Recs if you like Just Like Mona Lisa 01 (Just Like Mona Lisa, #1)...

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

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.

Manga that I feel in my soul is subtextually or explicitly queer.

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.
