There are a lot of one-shots. There are also a lot of one-shots I haven't read. Out of the few I have; these are the ones that are worth your time so you don't have to sift most of the average junk to find the gold. It's a small list but I don't find there's many oneshots out there that really stuck with me like these have.

One-shot from all types of genre. Mostly with no cliffhangers.
I've only added the ones that I have read and found to be good enough. I'll update the list as I read more of these short stories.

P.S. this stack also includes one-shots collection.

some one-shots i think are worth reading.
the list is updated regularly.

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

Manga that involve the use of magic excluding isekai.
Only includes one title from each series as some have a ridiculous amount of titles.

-Manga that breaks people.
-Manga that will make you feel empty rather than making you cry.

Good luck reading them.

To have an easier view on the manga relations of the club, here's the fifth stack of manga, from T to Z.

This is a complied list of one-shots that were published in JUMP plus and have an English Translations.


[Note: all of these are fan translations, not official ones]

These are just a few examples, but there are many other mangas that offer profound reflections on life. Each of these titles has a unique approach and can provide readers with different perspectives and insights.

"The world is a stage, and we’re all just players. But we don’t get to choose our roles."

Semi-Noir is characterized by some elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy, albeit not necessarily followed by bleak, eventual prognosis of events to come.

The isolation from society of the typical semi-noir hero was underscored by the use of stark high-contrast lighting. Classic images of semi-noir included rain-soaked streets in the early morning hours; street lamps with shimmering halos; flashing neon signs on seedy taverns, diners, and apartment buildings; and endless streams of cigarette smoke wafting in and out of shadows.

The inherent subjectivity of Expressionism is also evident in semi-noir’s use of narration and flashback. An omniscient, metaphor-spouting narrator frequently clarifies a characteristically hemi-labyrinthine semi-noir plot or offers a subjective, jaded point of view. Tension and suspense are increased by the use of all-knowing narrators and flashbacks, in that the audience is always cognizant of impending bleak turn of events, even with presence of plot armor to save the day at the eleventh hour.

The heroes of semi-noir generally share certain qualities, such as moral ambiguity, a fatalistic outlook, and alienation from society. They also exhibit an existential acceptance of random, arbitrary occurrences as being the determining factors in life. Such compassionless pragmatism is found in the most noble, as well as the most tarnished, of semi-noir heroes. The weakest of such characters exhibit an abundance of tragic flaws.

Semi-Noir villains are often characterized as homme fatales or “spiders”; in the words of one critic, they are “comfortable in the world of cheap dives, shadowy doorways, and mysterious settings.” They cunningly and ruthlessly manipulate their counterparts to gain power or wealth.

Nevertheless, the semi-noir villains often evoke sympathy, as they are frequently victims of emotional or physical abuse, with such victimization providing impetus for their vengeance. They are trapped in passionless or violent bonds of contract/servitude and resort to murder as a means of escape, usually destroying their conspirators in the process.

(list will be kept updated)

I have read a lot of short stories and one–shots manga, like really a lot. What I like about it is to see how the author achieves to deliver an impactful and memorable story despite the short amount of pages. It's a difficult exercice a lot of one–shots and short manga fail in but when it's good, it becomes very enjoyable ! So here are the best works of this kind I have read so far.

Ps : Shorts stories are also good when you don't have a lot of time available or when you have a short attention span lol
