manga created by queer authors about queer experiences. woo!

These are manga that feature Asexual characters and often also Aromatic characters. Some of these focus on the asexual experience where as others just contain characters that are heavily implied to be aroace in stories that do not necessarily have much focus on asexuality.

Happy Pride Month!

These are some series that I have read/am reading. That are either centred around LGBT+ stories or has significant LGBT+ characters.

I did include Nagata Kabi's other works I haven't finished, just because I really enjoy her work and I'm planning on reading them soon anyway lel

I also do plan to add to this list as I read more manga :)

Manservice delivered on a Silver Platter. This list contains queer male-oriented representation, ordered by how I rate the manga in general. Some of the content is straight-up Bara while other entries merely have great manservice or gay representation.

Whilst some are more serious (and better) than others, they all tackle being LGBTQ+ in some form that are not the typical BL or GL manga. Characters who are canonically LGBTQ but are not main characters or queerness isn't explored don't count, and are probably in a different interest stack.

My definition of being tackled is loose, basically just where the main theme or focus is being queer, then it counts.

Will be updated as I find more.

Also no auto/biographys lol.

Practically all are completed- except around 2 bc they’re that good.
Wide range of genres and topics sort of organized together by their topic/subtopics and similarities.
Does not include other mangas by these authors so if you enjoy them check out the authors! Most are not problematic and have other really good stories, my fav authors are on my profile!
Free from SA and other such topics (unless it is for the plot and will be stated).

Missing stories: 10 years I loved you the most, the story about you x me, salad days, not for the faint of heart, spring snow, keep holding on, summer scent, 11:59 manga, the spooky love tale of gongchan seol.
