The comics and app are free, so there's nothing stopping you from sampling any of these series right now! This is a non-exhaustive list of the LGBTQ titles available on Webtoon, so be sure and explore some of the other options available for yourself!

1. Mage & Demon Queen by Color_LES

Mage & Demon Queen is a comedic romance set in a fantasy realm governed by rules and tropes that will be familiar to players of tabletop and video game RPGs. Like many other adventurers, Malori the Mage is training to defeat every adversary in the Demon Queen's Tower and reach the top, where Queen Velverosa awaits any surviving challengers… but Mal's only goal is to make Queen Vel her wife!

This series also features AU stories about the characters by Melathia the Lamia, who ships the lead characters right alongside the reader, allowing irresistible fan service as well as a fascinating perspective on the role of fan fiction.

2. Always Human by Ari (walkingnorth)

Set in the future, many of those who inhabit the science-fiction world of Always Human have access to nanotechnology "mods" that allow them to upgrade their bodies and minds at will (provided they stay within government-regulated parameters). Over the course of a few months, Sunati has dramatically altered her appearance several times, but in the meantime, a woman she sometimes sees at the train station who never takes advantage of mods catches her attention.

After Sunati introduces herself to Austin, she learns that there's a reason that Austin doesn't take advantage of mods… and as they get to know each other better, they soon enter into a relationship. This series features a musical score for most of the episodes that add a sublime atmosphere to the already evocative art.

3. Castle Swimmer by Wendy Lian Martin

Castle Swimmer takes place in a beautifully realized and rendered underwater world where nearly every kingdom has a prophecy that concerns "the Beacon," the golden-scaled Kappa, who finds himself involuntarily pulled to the site when the prophecy activates.

This fantasy features art that is by turns adorable and awe-inspiring – and often, both at the same time.
