Their Lives Are Suddenly Upended With The Arrival At Their Doorstep Of A Hulking, Affable Canadian Named Mike Flanagan, Who Declares Himself The Widower Of Yaichi's Estranged Gay Twin, Ryoji. Mike Is On A Quest To Explore Ryoji's Past, And The Family Reluctantly But Dutifully Takes Him In. What Follows Is An Unprecedented, Revelatory Look At And Journey Into The Largely Still-closeted Japanese Gay Culture: How It's Been Affected By The West, And How The Next Generation Has The Chance To Change The Preconceptions Of And Prejudices Against It-- Gengoroh Tagame ; Translated From The Japanese By Anne Ishii.
