Re: OP

ayrt

I read a bit of Family Compo and Wandering Son, but hadn't heard of the rest. Thanks, very interesting!

Actually, one of the things Claudine! did well was have him explicitly shoot down the childhood trauma stereotype near the end, though it seemed like it was going to go there for a bit.

Other ones:

Honey & Honey, which is similar to Bride as it's an autobiographical LGBT 101 mixed with slice-of-life, with an emphasis on the author's cis lesbian relationship with a bi woman. It's also light, but I find it less cutesy than Bride. There's a chapter on two of the author's trans male friends and transitioning, though they and another are introduced and are series regulars long before then.

Level E, a sci-fi manga, has a storyline where an alien princess and a trans male character fall in love, but wherever that alien race breeds, the planet dies soon after and the main characters have to prevent it. It's really been a while since I read it, and iirc there's some unfortunate implications/wordings/explanations as well, plus... well, there's the whole "trans male character gets full-body (advanced alien) surgery, the world will die" reading. He does end up fully transitioning via alien surgery while the princess gets fooled by a clone so the world doesn't end, but... At the least, the character doesn't end up being used as sex/comedy fodder iirc.

A brief glimpse and mention in a Chi-Ran short of a trans male character, though the other characters see it as "becoming a man (for the sake of a woman)" (the POVs are, admittedly, "terrible dad" and "naive sister"). Same as above, at least the character isn't used for fodder, and the sister admires his stance.

Trans male characters apparently also appear later on in the 4-koma series Poor Poor Lips and in the US-published anthology Yuri Monogatari (vol. 4), though not sure how they're handled.

(Re: lesbian trans women: There's a couple chapters in the anthology Mermaid Line ("Ayumi & Aika") with a lesbian trans woman coming out as both to her cis girlfriend. It's fluffy, but it acknowledges a bit more than expected.

There's also a lesbian trans woman in the mess that is Kyou Kara Yonshimai, but, oh boy, that one's a big, big mess.)
