The heartfelt stuff is really good - Hiroki’s dad travels for work and the way he means well but completely throws off the family dynamic and can’t read the room when he is there is a nice contrast to everything Tomoko does.

If you have a sense that your loved one might want to talk, but isn’t doing so on their own, a gentle open-ended question, such as, 'How did things go at school/work/church today?' can open the door to dialogue." 6. Don't push

Give your child ample opportunity to open up and share their thoughts and feelings. Whether they want to talk about their hopes for the future, or a situation that happened in school or at work that day, the prospect for open discussion is endless," Owen says.

It is a rather lighthearted story of an accepting and loving family and the eldest son trying to keep his secret while coming to terms with his own sexuality and developing first crushes. Hiroki’s at that age, but he’s not exactly skewing heteronormative and his mother, Tomoko, has begun to notice. Actually, given how ridiculously poor Hiroki is at hiding things, he might as well just join a pride parade and call it a day.

Hiroki is arguably less important to all this than Tomoko, though he gets a couple of good moments. Mostly he’s just a typical teenager, though gay, and it doesn’t translate into anything interesting in the storytelling. He plays video games and hangs with his friends like everybody else, but I can do that on my own time too so this book needs a bit more oomph. The manga follows Tomoko Aoyama and her eldest son Hiroki. Hiroki is secretly gay but is embarrassed to reveal his sexuality, unaware that his own mother already knows it. While Tomoko has accepted her son and supports him, she refuses to out her son as she wants Hiroki himself to admit his sexuality by his own accord. Other supporting characters including Yuri, Tomoko's younger son and Hiroki's brother, who despite having no interest in romance, has attracted many girls attention and is also aware of his brother's sexuality, Akiyoshi, Tomoko's husband and the boys father, who is constantly travelling for work who love his sons but sometimes unintentionally hurts Hiroki's feelings due to his negative and outdated views on homosexuality, Daigo, Hiroki's classmate and his secret crush and Asumi, Hiroki's childhood friend who develops feelings for Hiroki but is unaware of his sexuality. For example, if someone uses the word "gay" in place of "stupid," remind them that the two are not interchangeable, and suggest they should say what they actually mean instead. 3. Educate yourself

Furia says, "It is crucial that your child feel that your home and ultimately you are a safe space. You must not allow hateful speech, whether subtle or overt, of any kind to be tolerated." I think my stance on this is basically that this book is very good at showing a relationship between a mother and son where the former loves the latter no matter what and you can’t really fault it there. But it’s not compelling and that’s got nothing to do with its LGBQT+ positive story - in fact, that’s the only part that makes it at all interesting. Minus one obvious joke about search histories the “gags” are all just Hiroki being flustered and that’s... not actually funny.

For our son who's likely gay and hiding it it may still be difficult to talk about "anything with his family". I just want him to know that his mom, his dad and his little brother all care him about very much."
