There are places where you can get therapy on a sliding scale. If you're unemployed, sometimes it can come at little cost. Start out by calling the health department near you. Focus on treating your anxiety and depression first. Maybe try reading different manga that doesn't focus on sexual relationships, there are a lot of titles with strong female roles. Try figuring out what bothers you so much about your body, what about it upsets you to make you feel gender dysphoria in the first place. If it's tied directly to wanting to look like the dudes in the yaoi, well no one is going to look like figures in manga no matter the gender. Humans aren't all smooth lines and elegance. There's a little bit of forced acceptance of reality in that facet that'll need to happen.
