And so begins their friendship as Sora plucks up the courage to tell his nearest and dearest who he really is - but will he also tell his crush? Gengoroh Tagame’s My Brother’s Husband was such an excellent limited series that I was really looking forward to his follow-up, Our Colors. Sora is a closeted high schooler whose secret sexuality is giving him panic attacks - until he meets the kindly older cafe owner, Amamiya, who’s also gay, but out. 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.more 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.
