A review by marureviere
My son is probably gay, Vol. 2 by Okura
4.0
This is a wholesome, lighthearted manga created by a gay mangaka and narrated by the mother of a 16-year old closeted teen who's unaware that his intuitive mom already knows that he's gay.
It's quite heartwarming because she's so supportive and wants him to come to terms with his sexuality at his own pace. I also love how she's just waiting for him to be comfortable with himself first and doesn't hold it against him that he isn't ready to share his sexuality with her yet. She's also subtly yet constantly dropping hints that it's okay if he comes out to her and it just makes you wanna wish that more parents with lgbtqia+ children were like her.
The mangaka also mentioned that he came out to his family while creating this and that creating the manga gave him the confidence to do so. Ngl, I teared up a bit when I read that part.
In addition, this manga not only tackles homosexuality but also the issues of heteronormativity and homophobia. The chapters are also fairly short (most are only 3-5 pages long) and insightful, so it's easy to get into. I recommend.
