Gay in family stories: Out of the closet, proposal & approval (family issues)

we know that it won't mostly turn out well in real life but let's indulge in some happy endings every now and then.  mostly this is a collection of a family-oriented manga (w/c can be pretty rare) in the yaoi/shounen-ai 

- stories of BL couples that outed themselves to their family
- some fun life with the in-laws
 some stories have no pairing... just a simple family-oriented story in BL world.
- **2016 update: asking the family member's approval for them dating and the various reaction of the family members (neutral  negative  or positive )

Genre(s): Drama / Shounen Ai

A family manga masterpiece.
Quite realistic uptake on a gay guy's dilemma about his family finding out. What made it more precious is it's done in a third person perspective. I love it. I'm so touched.
POV of the younger bro.
younger bro (MC) figured it out. i'm touched with his support.
mom accidentaly found out. hell ensued.
to in a span of months, years?

Ahhh, shit, that shouting match at chap 15 is bad for my heart *rubs chest. Few covered up the family approval issue as detailed as this manga. Showbiz drama, love rivalry at the start then the couple's everyday struggle as an open celebrity homosexual couple.
out to: the whole japan. widely publicized relationship.
seme's family: okay to the womenfolk (dad) to
uke's family: traditional to (and dad is finally)

uke already came out to mom at the start of the story.
Writer w/ goatee newly moved in the neighborhood & saw a skirt flipping up... then boxers LOL. One of the best age gap manga. Talks about sexuality as well that gay=/=trans. Slow burn mutual attraction, boy's met his first crush.
to mom: I think her reaction is realistic. She's just a worried mother but misunderstood gays. I am happy the mangaka made a character development for her.

Great list! Thanks!

Hi takame, Thanks for your lists! I'm (slowly) making my way through several of them - we seem to share some kinks. Also, I wanted to thank you for posting the link to the story about the guy who was reunited with his gay brother. I know you posted that over a year ago, but I just saw it now. It seriously made my evening! I cried buckets, but shhh don't tell anyone ;) It's ok, they were happy tears :) Greetings to you from France. Have a good day/night.

takame November 6, 2017 11:36 am

Yes, thank you! it's great to know that someone actually read that. It was the same for me. I was touched by the story I can't help but share it here since it's kind of related.
Thanks for dropping by!

yes, thank you for your words. i do not want to let what others say affect me much that is why I find happiness collecting these mangas in this list bec at least I could be entertained and had a place to rant (through my reviews lol) every now and then

maya_nemu December 21, 2016 9:14 pm

I'm a big fan of your lists, to be honest. Whenever I search something about Yaoi on Google the first result would be your list. Maybe we have the same fetish/es when it comes to Yaoi. lol salamat ;)

takame April 17, 2017 2:18 pm

salamat din shiichii haha. sorry I always manage to miss comments in my lists.
we probably had the same taste, awesome (≧∀≦)

Loli March 28, 2016 4:50 pm

Might I suggest a manga called
"Ani no Hanashi" by Ike Reibun. I havent read it in a long time though so not sure if it goes together. You can also ignore this though if you dont want too.

takame March 28, 2016 4:54 pm

aww don't be like that bhe.., since you recced it, i now i have a reason to read that particular title. (i managed to avoid reading that one for a long time lol) and of course, if it fits the theme i won't hesitate to add it here
