My Brother’s Husband

A manga about a single Japanese father who’s visited by his late brother’s Canadian husband.

We’ve discuss this series on an older episode.

Love this series. Kana’s immediate acceptance of Mike is contrasted so well with Yaichi ignorance. As Yaichi begins to understand his brother-in-law it allows him to reconnect with his deceased twin brother as well. It’s all so heartwarming.

This manga might seem really basic with it’s LGBTQ+ themes but that’s because this it’s meant to be an introduction into the world of LGBTQ+. I’m so happy Gengaroh Tagame won the Eisner award for this book as recognition for the issues it addressed.

Highly recommended and it’s available from Pantheon Graphic Library.
