Shuichi spends a precious gift of cash from his grandmother on a special present for himself, a purchase that triggers a chain of events in which his sister Maho learns his secret, and Shuichi inadvertently steals the heart of a boy Maho in interested in.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;woman&#8221; who showed so much interest in Yoshino (when she was wear- ing a boy&#8217;s school uniform) in Volume One reappears with &#8220;her&#8221; boyfriend, and becomes a mentor and friend to the two children. And the kids go on a class trip that is a rite of passage Shuichi would rather pass up. Shuichi is called a &#8220;faggot&#8221; by another boy, and the dramatic nature in which Saori comes to Shuichi&#8217;s defense leads the two to discover a shared fondness for Anne of Green Gables. But despite his propensity to cry (a propensity noted repeatedly by his more outgoing sister), Shuichi finds strength and courage he didn&#8217;t know he had.<\/p>\n<p>A sophisticated work translated with sensitivity by veteran translator and comics scholar Matt Thorn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wandering Son Vol. 2 by Shimura Takako http:\/\/www.fantagraphics.com\/wanderingson2 228-page black &#038; white <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":153300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[28020,34246,158621,44287,131443,5183,24718,3620,152507,44289,2588,44288,37075],"class_list":{"0":"post-153299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-book","9":"tag-comics","10":"tag-graphic-novel","11":"tag-hourou-musuko","12":"tag-josei","13":"tag-manga","14":"tag-preview","15":"tag-seinen","16":"tag-shimura-takako","17":"tag-takako-shimura","18":"tag-trailer","19":"tag-wandering-son","20":"tag-37075"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
