GNC Media

What is this site about?

This is a work in progress site that I am making to eventually archive media that's Gender-noncomforming in one place so they're easy to discover, since they can be kinda hard to find, also so I can easily share content I like with my friends lol. I started working on the website on 16/8/2025 so if you see this close to the date and it sucks, I am working on it.

Gender nonconformity: Buff gal and delicate guy

Review:

Ok THIS is definitely the first manga I saw revovling around a gender-noncomforming couple, It has been a while since I read it, but I remember it being pretty good. Cute guy who is pretty fragile has a crush on his neighbor who works in Wood-working. He's also very domestic so that's nice. You should check out this one.

Gender nonconformity: Mild(Girl goes after cute and shy guy)

Review:

Ok so, I put it here cause it subverts the for some reason widespread attractive guy chases over cute girl. It isn't as prelevant as in the other stuff or does the story revovle around it but I would say it does break away from the traditional gender roles in Romance manga a bit. Takamara is the one actively going after Nemuro, While Nemuro himself is pretty cute and shy, he has trouble socializing and Takamara helps him get out of his shell a bit. I haven't finished it yet (at chaoter 6), will update review when I finish it.

This is one of the eariliest GNC media I have seen, and I will be honest, I got really emotional when I realized that I just read the final chapter. Another Highly recommend, I really like this one.

Oh my god this is so good why is it only 6 chapters, a very wholesome story about a boy learning that it's okay for him to like the stuff that he does, even if not everyone accepts him at first.

Gender nonconformity: Main characters are genderqueer.

Review:

I will be honest, I am a massive deltarune fan so this review might be a little biased but I really like the way it handles it handles its characters, their personality really isn't affected by their gender at all, they're just good characters that happen to be [GENDER], speaking of that the main party literally consists of all gender non-comforming characters lol. The DPS(Susie) is a masc girl that dresses the least feminine of like the entire party and is basically "the cool one", the leader is non-binary(Kris) and the healer is like a cute little guy and is the most femme by far, none of these people follow any gender sterotypes.
I guess if you want a story that DOES discuss the themes of not conforming to societal gender roles then you're probably not gonna find it here. Again, them being GNC is not acknowledged in the story at all they just ARE, and while I really like stories that talk about the experience, sometimes it's nice to see a story with characters I can relate to just doing cool stuff.
