anime4eva Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Are there any Manga One shots? Like really good, short stories? Not trying to invest in a manga with a lot of volumes to collect lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycec Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 sorry. I cannot think of too many manga like that, but Jun Mochizuki's Crimson Shell is supposedly only one volume, if I remember correctly. Most others do not seem to be released outside Japan, so you will only find scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love American One shot comics, a lot of the batman stuff in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneshots can be good, depending on how decent the writer is and such, but I rarely find too much that is enjoyable and feels complete as a some of my favorites out.

Mars Terra Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Of the ones I've read I think Bad Shield United by Tite Kubo, featured in Zombie Powder volume 4, and Romantic Egoist by Bisco Hatori, featured in Ouran Highschool Host Club volume 2 were the best. They're worth checking out if you have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniMeFReaK Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Um...what are one shots? I just finished watching Ouran Highschool Host Club a month ago. And I didn't read the manga (cause I'm too lazy...). So...yeah. Please explain one shots to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-shot manga are often written for contests, and sometimes later developed into a full-length manga series. Many manga series began as one-shot stories, including Dragon Ball, Fist of the North Star, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Berserk, Rurouni Kenshin and Death Note.

I just finished the anime last year. So...there's a manga series of Diabolik Lovers (don't check it out unless you're 17) and its prequels are just a chapter long. So...does it mean it's a one shot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but I think that would just make it a prequel, could you provide the name for the series you're referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but I think that would just make it a prequel, could you provide the name for the series you're referring to? I'm talking about a different manga called Diabolik Lovers. The series's name is Diabolik Lovers: Prequel (I'm not so sure about series and stuff...I get confused...so...maybe you can understand by how I wrote it? I tried my best to make sure it makes sense...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I failed to make myself clear though, I was talking about Death Note in that first paragraph and about Diabolik Lovers in the second paragraph. In any case according to both MyAnimeList and Anime Planet it has 7 chapters, and it's tied into other media, right? If so then it's just a prequel manga.
