Our Colors
by Gengoroh Tagame
Stories about coming out, be it as a teenager in high school or an older adult, always hit hard on the emotions. Our Colors hits particularly hard because Tagame is a master at getting readers to put themselves in the protagonist's shoes. I have nothing in common with Sora or Mr. Amamiya, but I was right there with them when it came time to face the challenges that life had placed on their paths to happiness.
The art is simple yet emotive in a way that helps your eyes flow from one panel to the next without you realizing that you're flying through it. Tagame's expressions always hit the mark for what the character is feeling and the deceptive simplicity of everything helps the more detailed panels really stand out and have a greater impact.
This is a very Japanese story in the way that people react to things and act in certain situations, so I don't think it will be as accessible to most casual readers. However, I would still highly recommend it as an emotional window into the lives of others.
Very happy thanks to NetGalley and Pantheon for the emotionally satisfying read!
