ShortStories [Short Stories]

A brief, three-issue series from Hakusensha published in 1987–1988, Short Stories is exactly what its name suggests—a collection of standalone tales. While no single creator or overarching narrative dominates, the anthology format allows for a variety of artistic voices to shine in concise, self-contained vignettes. Its significance lies in being a snapshot of late-80s Japanese comics, offering readers a quick, diverse taste of the era's storytelling without committing to a longer arc.
