BLURB: Yaichi 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.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Un viudo acongojado. Un hermano en conflicto. Una niña inocente y alegre.
Yaishi es un padre soltero que cria a su hija Kana quedandose en casa. Su hermano gemelo murio en Canadá hace poco, y su esposo canadiense, Mike quien es un enorme hombre tipo oso, llega a su hogar persiguiendo memorias de su esposo y buscando probablemente una conclusión.
El esposo de mi hermano es el titulo de un manga Otōto no Otto que esta hecho para que la gente piense y reflexione acerca de la presencia homosexual en nuestras familias y sociedades. Este esta hecho para Japón, pero vale para otras partes.
