My son is probably gay
This manga is both simultaneously hard and healing to read. It addresses tons of prejudice and microaggressions that LGBTQ+ people deal daily, and it's so effective because it's from a perspective of a mother who has been unintentionally prejudiced against gay people her whole life as a byproduct of her surrounding. It's very real, so it can be heartbreaking, but it's also very hopeful, because the manga is also about how people CAN actually change for the better, and how prejudice can be erased as long as you're willing to open your heart just a little bit.

About four boys being silly together. There's some stuff about mafia and kidnapping or whatever, but it's secondary to the relationship and bond between the main characters. Would like it more if they werent junior high schoolers drawn like adult super models but oh well!
