My Brother's Husband

That description...

"Ten years ago Yaichi's twin brother moved to Canada and married a man called Mike. A month ago, he died."

Okay, that escalated quickly.

@waldo220 give it a read, it's extremely good. It's not award-winning for nothing, after all. I bought the two licensed volumes that are available( volume 1 here and volume 2 here, they're very nice hardcovers and contain the entire story into two english volumes) and it's well worth the purchase. The story is powerful, the characters strong, the message heartfelt and genuine. It's a sad story to start, but an uplifting one. I do kinda wish those who irrationally hate gay people would give it a read and maybe rethink their prejudices, but that's unlikely.

Mike is too perfect, but that is fine once in a while, especially since the story is mostly educational in many regards. Nice and worth a read, pretty good art in my opinion :)

A very wholesome manga from a very... wholesome... artist

Everything I've read of this is incredible.

Wasn’t this a movie?

Ahhh don’t read this anywhere that you don’t want to tear up a bit

Thing about this is, yes it's making some (very valid) social points, getting a bit preachy. But it somehow manages to at the same time be a really fast, absorbing read. The message is embedded in the kind of stuff that impacts real people. And the characters are pretty dang likeable.

@Captaininvictus Oh don't worry, it's PTR already. Though I've never really been a fan of Yaoi (not a hater, just not a fan), I'm not turned off at the idea of reading this. Tho the sad tone is making me hesitate. Maybe I'll read when I feel like I wamna be sad. Thanks.

anyone know if the last volume will be uploaded here too? or if the rest of the chapters are translated at all where i could find them?

Where's the rest?

@gum_rummy

It was published officially in english, which is why the scanlation group stopped working on it.

A really good and reflective manga. I think it portrays a realistic view of society's continued issues with accepting non-binary identifying people in a very honest and not overwhelming fashion. Very pleasant and not too heavy, despite the plot occurring due to death.

I love that it shows the father realising that being gay didn't change his brother, but rather it was himself who had changed how he treated his brother and that doing so was just stupid bias. Really gives me hope that others who read this might have the same awakening.
