Recs if you like At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender...

Sometimes there are books with terrible intersex rep (as reported by the intersex community) so I have tried to keep those books off this list. Please let me know if you have recs (or anti-recs) in the comments.

Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.

Note: I have NOT read all of these. It’s more a collection of a genre than intended as a recommendation. Do your research! :)

Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles

In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

Get ready to meet a diverse cast of nonbinary characters who are the protagonists of their own stories. Recommendations welcome!

THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION LIST. Inclusion on this list doesn't necessarily mean the rep "worked" for me (as an agender person). There's just so little manga with non-cis characters that this list is literally everything I was able to think of that I've read and meets this criteria. Therefore your mileage may vary on how you feel about the rep contained in them.

I encourage folks to suggest more titles so I can add them! And so I can read them, lmao.

Queer memoirs in graphic novel form. May have subtle queer notes or about queerness. Middle grade, young adult and adult!

Open to suggestions!

We get flooded with Yuri and Yaoi of varying quality... so instead here are some manga about the gender queer/transgender experience that aims felt were super refreshing and gave a great view into current LGBT+ struggles in modern Japan. Only the first book in a series is included.

Queer manga that will make you laugh, cry, and feel!

I only put the first volumes of the series

I might update it later

We've always been here and we will always be here

These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.

Intersex Representation.

I asked for some manga recs that were adults (18+) and lgbt+ so I am putting them in this list to share the recs to the world. Thank you to all who helped give so many recs!

Books with Trans rep and all the identities under the Trans umbrella, like non binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, etc.

Comics about real life queer people
