I edit this list often.

yuri / wlw / GL manga by women, for women. this is a work in progress -- feel free to send recs!

It's hard to find queer Manga and it's even harder to find ones with good representation.

Manga with queer themes are often extremely sexualized (yaoi and yuri for example). They often feel very disingenuous, as if the person writing the Manga has never even talked to a LGBTQIA+ person. These Manga are often written for straight audiences that just want to get off to a gay couple.

But luckily there are a few Manga that have really good representation and that are often even written by a queer person.

Here are my recommendations as a person that is also part of the LGBTQIA+ community:

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

manga featuring characters that engage in any form of self-harm.

if you know anymore series that fit into this category, please message me & i will add your contribution!

Manga against the patriarchy.

Sequel to my Great 1-Volume-Only Manga Series stack.

A bit trickier to complete and curate, but I am somewhat satisfied with the end result.

This stack is for any manga prominently featuring sapphic characters that was published in a female-oriented manga magazine.

Note: There are plenty of sapphic shoujosei manga, this is just a small selection.

This list has manga that have self harm mentioned/shown quite frequently.
all forms of self harm not just cutting!!
