My Brother's Husband, Volume 1 by Gengoroh Tagame

My Brother's Husband, Volume 1 by Gengoroh Tagame

The first volume of the acclaimed global sensation, from one of Japan's most notable manga artists: Yaichi is a work-at-home suburban dad in contemporary Tokyo; formerly married to Natsuki, and father to their young daughter, Kana. Their lives suddenly change with the arrival at their doorstep of a hulking, affable Canadian named Mike Flanagan, who declares himself to be the widower of Yaichi's estranged gay twin, Ryoji.

Mike is on a quest to explore Ryoji's past, and the family reluctantly but dutifully takes him in. What follows is an unprecedented and heartbreaking look at the state of a largely still-closeted Japanese gay culture: how it's been affected by the West, and how the next generation can change the preconceptions about it and prejudices against it.

(Please note: This book is a traditional work of manga, and reads back to front and right to left.)

One of the most well-known manga artists in the world is Gengoroh Tagame. He's already been named alongside Tom of Finland. Together with his illustrations, Tom of Finland's work appears like something out of Disney, according to art journal 032c. His ornate artworks are adored by fans all around the world for their macho sexiness. Bruno Gmunder publishes his third volume in the Gay Manga series in English, following Endless Game and Gunji. Fisherman's Lodge is a gay manga series that includes the short pieces Confession and Finish Line.
