{"product_id":"my-brothers-husband-volume-i","title":"My Brother's Husband: Volume I","description":"One of Amazon.com's Top 10 Graphic Novels of the year\n\n'[My Brother's Husband] arrives in the UK garlanded with praise from, among others, Alison Bechdel. It's not hard to see why. Not only is it very touching; it's also, for the non-Japanese reader, unexpectedly fascinating' Rachel Cooke, Observer, Graphic Novel of the Month\n\n'When a cuddly Canadian comes to call, Yaichi - a single Japanese dad - is forced to confront his painful past. With his young daughter Kana leading the way, he gradually rethinks his assumptions about what makes a family. Renowned manga artist Gengoroh Tagame turns his stunning draftsmanship to a story very different from his customary fare, to delightful and heartwarming effect' Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home\n\nYaichi is a work-at-home suburban dad in contemporary Tokyo; formerly married to Natsuki, father to their young daughter, Kana. Their lives suddenly change with the arrival at their doorstep of a hulking, affable Canadian named Mike Flanagan, who declares himself the widower of Yaichi's estranged gay twin, Ryoji. Mike is on a quest to explore Ryoji's past, and the family reluctantly but dutifully takes him in. What follows is an unprecedented and heartbreaking look at the state of a largely still-closeted Japanese gay culture: how it's been affected by the West, and how the next generation can change the preconceptions about it and prejudices against it.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39655497072725,"sku":"9780349134574N","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/6ce23f4a-5e2a-40cb-9677-6ee7e780edc0.jpg?v=1644290286","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/my-brothers-husband-volume-i","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
