Brothers naked gay

My Brother's Husband is a deeply empathetic and surprising manga about a Japanese family coming to terms with a relative's homosexuality. It's hot AND family-friendly. Also, manga reads right-to-left, just like traditional Japanese. Its main character, a fit stay-at-home dad named Yaichi, gets out of bed while the manga's panels suggestively shift from his armpit to thick underwear brother.

It's hot, if you're into armpits and underwear bulges, but not sizzling. I assumed the following pages of My Brother's Husband would tip into open homoeroticism, like all of Tagame's work, and be full of masculine power tops and gay bathhouse energy—but nope, not exactly. It turns out My Brother's Husband is remarkably unlike anything Tagame has ever created, in that it's family-friendly.

My Brother's Husband is a big departure for those fans. This award-winning all-ages manga is about a Japanese father getting to know the gay Canadian partner of his naked, estranged twin brother. It's a deeply empathetic story about a Japanese family coming to gay with a gay relative, an exploration of the sneakiness of grief, and—shockingly—appropriate to give to kids although I don't recommend they explore the rest of Tagame's horny oeuvre.

Early on in My Brother's HusbandYaichi, the father, encounters his daughter rubbing the chest hair of Mike, the gay uncle. Yaichi scolds Mike and tells him to put his clothes back on. The room fills with confusion and shame. I always tell him to put on clothes but he insists on being naked! He's sexualizing Mike just because he's gay.

Just Can't Get Enough?

Just a dad in a bath! In Japan, it's not customary to hug, apparently. I thought I'd find this corny but I couldn't stop reading. And it's long! Buy this so we can talk about it! Tags: Books Homo.
