may have felt that it was not a bad option to change the current situation. Otherwise, there would be no way to investigate the cost of living for two. Another highlight is how simple and cute Kurumi is when she proposes to Naoi that they live together. Wasn't Kurumi cute when she suggested her plans after graduating from high school? Kurumi is so cute when she shyly proposes to Naoi that they should live together…

There is another scene that makes you feel that Naoi hates being alone. That is an episode when Naoi was protecting her mother from her father. Naoi, who tried to protect his mother despite being burned by her father, was faced with the reality that his mother had taken his younger sister somewhere else.

It was too painful for Naoi. Even though Naoi's dedication left a lasting scar on her mind and body, her dedication was never rewarded...

Naoi seemed to be in a lot of pain when she was talking about her mother. She looked very, very sad. When I read the scene where Naoi reveals her past, my heart tightens. The words "too painful" swirl around in my head.

It may feel different depending on the person, but spending time with your family gives you a sense of peace. When we receive love from our parents, we feel loved and needed. I do everything I can because I want my precious family to smile and be happy. It's up to each person what they do.

Naoi and Kurumi are very similar. Naoi continued to protect her mother and younger sister from their father's violence. Kurumi continues to live up to her mother's expectations and plays the role of an honor student. Naoi and Kurumi's hearts were torn to shreds due to their broken home environment. You can probably guess that Naoi and Kurumi are similar people from Kujibikido's original illustrations. The illustration that made me think they were similar was an illustration with a mirror drawn on it. I was surprised to see that the newly drawn illustrations were also selected for other awards besides the top prizes.

Naoi said that he didn't ask for anything in return, but I have some thoughts about that.

That's not true. Naoi was probably looking for love from her mother. By protecting her mother and sister from her father's violence, she may have been trying to earn them words of gratitude, such as "thank you". While making self-sacrifice, Naoi was trying to get something in return from her mother. Naoi may have had a desire to be relied upon by her sister.

The fact that Naoi's mother and sister disappeared without Naoi was an act of betrayal for Naoi. From Naoi's point of view, she must have been filled with thoughts like, "After all the sacrifices I made, why would she disappear from right in front of my eyes?'' That's why Naoi hates her mother and sister, whom she trusted. Naoi's love for her younger sister was depicted in a newly drawn episode in volume 3 of "If that's love, break it.". Through the third volume of "If that's love, break it.", we can see that Naoi's mother and sister were very important to her. Also, Naoi is a girl who understands the pain of being alone. Naoi's episode makes you realize how painful it is to be betrayed by someone you trusted.

Even though Kurumi had some problematic behavior, I think that the act of Kurumi's mother returning to her parents' house was also a kind of betrayal for Kurumi. Kurumi's mother keeps Kurumi cornered for so long, but when things get tough, she runs away from reality. Very sneaky. Kurumi's mother has pushed herself into a corner as a result of demanding perfection due to one mistake. The scars left on Kurumi's mother are vivid. In an environment like this, it's no wonder Kurumi's spirit wears down. Kurumi continued to play the role of an honor student in order to live up to expectations...but from the way Kurumi rested on the sofa and felt the illusion of her mother, she could tell that her mother's presence continued to dominate Kurumi's heart. Kurumi was probably criticized not only for her studies but also for her daily habits. I wonder if Kurumi's mother didn't allow Kurumi to eat food like cup ramen.

The sight of Naoi and Kurumi shattering the hotel mirror into pieces after having had such a difficult time was somehow refreshing. You can feel that this is the moment when the two of you understood each other.

The appearance of the new character Kudo is also a highlight of the third volume of "If that's love, break it.". Kudo was just as dangerous as the other characters. I think that when Kudo was in elementary school, she acted like a nice kid in front of adults, but when they weren't around, she would bully people he didn't like. I was wondering why Kudo approached Naoi, but it turned out to be a ridiculous reason.

It turns out that Kudo doesn't like Kurumi. In addition to the content of the main story, I was able to infer this from the manga on the back of the cover.

Kudo probably doesn't want to let go of Naoi, who gives her pleasure. Perhaps Kudo, who was a bully, became all alone after Naoi blamed him. In addition to potentially becoming a target for bullying, it seemed like few people would want to get close to Kudo, who had lost face at the hands of Naoi. Kudo probably had the upper hand until Naoi took the blame.

We can see the sacrifice and reward from Kudo's actions. Kudo asks Naoi to hurt Kudo physically and mentally in exchange for paying Naoi, who is having trouble with money. I think that ''reward'' is a keyword when following the story of "If that's love, break it.". A love that seeks something in return. A love that doesn't ask for anything in return. The two loves are very different. Many people may be looking for something in return. I can't say I'm an honest person either.

Kudo's desire to monopolize Naoi was also depicted in the story. It's clear from the depiction of Kudo trying to maintain her relationship with Naoi, even if it means paying a lot of money, and the manga on the back of the cover. The manga on the back of the cover depicts a scene in which Kudo, who has become the head of a nursery school, tries to keep Naoi, who has now become a kindergartener, all to herself. Honestly, I thought I would go that far. At the same time, I remembered past events.

When I was visiting my cousin's house, my cousin's friend tried to monopolize my cousin. Perhaps because my cousin's friend was there, I found it difficult to go to my cousin's house. No matter when I go, my cousin's friend might destroy the place. Every time I think of my cousin's friend's face, I feel like I don't have good memories.

I don't think Kudo's act of separating Kurumi and Naoi, who became the head of the nursery school, was much praised. It can have a big impact on human relationships. I think it's my fault too, but the distance between me and my cousin has become too great. To be honest, I can't say that no matter when I go, I don't always wonder if that girl will come. I'll probably never meet my cousin's friend again. When we started going to cram school together, I thought, ''This is serious''. I can't help but feel like I was secretly happy when my cousin's friend quit cram school. This is my weak side. Honestly, it was awkward. I thought what should I do? Maybe the other person was thinking the same thing. Even now, I sometimes wonder if my future would have been different if I had been closer to my cousin. I won't say why I thought that way because it's a sensitive subject.

Now that the story has gone in an unexpected direction, let's get back to "If that's love, break it.".

The manga on the back of the cover also depicts how Naoi wants to keep Kurumi all to himself. Naoi, who became a kindergartener to help Mirai, plays pranks. If Kurumi goes to warn Naoi, Kurumi will be freed from Kokoro's bondage. I think the manga would have made it possible to see that Kurumi was cornered by the expectations of those around her. Naoi helping Kurumi was honestly cute... Naoi is a cute girl. Naoi's mother was probably unable to face him head-on because Naoi was a well-developed girl. Naoi's mother ran away from Naoi because she was afraid that Naoi would say something inappropriate.

This is the leaflet that came with the 3rd volume of "If that's love, break it." from Melonbooks. It depicts an incident at a hamburger shop. There was a scene where Naoi asked Kurumi to smile. Hamburger shops offer free smiles. Even though it's free, is it really priceless to ask the store staff to smile? In some cases, store staff may have to smile at customers they don't like. It may be fair to say that the manga in the leaflet is also based on the theme of ''reward''. I don't need Kurumi's honor student smile. I completely understand how Naoi feels. Honor student smile isn't that interesting. I'm looking for Kurumi's funny expression. If you only look at the contents of the leaflet, you get the impression that the conversation between Kurumi and Naoi is a casual conversation between friends.

Speaking of payback and betrayal, the depiction of Isanuma and her friends can't be overlooked. Isanuma had promised Horie a date in exchange for keeping what happened in the classroom a secret. Judging from Horie's inability to refuse, he must have done something that he couldn't tell his students. Isanuma gets a date with Horie in return for keeping his secret. The classroom that Kurumi and Naoi were in was broken and crazy from the beginning. If Horie betrays Isanuma, Isanuma can destroy Horie by telling Isanuma's mother what happened in the classroom. It may be an exaggeration, but it will definitely destroy Horie's face. Azuma's secret about Horie is also probably true. Horie, who plays the role of a good teacher, must have been under a lot of stress. Horie was irritated by Kurumi's actions, so I guessed that he was on the edge of his seat.

I felt good watching the scene where Kurumi points out to Horie that he doesn't want to take it seriously. If you read the stories so far, you can tell that Horie is a no-frills type. Many of the bullying problems that occur in modern society may be exacerbated by the "all is well" philosophy. Is Horie an unreliable teacher at critical times? I also had to leave Naoi's affairs and the management of the important career survey forms to others. Horie may have contacted Naoi several times before.

The scene where Azuma was abandoned by Isanuma and Mine also left an impression on me. For Mine, telling Horie that Isanuma had messed with Kurumi was an act of betrayal. Considering that Azuma also talked badly about Kurumi along with Isanuma and Mine, it's no wonder that Mine is angry with Azuma. I felt that Azuma was cheating when she tried to escape on her own in an emergency. It may be because she has a guilty conscience, but it doesn't change the fact that Azuma was also saying bad things about Kurumi. I guess Azuma is a girl who gets easily influenced by the atmosphere of the place. I feel like Azuma's fear of not knowing what Isanuma and Mine will do to him and not wanting to be alone are also part of the reason why she joined Isanuma. Through Azuma, I could feel that she was left alone by betraying his friends. Watching Isanuma and the others makes me realize that I need to think carefully about the friends I make. Being betrayed by someone you thought you could trust causes great emotional damage. The person who betrayed you may not have considered you a friend from the beginning.

I couldn't see the look on Mine's face when I told Azuma that she was a nice person, but I'm sure Mine had hatred towards Azuma. Mine must have looked like a demon. Not being able to see Mine's facial expressions makes it even scarier. I thought that by deliberately not showing facial expressions, she stirred up the imagination and gave a sense of fear and anxiety.

After that, Kokoro is awesome. Kokoro's outrage at the end is horror...

Inside Kokoro's head, the pain that was driving Kurumi into a corner, the feelings of love for Kurumi, and the desire to monopolize the future were swirling around. Kokoro is certainly one of the reasons why Kurumi was cornered. Even though he declared himself Kurumi's lover without permission, she didn't try to help Kurumi at the critical moment. Still, Kokoro continues to seek Kurumi.

Kokoro is a girl who expresses her selfish side in others and her anxiety about being alone. After Kurumi went somewhere with Naoi, Kokoro was about to be overwhelmed by anxiety. Maybe the thought that Kurumi had left her took over her mind.

Compared to Kurumi's family and Naoi's family, Kokoro's family gives the impression of being harmonious. Parents of the heart pour love into the heart. I could see this in the scene where Kokoro's mother asks Kokoro to help out at the store. By the way, what kind of flavor does Kokoro's mother make grilled hormones taste like? It's been a while since I've wanted to go to JONETSU HORUMON. I remember Kokoro and hormones, but yakitori made with chicken hearts is delicious.

The more Kokoro tries to help Kurumi, the more scary Kokoro becomes. I think Kokoro had a mental breakdown just because she fell in love with Kurumi. Maybe it was doomed from the beginning.

Also, the acrylic figures that come with MANGAOH as a paid bonus are cute...

I wonder if Kurumi, who was disguised as a vampire, was sucking Naoi's blood when she became a cat girl. It's like Naoi is playing a prank on Kurumi. Kurumi's shy expression is attractive. It's like Kurumi can't resist Naoi's attacks. Torn tights decorate Kurumi. It's an acrylic figure that makes you feel like Halloween.

※JONETSU HORUMON

JONETSU HORUMON is a Japanese yakiniku restaurant that focuses on hormones.

Lastly

Volume 3 of "If that's love, break it." is a book that evokes words such as "alone'', "reward'', and betrayal. Naoi and Kurumi, who were left alone, communicated their feelings and became closer than before. The scene where Kurumi proposes to Naoi that the two of them live together makes me feel happy. I got the feeling from Naoi's expression that it wasn't that bad.

I think Kurumi and Naoi will carve out a way for them to live together while fighting against the hopeless reality and the relationships between people around them.

In addition to delving into Naoi's past, Volume 3 of "If that's love, break it." also featured a new character, Kudo.

Judging from the fact that Kudo was reflected in the broken mirror depicted on the cover, Kudo will likely be at odds with Kurumi over Naoi. Kudo may not only derive pleasure from being hurt by Naoi, but also feel his own existence.

What will happen to the relationships surrounding Kurumi and Naoi, and Kurumi and Kurumi who visits Naoi? I look forward to the developments in Volume 4 and beyond.

In addition to the fact that the book "If that's love, break it." has been reprinted several times, the "If that's love, break it." web lottery has been released at Kujibikido, so I feel that the number of "If that's love, break it." fans are definitely increasing. Ta. It may feel different depending on the person, but if "If that's love, break it." continues for even a little while longer, I think I'll be happy to see the number of fans increase.
