List of East Asian rep in queer fiction

[rainwaterspark]

A work in progress. Indie pub only (not traditionally-published books).

(Mostly MM, unless otherwise noted.)

*Note: This is a neutral list, NOT a recommendations list.

Taking into account that I am, by necessity, unable to keep track of EVERY single book in MM romance alone, here are the ones I know of with East Asian rep. East Asian rep by East Asian authors is indicated using green.
