You know when you go to recommend a manga to a friend, but hesitate because you don't know how to explain it without sounding crazy? Or when you read a summary and can't help but ask, "Why would you write something like that?!" Yeah, this is about those manga.

Manga that are not very long that you can read in one sitting.
Lots of short story collections, 1-8 Volume series, and oneshots. One sitting does not mean a short time mind you.

I binge read most of these in one sitting. But not all of them. However i will include ones that i think could probably be read in one sitting.

Do you want to read as many manga as possible?
Do you want to read manga of different genres?
I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

- Note: I haven't read every single one of them. It's also a personal reading list
Have you finished the first part? Here is the second part:
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31188

This stack is for any manga, manwha or manhua that primarily revolves around the sport of swimming, surfing, diving, other water sports, or scuba diving.

Note: I did not add any overly explicit titles, or titles I could not find much information on.

Here are some titles that I would have liked to add, but are not on the MAL database:
- Huo Hai by Djade & KRE
- Flying Fish by moyifei
- Neap Tide by Jeong Gi rim & Oh Eun ji
- Salieri & Mozart by Kim Soo Oh & Kibap
- Azure 50 Meters by FanFan Comic & Neo Cat & Vanilla Hide Rain
- Latent Blue by ceci

These are series you can read all within a single volume! All genres/demographics!
None of these series are OOP (out of print) and can be easily purchased at a local bookstore.

• Omnibus releases are not considered one volume and are instead counted by tankoubon release.
(VIZ MEDIA released Tomie in a single hardcover book; Japanese release has 3 volumes).
• Sequels or spinoff series are not included.

always open to more suggestions to fill this stack up!

not that it's a bad thing per say, but it's hard to dismiss said aspect about the series.

Horror is the most consistent genre for social commentary. This Manga Stack aims to highlight series that focus on the darker side of womanhood, either angled from that of power and gendered dynamics, and mutual abuse of them; eventual self destruction surrounding relationships, lust or sexuality; or the aestheticism of beauty and the pursuit of the freedom it gives. This one is quite similar to my "Psychosexual Girl's of Manga" stack however do note there are some distinctions to be made, especially regarding introspection of the female mind here.

"I think that writing about women goes hand in hand with horror writing. The female body is a nexus of pain almost by design, but it is also potentially monstrous—an object traditionally subjugated, both for its presumed weakness and its perceived threat."

A list primarily inspired by Angelica Jade Bastién on Letterboxd.

**some of these are rough placements and I will need to reread.
