Elska #47 Yokohama

This is the second edition of what was originally #9 issue, brought back by popular demand. It was made in Yokohama, Japan's second-largest city, where we set about finding more about this under-understood city via getting to know a smattering of men from its LGBTQ community.

Inside the issue, which has been remade from scratch, you'll meet eleven ordinary Yokohama residents who we photographed in their city's streets and/or at home. Then, you'll get to know these guys further with the addition of a personal story, written by each of them on any topic of their choosing.

Some of the stories you'll read here include: Yosh N's tale of coming out to his grandmother; Wataru S's self-introduction where he confesses to being a messed up, art-hag kind of fag; Ky S's reflection on whether moving to Yokohama from Vietnam was the right decision; and Jay W's epic about having an affair with his much older university professor.
