If you liked Hourou Musuko add

...then you might like Stop!! Hibari-kun! add

Both manga are cute stories about the lives of a transgender girl, and Shuuichi and Hibari both struck me as extremely relatable portrayals of transgender girls. The stories are tonally different, yes: Hibari is a light-hearted, comedic story with the protagonist being a badass daughter of a Yakuza boss, while Wandering Son is more serious and Shuuichi is more of a soft-spoken, quiet character; but both stories are very similar thematically. Both explore their lives and the difficulties they face living in a transphobic society, with both Hibari and Shuuichi having rather un-supportive families and needing to stay closeted towards much of their social circle. Both also feature a heavy focus on the cute romantic lives and love triangles of the protagonists, and both feature a diverse array of queer characters in the secondary cast.
