    A manga called Love me for who I am.

    The main character is non-binary but presents in a feminine way, and they’re recruited by a classmate to work on a maid cafe. The story is very sincere, and shows many of the struggles we face. I’ve read it pretty early on my transition and related hard to many of the characters. On that note, there’s so many colors of the rainbow in there – trans women, cross-dressing cis guys, gay guys, a lesbian woman, and of course the non-binary protagonist. It’s a great story.

      I liked it in general but IMO the chapter near the end at the school festival left me feeling kinda bad about the whole thing because it felt like the author pulled a hard 180.

        It’s been a while since I’ve read it so I don’t remember that school festival thing. I do remember the story becomes a lot more serious towards the end, with Mogumo’s family and all, but I like it that way. There were problems Mogumo was running from that had to be solved before one could say the story was finished.

      Somebody around here linked this on mangadex a few months ago, and I haven’t been able to stop binge-reading yuri manga since. True story.
