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

There are a fair number of LGBT mangakas who write memoirs of their lives. I haven't read all of these yet.

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.

LGBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, binary transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, intersex, queer, pansexual, asexual, aromantic, etc.) characters in mangas I've read that are not listed as Boy's Love or Girl's Love on MAL.
