Heather K (dentist in my spare time)'s Reviews > My Brother's Husband, Volume 1

BRB, going to scream everywhere about how much I loved My Brother's Husband, Volume 1.

Okay.... OMG, guys. I can't stop thinking about this graphic novel/manga. The storyline is just so incredible. I don't know how the author got just the right mix of painful, moving, and hopeful, but Gengoroh Tagame nailed it.

I know this might sound trite to say, but I really learned a lot from this story. It's eye-opening how gay people are viewed in Japan, which is still a very traditional country. This story is the journey towards acceptance, told through the lens of a widower and his husband's brother. Touching doesn't even begin to describe this one. Such a powerful graphic novel with so few words.

But the ILLUSTRATIONS... *fans self.* This is an all-ages story, and I'm giving it to my teenage daughter next, but the drawings will make you swoon. Trust me, I've never been so attracted to a drawing before. You will want to read this author's less family friendly offerings next (after finishing this series of course).

I'm over the moon that I have this in hardcover. 1000% recommend.
