    there needs to be more transgender yuri manga

    currently i can only think of:

    • double house (really good, only 4 chapter though)
    • hello melancholic (transness is subtext, but imo pretty much undeniable that minato is trans. read it and you'll see what i mean)
    • kashimashi girl meets girl (magical transformation, not textually trans but she accepts being magically turned into a girl very easily)

    i know there's some i'm forgetting, since i am very seepy, but there should be way more. wandering son maybe counts? i should reread it

      Right? While regular yuri manga satisfies the itch, I wanna see more trans girls in the medium. Especially in yuri.

        not manga, but (as always) i will recommend unjust depths which is very much in that space

      I Wanna Be Your Girl comes to mind, although I have to admit it's still in my to-read list, so I can't personally vouch for its quality.

      EDIT:

      spoiler for this manga but it’ll save you some disappointment

      Sadly, I’ve learned that this isn’t yuri; the trans girl ends up being straight for some guy. So not the representation I, a transbian, was hoping for.

        iirc that's about a girl with a crush on a straight trans woman

          Ah, I was under the impression it was about a trans girl finding herself and her cis friend falling for her (and vice verse). Sad if it's just unrequited love on one side.

            i remember it being good but the cis girl falls for her as the trans girl is in love with a man

              Damn, looked up some reviews and you’re absolutely right. So it’s probably still a nice read for a straight or bi transfem wanting representation, but fuck us transbians, I guess.

                yeah. i did realize i forgot wandering son, the main character of which is a transbian, and a 2 chapter thing in mermaid line, but there's not much in the space sadly

                (unjust depths is a good communist webnovel that's like 70% transbians (possibly more, characters are newly revealed as trans like every chapter) and i can't recommend it enough. not a yuri manga, but it's heavily inspired by similar genre spaces)

                ~also we need to fix the dropdown thing, i shouldn't need to surround every individual word with tildes when i'm trying to not be obnoxious when recommending unjust depths for the 10th time in a week~

                  Could always spoiler it instead? Which works for me both on the hexbear web interface and the mobile lemmy app I'm using. e.g.,
