About Elska Yokohama (Japan):

This is the second edition of what was originally our 9th 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.

‘Elska Yokohama’ features eleven chapters, dedicated to the following local participants: Yosh N, Ky S, Wataru S, Zhi L, Ryoji S, Jay W, Ken M, Kazuta S, Patrick Inada A, James A, and Tyler J.

We also recommend ordering the companion zine ‘Elska Ekstra Yokohama’, available separately, to get more exclusive content. This includes one more Yokohama guy for whom there wasn't room in the main mag, Krish S, plus four more men from beyond Yokohama shot by the guest photographers Benjamin Fredrickson, Lauro Justino, and Łukasz Rusznica.

Details and Specs:

The e-version of ‘Elska Yokohama’ is 170 pages. It has been adapted from the print version and so there are some differences, such as the moving of double-page spreads onto a single page and a few alternate images.
