The End of IWAKAN Magazine

Have you ever discovered something so inspirational or fascinating only to find out that it's no longer around?

I heard about IWAKAN Magazine in November. Iwakan (違和感) is an uncomfortable feeling or sense of discomfort. The magazine's tagline is, 「IWAKANは、世の中の「当たり前」に「違和感」を問いかける雑誌です。」or "IWAKAN is a magazine that questions discomfort with what is "normal" in the world." It is part art magazine, part queer zine, part activist discourse, featuring interviews from a host of performers, drag queens, queer community activists, feminists from in and outside of Japan.

It started in October 2020, during the worst of the pandemic and published about an issue every six months including video interviews that are up on their Instagram. Looking at the contributors, there were many folks I know in the Japanese LGBTQIA+ community, many whom are personal friends, who were interviewed or made illustrations for the magazine.

There are interviews with Japanese trans men and nonbinary folks on how their relationship to masculinity has changed over time. With lesbian sex workers on how they approach love as entertainers. With kabuki performers about how they personally inhabit the masculine and feminine spheres as they switch roles. It's an incredible archive of personal stories from the Japanese community, and many are radical and awe-inspiring.

I have heard blanket statements about the LGBTQIA+ community in Japan—how it's behind the U.S. by twenty years or how the community is non-existent, and that it's hopeless. The government and laws in Japan are painfully slow to change. But it's personally frustrating for me because in the streets of Ni-chome I see people organizing, protesting, taking action and fighting. There is hope. And IWAKAN is a record of those conversations, especially during a time when people were sequestered in their homes.

On December 20th, 2023 IWAKAN posted a blank white square on their Instagram with the words, "The end - IWAKAN" and a brief message: "We know this is a sudden announcement, but IWAKAN will cease production as of the end of this year...thank you to everyone who supported us."

My heart fell into my stomach when I read that. Only a month after I discovered this publication and they were ceasing production. There will be no more IWAKAN this year, the year when Japanese government is hearing the lawsuit for same-sex marriage.

But those voices are still alive. And their website (for now) is still alive. So I wanted to share my discovery with you.

You can still buy IWAKAN...for now

Until the end of this month (January 31st, 2024) you can buy physical copies of IWAKAN magazine on their store. Volumes 01~05 are only in Japanese, and Volume 06 is in English and Japanese.

If you live in Japan, please consider buying a copy.

Official store is here.

I made an unofficial translated archive

At the end of the month when the store deactivates, I am worried that we will lose the summaries, table of contents, and photographs of the magazine as well as a critical piece of Japanese queer history.

The degradation of Site Formerly Known as Twitter and shifting TOS of social media has made me aware about how we preserve queer media, especially personal stories about sexuality and gender. Some of the images of the magazine would be flagged as "porn" by social media sites though in context they are about discussions of queer liberation in sexuality.

I decided to make a small archive of each of the IWAKAN issues with photos of them and English summaries, translated by me. I hope this can preserve a piece of history online for longer.

Volume 01 特集女男 (Feminine/Masculine)

Volume 02 特集愛情 (Love)

Volume 03 特集政自 (Government/Individual)

Volume 04 特集多様性？(Diversity?)

Volume 05 特集（不）自然 ([Un]Natural)

Volume 06 特集男性制 (Masculinity)

未来の男性へーIWAKAN書簡集 (Dear Future Men - Letters from IWAKAN)

Please be aware Japanese is not my mother tongue, so if I have made errors, please get in touch to let me know.

Please spread the word if you find this interesting and want to spread this gem of Japanese queer culture.

8 正しく完遂させる為にただしくかんすいさせるために tadashiku kansui saseru tame ni In order to properly follow [things] through. (Note: The order of the lines here makes this confusing. He's saying that, in response to Izuku's final attack with his embers, the barest dregs of Yoichi's vestige was roused. This one last piece of his vestige remained likely because Izuku held back on his attack using Yoichi's vestige. Now that he, the base One For All quirk, has awoken, he will carry out the mission of One For All.)

Have been listening to 『なんか IWAKAN!』, which is a Japanese gender studies/queer podcast recently, both with an eye on a course I'm designing for next semester and as some chill listening practice for me, so this morning at 8:30 am I was jumpscared by them suddenly starting to talk about クワロマンティック (quoiromantic).

It's interesting listening, for anyone who happens to speak Japanese. One of the really striking things about it for me was how little they seemed to associate quoiromantic with ace or aro communities. Part of that is probably demographic--of the four people on this episode, one said they were probably ace and the other three are not--but it does mean that the conversation goes in different directions than a lot of the wtfromantic/quoiromantic conversations I have seen in Anglophone communities. For example, they spend a lot of time talking about how quoiromantic is helpful because many of them never thought about the difference between romantic and sexual orientation--but quoiromantic in Anglophone communities is often a pushback against romantic orientation. (Also, a lot of the examples that the regular presenters bring up would, in Anglophone ace communities, often tend to be classed as mismatched romantic and sexual orientations, e.g. a gay man having strong non-sexual attraction to a female friend or a straight woman having strong non-sexual attraction to a female friend.) There's also discussion of polyamory and alternative family/relationship structures, romantic friendship, the assumption that two people who have the possibility of being attracted to each other will always wind up dating, and S関係 (S relationships). It is really interesting to see a lot of conversations that I've seen primarily in ace communities being picked up and lauded as useful by larger queer spaces...but (at least in this case) being sort of divorced from a lot of their history and context. But, then again, it's a 40-minute podcast that's a supplement to a special issue of their magazine and an in-person event they were running, so they probably couldn't cover all possible topics. (Also I personally know most of the coiners and popularizers of wtfromantic/quoiromantic, so I may have...more knowledge...than is normal...)

(Also very charming when the guest speaker is like, "oh, can I swear on this show, do you have to bleep it out" and then upon getting confirmation that swearing is okay, going, "WHAT THE FUCK ロマンティック.")

#a post??? from Queenie???? in the year 2023??? what miracle is this #I don't remember what any of my tags are on this blog #asexuality in Japan #was that a tag???? I don't know.#quoiromantic #wtfromantic #anyway I have to go finish a book review and also check a proposal utilizing my research so. back to my slumbers

甘噛み

乾いた私を潤したそのくちびる　甘い蜜枯れそうな頃を　見計らい次の蜜で　また誘うの？

私の全てを　見透かしたような　くちづけ

離れないでね　離さないでちょうだい言うことなら　何でも聞くからねあなたの中　違和感でもいいから甘噛みで　残す　私を

あなたの余韻が　消える頃眠れない夜　見つめてるどうしてそんなに　優しいの次の人も　そう包むの？

たまにでいいから　私だけに　冷たくして

今日の誘い　今日してくるようなあなたでも　嫌いになれないのこれ以上を　求めること　しないから繋がっていて

離れないでね　離さないでちょうだい言うことなら　何でも聞くからねあなたの中　違和感でもいいから甘噛みで　残す　私を

Sweet bite

Those lips that quenched my thirst like sweet nectar, just at the time I was about to die. Will you invite me again to the next?

A kiss that seems to see through my whole being.

Don't leave me, okay? Please, don't let go of me. I'll do whatever you say, okay? So I don't mind if you leave in me the sense of discomfort inside you with your sweet bite.

When your afterglow fades away, I'm facing a sleepless night. Why are you so kind? Will you hold like this the next person, too?

Even if it's just once in a while, you are giving the cold shoulder only to me.

Today's invitation, it seems that it's coming today. I can't even hate you. I won't ask for anything beyond that, so stay with me.

Don't leave me, okay? Please, don't let go of me. I'll do whatever you say, okay? So I don't mind if you leave in me the sense of discomfort inside you with your sweet bite.

Dulce mordisco

Esos labios que saciaron mi sed como un dulce nectar, justo cuando estaba a punto de morir. ¿Me invitarías de nuevo al siguiente?

Un beso que parece que cala todo mi ser.

No me dejes, ¿vale? Por favor, no me sueltes. Haré lo que me digas, ¿vale? Así que no me importa si me dejas el sentimiento de incomodidad que llevas dentro de ti con tu dulce mordisco.

Cuando el placer desaparece, me encuentro frente a una noche sin dormir. ¿Por qué eres tan amable? ¿Abrazarás así también a la siguiente persona?

Aunque es solo de vez en cuando, me ignoras solo a mí.

La invitación de hoy, parece que hoy me llegará. No puedo odiarte ni siquiera a ti. No pediré nada más que eso, así que quédate conmigo.

No me dejes, ¿vale? Por favor, no me sueltes. Haré lo que me digas, ¿vale? Así que no me importa si me dejas el sentimiento de incomodidad que llevas dentro de ti con tu dulce mordisco.

7/9.10

ライティングスクールにいくまで知り合いの文章を書いていた。大枠はできてきた気がする。少し軽食をとってライティングスクールへ。今回もいろいろと話を聞けて楽しかった。それからiwakanのイベントへ。ここでは男性についての話を聞いた。いろんな気づきがあった。それから近くのヨーロッパ風にカフェで夜ご飯を食べた。あさりのエスニック酒蒸しが美味しかった。スープにバケットでめちゃ美味しかった。ワインが良くあった。グラタンも美味しかった。でも疲れてたからかすごく熱くなってしまって相手を不快な気持ちにさせてしまった。別れ方も最悪な感じになってしまった。その時間の自分の発言を振り返ったり��何がおかしかったのか考え込んでしまって寝れなかった。1日がものすごく長かった。次の日知り合いに少し相談して気持ちは軽くなったけど頭の片隅では気になって仕方がない。でも考えても一人で解決できる問題でもないからどうのしようもないのだけれど…

A wild 2023 recap post appears!

Stuff I made this year:

Fiction: Nope. Work continues to consume me. I DID write like 33k that maybe will be publicly accessible in the future, but who can say.

Playlists: I think the only two I remembered to share were Oleander (a playlist for my Wickedness character) and the vast and the void (what it says on the tin).

RPGs: Also a nope.

Knitting: Made a shawl! And a hat, technically, that I forgot to take pictures of.

Other stuff: Taught 5 classes, 4 of which were new preps! Did fieldwork in Japan for the first time since 2019! Gave an hour-long talk in Japanese! Presented on two conference panels! Finished two academic book reviews! Survived somehow! The period between August and December sort of doesn’t exist in my memory? I was doing things but almost all of those things were work, so. The isolation has been wearing on me, but with the combination of A. not having any time to do anything other than work and B. for Various Reasons questioning whether I want to stay at this job, it's been really hard to build local community. I'm going to try to work on that next year, but also I'm going to have two new preps again in the fall and one of my spring classes is already overenrolled, so who knows how effective that'll be.

Media I enjoyed this year:

Books: I read 46 books this year apparently! Top picks in no particular order: The Singing Hills Cycle (embarrassingly my jam), The Southern Reach Trilogy (shocking that it took me this long to read this), My Own Devices (even MORE shocking that it took me this long to read this), Imperial Radch (so AGGRESSIVELY my jam), She Who Became the Sun (this was a hilarious accompaniment to one of my fall classes), Camp Damascus (read this on a plane back from Japan which was An Experience), The Tale That Twines (loved the first book; the second book is even better), System Collapse (yeah, no one is surprised that I loved this).

TTRPG: Wickedness! This was the only new TTRPG I played this year, but it was really good.

Video games: Mask of the Rose and Saltsea Chronicles, both of which I want to/should poke at more. Special nod to 13 Sentinels which we enjoyed 90% of a lot.

Manga/comics: I think the only thing I read was The JOJOLands?

Fanfic: I didn’t actually wind up reading that much fanfic this year again, in part because I was reading so many books. A few picks, in no particular order: The Gardener (CR C2), Keys to the Castle (CR C2), Whistle Song (CR C2), pieces of (you) me (CR C2), Descriptions of a River Flowing (CR C2), Slip the Blindfold (CR C2), Heart to Heart (JJBA: JJL--PLEASE read this if you care about JJL at all), riverside beatitudes (JJBA: SDC), Fully formed, ready to run (ExU: Calamity). Honorable mention to Asking for More (Stranger of Paradise), which is a WIP but made me laugh so hard I hit myself in the face with my phone.

Films: I actually watched like eight movies this year! All but two of the new ones on a plane, to be fair, but. Top picks: Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse and Shoplifters (『万引き家族』). Honorary mention to Suzume.

TV: Finally finished Stone Ocean! It was good! Rowan and I are also like halfway through catching up on TGCF and it is also very good.

Podcasts: Continued to listen to way too many of these. Top picks: The Silt Verses, Trice Forgotten, Within the Wires (hey can we talk about the newest season? truly wild), and Re: Dracula. Honorable mentions to The Evaporated: Gone with the Gods, 『なんかIWAKAN！』 (WHICH IS TRAGICALLY ENDING???? where am I supposed to get my chaotic Japanese gender and sexuality discussion now :(((((), Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later, Critical Role, and Worlds Beyond Number.

Music: Dessa's Bury the Lede was excellent, of course. I also apparently listened to Maisie Peters' The Good Witch a lot (it was in my grading rotation in October). And then this past month there's been a lot of Hozier's Unreal Unearth. But a lot of my listening this year was either albums on the bus (rotating mainly between Quiet Company’s We Are All Where We Belong, Bury the Lede, yorushika’s entire discography that I can purchase, Wednesday Campanella, and various soundtracks) or putting something on loop and falling into a fugue state. Apparently my top song of the year on Spotify was “Square One,” which I think I put on looping while grading in the spring. My Spotify top songs list was even more inexplicable than usual this year.

Anyway, あけおめ！！！良いお年を！！！ (or else!!!!)
