Synopsis

Tomoko Aoyama has a sneaking suspicion that her son Hiroki is gay. He often talks excitedly about boys and men before he realizes it and bashfully tries to explain himself. From fawning over handsome baseball players on TV to talking highly about his best friend, Daigo Shiraishi, Hiroki inevitably becomes flustered by these casual slips of the tongue—much to his mother's amusement. Though she has no way of knowing for certain, Tomoko can only wait and quietly support her anxious son until the day he is ready to say something.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

From my understanding, good parents just want their kids to be happy. I may not be a parent myself as of the time of writing this review, but I do see this in my mother, who supported me and my younger brothers in whatever we wanted to accomplish as we grew up. Although she could be a little probing about it, she has also been at least somewhat supportive of our love lives, whoever we happened to like at that time. I do wonder sometimes about one thing, though; neither my brothers nor I have ever been attracted to anyone who's the same sex as ...

This is one of the most painfully relatable and emotionally resonant manga I’ve ever read.

“I Think Our Son Is Gay” has an adorable artstyle, a wonderfully lighthearted sense of humour, and bite-sized chapters that never overstay their welcome. But underneath the veneer of simplicity, there lies a deep understanding of the queer experience and a great deal of empathy for those on the periphery of it.

I was truly surprised by the number of times this story brought me to tears, not because it’s in any way sad, but because it’s so filled with compassion and optimism. Its portrayal of being a closeted teen is hilariously ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (50/104 eps)
I have to say, this was quite a wholesome manga with the mum knowing her son, Hiroki is in love with his best friend Daigo. It was good to see a change of direction by using a supportive mum in this situation because there’s hardly any manga out there that I’ve come across to which doesn’t talk about the parents perceptive on their kids perceptions.

Now I wouldn’t say this book is perfect because it misses the charm by trying too hard to be funny (e.g. showing Hiroki always going way over the top if his mum asks about his likes in things which relate ...
