Jackbull’s fan-favorite GL manhwa is available in English print for the first time! Yoon Sora may be the top student in her class, but her social skills are way below average—she can barely make eye contact with someone without breaking into a nervous sweat. Luckily for Sora, she happens to meet Woo Haena, a rambunctious student from a different school that’s infamous for poor academic performance. The two girls strike a deal: Haena will help Sora get a boyfriend, and Sora will help Haena get into college. But as they try to achieve both goals, their alliance just might turn into something more…
I took a deep dive online to find queer manga and manhwa series recommendations for your TBR! I found a ton of stories in this format with queer rep that I’m dying to share with you. I was able to put together a pretty comprehensive list across different vibes and genres in the hopes that anyone can find a new queer manga or manhwa series to love
To be a little more specific, I chose stories from the more common Yuri and Yaoi genres, which you might know as Girl’s Love (GL) and Boy’s Love (BL), respectively. I also picked stories with Ace and Trans rep that have nothing to do with romantic relationships at all. So, whether you like romance or not, I’m sure you’ll love one of these queer manga or manhwa series. There’s also more manga than manhwa on this list, mainly because the focus is on series, and I found that queer manhwa has more standalones that have been translated into English than it does series.
But without further ado, let’s dive into seven queer manga and manhwa series that you should add to your TBR right now!
7 Queer Manga and Manhwa Series for Your TBR
Our Dining Table by Mita Ori
Let’s kick things off with a beautiful BL series that is warm, sweet, and perfect for any foodies out there! The story follows a lonely salaryman named Yutaka. He has a talent for cooking, but struggles to eat around other people. One day, Yutaka meets two brothers named Minoru and Tane. They try his food and love it, so they ask him to teach them how to cook. Slowly but surely, Yutaka learns to love the meals he shares with the siblings— and his relationship with one of them starts to feel like something more.
Our Sunny Days by Jeong Seokchan
Next comes another BL story. This one began as a webcomic and is now being published in print! Our Sunny Days follows a single father named Sung Ho, who just moved to the Korean countryside looking for a fresh start for himself and his daughter. He’s barely settled in when he clashes with a local named Kwon Haebeom, who accuses Sung Ho of stealing from his store. Even worse for our protagonist, Kwon Haebeom is actually the head of the village. But despite their rocky start, it is safe to say that love is in the cards for those two.
Cheerful Amnesia by Tamamushi Oku
If you like GL stories about firsts, then Cheerful Amnesia is for you! This manga follows Arisa, who has just lost the last three years of her memories. Mari, her girlfriend, worries that this means the end of their relationship. But thankfully, when Arisa sees her, she falls in love with her all over again. So the two get to experience all their firsts for the second time—and we get to watch as they piece it back together. The amnesia might sound dramatic, but Cheerful Amnesia actually has a very funny and charming take on this trope!
She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki
Love the foodie wholesome vibe, but want a GL story? Then you should definitely read this! She Loves to Cook tells the story of Nomoto, an amateur chef who dreams of cooking big portions of food. She can’t quite do those big dreams justice, though, for she doesn’t have that big an appetite. Lucky for Nomoto, her neighbor Kasuga loves eating. A match made in heaven, right? And in more ways than one!
Love Me for Who I Am by Kata Konayama
Next, let me introduce you to a series whose protagonist is non-binary! Love Me for Who I Am follows Mogumo, a high school student who just wants to make some meaningful friendships. But finding people who truly understand Mogumo has proven a bit of a challenge. So when fellow student Iwaoka Tetsu invites Mogumo to work at a maid café in which they can present however they want, Mogumo agrees. But I won’t say anymore lest I spoil it!
I Want to be a Wall by Honami Shirono
If you want to read a manga series with asexual representation, then I Want to be a Wall is for you! It tells the story of Yuriko and Gakurouta, newlyweds with a blossoming bond. Romance is not in the cards, though, for theirs is a platonic marriage. But the relationship that blooms between them is just as sweet and wholesome— even as they navigate societal pressures, family expectations, and their personal identities
Boys Run the Riot by Keito Gaku
Last but certainly not least, let me introduce you to a great series with trans rep! Boys Run the Riot tells the story of high schooler Ryo. He’s still in the closet, even though the only time he feels free is when he wears his favorite clothes. Enter Jin, a new transfer student who seems to be another bully. Ryo soon learns that is not the truth when he encounters Jin while shopping. Finally, he has someone he can open up to—and a sweet, unputdownable adventure will ensue!
