Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.

Best manga that newly published in 2021!

Composition is one of, if not, the most important aspect for storytelling within a visual medium such as manga and comics. Commonly referred within the world of cinematography as the "Split-Screen" or "Frame within a Frame" these techniques are often used to show division between characters or separate actions or perspectives simultaneously.

Another technique known as "Double Exposure" might also be considered. Similar to the former, these shots typically have a character appear in frame (often mirrors, reflections, or overlays) to symbolize duality of personality or inner conflict. Overlaying images such as "Sayornara Eri" are compatible with the list and are technically sharing both of these technical shots. If there are too many entries I will make and link a dedicated stack.

One Shot manga with their pages shown do not count.

Search "Cover Collection" to see my other themes!

pretty self-explanatory.
Manga from the alternative manga magazine Comic Beam that have been officially published in English. Since Comic Beam has a broader audience than most alternative manga magaziness, it's arguable whether it should be considered one, but I still included it. It would be updated every time a new one is announced/comes out. Hope to update it as many times as possible!!
If I forgot something, please let me know.

If there are any other magazines you would like me to do this for, please let me know. Would love to know if you make some lists like this yourselves, I would add them to the links!

More 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.)
