Reboots and remakes, made either by the original author or by someone new, from flashy updates of webcomics to classics remade anew. Excludes manga based on a pilot one-shots and adaptations of other media (such as multiple adaptations of a novel). Vaguely sorted.

A series of titles that are inspired by Osamu Tezuka's works, that use his characters directly often as well. The legitimacy i.e. if Tezuka Productions acknowledges of the existence of them, varies. Some fall closer to doujinshi verses a traditional serialization, but if it's got a listing of MAL - I'll list it here.

Other series to consider are "Unico The Beginning" or "Tezucomic".

Transgender (binary trans, non-binary, and/or intersex) manga with official English (at least partial) translations. Organized roughly by release order in Japan.

(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.)


Not on MAL:

"Onna" toshite Idakaretai... Seitenkan Shite, Hatsukoi wo Mou Ichido./Hold Me, Baby, As a Lady... -First Love Again in the Body of a Woman.
Sanae Takahashi (trans woman) (protagonist)
Machiko (trans woman) (supporting)

Kamisama, Boku wo Koroshite Kudasai - Otoko no Karada de Umareta Jigoku/The Pain of Living in a Male Body
Subaru Kawase (trans girl) (protagonist)

Even more queer manga published in English through Seven Seas Entertainment.
