While it is very nice to see Tomoko recognize some of her own assumptions, is beginning to bother me that she doesn’t correct her husband’s homophobia.

For example when she tells him and a coworker admitted he was gay, the husband calls him a “fairy”, says that he must be effeminate. When she says that he isn’t, her husband says that he probably just doesn’t act that way at work but he probably secretly does, and Tomoko leaves it there with a maybe he is like that in private.</spoilers> She doesn’t tell him he’s prejudiced (or at least never beyond a don’t say that), she usually just diverts the topic. It’s especially tough since she knows that what her husband says has affected her son, and a lot of times he’s saying all sorts of bs around Hiroki. 

Due to this volume’s summary, I was hoping for some sort of confrontation in this one, but maybe in the next one, I guess.
