東方夫婦別姓~Separate Family Names
Here's the second installment of my Touhou manga. It's in the Japanese style, so please read it from right to left.
In Japan, when a couple gets married, they need to choose one of their last names to share. Currently, there's a significant political debate about whether to allow couples to have separate last names. I wonder how it will turn out?
Additionally, while same-sex marriage is not legally recognized in Japan, some municipalities accept a written oath of partnership, which has led to an increase in societal recognition of these partnerships.
*Note: I've received feedback that the horizontal speech bubbles can be difficult to read in the Japanese style. I have several pages that have already been completed, so those will be posted without modifications. However, I plan to use vertical speech bubbles for future works.
