- Smells Like Green Spirit! (Has an official Spanish translation) In a small Japanese town, Futoshi Mishima, an effeminate gay boy, is mercilessly bullied at school. A chance encounter with one of his bullies, Kirino, who steals his makeup for personal use, causes the two of them to realize they have more in common than they realize. Major fucking content warnings for homo/trans/queerphobia, bullying, and sexual assault but it's so so fucking good if you can handle those topics. The ending made me cry so hard the first time I read it that I wound up dry-heaving into my trash can, which is either a warning or an endorsement. The only transhet BL worth reading.
- Love Gene XX/Renai Idenshi XX: In a future where a disease has rendered men extinct, women are split into "Adams" and "Eves" in order to keep society running. Aoi, who has been assigned as an Adam, quickly becomes rivals with Sakura, a fellow Adam. Oh No What Will Happen. "Yuri" manga written by the writer/artist team who created Love Stage, if you've heard of that. The explicit moral of this series is about how we should dismantle the gender binary.
- Villain: The English scanlation is technically unfinished, but it's a manga adaptation of the Teniwoha! As expected, it's about, to quoth my journal, "miserable genderqueer teenagers completely unable to articulate their own feelings" in modern-day Japan.
