Mangas in which one or more of the main characters are trans.

Part 6: [SOON]

I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

- Note: I haven't read every single one of them. It's a small collection for those who love short manga.
-Note 2: I might add an entry twice. I try my best to add only entries I haven't added yet.

Lesbian Autobiography Manga. Manga created by lesbian (or bi) women.

Plica-Chan Manga is also recommended.

More trans characters from fan-translated manga. Some of my trans labels are headcanons- those are indicated by question marks.
Organized roughly by year.

(My definition of a trans manga is one that has a main trans character. Them being transgender may or may not be a big impact on the story.)

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55094

Includes manga that has some level of queer romance, or explores sexuality and/or gender identity themes, not tagged as Boys/Girls love.
