I AM CRYING！ Sad， angry tears at first but happy happy tears at the end。This was such a simultaneously warm and confronting read。 This visually gorgeous and emotionally gripping manga memoir tells us of Ryousuke Nanasaki's painful journey towards accepting his sexuality and self-love in a massively queerphobic society; from dealing with unrequited love while closeted， facing comments such as "。。。it can't be cured？" to eventually throwing caution to the wind， accepting who he is and finding a I AM CRYING！ Sad， angry tears at first but happy happy tears at the end。This was such a simultaneously warm and confronting read。 This visually gorgeous and emotionally gripping manga memoir tells us of Ryousuke Nanasaki's painful journey towards accepting his sexuality and self-love in a massively queerphobic society; from dealing with unrequited love while closeted， facing comments such as "。。。it can't be cured？" to eventually throwing caution to the wind， accepting who he is and finding a soulmate in his now husband。I wish them the best！ And thank you， thank you Ryousuke Nanasaki for telling the world of your journey。This is the manga adaptation of his original essay novel， please consider reading it too。 An English version of it is as linked: Until I Meet My Husband 。。。more

This autobiographical manga was both heartbreaking and hopeful。 Seeing Ryousuke's journey from a scared and bullied child， to a man who refuses to let society and his own insecurities stand in the way of his happiness is rewarding。 Knowing this is a true story and that the lead is actively working to bring equality and joy to so many like him is beautiful。 This autobiographical manga was both heartbreaking and hopeful。 Seeing Ryousuke's journey from a scared and bullied child， to a man who refuses to let society and his own insecurities stand in the way of his happiness is rewarding。 Knowing this is a true story and that the lead is actively working to bring equality and joy to so many like him is beautiful。 。。。more

i preordered this in like november and pretty much forgot about it until now hehe， i liked it！！ obviously it was non fiction， and based on memoirs， so it wasn’t the most exciting read but i still think stories like these are important :） maybe i should read the actual memoirs too， because i think it would have to be condensed to fit into a manga format。 i really liked the art style too！！！

Bộ này là tự truyện của anh Nanasaki từ khi còn là một đứa trẻ với sở thích những thứ dễ thương khác bình thường đến khi trưởng thành và chấp nhận tính hướng của mình。 Đọc thì thấy nhanh， nhưng dù gì cũng là cả một đời người， với năm tháng dài đằng đẵng bị cô lập， lo sợ， đau khổ rồi yêu đương nhầm người， vẫn làm mình thấy xót xa lắm。“Hi vọng rằng kể cả khi không ai hiểu cho bạn， bạn cũng vẫn đứng về phía bản thân mình。”Yêu thương chính mình và sống thiện lương， rồi hạnh phúc sẽ đến。

I picked this up on a whim today while at BnB because the cover looked sweet and romantic。Oh。 My。 GOODNESS！！！ I was not prepared for that roller coaster。 Before today， I knew nothing about this man， Ryousuke Nanasaki。 Now， I know that he is a real person that has been on a difficult journey with acceptance of oneself。 In BnB， I didn’t actually read the summary when I bought it。 When I picked this book up today， I read the title as “Until I MET my Husband，” and I judge a book by its cover。 I was I picked this up on a whim today while at BnB because the cover looked sweet and romantic。Oh。 My。 GOODNESS！！！ I was not prepared for that roller coaster。 Before today， I knew nothing about this man， Ryousuke Nanasaki。 Now， I know that he is a real person that has been on a difficult journey with acceptance of oneself。 In BnB， I didn’t actually read the summary when I bought it。 When I picked this book up today， I read the title as “Until I MET my Husband，” and I judge a book by its cover。 I was wrong and not prepared for a “（True） Story by Ryuosuke Nanasaki。” After I read the entire manga and searched for it on this site， I see all the information that I was ignorant to。 The manga is a memoir and the title says “Meet” which has a more hopeful feel to it。 Because of this （and not reading the summary）， I was not prepared for the heartache， frustration， anger， and hope about the REAL person that this book is about。 Why does that tidbit make this hit harder？ ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿ヽ（°□° ）ノ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ 。。。more

This is my favorite manga。 It’s my favorite because it is real。 I saw the memoir that the manga is based on， and I got that too， and I thought “This is too tier”。 I’ve never read a manga that was essentially someone’s life and the path they go though。 More people should read this。 I am definitely going to read the memoir too。

This autobiographical manga was STUNNING！！！ Not only because of the art， but because of the heart of the story。 This man went on quite the journey to finding their husband， and I honestly don't want to say too much more。 I don't want to spoil the beauty that is this manga。 Please read this one。 It's one of the best manga I have read all year。 This autobiographical manga was STUNNING！！！ Not only because of the art， but because of the heart of the story。 This man went on quite the journey to finding their husband， and I honestly don't want to say too much more。 I don't want to spoil the beauty that is this manga。 Please read this one。 It's one of the best manga I have read all year。 。。。more

Beautiful， I am not good with words。 But this book made me cry a river。 I love the way they draw it。 I can feel the pain and the bittersweet of the story。 I hope I can have their happiness。

Câu chuyện được viết nên từ chính cuộc đời tác giả， những khó khăn mà tác giả đã trải qua trước khi gặp được tình yêu của đời mình。 Tất cả được tóm gọn trong 1 cuốn manga vì thế mình chưa cảm nhận được rõ ràng về những khó khăn đó

Tuy câu chuyện không phải quá mới mẻ nhưng vì dựa trên chuyện đời có thật của tác giả nên đọc thực tế hơn nhiều so với các tác phẩm truyện tranh cùng thể loại。 Nét vẽ cũng có chút ấn tượng riêng。 4- sao。

So với những quyển manga cùng thể loại như thế này， thì quyển này sát với thực tế hơn về cộng đồng LGBT+ （bởi dựa theo một câu chuyện có thật）。 Nói chung nội dung lẫn ending đều đáng đọc， để mình tin rằng hạnh phúc luôn tồn tại。
