Been thinking of binging some short manga under 20 chapters today, so here’s a thread of every one I’ve read today and my thoughts on them.
Play It Cool, Guys - 12 Chapters

I don& #39;t really read stuff like this but I surprisingly really enjoyed it. Definitely lightened up my day, and made me more aware of the subtleties of life that are overlooked.
Kami no Kodomo - 11 Chapters

A super short series that definitely nailed the horror aspect, both through its eerie artstyle and narration, which gave me a lot of chills. It& #39;s not anything beyond that, though.
The Gods Lie - 5 Chapters

Surprisingly for a short series like this I was really immersed into the story. The art is really fucking nice and adds to the whole tone of the story - melancholic? Wholesome? I don& #39;t even know. Just read this.
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan - 8 Chapters

This one is just so fucking good man. The amount of things you can get out of these mere 8 chapters is crazy. I don& #39;t think I& #39;ve ever cried to a series this short, but it was such a good read, makes you think a lot.
I Sold My Lifespan for 10,000 Yen A Year - 18 Chapters

This is a popular one but yeah it& #39;s really good. I think everyone should read it.
Kimi Ga Futte Kita Hi - 3 Chapters

This one is literally 15 pages in total. As such it doesn& #39;t have much substance, but it is a pretty nice wholesome experience.
Magus of the Library - 14 Chapters

Added this here for agenda pushing purposes. Everything about this series is just so fucking good man. Excellent cast, worldbuilding (especially), art and story.
My Capricorn Friend - 7 Chapters

Another great short story with really nice art. The plot "twist& #39; at the end was somewhat predictable, but that didn& #39;t take away from the story in any way.
My Broken Mariko - 5 Chapters

Stylistically stunning, with an extremely tragic story, speckled with some wholesome and lighthearted moments. Enjoyed the melancholic atmosphere a lot.
Memories of Emanon - 7 Chapters

One of the best atmospheric experiences I’ve ever had. For a short read like this, I was able to immerse myself into the story’s ideas about existence. It contrasts perfectly with the playful and innocent notions of curiosity.
Hisakata no Oto - 11 Chapters

Might be my favorite one so far. Definitely read this if you like Barakamon; it has a similar premise but with a bit of fantasy and lore that makes it all the more interesting. Tons of heartwarming and memorable moments.
Boys Run The Riot - 2 Chapters

A super promising start for a unique and fun series. Haven’t seen much from the story so far but the main 2 are really fucking cool. Though I can’t comment on how relatable it is, the mangaka’s message on LGBTQ+ is really dope.
Go With The Clouds, North By Northwest - 11 Chapters

Though the plot hasn& #39;t really developed yet, the atmosphere in this manga are absolutely incredible. In these 11 short chapters I was able to completely immerse myself into Kei& #39;s odd jobs. I mean, it& #39;s by Aki Irie.
