Trans Manga Officially Published in English part 1
Manga
Transgender (binary trans, non-binary, and/or intersex) manga and light novels with official English (at least partial) translations.
Some of my trans labels are headcanons- those are indicated by question marks.
Organized roughly by release order in Japan.
(My definition of a trans manga is one that has a main/major supporting trans character. Them being transgender may or may not be a big impact on the story.)
