Manga I know someone MUST have asked this before

Can you guys recommend any good, but short, mangas? I want to collect something, but I need to choose WHAT! Ranma is too many...and some of the other mangas I already read, so I don't want those...so you guys have anything to recommend?? Or maybe a site with some summaries or something?

 

I'd recommend Deedlit's Tale.

6 comic sized issues. A self-contained story about Deedlit and Parn. Concerning their romance and whatnot.

I actually really enjoyed this. And it looked funny, me, this big guy who loves mechs and undead armies, reading a romance comic.

:shy3:

 

Clover only has 4 mangas, Utean has 5 and I just found out that chobbits stops at 7. There's also one called juline it's only 5 manga long. That's all I can think right now.

 

There are a few things needing consideration to accurately answer this question. First, are you looking for domestic releases (translated graphic novels, for the most part) or are Japanese imports an option? Second, what have you read?

Some of my personal favorites are:

- Wish - CLAMP - 4 volumes - Asuka Comics DX/TokyoPop
- Nurse Angel Ririka SOS - Ikeno Koi - 4 volumes - Ribon Mascot Comics
- Imadoki! - Watase Yuu - 5 volumes - Flower Comics

The only one that I know that is (or will be) released in the US is Wish. The other two, to my knowledge, have not been translated into English and aren't slated for translation any time soon.

I know that there are plenty of series that only have a few volumes, but I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Yeah!!! Imadoki rocks!!! One of the best manga of Yuu Watase-sensei!

 

Thanks for all the suggestions!

T answer your question, Shadowboard, I would, IF I COULD, read the Japanese ones, but as I can't, I'd be looking into the English-translated ones.

Um...I've read some of CLover (wait, didn't they stop producing this series graphic novels??),
Saint Tail (this one is SO cute!)
Juline...,
Fushigi Yugi,
Rayearth,
some from Kodacha (have you guys heard of this?)
and others...

Well, anyways, thanks again! And if anything else comes to mind or you find out about, please let me know! Thanks!!

 

Hikaru, you're collecting Saint Tail right now ^^; You're gonna collect another series? Oh well, I guess there's nothing wrong with that

 

Is Juline good I've been eyeing that manga as the next in my collection.

 

Uh huh...Juline is very interesting! I read msot of it already, so I'm not collecting it. But you should give it a try, Chi!

You're right, Sachi! I am collecting Saint Tail, but... I'm getting restless again!!

 

Thanks I'll give it a try.

 

I used to read Ribon Mascot Comics, they are very short the longest one I ever read was about eight mangas.

 

DNA^2 is only 5 volumes, and it's sure is fly, and/or dope.
Akira is only 5 or 6 volumes, ableit each one is the size of a phone book.
Ghost in the Shell is only one volume. 3 x 3 eyes is only a few volumes long aswell, as far as I know.
That's all from me.

 

Is that DN Angel, you mean, that has 5 volumes? (ehe...just not sure about that...)

 

No, I mean DNA^2, as in DNA squared. Starring Megaplayboy Junta and future bishoujo Karyn. And also Ami the tomboy. It's n33t, ye dig?

 

you want a cool, shortanime, then i would recoment "Yu Yu Hakushu, and it hAs an awesome movie "Poltergiest Repot"

 

Gah! That's alot of titles there :dizzy2:

But thanks you guys! Of course, if you come up with anything new, post it hyar (here)!

 

Akira is really good.Its only 6 volumes.(But like DrunkLeprachaun said they are the size of a phone book)

There is also the Seraphic Feather series.They are at volume 2 now...they publish them every 5 months.(seems like it)Thats a pretty interesting manga.
