I Think Our Son is Gay Volume 5 Review
The Aoyama family: doting mother Tomoko, exuberant high-schooler Hiroki and his quiet, self-contained younger brother Yuri are going back to being a family of four again as absent father Akiyoshi (who’s been away on a work assignment abroad) is returning abode for good. And Akiyoshi is one of those people who tends to speak his thoughts aloud without much regard of their impact on anyone else. Tomoko has suspected for a long while that their eldest Hiroki is gay but has been content to watch how things go, encouraging him with his elevated school activities and his various enthusiasms. She’s watched over him as his best friend (and classified crush) Daigo has got himself a girlfriend and he’s tried to conceal his feelings by throwing himself into his academy clubs (even though he’s never once openly admitted that he might hold felt more than friendship for Daigo).
And then there’s Hiroki’s childhood friend Asumi (also in the choir) who’s liked him for a long time. When Asumi admits her feelings to Hiroki, he doesn’t know how to allow her down gently, yet st
I Think Our Son is Gay Vol. 5 The Focus Shifts in the Final Volume of Okuras Heartwarming Manga Tale of Family and Acceptance
PRIDE MONTH ! If it’s Pride Month at Broken Frontier then it must be time for another review of Okura’s manga series I Think Our Son is Gay. We covered the first two volumes in June , the third and fourth entries in June , and here we are again with the fifth and final number for Pride Beginning as an endearing but formulaic collection of short strips, I Think Our Son is Gay has evolved in its five volumes as overarching story arcs and character development moved ever further to the frontline in place of its original, semi-punchline led set-up.

Manga May: I Consider Our Son Is Gay
Welcome back to the yearly spotlight known as Manga May. Its pretty straight forward. I pick a few manga titles to highlight during this month, and post these tidy little reviews as further elaboration. This time around I went for a short series since Ive been largely cruising through one-shots and volumes for on-goings series.
I dont quite remember, as is often the case actually, how Okura-Senseis I Think Our Son Is Gay, got on my radar. It might have have something to do with another reviewer here on WordPress, maybe it was an Instagram thing who knows? For me personally what mattered the most is at five volumes on the slimmer side (less then pages per volume), had finished publication in English, and I was interested in seeing the series through to the end.
Our story stars Aoyama Hiroki, through the lens of mostly his mother Tomoko. After putting a few pieces together, rather recently as Hiroki is now a tall schooler she has a sneaking suspicion her son might be gay. His mother is amused by the fine line her son wal

It's mainly told from the point of view of the open-minded mom Tomoko, but the attention is on the eldest son Hiroki and his (terrible) attempts at hiding his sexuality. The family also includes the younger brother Yuri, who's adj but notices more than he lets on; and the father Akiyoshi, who tries to do as much quality parenting as he can when he's not away on business.
The manga began its race in Gangan Pixiv in and concluded in Square Enix Manga & Books announced that they will be publishing the manga in English in May
