There have been countless LGBTQ and queer coded characters in anime and manga over the years. Here are the ten best according to ScreenRant!
Anime and manga have both created some of the best examples of LGBTQ+ characters in modern media. While the medium has indeed had its problems in representation, there have been many notable examples throughout the years that positively portray members of the LGBTQ+ community. There have been countless examples of these characters that have become beloved by audiences and held up by LGBTQ+ people as some of the best displays of who they are in fiction.
8 Haruhi Fujioka Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club is an interesting case here because they actually fit being an LGBTQ+ character in more ways than one. Perhaps the most notable thing fans know about them is that their gender expression is incredibly fluid. The very reason why they were even tasked with working at the host club in the first place was that the other guys mistook them for a boy as well with their short hair and gender-ambiguous demeanor.
5 Lily Hoshikawa Lily is a fascinating example of LGBTQ+ representation because the reveal of her gender identity actually made waves among members of the Trans community. Not only did she speak openly about it in the series in place of the show beating around the bush and making fans question if it was true, but she was met with such acceptance by her fellow Idol group members.
