If you like memorable one shots and don't mind reading something that might make you cry, I suggest Itoshi Kingyo. I thought they would be lighter more romantic one shots and I figured the stories would be good when I saw it was by the mangaka of orange, but reading them I found them even better although harder hitting than I thought they would be. The stories contain some sadness and hints of tragedy that makes them memorable while not being over the top sad, more bittersweet and really quite good. They fall more into the slice of life type.
The title story which is the first one is really quite good, but each story was quite enjoyable in its own way and not predictable.
The art was decent and conveyed the emotions of the characters really well although it's not spectacular, but the plots of the stories were good and the characterizations are really excellent. Each story has something somehow poignant about it that makes it rise well above average. If you enjoy mature shoujos or josei slice of life you will not be disappointed with these.
