Honestly with the legal ways to read digital manga now days, if your a mew collector going for these short and sweet mangas is the way to go, you can have a small but refined collection.

There are a lot of very good one volume series and sadly it seems most don't get an english translation. As you said english publishers go for long running series which I'm guessing are more profitable for them.

I'm responding to your comment about Pink's artwork. I know you didn't say anything bad about it, but I just want to point out that the quality of artwork is dependent on how much time the artist has to draw, the amount of people drawing the manga and the skill of these people. For a series like Naruto, which has a huge readership and therefore makes money, an artist can afford to hire more artists to help him crank out 15 pages weekly with decent art. I don't think a josei artist has the financial means to hire enough helpers to polish the drawings. Of course, some mangakas are clearly more talented at drawing than others, but time and monetary constraints does affect how the drawings are going to look. So all I'm saying is that people shouldn't ignore a manga just because of the art style.

I read most of these and they are all impressive and deep. Thank you!

I recently picked up Jiro Taniguchi's A Distant Neighborhood in a nice hardcover volume. It's pretty great, apart from being flipped. It's odd to see a flipped manga released in this day and age.

I have not read any of these manga other than Azumanga which is one of the best slice of life anime for me. I am excited to read the rest of the manga since they are short.

This is such a great video!!! Most of these type of videos recommend the same thing over and over, all of these mangas were so fresh for me, even though I've read 100+ series, I'll definitely add these to my plan to read and plan to collect list right away. Also, keep up the great work man :Dd this video deserves a sub from me!
