1. Shimanami Tasogare! Always my first recommendation; it focuses on a gay boy who struggles to find acceptance and stumbles upon a lounge for the LGBT+. The author, Yuhki Tamanaki, is x-gender and asexual, and their art and the story is absolutely amazing!
2. Blue Flag! This has a lot to do with not just the LGBT+ community, but also changes in character and their relationships. The ending didn’t bring as much closure as I wished it did, but it was still a good read !!
3. My Son is Probably Gay! This is actually just a really fluffy manga,, it’s in the perspective of a mother who supports her son who’s very obviously gay but isn’t out to the family

4. My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness! Nagata Kabi illustrates her experiences struggling with her mental health and sexuality. It’s kind of NSFW?? like, it’s not focused on sex but she hires a prostitute to help her figure things out so just psa ig. There’s also a sequel!
5. My Brother’s Husband! After Yaichi’s brother passes away, his brother’s husband Mike comes to stay with him and his daughter in Japan for a little while, and Yaichi starts to learn more about his brother, acceptance, and what family really means. THIS ONES SO GOOD I CRIED
6. The Bride was a Boy! Chii draws her experience about meeting her husband and her life as a trans female! super cute story <33
7. Wandering Son! A story about the lives of two kids who are transgender, as well as their changing relationships and emotions. shsjdk I didn’t actually finish this one yet but so far it’s pretty good! there’s also an anime if you’d prefer to watch that
8. Mermaid Line! A collection of different stories of different couples :) My personal fav was Ayumi and Aika
these r manga that were rly enjoyable to read and focused on the life of members of the lgbt+ community and identity struggles/the struggles of being in the community in general!! my personal favs r shimanami and my brothers husband @captainosuke
