10 Great LGBTQ+ Romance Manga

There are so many amazing LGBTQ+ romance manga today, but this was sadly not always the case. The history of LGBTQ+ representation in media, as a whole, is a long, complex, and often sordid history. In the early days of manga, depictions of same-sex relationships were rare and often stereotypical or stigmatizing. However, as society has become more accepting of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, many manga creators have begun to include these subjects in their work. The explosion in popularity of LGBTQ+ stories such as Bloom Into You and Yuri on Ice! proves that not only are these subjects accepted, but they are also beloved.
