I've heard about this manga a lot and had kind of avoided it because it seemed confusing to me and I was honestly a little afraid of it, but wow am I glad I decided to read it.
My Brother's Husband is a such a good story on so many levels: dealing with the loss of a loved one, homophobia (from your community, your family, internalized), LGBTQIA+ rights in Japan, the way families can be made up of all kinds of people, etc.
Kana and Mike's relationship was beautiful and even though she wasn't the one we were really seeing the story through, she was a great bridge to having good and hard conversations, but also making them seem so much easier.
I was crying at the end of this one when Mike taught Kana how to say "see you soon" in English and I do hope that maybe we will get to see that soon someday. But it also ended wonderfully as it is.
