Ordered by prominence of trans male character: protagonist —> main character —> major character —> side character —> minor character —> cameo —> trans men only referenced
Ordered alphabetically within each category, ranking has nothing to do with personal preference
Includes genderbender manga on a pretty subjective basis—both (for lack of a better way to describe it) cis boy-to-trans boy and cis girl-to-cis boy
If you know of any manga I’ve missed let me know!
Trans boy protagonist (have not read)

for the pokémon one, yukari is just a gnc girl who feels limited by societal norms for japanese women, imo.
she doesn’t outwardly express the desire to be male; as much as, she does feels distress at being forced into revealing clothes or expected to perform femininity. she starts out seeing being female as a hindrance to her dream, which is why she adopts this boy persona. it’s genuine escapism
FYI that the trans man in Yuukoku no Moriarty is a prominent suoport character, but he's not the protagonist
oh good to know thank you!!
