Amamiya counsels him (platonically) about how to deal with who he is. A mentorship and 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 who is completely, unapologetically out as a gay man. Sora’s world changes forever when he meets Mr. His best friend and childhood confidant 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 is gay but knows, too, how hard it is to live one’s truth in their situation. He wants to live honestly as a young gay man in high school, but that is still not acceptable in Japanese society. Set in contemporary suburban Japan, Our Colors is the story of Sora Itoda: a sixteen-year-old aspiring painter who experiences his world in synesthetic hues of blues and reds, governed by the emotional turbulence of being a teenager. A mesmerizing coming-of-age and coming-out graphic novel by the genius writer-artist of the Eisner Award–winning breakout hit My Brother’s Husband
