! alphabetically ordered !

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.)

this interest stack contains any manga with one/multiple queer characters, it doesnt have to be explicitly stated for me to include it in this stack, some of them are only implied. i tried to include only manga that i think are decent as well

Manga I gave a 10/10

Even more trans characters from shounen and seinen manga. Some are headcanons- those are indicated by question marks. Organized roughly by year.
