Manga challenge featuring a manga for every letter of the alphabet. All are completed and 7 volumes max. so have fun and expand your reading list in some unexpected ways.
Disclaimer 1: We had no idea of the content of these manga before picking them, proceed with caution.
Disclaimer 2: MAL has changed several names from their alphabet original. They are in their original place on the list. Tsuki-Teki Aijin was previously Lunatic Lovers. Kanojo-tachi no X-Day was originally just X-day.

Collecting manga can be really hard on wallets and the average right-to-left reader. So whether or not you want some short reads or something for your collection that will be easy on your bank account, here is a selection of underappreciated short series to explore your horizons with!

This will contain mostly one and two volume stories, but maximum English volume length will be three to four volumes. Official and COMPLETE English physicals must be available, so this stack will not have partially translated manga like many of TokyoPop's releases, nor digital-only releases like THE COMIQ (please still read that one though!). Most of these should be standalone titles and should be readily available even on the secondhand market.


WORK IN PROGRESS: I will add descriptions later.


Disclaimer: I am a big fan of the fantasy genre and the shoujo demographic. I will try to put all series of all kinds of tags, demographics, and topics here, but it should be expected to see my bias. I apologize in advance.

This stack contains licensed titles that have been OUT OF PRINT and series that apply will be indicated as such. This means it is near impossible to find these new without destroying your wallet, but there is still a chance in the ever-growing secondhand market! To find these older, hard-to-find series, I recommend the following sites:
https://www.abebooks.com/
https://www.alibris.com/
https://www.biblio.com/

BookFinder is also a huge help with searching for listings with bargain prices! To get the best results, look up the ISBN for English prints of series and copy-paste them into the search.

I made this list because I'm tired of people generalizing shoujo and saying it's all romance, so here are some shoujo manga from varius genres (horror, psychological, action, drama, etc.) that are violent and dark! Check the trigger warnings for some of these.
