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.\r\n\r\n(Please note: This book is a traditional work of manga, and reads back to front and right to left.)\r\n\r\nPART OF THE PANTHEON GRAPHIC LIBRARY","brand":"PANTHEON BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50512543613113,"sku":"9780375715181","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/6983\/4539\/files\/my-brother-s-husband-volumes-1-2_2c8ad8cf-a935-4334-9b12-401d8f905eb1.png?v=1790297373","url":"https:\/\/shop.crowsnest.quest\/products\/9780375715181-0","provider":"Crow's Nest Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
