What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

You should change the list name to Realistic Representation of Gay Men with a Small Splash of Gender Identity and Lesbian Stories. There isn't enough of a mix in genre on here as it mostly consists of yaoi. Just FYI and I mean absolutely no offense by it. As far as yuri realistic rep, check out What Does The Fox Say?, Aoi Hana, Ohana Holoholo, Asagao to Kase-San and the sequel, Lily Love 1 & 2, Serenade, Octave or Cresent Moon & Doughnuts. I don't have any to recommend for gender identity issues as there is a very small amount of those manga that are done correctly.
