There are sadly very few. I think we are getting closer, and the genre has seen a lot of growth, but we still do not have many titles that openly discuss LGBT issues.One that I have found surprisingly insightful, queer, and detailed is I’m in Love with the Villainess. As I said in my review of the first volume, “[it contained] one of the most thoughtful, condensed, informative, and nuanced discussions of gay and queer identity (both terms used in this scene) I have ever seen in Yuri.”If you are willing to step a bit outside of Yuri and into LGBTQ manga, I would absolutely check out Our Dreams at Dusk, which I called “the greatest manga I have ever read,” and Love me for Who I am; as long as you do not mind moe imagery in the latter case.
