Author(s): Haruno Nanae
Genre(s): Drama / Gender Bender / Josei / Shoujo Ai / Slice Of Life

This manga is surprisingly nuanced and interesting in it's depiction of trans women. The initial depiction of transphobia is cliche. However, it improves as the story progresses.

While listed as a yaoi, this has a mc that is very easily interpreted as a trans woman. Despite this, this manga does contain rape and other sexual abuse.

Genre(s): Gender Bender / Mystery / Psychological

The manga contains a rare depiction of a trans man. The trans main character is heavily sexualized, making the representation incredibly difficult to enjoy. I mean,,, come on. The cover speaks for itself lol. It is a solid mystery manga tho.

This is the best representation of LGBT people I have ever seen in manga. It presents many types of trans characters, including trans men, women, and non-binary people.

Author(s): Ikeda Riyoko
Genre(s): Drama / Historical / Tragedy

This manga thrives within the 70s shoujo aesthetic, so it comes across as melodramatic at times. The main character is a trans man in historical France.

Author(s): Mochino Kome
Genre(s): Yaoi / Drama

This is a yaoi centred on cis men, but an important side character is revealed to be a trans man in chapter 6. His fatherly relationship with the mc is heartwarming. That stated, this manga has lurid depictions of CSA and rape.

Author(s): MORIHASHI Bingo,SUWARU Koko
Genre(s): Drama / Gender Bender / Romance / Shounen Ai

The mc of this manga is a trans woman. There is an accurate portrayal of dysphoria and hopelessness, but this also leads to the biggest flaw of the work. It presupposes ideas of what it means to be trans and presents the state of being as ignorable and pointless. It's very sad.
