(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

A list of disturbing mangas where the queerness of the protagonists holds a central place in the plot, because i am personally growing increasingly frustrated and/or bored with the innocuous queer representation in utterly sterilised mainstream medias.

These queer mangas are ambivalent, some of them might deal in harmful tropes, but they are interested in queerness, and won't treat it as fragile porcelain or unstable explosive.

TW everything you can think of, like this stack is not a most-hardcore-stuff-you-can-read marathon list, but honestly the only reason it's not classified +18 is because i didn't include any Gengoroh Tagame.

The stuff that's a little offbeat for the discerning audience.

Manga I consider underrated and amazing!

[Updated regularly as I uncover more gems!]

What it says on the tin. Stories I thought were particularly good featuring queer men. Some are BL, some are not. It's literally just my personal taste!

So, you completed the Doukyuusei series, Given and Twittering Birds Never Fly? Here's what I'd recommend to read next! I always advocate consent and unproblematic relationships, but be aware some of the titles include explicit or heavy content. This interest stack is neither ranked nor in order, and is fully based on my own subjective taste. Cheers!

Manga/manhwa titles that heavily emphasize mood, atmosphere, and ambiance in their storytelling and artwork.
