LGBT+ rep in non-GL/BL shows 2
AnimeSpoiler
SPOILER WARNING, speaks for itself
Welcome to part two of my LGBT+ anime stack! If you're here and haven't seen part one yet, I suggest you check that one out here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/14214
Like last time, this only includes series I've seen or know enough about to confidently say there's something zesty going on. Once again I've included descriptions for each character mentioned here and why I believe they fall under the LGBT umbrella.
Big WIP! Will add more whenever I think of them.

Hitori Gotoh (Bocchi) = Lesbian
Ikuyo Kita = Lesbian
In a recent manga chapter, while Bocchi is playing video games against another person, she's seen fantasizing about "becoming a pro gamer, get a sponsorship and a cosplayer girlfriend". This confims that Bocchi is attracted to other women, and since she hasn't shown any romantic interest in men as far as I know, it implies that she's a lesbian
Kita, throughout the show, is shown to be attracted to Ryo.

Ryusui Nanami = Bisexual
Francois = Non-Binary
In Chapter 142, Minami Hokutozai warns Ryusui to stop getting close with Tsukasa Shishio, as him and Ryusui are polar opposites and a bond between the two boys would never work out. Ryusui then shrugs off Minami's comments and proceeds to tell her "you may hate me with a passion...but I love you!!". He says to Minami (right after "confessing" to her) “I love all women, you see, so naturally that includes you. Men too!! I desire them all!! Including Tsukasa!!”
In Francois' character file at the end of Dr. Stone manga chapter 92, it states that Francois' full name, age and gender can all be found out easily, although their master, Ryusui, never thought it was important enough to ask and it appears that Francois doesn't have much of a problem with that. Though the members of the Kingdom of Science at first have many questions on the gender of Francois when they are first introduced, Ryusui sees them as nothing more than a diligent worker who has his and the village's utmost respect which goes beyond the need for knowing Francois' gender identity. After all, Francois' commitment to their job as a butler is more important to them than anything else.

The way Anzu goes out of her way to actively avoid any kind of romantic interaction with her potential love interests really gives off the impression that she doesn't form romantic attraction at all, or at least very little of it. Considering the way the show seems to be going, it's possible that she may be demiromantic aswell, but definitely somewhere on the aromantic spectrum.
Riri/Rio is shown to switch genders several times throughout the show with seemingly having no preference for whichever form they take. They are also referred to with they/them pronouns most of the time.

As someone who's aromantic myself, the way Kou speaks about his inability to feel romantic attraction and being unsure what it feels like really struck home with me. While not explicitly confirmed, his uncertainty and confusion about the subject of romance really feels like someone who is aromantic without realizing it. Similar to last entry, there is also a possibility that he's demiromantic, and needs to properly establish an emotional connection with the other person before developing feelings for them, in which it'd make sense that he'd never felt any kind of romantic attraction to people before meeting Nazuna since he didn't make an effort to connect with anyone.

Yamato = Transgender
Kikunojo = Transgender
Bentham/Bon Kurei = Genderqueer
Though he was born a female and is often referred to as the "Oni Princess" as a child, Yamato proclaims himself to be a man and Kaidou's son and uses he/him pronouns for himself. His father, despite having negative relationship with Yamato refers to him as his son and the main cast of characters also respect his pronouns. Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist, refers to him as Yama-o (lit. yama-guy or yama-bro) which he does with other male characters. Yamato uses the first-person Japanese pronoun "boku", which is typically used by young boys. At the bathhouse Nami offers for him to join with her and the other women but Yamato declines because there are no mixed baths and instead bathes with the men. He faces no push back from the male characters about joining them.
After Chopper hears Kikunojo described as “the most beautiful swordsman in the land of Wano,” he asks her if she is a man. She responds, “I am a woman at heart,” “kokoro wa onna desu,” meaning that she is transgender. Additionally, Kiku refers to herself as a woman in Chapter 916. At a bathhouse, she asks the other women if it is ok if she bathes with them, and is accepted without a proble.
Bon Kurei's gender is never directly labeled but he refers to himself as an "okama" or "newkama" and as being both a little bit of man and woman. He also labels most of his fighting moves with okama as the pre-fix. In Baroque Works he is not given a partner like the other male female teams because he is considered to be both man and woman. He always finishes a sentence with a "wa yo," which in Japanese reflects a feminine (if assertive) speech pattern.

Yuuri Shibuya = Bisexual
Wolfram from Bielefeld = Gay
Wolfram dislikes Yuuri right away upon his arrival in the demon Kingdom. When Cäcilie von Spitzweg leaves a special perfume in Yuri's bath which increases the feelings people have for its wearer (good or bad), Wolfram snaps and insults Yuuri's mother. Yuuri slaps him in response, saying that Wolfram can say what he wants about him but insulting his mother is unforgiveable. The others present ask him to take it back but Yuuri refuses. Once it's clear that Yuri will not take back what he's done, they explain that slapping someone across the face is a proposal of marriage in the demon kingdom. Wolfram, even more outraged, challenges Yuuri to a duel to defend his honor. Yuuri accidentally accepts and faces off with Wolfram the next day. Yuuri is allowed to define the type of competition and quickly wins, but Wolfram draws his sword and eventually attacks Yuuri with magic. Yuuri responds by using his own magic for the first time and beats Wolfram on all fronts. Though Yuuri is vocally unwilling to marry Wolfram, they remain engaged in all versions of media.

While still identifying as male, she had cross dressed to go undercover as a decoy to catch a serial rapist in the vice unit and, in the process, “went native" - effectively coming to identify as female. Now, Aoi is more feminine in appearance and personality than any of the women in the station. In the second series, Aoi states on several occasions that "my body is male, but my heart is female". This sentiment is echoed and supported by Aoi's coworkers, who act and react as though Aoi is a woman, despite knowledge to the contrary. Aoi's romantic gender preferences are often speculated on by the Bokutou police, but in the end it is discovered that Aoi prefers men.

Sakura Kinomoto = Pansexual
Syaoran Li = Bisexual
Yukito Tsukishiro = Gay
Touya Kinomoto = Bisexual
Tomoyo Daidouji = Lesbian
Sonomi Daidouji = Bisexual
Ruby Moon = Genderqueer
Sakura had a crush on her female math teacher, Kaho Mizuki, always commenting on how pretty she is and how dizzy she feels around her. She later found out that it was because she was drawn to her moon magic, but she acknowledges that her feelings towards Mizuki were the same as her feelings for Yukito, who she also had a confirmed crush on. CLAMP has stated in the 2001 memorial book that she would have loved Syaoran Li even if he was a girl, and that Sakura does not see gender as a barrier for her romantic attraction.
Syaoran had a crush on Yukito, always blushing and competing with Sakura for his attention. He even opens up to Sakura about his crush on him at some point. Latter Yue said to him that his attraction for Yukito was an attraction to his moon magic. But he never questioned why he was attracted to another boy at first place and just acted naturally such as giving gifts to him and wanting to get close to him, he only started questioning his feelings, like he shouldn’t be feeling this, when he started liking Sakura, which implies that he used to think he was gay and only discovered he was bi when he fell in love with Sakura.
Yukito is solely shown to be attracted to Touya, who he has a very close relationship with. Eventually they start dating.
Touya is shown to be attracted to girls. He once briefly dated Kaho Mizuki before she left for England. He has a close relationship with Yukito, and they are dating towards the end of the show.
Tomoyo has a huge crush on Sakura and loves making outfits for her, filming her, and always talks about how cute she is. However, one early chapter of the manga accidentally showed her having a crush on Touya, because the artist didn't know that Tomoyo liked Sakura, but this was fixed in a chapter by stating that she blushes around him because his ears look like Sakura's. She confesses her love to Sakura in the manga but she doesn't get it and thought she meant love in a platonic way.
Sonomi had a huge crush on Nadeshiko and resented Fujitaka for marrying her. She does eventually marry a man so that makes her bisexual.
Nakuru presents herself as female because girl's clothes are cuter, but she's technically genderless and she also admits gender identity doesn't really matter to her, so she could be considered genderfluid.

Hagi = Bisexual
Poor guy basically gets thrown into a spiral of questioning his sexuality after meeting Kohaku. Have not read the manga but I'm pretty sure he does admit to being bi in that and it comes up briefly in episode 3 aswell.
