My Brother's Husband, Volume 1

My rating is not so much about the content and artwork but how the content made me feel. Let me clarify since it sounds like it's all the same. Words were used that just made me feel horrible and uncomfortable. However, I understand that those words, as harsh and ugly as they are, were needed to show the dramatic growth over time that takes place in the series.

This series brings forth the prejudices that Japanese culture has towards gay people and couples. Even though they are not always in your face many people understand that it is not openly acceptable. It's almost as if you can fall into a false sense of security because Japanese folks aren't outwardly rude and vocal about how they really feel about gay love. Yet, gay folks know not to come out to certain people.

The series is great. It's a safe space to come to terms with feelings and thoughts and grow and become a more accepting individual.
