He's Expecting Vol 1
by Eri Sakai
Review copy provided by Netgalley
He's Expecting is the kind of realistic manga that I love. In this world, male pregnancy has become a reality, although it only affects a very small portion of the population. When salaryman Kentaro suddenly discovers he's pregnant, he learns more about how pregnant men are treated, and fights against the stigmas given to other men in his situation. It's an interesting take, and I love how Eri Sakai touches on how realistic this situation would be, such as the need for C-sections and surgery for abortions. There is also quite a lot of commentary on Japanese society and how pregnancy is viewed as well. One of the side chapters touches on a husband who really needs a reality check when he becomes pregnant and mopes around. Overall, really enjoyed this one, and looking forward to seeing what characters are featured in volume 2 now that Kentaro's story is basically finished.
