Anyone know any manga series with gay or lesbian characters?

Question

I'm making a booklist and I am only aware of Legal Drug, but Clamp. Anyone know any others?

Answer 1

Man, I know of one, I just can't remember the name. It's about a wild, red-headed school girl with super powers. She has a mousy blonde friend. Her rival is a wealthy dark haired heiress with great skills in making robots and weaponry. The red and dark haired girls are always fighting over the blonde to be their friends. The blonde is kinda a lump and is more of a trophy than a truly wonderful friend to fight over. Several scenes show the dark haired girl actually having lusty fantasies about the blonde. Perhaps just because the blonde is the ?possession? of the red?

Answer 2

Probably the best manga that I've read that had an actual gay character was Fumi Yoshinaga's Antique Bakery.

There is a huge demand for titles with m/m romance or sex in them called yaoi, but those are written by and for girls. So, I don't know if I could call titles like those really gay. It's would be like calling girl-on-girl action in Playboy 'lesbian'.

There are many, many titles with same-sex sexual-tension or 'really close friendships'. But in most of these there is not an actual canon relationship.

Answer 3

Yea! There's Sailor Moon for one. Also if you're interested in webcomics, I suggest FlipSide, and The Lounge. You can contact me for those links if you want. Also, dunno how much anime you can access but Kiddy Grade is one, also try Revolutionary Girl Utena. ^^ Cute stuff... hehe. Also for Anime there's Burst Angel (more hinting than anything solid, but it's good anyway...) Also, if you get bored do a web search on Doujinshi. (fan anime) some are really well drawn. I have links to those too. There are alot more that I can't think of right now, but just contact me if you get through all of those. Card Captor Sakura frequently hints to Tomoyo being in love with Sakura and then Sakura's older brother is in a relationship with his best friend... (TOTALLY cute boy...) hmmm that's enough for now I think.
