A list of mangas that inculde asexual, aromantic or aroace characters

Manga involving different sexualities and gender identities, aside from heterosexual, lesbian, gay & cisgender.

Important mention: I am only including manga that focus on the sexuality/gender of the queer characters (at least quite a bit) or their journey to discovering themselves. So just having a queer character in a manga is not enough.

If you're looking for short reviews for each one, I do have a post on my blog discussing them. Unfortunately, I can't provide a link here, but you can find one on my profile.

DISCLAIMER: not every title on this list is trying to be a "good and realistic representation". You've been warned.

List of manga with characters on asexual spectrum! Includes everyone from protagonists to side characters.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.
