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.
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.
Until I Meet My Husband was an engaging autobiographical tale of the experiences of a young Japanese gay man coming to terms with his sexuality and negotiating prejudice and heartache before finally finding love. The author speaks candidly about his thoughts, actions and experiences, managing to weave a narrative that was at times emotional, at times self-deprecating, but which ultimately offered a message of hope. I think it's a book that could definitely aid others in a similar situation, offering courage and encouragement, and I am giving it 4.5 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
