Okura wrote in the afterword of this volume that he ended up coming out to his own mom while this manga was ongoing, and that’s just icing on the cake for how much I love this series.

The mother character never pushes her son to come out before he’s ready, and she tries to be supportive in ways that don’t let on what she has already intuited herself. I don’t know, as someone who has a lot of childhood emotional trauma from my own mom, there’s just something really healing I can get from something like this.
