GAY MEN AND THEIR FATHERS: HURT AND HEALG
My Brother's Hband is a eply empathetic and surprisg manga about a Japane fay g to terms wh a relative's homosexualy. I assumed the followg pag of My Brother's Hband would tip to open homoeroticism, like all of Tagame's work, and be full of mascule power tops and gay bathhoe energy—but nope, not exactly. Courty Pengu Random HoeGengoroh Tagame is one of the most proment and important gay manga artists alive, beloved for his exceptnally kky, hypermascule, and hardre bear eroti—the gay kd, not the furry kd.
This award-wng all-ag manga is about a Japane father gettg to know the gay Canadian partner of his ceased, tranged tw brother. It's a eply empathetic story about a Japane fay g to terms wh a gay relative, an exploratn of the sneaks of grief, and—shockgly—appropriate to give to kids (although I don't remend they explore the rt of Tagame's horny ovre). Early on My Brother's Hband, Yaichi, the father, enunters his dghter bbg the cht hair of Mike, the gay uncle.
He's sexualizg Mike jt bee he's gay. Fathers many fai are myster, distant, timidatg figur—even more so for boys wh homosexual attractns. They are the fay torchbearers of manls, and, as mal young and old know, homosexualy is nsired the dread oppose of masculy.
