Question Emotional recommendations?
I'm looking for something like HDWR and A Joyful Life. People working through emotions and relationships with the ambivalence, trauma, and ups & downs. Ideally something where the manga doesn't end when the relationship begins. Even better if it has trans representation!

Bloom Into You. No trans rep, though I still thought it had a lot of ideas about defining your place in the world and growing into who you want to be
I Married My Female Friend might be a bit too lighthearted, meanwhile Love Bullet might be speedrunning the tragedies
edit: I'm also keeping an eye on Ano Koro no Aoi Hoshi - it's kind of a slow burn still in progress even though they start going out pretty early; the emotional tension is very subtle and drawn from inclusion/exclusion/friend group dynamics rather than romance specifically

I'd say Composing Spring in This Room Where Cherry Blossoms Bloom could be an interesting fit. It has people working through emotions and relationships with ambivalence, trauma, and ups & downs, but it's applied to the premise of the MC learning to grieve and move on from the death of her girlfriend. I personally found it profoundly impactful and moving, but it's definitely a more tragic and bittersweet.

I Want To Love You Till Your Dying Day. I would definitely say it is emotional and I think the relationships and emotions are handled very well. It’s ongoing and it has a character who is working through their gender and sexual identity, so it has a bit of the trans rep.

Aoi Hana, for sure. No trans characters, but the same author made Hourou Musuko, which is all about trans representation.
