The concluding volume in the story of Yaichi, his daughter Kana, and how their meeting Mike Flanagan—Yaichi's brother-in-law—changes their lives and their perceptions of acceptance of homosexuality in their contemporary Japanese culture.

As Mike continues his journey of discovery concerning Ryoji's past, Yaichi gradually comes to understand that being gay is just another way of being human. And that, in many ways, remains a radical concept in Japan even today. In the meantime, the bond between Mike and young Kana grows ever stronger, and yet he is going to have to return to Canada soon—a fact that fills them both with impending heartbreak. But not before more than a few revelations come to light.

My Brother's Husband: Volume II offers a touching exploration of family, acceptance, and the diverse tapestry of human experience in a modern cultural setting.

Acclaimed manga artist Gengoroh Tagame delivers a heartfelt and beautifully illustrated tale far removed from his usual work, exploring family and gay acceptance with warmth and sensitivity. The story is poignant and hopeful, offering a quietly dazzling meditation on societal attitudes in modern Japan. Praised by critics and celebrated figures like Alison Bechdel, the series is touching, insightful, and compelling for readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Japanese culture.
