My Brother's Husband (Ot�to no Otto) is a domestic dramedy manga series by Gengoroh Tagame. It is the first family-friendly work by Tagame, previously known for his Bara Genre gay male erotic manga. It was originally serialized in Monthly Action magazine from 2014 to 2017, and published in official English translation in two volumes (double the length of the volumes of the four-volume Japanese collections) in 2017-8 (an oversized single-volume edition came out in 2020). A live-action TV adaptation was broadcast in 2018 on NHK BS Premium.The series is a Culture Clash comedy dealing with the similarities and differences between Japanese and Western attitudes to gay men, with a dual audience of Japanese people, and Western manga fans who, thanks to reading Yaoi, may have an unduly romanticised view of what life in Japan is like for gay people.The manga's main character is Yaichi, a stay-at-home single dad whose gay twin brother, Ryoji, emigrated to Canada years before and became estranged from him. His quiet life with his tween daughter Kana is disrupted when Mike, Ryoji's widower, comes to Japan to meet his in-laws and explore the country. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Mike goes back to Canada, and he can't bring himself to promise to Kana and Yaichi that they'll meet again after he saw Ryoji's own promise remain unfulfilled by his passing. However, all of the characters are on good terms and do want to see each other again sometime in the future. Yaichi finds closure with his brother's death and accepts Mike as a member of his family. The live action show end on a happier note. Mike does go back to Canada but after a time skip he comes back to visit and this time he bring his parents and sister along to meet everyone. | |

Culture Clash | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: A major subject of the manga, between Japan and Canada. Mike occasionally misunderstands Japanese customs, but just as often he's an "interpreter" of sorts between the two cultures. For example, in one chapter he explains to a pair of tattooed foreigners why they're not being allowed into a gym: many businesses in Japan ban customers with tattoos due to their association with the Yakuza. | |

| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_72827831 | comment |
Courteous Canadian: Mike is super nice and polite while he's in Japan and apologizes a lot, befitting of the "Canadians are nice" stereotype. That said, he doesn't talk in any stereotypical Canadian way though that's mostly because he's speaking Japanese most of the time. Also the fact that Ryoji moved to Canada and found Mike, shows Canada's gay friendly nature compared to other countries, especially Japan. | |

The Faceless | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: In flahbacks, Ryoji is always seen from the back or in silhouette, and Yaichi's imaginary conversations with him use the mirror reflection as a stand-in. It's only towards the end that we see his actual face in the photos on Mike's tablet. This is a purely artistic choice; Yaichi is his identical twin, so we obviously know what Ryoji actually looks like to begin with. | |

No Longer with Us: Between the photo of Natsuki in Yaichi's house being from when Kana was still a baby and unfortunate word choices by Kana while telling Mike about her, the first few chapters make it look like Natsuki is dead, to the point that Mike gets the idea as well. When Natsuki shows up very much alive to Mike's surprise, she correctly guesses that the photo had something to do with it. | |

Cry into Chest | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_d5eed41c | comment |
Cry into Chest: When Mike comes home late and drunk, he mistakes Yaichi for Ryoji, falls on the futon on top of him, and tearfully asks him why did he had to die while enacting this trope. | |

The Bear | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_e1da40 | comment |
The Bear: Mike is a stout, hairy man who fulfils all the stereotypes of this gay subculture. In the live-action adaptation, he is less outwardly muscular and a Big Beautiful Man all around. This is then joked about when he wins Kana a giant teddy bear at the onsen amusement arcade and she names it "Mike". | |

House Husband | |

House Husband: Yaichi is bringing up Kana at home after the divorce, which he feels a bit of an inferiority complex about. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: There are some hints in the first volume that Yaichi might himself be gay and very deeply closeted. He is unable to explain quite why his marriage to Natsuki failed despite how well they get on, and he tells Kana that he doesn't really know what "making love" means, which could be avoiding going into sexual detail with a child but could be something of a confession. However, the story ends before anything about his sexuality is explored further. | |

Settle for Sibling: Yaichi's exact resemblance to Ryoji sometimes creates embarrassment between him and Mike. | |

Manly Gay | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_e399c1dd | comment |
Manly Gay: Mike is a hairy, muscular guy who lifts weights, doesn't act effeminate, and insists, to Kana's Innocently Insensitive query, that both he and Ryoji were "husbands" in the marriage. | |

Shame If Something Happened | |
| My Brother's Husband (Manga) / int_e5c64f3f | comment |
Shame If Something Happened: This is the homophobic teacher's approach when he calls Yaichi into the school, talking about what a shame it would be if Kana were to be bullied and become a social outcast because of her gay relatives. Yaichi doesn't budge an inch and calmly tells him that Kana has a right to love and talk about her uncles, and that he expects the teacher to do something if any bullying happens. | |

Food Porn: Much focus is devoted to Yaichi's recipes, which are constantly referred as (and look) delicious. In fact, several chapters are named after dishes or beverages. | |
