honestly probably my favorite manga! it's about a closeted gay boy named tasuku who almost commits suicide because of rumors about him at school. he happens to meet "anonymous," who shows him a lounge full of other lgbt+ folks! it gets into some pretty heavy stuff, especially as tasuku struggles to accept himself, but there are a lot of sweet, positive, uplifting moments, too!!
warnings: homophobia, transphobia, suicidal thoughts, a groping scene
suuuper sweet and really funny! this is a full-color manga in the style of 4-panel comics! haruno sees a boy standing under the sakura in front of the school and crying, and when he gets to class, the new boy announces the four seasons club! the boy, hitose, asks haruno to join, and after a while, haruno accepts. but the way he phrases it sounds like a confession!
warnings: none (this manga is so delightful and lighthearted aaah)
super sweet!! yamada is her school's plant appointee, and kase is a member of the field-and-track club. after some mutual pining, the two start dating, and the manga follows their relationship as it progresses.
warnings: there are a couple scenes where some creeps approach yamada, but thankfully they're quickly shut down. other than that, there's some brief nudity and an implied sex scene, but nothing explicit.
sweet and funny! it's about wataru and chiharu - two friends who like movies. chiharu confesses to wataru, and their relationship shifts. chiharu doesn't ask wataru out, but he requests that wataru accompany him on a tour of locations in his favorite movie.
warnings: there's a small bit at the end about how chiharu's mom made him crossdress when he was little, but it doesn't drag on and there's nothing like "his mom made him gay!"
eito and hachi are schoolmates who meet by chance and discover that they both have names that mean "eight." they start bonding, and then eito realizes that he likes hachi. a super sweet and laidback story!
warnings: none
an autobiographical manga about a trans woman named chii and her husband. it focuses on her transition and her relationship with her husband. really cute and lighthearted, but also super informative!
warnings: none

warnings: none (it's been a while since i've read it, tho!)
another good one by furuya nagisa! this one's about a college student named sora, who finds himself out of a job and dumped. while wandering, he stumbles upon a stranger's star-gazing spot.
warnings: non-consensual kissing, a relatively brief drama when one of the characters says they're dating someone else (turns out ok tho!)
sasano is a high school boy who adores cute and beautiful things. when he spots the beautiful koga at the entrance ceremony, he falls in love! after an encounter at sasano's work, koga wants to become friends! a super cute story, and all of their friends are very supportive!
warnings: none
the sequel/spin-off to yamete kudasai, mabushii desu! this one focuses on sugiyama and hibiya! a year after the first story, a transfer student arrives at school, and there seems to be something wrong with sugiyama!
warnings: none (other than some drama)
