Waalex11's Recommendations of Underrated Manga.

... My personal list of critically great underrated completed manga that are worth reading.

Waalex11's Recommendations of One-Shots & Short Stories.

... My personal list of critically great completed one-shots, anthologies, and short collections that are worth reading.

I have read a lot of short stories and one–shots manga, like really a lot. What I like about it is to see how the author achieves to deliver an impactful and memorable story despite the short amount of pages. It's a difficult exercice a lot of one–shots and short manga fail in but when it's good, it becomes very enjoyable ! So here are the best works of this kind I have read so far.

PS : Shorts stories are also good when you don't have a lot of time available or when you have a short attention span lol

PPS : There are also some manhwa and Manhua in these

pretty self-explanatory.
Manga from the alternative manga magazine Comic Beam that have been officially published in English. Since Comic Beam has a broader audience than most alternative manga magaziness, it's arguable whether it should be considered one, but I still included it. It would be updated every time a new one is announced/comes out. Hope to update it as many times as possible!!
If I forgot something, please let me know.

If there are any other magazines you would like me to do this for, please let me know. Would love to know if you make some lists like this yourselves, I would add them to the links!
