"Originally published as Otōto no Otto by Futabasha Publishers Ltd., Tokyo, in 2014"--Title page verso.
Reads from right to left.
Yaichi is a work-at-home suburban dad in contemporary Tokyo; formerly married to Natsuki, 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 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.

Great book submitted by shanny1974 on June 19, 2018, 12:38pm My Brother's Husband is a wonderful book. It is about a Japanese man who's brother has recently passed away and his brother's husband visits and the main character learns new attitudes towards the widow.

Very sweet submitted by lexinylander on August 7, 2018, 8:24pm I loved this way way way more than I thought I would, which is always pleasant. The art was awesome and I thought it handled the revelation and resolution of some sticky homophobic thinking in an easily accessible way. Plus, I just really enjoy slice of life things that deal with family dynamics and this was perfect!
