(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

are you sick of high school plot lines? me too

Manservice delivered on a Silver Platter. This list contains queer male-oriented representation, ordered by how I rate the manga in general. Some of the content is straight-up Bara while other entries merely have great manservice or gay representation.

Manga, manhwa and manhua about gods & godesses interacting with each other or interacting with/ Living amongst other beings like humans, demons or yokai.

Manga with LGBT+ characters that do not focus on romance—some have romance in them, but it isn’t the main focus of the story.

Retracing the steps of a lost loved one. Fulfilling last wishes. Understanding the departed's heart. Grieving, healing, and moving on.

I only count the editorials that stills publishing to this day: IVREA, Panini Manga, Ovnipress, Kemuri, Utopia, Distrito Manga and Pop Fiction.

[POP FICTION ALSO PUBLISHED UROTSUKIDOJI]

Manga where a character’s hair is stylized to be textured with stars or other patterns. Not a guarantee of quality, I just really like how it looks.

Let me know if I’m missing some, I swear I’ve seen this more than what’s on the list.

most have lgbt characters, some just have ~the vibes~

also recommended but isn’t on MAL:

Ame ga Shinai Koto: About an aroace woman and her relationships with the people around her.

Little to no romance between them, and if there is it has prior friendship development beforehand

Ephemerality is the quality of existing only briefly.

Mono no aware (物の哀れ),[a] lit. 'the pathos of things', and also translated as 'an empathy toward things', or 'a sensitivity to ephemera', is a Japanese idiom for the awareness of impermanence (無常, mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

"This too shall pass" (Persian: این نیز بگذرد) is a Persian adage translated and used in several languages. It reflects on the temporary nature, or ephemerality, of the human condition — that neither the bad, nor good, moments in life ever indefinitely last. The general sentiment is often expressed in wisdom literature throughout history and across cultures, but the specific phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets.

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
Satou-kun ga shinde kara
chinoke ga isuru
happyEND (Zinbei)
Kare to Obake to Ren'ai Shousetsuka
Tenshi ga ita kyoushitsu
