The discussion in this thread will decide what it will be changed to. There are three Admins and I expect to have some officers here soon(particularly users who know a thing or two about one-shots). Between us we will decide what will be featured and in what order.

I'll stat: I think that Island should be featured in the future, what do you guys think?

(Note: The "Future One-Shots of the Week" isn't permanent. The order and what's on it can change at anytime depending on what we decide.)

Officers can only delete comments and add/remove pics. Admins can do everything.
Usually, officers are just considers "VIP Users". Their judgment is respected more then a regular members, and participate in important or staff only discussions/polls.

1/3 no kareshi by shiimaki ako. it's a really funny shoujo oneshot. Actually, that whole volume of oneshots by shiimaki ako are fun to read. She's one of my favorite mangakas for oneshots.

actually 1/3 no kareshi used to have it's own entry on mal... and it was pretty high on the oneshot list (like number 3 or 4) but they combined it recently with the compilation manga.

I can only reccomend shoujo oneshots, considering thats 90% of what i read xD;;

for oneshots of the week we should probably write a small review about it and provide a link or two where people can download/read it. (just not direct links)

as for ZinnKid's idea for next week to be a shoujo one-shot i think Kon no Ki Konoha is a good one, it's number 2 on MAL's one-shots (after Hotel).
it's somewhat a deep story, it doesn't involve the usual shoujo romance

well, like you said before we should do one week shonen the other shoujo, so that makes this week shoujo.

i think we should agree on these then: Suki ni Naru Made Matte (1/3 no kareshi),Kon no Ki Konoha, Half & Half, and i'm not sure about White Clouds

i like the 3 of them, i recommended Kon no Ki Konoha just because it's really popular, but i would recommend it to everybody, even those who don't like shoujo

it's up to you two now

Hello baby i didn't really like... at all. But I guess people who are a huge fan of Obata Takeshi would like it? haha.

I added Natsu e no Tobira. It's a shoujo oneshot from the 80s, and its sooo intense. It also got a movie adaptation! lol It'd be a good break from the typical cliche romance shoujo stuff.

Also added Hanshin Because its another 80's shoujo manga, and it's on the " Top Oneshots" page :)

Kon no ki konoha is a good one shot and deserves time up on shot of the week.

One shots of the week are heavy on the shoujo/josei. Interesting how things turn out.

I am also gonna toss in "Pushu~ke~!! Psyche!", which is different than most of the oneshots up already. Mix it up a little bit with some comedy and stuff. I would consider it more shonen although it has references to yaoi.

Ye be warned, long post ahead.

I know I came late to the "shoujo bash" party, but I think I have a few things worth sharing in order to increase the variety of shoujo and josei one-shots so that things don't have to start and end in the "high school setting with clumsy average heroine and her bishounen object of affections" kind of one-shots.

1) Gothic/Horror shoujo one-shots: mangakas like Kaori Yuki , Mitsukazu Mihara, Kaoru Fujiwara and Asumiko Nakamura among others are very well known for their style and stories, however they are still shoujo and pretty much all of their works are more than worth a read. Not to mention that plenty of their one-shots (Asumiko Nakamura not so much unfortunately) have been scanlated and are widely available.

2) Reiko Shimizu one-shots: Her A Million Pound Love collection of one-shots is beautiful, elegant, profound, and still very much shoujo. I noticed that you have shared a Moto Hagio one-shot and are planning to spot-light one of Keiko Takemiya's sometime in the future, so it would be redundant (for now) to request more of them.

3)CLAMP one-shots: Before the Clamp haters start complaining, I'm not saying that their works are flawless or anything of the sort, but they do tend to make shoujo one-shots that don't fit the high school setting stories and for that I felt like mentioning them. Examples: Okimono Kimono, Murikuri and Hidari Te.

5) Shoujo-ai and yuri one-shots: I've read that you are not interested in adding nor spot-lighting these kind of one-shots and I might not entirely agree, but it is your club and your rules, so I won't complain about it, but I still think it's worth mentioning that mangakas such as Kiriko Nananan, Q-ta Minami, Takako Shimura and Kita Konno have written/drawn some very interesting one-shots, some might be more explicit than others and therefore less likely to be added to the club, but I thought I should mention it anyways. Also, Lililicious and other yuri-focused scanlation groups have translated possibly well over a hundred shoujo-ai/yuri one-shots at this point, and sure some of them might not be worth reading at all, but still, you can be sure that there are plenty of gems or rough diamonds or whatever other piece of jewelry related metaphor among them.


Now, somewhat related to the lack-of-variety issue, further things worth recommending:

Kei Toume and Yoshitoshi Abe one-shots: For shame that none of their one-shots have been considered for future spot-lights. For shame! (And yes, I realize that the club has not been around for that long nor are there enough weeks to share everything, but still, I need to bring this issue up).

And last but not least, I have one sort-of-yaoi-ish one-shot that is worth recommending because it doesn't have anything explicit at all that would make manly men crawl in their seats, and also happens to be a very informative read about the beginnings of famous rich-men Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Paul Allen and Larry Elisson. It's by Takada Yuuki and it's called Billionaries. Like I said, informative and ridiculous all in one package.

If I'm not wrong, 'Stray Dog' got quite good critiques for being this good while being the first manga Arakawa has done.

And yet another one by Komi Naoshi:
http://myanimelist.net/manga/12121/Williams
It's shounen as well, but it's clearly recognizable as a work by Komi Naoshi (who's art and ideas are always great, imo)
