Plot
Plot
The manga follows Tomoko Aoyama and her eldest son, Hiroki. Hiroki is secretly gay, but is embarrassed to reveal his sexuality, unaware that his own mother already knows it. While Tomoko has accepted her son and supports him, she refuses to out her son as she wants Hiroki himself to admit his sexuality by his own accord. Other supporting characters including Yuri, Tomoko's younger son and Hiroki's brother, who despite having no interest in romance, has attracted the attention of many girls and is also aware of his brother's sexuality; Akiyoshi, Tomoko's husband and the boys' father, who is constantly traveling for work and loves his sons but sometimes unintentionally hurts Hiroki's feelings due to his negative and outdated views on homosexuality; Daigo, Hiroki's classmate and his secret crush; and Asumi, Hiroki's childhood friend who develops feelings for Hiroki, but is unaware of his sexuality.
