He wants to live honestly as a young gay man in high school, but that is still not acceptable in Japanese society. His best friend and childhood confidante 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 is gay but knows, too, how difficult it is to live one's truth in his situation. Sora's world changes forever when he meets Mr. Amamiya, a middle-aged gentleman who is the owner and proprietor of a local coffee shop, and who is completely, unapologetically out as a gay man. A mentorship and platonic friendship ensues, as Sora comes out to him and agrees to paint a mural in the shop, and Mr. Amamiya counsels him about how to deal with who he is. But it won't be easy. Mr. 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gay teenagers $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a High school boys $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Self-acceptance $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Synesthesia $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Graphic novels. 700 1 $a Ishii, Anne, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Tagame, Gengoroh. $t Our colors $b First edition. $d New York : Pantheon Books, [2022] $z 9781524748586 $w (DLC) 2021029934 941 $a 9 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240416012028.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012031012.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024937.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230829010815.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230504010130.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230203010458.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230104013604.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220802010649.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220707010442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20A70D48FDBA11ECBF61056C37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
