This historic memoir by activist Ryousuke Nanasaki recounts his first experiences as a gay man while searching for his soulmate and eventual marriage-the first religiously recognized same-sex wedding in Japanese history. (Manga adaptation also available from Seven Seas.) Ryousuke Nanasaki married his husband in 2016 in the first religiously recognized same-sex wedding in Japanese history. This collection of essays follows Ryousuke's search for love on the journey to his extraordinary marriage. From unrequited junior high crushes to awkward dating sites to finally finding a community, Ryousuke's heartfelt reflections on his coming-of-age as a young gay man in Hokkaido will touch readers all over the world.
An absolutely fantastic memoir, breathtaking in it's honesty. A must read for every lgbtqia+ person who has ever felt like they aren't enough and that the world would be better off without them, and every ally that wants to see the world become a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone. Highly recommended!
