The Passion of Gengoroh Tagame: Master of Gay Erotic Manga Vol. Amamiya paid a high price for his freedom of identity, and when a figure from his past suddenly appears, the situation becomes a vivid example of just how complicated life can be.Īnd while the big focus will be on this English-language launch, Fantagraphics has snuck in the month before, publishing two other volumes by Gengoroh Tagame containing his gay erotic manga comics also translated by Anne Ishii, with covers designed by Chip Kidd. Amamiya counsels Sora about how to deal with who he is. A mentorship and platonic friendship ensues as Sora comes out to him and agrees to paint a mural in the shop, and Mr. Amamiya, a middle-aged gentleman who is the owner and proprietor of a local coffee shop and is completely, unapologetically out as a gay man.
Sora's world changes forever when he meets Mr. His best friend and childhood confidante is Nao, a young woman whom everyone thinks is (or should be) his girlfriend, and it would be the easiest thing to play along-she knows he's gay but knows, too, how difficult it is to live one's truth in his situation. He wants to live honestly as a young gay man in high school, but that is still not acceptable in Japanese society. A mesmerizing coming-of-age and coming-out graphic novel by the genius writer-artist of the breakout hit My Brother's Husband Set in contemporary suburban Japan, Our Colors is the story of Sora Itoda, a sixteen-year-old aspiring painter who experiences his world in synesthetic hues of blues and reds and is governed by the emotional turbulence of being a teenager.
