LGBTQ+ characters in seinen, josei, or just mature manga

a list of titles for anyone who wants to read outside of their usual genre using titles with each letter of the alphabet. manga has been chosen on the basis that it is non-mainstream, so is less likely to have been read, or is the closest to the letter theme as possible

disclaimer: i have not read all of these. some, like G.I.D. are notoriously hard to find, but (hopefully!!) there is something here that piques your interest and you find something new!! have fun reading!! :)

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.)
