Kareshi ni Donbiki saretai Minamoto-san (or as it should be called: How to Utterly Defeat a Yandere With Love) may only be a twenty-two page one-shot but it's a fantastic twenty two pages. Riri is an absolute treasure and I want to find a woman like her in my age demographic...she's sweet, funny, unstable, and honestly, packs a ton of personality (more than some characters in long manga). As you can imagine you don't get a whole lot of back story or character development in this story, but honestly, it's not really missed as this is written as a "day in the life" quick shot.
...
I will warn folks sensitive to self harm there are two jokes that involve these topics but it's NOT portrayed in an overly dark way...just like the rest of the manga, it's actually very lighthearted and fluffy. I can't think of a better way to pass twenty minutes reading. The only fault I can find with this is I wish we'd have gotten eight to twelve chapters of this (any less would be too short but any more and it may get stale). Totally recommend passing a short wait on a bus, train, waiting room reading this!
