Best manga depictions of queer members in society.

BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai manga are fiction but some hit too close to home for how realistic the situation, environment, and/or characters they have. Because of this, they tend to be on the mature side and tackles the situations that people in same sex relationships experiences in real life.

manga created by queer authors about queer experiences. woo!

Manga that I really like. These entries are generally josei and gekiga series that aim to accurately portray contemporary life. I'll update this occasionally, and I'm open to reccomendations. No entry should rely too much on genre tropes or be fantastical.

I'm not opposed to including series published in shonen or seinen magazines, such as Inu wo Kau. But most series from such magazines are genre works, focused on being fantastical and giving an idealized view of the world. Many of these works deal with sexual themes, such as sexual assault or LBGTQ+ characters. I'm also using "contemporary" to mean the last 50 or so years. Not entirely accurate I know, but "not fantastical" doesn't have the same ring to it I feel.

Not all of these are fully translated.

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.

~ a fun time capsule with a glimpse into what was deemed award-worthy during that time period

Lesser known manga that I think more people should read.

These manga will be about Queer people, made by LGBTQ identifying mangaka. The manga may be explicitly autobiographical, or just have Queer themes. While there may be many other closeted Queer peopled within the manga industry, these stories are by explicitly "out" authors. Please enjoy, so more authors feel like they can come forward to be their authentic selves. :)

Happy pride! Here are some good manga to check out this month!

A lot of these are BL manga, but not all of them!

Works in which the main character has suffered the loss of their spouse. No spoilers.
