Sorry if there're any mistakes, I'm still learning English :)
At first, I wasn't very excited about reading this manga, because I don't read gay manga and that kind of stuff. However a friend of mine didn't stop telling me it was great, so I read it. And I really enjoyed it !
The summary is very short but it explain the big lines of the story : The twin brother of the hero is dead and his husband came to visit him and his daughter. It seems to be boring because it's mostly a slice of life but I found it very interesting ! The hero

When Mike travels to Japan he does so to meet his deceased husband's family. We see his brother-in-law and niece reac to his presece and learn and grow from it. Mostly we see Yaichi go from being your typical homophobe to someone who is as a new person by the end of the 4th volume.
In My Brother's Husband we meet a special little family of 4. We have Yaichi, single stay-at-home-dad, landlord. Kana, Yaichi's daughter. Natsuki, Kana's mother. And Mike, Yaichi's brother-in-law. We see each character (maybe with the exception of Natsuki) grow and learn about themselves and each other, in particular we see ...

The story revolves around Yaichi's deceased gay brother Ryouji. The story takes place in modern Japan, thus it deals with a lot of traditional Asian mannerism towards the queer community.
The story allows readers to see the world through Yaichi eyes, who tries to understand Mike and Ryouji relationship and lively hoods. The manga illustrates how prejudice is taught and not ingrained, through the contrast of Yaichi and his daughter. While Yaichi needed time to better understand and accept Mike's position in their family. Kana's (Yaichi daughter) innocence allowed her to grasp and understand the situation quickly and respectively. (minor spoiler) Tagame portrays quiet discrimination ...

Sweet, endearing, and a wonderful read that I fully recommend.
Lovely story overall. The main character is an accurate representation of "i'm not homophobic but"s, initially being at least uncomfortable to have his brother's husband in his home and near his daughter. It's truly so heartwarming to see him gradually change his views as the manga goes on, and to become a kinder and more accepting person. Of course, his little daughter is this way right off the bat! She simply had no reason to be wary of her exciting new uncle! Her behaviour is very eye-opening both to her father and to the reader. And finally, the brother's ...

Here is my take after reading 3 volumes of the thought-provoking manga Otouto no Otto by Gengorou Tagame.
My Husband's Brother is about Yachi and his daughter Kana being visited by his deceased twin brother's Canadian Husband, Mike. The story revolves around how Yachi, a conservative and traditional Japanese, handles the openly gay Mike through a series of interactions together with his daughter and ex-wife. I personally love how the story progresses from total prejudice to acceptance. We all have the Yachi in all of us, and we wish to be just Kana not judging and unbiased. The characters are wonderfully written and are on point on what ...

Story and Characters 10: Otouto no Otto is the perfect homophoic introspection story, there is no annoying sense of being overdramatic, it handles all of its subject matters carefully and it does it in a very concise manner. Firstly, this story's situation setting is goddamn a work of genius, it allows for a perfectly melancholic tone which the author makes sure to never drive too far from. It never becomes overly dramatic, overly happy, nothing because the whole manga is about acceptance and regret. The main MC that is the dad goes through honestly one of the most smooth, well paced character arcs of all
