Thx so much for translating this. My only critique would be that I wish the manga was able to adapt more of the novel. But of course the manga would have to be more than one volume long to do that.
I appreciated all the translator's notes at the end of each chapter to fill in some of the novel content that the manga didn't include. Even if the autobiography never gets an official English translation, it was very enjoyable to read it's manga adaptation!
I hope one day Japan will finally fully legalize same sex marriage. I know some parts of Japan have civil union ships. With how ultra conservative the Japanese government is, the chances of full same-sex marriage right seems pretty bleak, but I know the LGBT activist groups in Japan will keep fighting for their rights!
