I see a lot of daily storytimes in the catalog for series that are hundreds of chapters long.Which is nice, but also quite a commitment. Maybe sometimes you want to read along with /a/ for just a short while.In this thread I'll be posting a few short stories and one-shots with breaks inbetween, for as long as the thread stays alive. Feel free to discuss anything manga-related, or maybe even to dump a story yourself if you want to share something you enjoyed.
We begin with Goodbye-Cigarette, by Natsume Ono.This was originally published in 2014 in Cigarette Anthology Volume 2: Menthol.
>>282575800I love it when these pop up.I remember a guy doing gekiga oneshots, and another doing shoujo oneshots.If you do one each day I'll love you, OP.
>>282576092I was planning to dump about 5 stories or so per thread, with breaks between each. If there's interest I can keep going for a few days, but I can't commit to make long-term dailies, sorry.
The End ~Anyone reading along?I'll be back shortly with the next story.
>>282576888Yes. Also I can't believe there's cigarette themed anthology collection that has multiple volumes.
Next, we have Zansatsu! Ponytail, by Abe Youichi.First published in Ultra Jump 2016-10.>>282577037>I can't believe there's manga about [literally anything] A common experience.
The End~Do you have long hair?
>>282578116Feels like the ending didn't live up to the rest of the story. I dunno what I expected after all that.
>>282575800That's Host Samurai. Oku didn't even try
I'll be back in about an hour with the next story.
>>282579051I gotta bail out before then but thanks for the ones you posted so far. It's always fun to see what authors do with such a short format.
In the meantime, here's a short intermission.
I'll continue with some more Dowman Sayman. Everybody loves Dowman Sayman.
The End~Would you make a deal with the devil? What would you wish for?
No one on /a/ wants to read manga on a friday night? You make me sad.Maybe it's time to bring out my secret weapon : christmas cake office ladies.
Young boy and Diamond, by Mizumori Takashi.First published in Harta magazine, December 2019.
The End ~I'll do one last story for today a little later, even if nobody shows up.
Next:A dog's life, by Matsumoto Jiro.This is the oneshot which led to Jiro drawing Ichigeki.
Hopefully I can atleast finish this one before getting autosaged
End~Do you study the way of the blade?That's it for now.If by some miracle the thread survives, I'll post more.
>>282586042Thank you for posting, OP!
Bump for reading
>>282575922Ah I recognize this style nowRistorante paradiso artist
>>282576084He must have a lot of willpower. Anyone would get curious. Plus you can't say they taste bad if you e never tasted them.
>>282576420Wooow what a slut
>>282576888Interesting twist . I thought he'd last the ability to make them after smoking or something
>>282577751lol>>282577806One could imagine you could just... Not wear a ponytail anymore? Worth a try I'd say
>>282587458>you could just... Not wear a ponytail anymoreYou simply don't understand the female mind.
>>282578116The ponytail is a metaphor for SEX
>>282581579That was coolI wonder what everyone else's wishes wereAnd the radio host never got to do itI would wish for money. And I don't have long hair
>>282583545Damn she was hot. Also she didn't age. I guess maybe the kid was only like 12 so it should have only been about 5 or 6 years
>>282585511Relatable...
>>282585649Brutal>>282586042That was cool. He also gets to avoid the boshin war. Hopefully. >Do you study the way of the blade?I learned from watching the masterWell anyway that was fun. Thanks for postingDon't be discouraged op. Back when I did the shoujo oneshots the first day was dead, but things really picked up from the second day.Wish I had been able to keep at it, it was fun. It's all fairly random what picks up and what doesn't, unless it's a popular manga.

>>282589891
>>282575800There was an anon who did a shoujo oneshot daily but he got banned
>>282591490Damn, so that's what happened to him. I assume the ban was unrelated.
Where's my SMOKE?!
