I Think Our Son Is Gay, Vol. 02 by Okura

5.0

"If Hiroki's notion that there are things men can and can't read is informed only by the people around him saying so... I don't want him to deny his own feelings."

Another great volume of a doting mother watching over her kids. Delightful! This one includes a chapter from eldest son Hiroki and his crush Daigo's point of view, and another from the younger son Yuri's point of view. 

The mother Tomoko obviously is a very loving warm person. I like seeing that while she watches over her sons' growth, she herself grows. She realizes so many things on her own, while observing and doing introspection. I love her! 
New characters were introduced keeping life interesting, and sometimes oh so amusing for us readers haha 

The mangaka is gay and I can feel like that shows through in the care with which the story is handled, as well as the hurtful things and microagressions closeted or not queer people and their loved ones must hear on the daily. It's a really positive heartfelt story with funny moments, but like in real life one can't escape it. 

I liked learning that Yuri's hobby is reviewing! Can relate, as you well know hihi 🤭 

Let's keep watching over the Aoyama family! ✊
