Transgender manga without official translations but have (at least partial) fan translations in English. 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 trans character. Them being transgender may or may not be a big impact on the story.)

"Bad" or at least questionable representation on LGBT character in manga.
To clarify, I don't even personally dislike all these characters or manga, but sometimes I felt that they weren't treated well in the context of the series. I'll try to explain my reasoning.

tw: rape, grooming/pedophilia, molesting, homophobia/transphobia/biphobia/acephobia/queerphobia, etc.
