I Think Our Son Is Gay, Vol. 1
2019
Okura
A doting mother and her two beloved sons, one of whom she thinks is probably gay, go about their daily lives in this hilarious and heartwarming LGBTQIA+-friendly family comedy! Despite belonging to a family of four, the Aoyama residence is typically home to three due to father Akiyoshi's job. While he's away at work, mom Tomoko and her two beloved sons Hiroki and Yuri go about their everyday lives--going to school, making dinner, doing homework, etc. But now that Hiroki's in his first year of high school, his thoughts are turning ever so slightly to sex and romance...and his mom can't help but notice his slips of the tongue when he's talking about who he likes. Supportive Tomoko has an inkling Hiroki might be gay, but she's going to let him figure it out for himself. Unfortunately, Hiroki has little talent for keeping his "secret," so he might die of embarassment before all is said and done!

Okura
A doting mother and her two beloved sons, one of whom she thinks is probably gay, go about their daily lives in this hilarious and heartwarming LGBTQIA+-friendly family comedy! The warm and loving Aoyama house continues to run like clockwork. Mama Tomoko keeps her sons happy and healthy while her husband's away, and eldest son Hiroki, for his part, jokes and dissembles his way around the not-so-little secret of his sexuality while figuring things out for himself. But even though Hiroki's got his mom and kid brother in his corner for his personal journey, his dad is another story. There's no doubt that Akiyoshi Aoyama loves his son, but he's oblivious to the high schooler's struggles and hasn't grasped how hurtful his casually wielded assumptions and stereotypes can be. Will love be enough to see father and son through? Or will Tomoko have to step in and do what she does best? Be her son's greatest ally, that is!

2020
Yoshi Tsukizuki, Ryousuke Nanasaki
Basada en el ensayo homónimo, llega de la mano de Ryôsuke Nanasaki esta historia autobiográfica sobre las vicisitudes de un joven gay y el primer matrimonio homosexual reconocido en Japón. En esta colección de historias seremos testigos de los primeros pasos del joven gay Ryôsuke Nanasaki cuando, siendo tan solo un crío, ya es objeto del escarnio de sus compañeros de clase por comportarse distinto a lo que se considera un niño "normal". Además, nos adentramos en su búsqueda del amor, desde los primeros escarceos platónicos en el instituto hasta diversas situaciones embarazosas en apps de citas. En su camino nos cuenta cuánto tardó en encontrarse a gusto con su forma de ser y lo difícil que fue hallar a un grupo de amigos que finalmente lo aceptasen tal y como era. Un viaje lleno de sentimientos no correspondidos y viejas heridas que, con el tiempo, acabarán sanando gracias a la perseverancia y el afecto.
