Mike is on a quest to explore Ryoji’s past, and the family reluctantly but dutifully takes him in. Their lives suddenly change with the arrival at their doorstep of a hulking, affable Canadian name Mike Flanagan, who declares himself the widower of Yaichi’s estranged gay twin, Ryoji. Yaichi is a work-at-home suburban dad in contemporary Tokyo formerly married to Natsuki, father to their young daughter, Kana. The story, although based on the love between two men, is really meant for everyone to read, regardless of your gender, sex, or sexual orientation: My Brother’s Husband, a manga by Gengoroh Tagame, immediately pulled me in and never once made me feel like an outsider, as I often do when reading stories with gay male protagonists (reading as a cisgender lesbian).
