This was absolutely beautiful! I cried so many times while reading this volume!
It contained much more discussion and conversation around grief, and I think it was handled wonderfully! The conversation that Yaichi had with the school teacher was so empowering and it's genuinely something that I would love to see in western media as well because even now we don't see such straightforward conversations.
As her teacher I would hope that you would reprimand the bullies and not the bullied child for being different.
The ending was just perfect and realistic. I loved the bond these three shared and grew over time.
Would highly recommend this manga to anyone!

This little book broke my sweet gay heart. I can't even begin to say how much I enjoyed this book.
While a stormy narrative filled with conflict, Tagame is able to tell a beautiful story about a man recognizing that he has been possessed and driven by the homophobia of his culture. When his brother's husband, a burly Canadian named Mike, appears wanting to know him better he begins to recognize that he was not emotional support for his brother. This second volume then follows Yaichi as he and his daughter Kana welcome Mike into their home and this small story culminates with Yaichi realizing that he had nothing to fear from his brother being gay, or the possibility of his daughter being so.
This story is about the conflict within the self and finding what you personally believe. Most importantly, it's a book which explores the dynamic of families and how, no matter what shape they form, they are worth holding onto because they give us emotional support through our worst moments.
Gengoroh Tagame meditates on the homophobia of his home country but finds within it a possibility for change. The lives of LGBTQ people can be difficult, but Tagame offers his reader a hopeful vision where people can change their mind and live lives of happiness rather than shame. Such a book is beautiful and worth our time.

The sequel to this LGBTQ+ graphic novel was just as touching as volume one!
A great second volume, great continuation of the story and closure to our characters.

A good story indeed! I enjoyed the characters and the progression as well as the topics that were touched. Nothing all that unexpected happened in the story, but I can definitely see the significance of it and hope to see more and longer of these type of manga being created/translated that are more in depth (character wise in particular).

Even better than Vol. 1. These characters have my heart.
