Recs if you like Until I Love Myself: The Journey of a Nonbinary Manga Artist, Vol. 1...

They're here. This is a list of manga about adults in contemporary, non-fantasy settings. BL and GL are included here. SPOILERS: Actually some of them are unemployed as a plot point.

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.

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.

manga with trans main characters and/or about trans experiences (non-fiction). nonbinary identities are included in my definition of the trans umbrella.

creator's note: i haven't read all of these yet, so this isn't necessarily a list of recs. i just know these manga have trans mcs/non-fic authors. my personal favorites are boys run the riot, my journey to her, to strip the flesh, and after school mate, if you want some recs from a trans reader.

Books with either a trans mc or trans author or sometimes even both! -All books that I have read-

Graphic novels, comics and manga with heavier or more mature themes. Any genre welcome!

Comics about real life queer people
