Wholesome, beautiful stories in fantastical worlds; magic

From main characters to love interests to best friends, I'd like to share a list of Japanese manga featuring trans men and masc people. Some transitions might be more "fantastical" than others (like, waking up in a guy's body one day or becoming a guy in a new world because of portal fantasy).

Let me know what else I should add.

NOTE: I personally will not add stories where the character is written to be a "cuntboy". Similar to "futanari", these are derogatory fetish terms used in hentai.

Books written about/in Brixton or by authors who lived there. Open to recs!

i used to have a book bin in the bathroom, mostly short stories and anthologies you could read in one go. @scampireads said that could be a list, so here it is. short story books, one story per visit. some are ultra-short (quickies, for those in a hurry), others give you ten minutes, in case your stomach is acting up. a few run longer, skip those unless you want half an hour in there and everyone at home worried. recommendations are much appreciated! (books in english and spanish)

Some books to explore the lives, art and times of the Bloomsbury group (and some of their friends and family)

For when music just won't cut it and you need a new weird hyperfixation.

All the books I have come across that include Fairies and the folk.

Books where the titular phrase appears in the story

A collection of retellings of mythology, fairy tales, and stories from the public domain.

Nonfiction books on my TBR

Books that capture the oddities and the strangeness that is being a woman. (Basically a performative way of saying weird girl lit)
