Some are not for the faint-hearted.

Manga that have frogs and/or toads in them, can be real, can be items.

The joke here is communication about these is kinda weird unless specified that the response itself is the title.
"What's your fav manga?"
> Undecided.

Or if someone tuning in to a conversation between weebs would be extremely confused about it either by controversy or u sounding illiterate af:
> "My favourite manga is In Hand"
> "I love Children" ☠️☠️


I will also include series that are difficult to search and result in the complete opposite. eg;
Searching "Goth manga"
> The manga itself doesn't show, only images full of Misa Amane lmfao

A stack containing anthology manga series.
Anthology; a collection of artistic works or stories that have a similar form or subject.

All the manga that have a trans character I've read!

List that will always be updated

Some may be considered spoilers

Order from best to worst, from favorite to least favorite (in MY OPINION, a transmasc person)

Manga challenge featuring a manga for every letter of the alphabet. All are completed and 7 volumes max. so have fun and expand your reading list in some unexpected ways.
Disclaimer 1: We had no idea of the content of these manga before picking them, proceed with caution.
Disclaimer 2: MAL has changed several names from their alphabet original. They are in their original place on the list. Tsuki-Teki Aijin was previously Lunatic Lovers. Kanojo-tachi no X-Day was originally just X-day.

A list of some manga and one-shots that focus on one's gender identity

As a disclaimer, it's important to understand that unfortunately, there are very few manga that actually comment on gender identity issues, and sadly, the manga that try to tackle these topics are not the greatest in terms of quality.

The manga are listed from best to worst, in my perspective, with Hanayome wa Motodanshi being the "line" at which I'd actually recommend the manga. I have also included my review of how well I felt the story and topics were handled as well as potential triggers as a warning.

Also, note that some series that I included are disconnected anthology manga that I have not read in their entirety.
Extra note, I would love to add more but after 18 different entries I'm all gendered out.

Non-Mal comics/manga:

Sakura-Chan to Amane-Kun| by Asazuki Norito |7|
(Very short read that seems to be discontinued? I'm not sure about the status of the manga, but what's there is really good and enjoyable. It's just sad that it's unfinished.)

Is It Strange To Feel Dysphoric After Coming Back From An Isekai?!| by squipkechi |7|
(Pretty short and not very deep, but was a very pleasant read)

The Story of a Girl Who Likes Girls, and a Girl Who Used to be a Guy| by Masada Yuu |7|
(Extremely short and not deep at all, but I still found it to be very cute)

Manga with transgender girls/women.

Abstract, odd, weird manga I found.

A variety of manga I've enjoyed and would recommend, that are each three volumes long. Give them a try!

Collections of short horror stories arranged by popularity (excluding Junji Ito, Hideshi Hino, and Suehiro Maruo).

Nice, interesting, or otherwise worthwhile stories that you can knock out in a sitting and might not have heard of. Please consider checking out the respective authors' other work as well!

Official releases in English are listed when applicable.
