Transgender manga that don't have any translation in English (official or fan-made) as of yet. I know there is more, but I just included ones where I knew the trans character's name.
I haven't read any of these (except half a chapter of G.I.D. in Japanese), so my trans labels may be incorrect.
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.)
