My Brother's Husband, Volume 2

"The second and final volume of Tagame’s hugely successful manga series finds single dad Yaichi coming to accept Mike, his late twin brother’s husband. In this, he is light-years behind his own young daughter Kana, who loves Mike with a joyous intensity. But Yaichi is a lot more anxious and circumspect than Kana, because Mike’s three-week stay in their home has caused him to question the cultural homophobia he has unthinkingly consumed all his life. Creator Tagame sends Yaichi on a journey of acceptance and enlightenment that feels achingly true, as it’s beset by fits and starts, advancements and reversals. The artist revels in playfully setting up scenes that hint at sexual tension, even when the only real tension lies in Yaichi’s self-lacerating inner monologue."
