Quality manga with good stories which include characters that are transgender, crossdressers, body swapped, LGBT, etc.

Most manga have complex characters with substance to the stories.
Wrote a sentence for each manga that lightly describes what each one is about.

- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga
- I Will Allow a few others of those series if there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

This list is a social experiment, a study about the manga vs the reader.
What you gonna feel while reading each manga in this list may be either a unique great or devastating for your mental sanity.

Interesting and notable titles from Shueisha's seinen magazine line.

Part 2 of a list of animated adaptations, of which if they were given, they would possibly shake up social networks for some other reason.

Note: the reader already knows about this secret from the start (no spoilers).

In this stack, I'll sort the recommendations into different categories.
Category A: MC's secret is the main plot of the manga.
Category B: MC's secret is important but does not constitute the main plot.
Category C: MC's secret was important in the beginning, but the "secret" nature of it gets ditched as the story progresses.

This is not a complete list, I may add more entries as time goes on. If you find any manga which deals with this particular trope, feel free to send me a message.

More transgender girls and women in manga

As per title, a list of ecchi mangas with a good serving of nudity, that isn't borderline-H, but doesn't censor nipples either. Must have at least a decent plot. For people with such a specific taste.

PS: There's an additional manga I can't find here called 'Unique Skill: Slave Encyclopedia'. It only has one Vol., but looks promising!

Gender-bending (sex changing through supernatural methods) characters who turn out to like their new gender and come out as transgender. Some are debatable.

Manga that have managed to reach the milestone of 100 chapters or more, but not 200 or more.

I remember reading a transcript of a conversation between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno in which one of them said something along the lines of "the heart of manga is fetishism". I don't remember which, but the other agreed, and they were right.

Transgender manga without official translations but have (at least partial) fan translations in English. 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.)
