PRIDE MONTH 2024! If it’s Pride Month at Broken Frontier then it must be time for another review of Okura’s manga series I Think Our Son is Gay. We covered the first two volumes in June 2022, the third and fourth entries in June 2023, and here we are again with the fifth and final number for Pride 2024. Beginning as an endearing but formulaic collection of short strips, I Think Our Son is Gay has evolved in its five volumes as overarching story arcs and character development moved ever further to the frontline in place of its original, semi-punchline led set-up.
That original premise played with the idea that Tomoko, the mother of the book’s focus ethics Hiroki Aoyama, had reach to suspect her schoolboy son was gay but not yet confident to come out. Early strips used a gentle observational humour in an “is he or isn’t he?” series of shorts.

its called "My Son is Probably Gay" (alternative titles include Uchi no Musuko wa Tabun Gei, うちの息子はたぶんゲイ)
it's abt the relationship between a mom and her son who tries his hardest of not being the adorable obvious fool he is having crushes on boys
consider:
- absolutely adorable style (especially the mom omg just look at her)
- very unused manga, started in Sep 2019 I think? a lot of room for updates in the future!
- a mother being so absolutely loving of his son she appreciates everything he tells her and instead of growing up in society's mold of what a "man" is, she wants him to express himself and embrace everything he holds dear to his heart
- ohngmy god she is who i aspire to b e

I Think Our Son Is Gay (Uchi no Musuko wa Tabun Gay) is a comedy Slice of Life manga by Okura about a Japanese family whose eldest son is probably gay.
It's mainly told from the signal of view of the open-minded mom Tomoko, but the center is on the eldest son Hiroki and his (terrible) bids at hiding his sexuality. The family also includes the younger brother Yuri, who's quiet but notices more than he lets on; and the father Akiyoshi, who tries to do as much quality parenting as he can when he's not away on business.
The manga began its run in Gangan Pixiv in 2019 and concluded in 2023. Square Enix Manga & Books announced that they will be publishing the manga in English in May 2021.
Compare to the author's previous work, That Azure Sky Feeling, about several teens exploring their orientations.
