Japanese LGBT+ Main & Side Characters/Romances
You have @River Cloud to thank for this existing.
LGBT+ representation in J-Dramas (and also Japanese movies but mainly J-Dramas) is few and far between. That's why I decided to make this list. There is progression, and I want to highlight Japan specifically for taking steps in the right direction.
I'll put a few movies on here. But mostly just dramas.
In an order.

Note: Normally on my lists I will put links/directions to where you can find a title. However, this being Japan, finding legal sites or even fansubbers can be next to impossible. So, sorry if I sometimes just have to leave you with the ambiguous "can be found on free websites" as I don't want these options to no longer be available. Japan just has to make things difficult!
Subs PSA: DO NOT RUIN A GOOD THING FOR EVERYONE AND REPOST SOMEONE ELSE'S SUBS! YOU CAN DIRECT PEOPLE TO THESE RESOURCES BUT DO NOT REUPLOAD SHIT!
Disclosure: I, myself, am BiAce (Biromantic Asexual)
This list is not just for me by the way. It's for all of you guys! And you're more than welcome to leave suggestions in the form of a comment or even send me a message, regardless if we are friends or not.
Will contain spoilers at least regarding a character's sexuality/gender. May or may not contain other spoilers. I will attempt to keep it just to what is related to the rep. You have been warned!
