| Which animanga do you feel had a trans character without the usual drawbacks in its writing? ex: (characters being bigoted is seen as a joke, they misgender themselves due to inconsistent writing, etc). In universe bigotry usually doesn't apply unless it's handled really poorly. |
| Definitely Zombieland Saga. The trans character has an important role and gets a really emotional (in a good way) backstory. |
spaesu said: the manga bokura no hentai is mostly really good all the way up till chapter 40 where it goes to real shit so I'd recommend reading it but skip that chapter if u want Bokura no hentai is actually a good one that comes to mind to me too, it's one of those mangas that explores all forms of feminine presentation for AMAB children, gay men, coping with trauma, trans girls, without disregarding either of them but acknowledging them all in their own right. EmiliAv3 said: Definitely Zombieland Saga. The trans character has an important role and gets a really emotional (in a good way) backstory. Also another good one! While it doesn't shy away from her she's not the focal point of the entire story? While animanga about trans narratives are nice sometimes it's also refreshing to see it also depicted as something normal and healthy, like with Hoshiai no Sora, where it barely takes up much time but it does treat it with seriousness. |
| Personally, Double House and I Wanna Be Your Girl handle it the best in my experience with showing negative aspects without it being grimdark in tone. Wandering Son is always an honorable mention but one of its trans adults tries to cheat on their significant other with a minor as a casual joke. It feels like it just contributes to more predatory stereotypes. It makes me a little reluctant that Wandering Son is the poster face for it, while good for its time it'd be nice if there are healthier examples and representation in the future. |
| Yes!! I really hope Kamatani keeps getting traction for their works, not only are they extremely talented with writing LGB(T)+ characters, but they're extremely talented and utilize visual storytelling wonderfully! Shimanami Tasogare is an S+ tier to me because it can discuss finding contentment with oneself and their identity along with addressing common bigotry at the same time and (chefs kiss) but it knows how to balance it. In general, I haven't seen a miss from LGBT+ mangakas, I hope they get more traction. Boys Run Riot is one I haven't heard of from the thread, so I'm really grateful! While trans fems are the ones who are definitely vulnerable to trans misogyny, I haven't seen trans mascs in media a lot, or in manga in general. Wish you the best of luck with your process with your identity too. :) |
 Hato, from Genshiken |
| stars align did a great job with its non binary character i think, although i wish it was explored more! |
my candy:  |
| Seconding Stars Align and Bokura no Hentai. And one of my personal favorites is from Fire Punch. Even though that manga is a very grimdark/edgy post apocalypse story, it handles its trans guy character in a pretty nice and sympathetic way. It's definitely on the more tragic unhappy end of the spectrum though. |
