After all, this was the path that led me to my husband. I was blessed with a lot of friends in my life, so I was by no means lonely. But eventually those friends were going to marry people of the opposite sex and settle down. Sooner or later, I would be the only one left. If it turned out to be too hard, worst-case scenario, I could always just kill myself, right? No one would miss me, so there was nothing to fear. It would be a lot easier than spending the rest of my life unloved and alone. I made the mistake of reading the Until I Meet My Husband manga adaptation first, which was a real disappointment. That aside, this novel accomplishes exactly what it was meant to. I honestly don't think it's one I'll be particularly interested in rereading - I'm old enough now, and secure enough in who I am, to not really need the intense encouragement that comes in the final pages, and I think it's the type of book that's better to send out into the world to find its next reader. But I'm glad I picked it up, and I'm super glad that it was published to begin with - in an English translation, sure, but also in Japanits original and intended audience. Ryousuke's story is, as he points out, a highly individual one about his specific life - he's careful to explain that not all gay people are the same and that each person, and each relationship, is as unique as a straight one. But he is also telling an important and impactful story about being queer in Japanese society - which is still pretty closed-off in some ways, but was even more difficult for a young gay boy in a rural town to navigate in the '90s. Ryousuke literally didn't know at first that gay people existed, and once he began to recognize that he was "different" from the "normal" people around him, he continued to think that he was completely alone. One part that's super interesting that was left out of the manga is that his first girlfriend ended up being an unintentional mutual beard Because the reality was Ryousuke wasn't alone at all, and there were probably a lot of other people he'd met throughout his life who weren't straight, or cis, but societal pressures and prejudices kept them from bl couples that are dating in real life talking to each other, or revealing their true selves when they needed it most. This book bl couples that are dating in real life Ryousuke's way of fighting back against the pain he lived with for more than two decades - the worst of which was the self-hatred that those societal limitations forced upon him. His story's painful and hilarious and maddening and wrenchingly dark by turns I admit to sometimes being startled by the rawness of the experiences he laid out on the page It's a tough read in some spots, and because it is a true story, it's occasionally hard to fight back the judgmental responses - which Ryousuke points out in his own narrative.

Maybe there was some series like that, because I vaguely remember writing about one something like "I normally don't like this trope, but here it worked," but nothing comes to mind right now.

While visiting a small town during the summer holiday, Henry meets two older boys named Jason and Eddie. Honestly, the afterword was one of my favorite parts of the book. She held everyone together and came up with the best plans to take down Knock's crazy girlfriend. Absolutely loved this collection of essays! For me it was especially enjoyable because my partner grew up in Japan, so it gave me great context for what his school life might have looked like on a day to day level. That didn't come across so well in the manga. It's a very quick and pacey read and the kind of book you could finish in a day if you've got an uninterrupted period of a few hours. I think it's something like I perceive the written word and drawings differently than I do watching live people on screen. GIF by babynine. I also liked all the information in the afterword about the people mentioned throughout the book - the "where are they now" of Ryousuke's old friends and exes. Favourite female identifying character?
