Focuses on the discussion of LGBT experiences (so don't expect any bl or gl). It is my fave LGBT manga ever written and the art is so beautiful. It deals with prejudice, overcoming internalized homophobia, and the exploration of sexuality and gender. Read this if you want an LGBT manga written by a member of the LGBT community for the LGBT community.

An autobiographical manga written by a lesbian, detailing her experiences with her sexuality and mental health. It's very thought-provoking and I cried reading this. Her experiences with her depression and eating disorder are also documented, which really just makes this manga feel so raw. It's not an easy read, so tread with caution.

I feel like my review can't do this story justice, so just read it okay?? It's really bittersweet and I cried when I finished, but it also really makes you Think.
An autobiographical comic about the life of a trans woman from birth, transition, and marriage. I'm so happy she found such a nice supporting husband and that she finally managed to feel happy with her gender. I love the tidbits about LGBT laws/history/terminologies included in the manga because it also serves to be educational. I wish nothing but the best for the author and her husband <3
Follows a trans boy and his exploration of gender and sexuality through clothes. There's not a lot of trans rep in mangas/webtoons and those with trans characters are often written terribly. It's updating pretty slowly but I'm interested to see how this goes. Bonus: author is a trans man too.
