This long-awaited reissue of contemporary artist Akira the Hustler's classic work, first published in 2000 and then in Korea in 2018, is here! In the late 1990s, when AIDS was a deadly disease, Akira worked as a sex worker. This diary chronicles the encounters with his clients, his lover, and his daily life with many friends. In an era when stories about queer people and sex workers were often told with a dark and sad tone, this story, told with a cheerful and joyful tone, remains relevant even 25 years after its publication, illuminating and warming the hearts of readers. Available in both Japanese and Traditional Chinese, with Korean and English translations. From the publisher: Loneliness Books
