**Expect mild spoilers as I give extremely brief reviews for each title.**

This list will always be in alphabetical order. Some will have adult scenes but none will contain force, blackmail or BDSM.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something I would recommend at least trying.

This stack is for all of the lighthearted yuri manga that I have rated 6 or higher. This includes currently published manga that will be getting a 6 or higher from me, unless something changes, when they end and I finish reading them. This stack will be updated as I find new titles.

This stack is for all of the manga that made me or almost made me cry. Just because a series is listed here does not mean it was depressing. Some of these are mostly happy save for that one story or scene which made me well up. All manga in this stack are manga that I have finished and given a rating of 6 or above. This stack will be updated as I find new titles. Make sure you have lots of tissues.

My animé version of this list; https://myanimelist.net/stacks/24502

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55914
Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55926
Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55937

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.)

-Still in the same body (not body swapped)
-Have a physical change
-Not reincarnated as the opposite gender
