queercoding & queer undertones (and/or lgbt side characters)
series that are open to queer readings through queercoding/subtext/undertones, or feature lgbt side characters with not enough presence or relevance to be put into my mlm/wlw lists. personal list so its only stuff i've seen.

![Estranhos do Inferno]()
2. Estranhos do Inferno
