ショート・プログラム [Shōto Puroguramu / Short Program]

A charmingly compact manga series from Shogakukan, Short Program collects a trio of standalone, bittersweet short stories by acclaimed creator Mitsuru Adachi. Published from 2005 to 2007, this anthology showcases Adachi's signature blend of gentle romance, slice-of-life drama, and understated humor, all delivered with his clean, expressive art. Though brief, the series offers a perfect, self-contained introduction to the master storyteller's quieter, more intimate work.
