In these series, time is linear, but age is not!

It's pretty common to find series where someone turns into their child form after time traveling. In these series, at least one of the main characters finds themselves much younger for magical reasons, but they have not gone back to the past.

maximum 7 volumes

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.

A variety of manga I've enjoyed and would recommend, that are each four volumes long. Give them a try!

More manga that have frogs and/or toads in them, can be real, can be items.

Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.
