One-shots that I have enjoyed reading
Manga
Self-explanatory. Generally, this includes any one-shot I have scored 7 or above. This list also could be titled something like "One-shots worth reading", but that sounds kind of "self-centred", for lack of a better word.
As you would expect, I have entirely excluded sequel or side-story one-shots and also avoided hentai one-shots. I have also excluded pilot one-shots.
(The list is very short now as I haven't read that many one-shots, but hopefully it will get much bigger in the near future.)

Kinda cliched, but still poignant and meaningful. Found myself invested in the characters within the first few pages. Short but definitely a worthwhile read.

Despite its shortcomings in the sci-fi elements, the pivotal themes of the one-shot are genuinely deep and intriguing. Soichi and Io's relationship, in particular, is beautifully depicted.

Say what you want, but this one-shot is genuinely hilarious! And somehow, the ending is very, very sweet.

Short and compelling. I especially like the bittersweet tone.

Simple and predictable, but still beautiful and uplifting. Hanamori and Mushizima's interactions are particularly delightful. Albeit appearing a little strange at times, the art is also pretty.

Stories like this tend to be sappy and entirely predictable, and while the latter is also true here, this manga is still a pretty good read. Shun is very relatable, and her romance with Yousuke is heartwarming.

Somewhat of a run-of-the-mill shounen story, but still quite well-written. Probably would have been better if it had been longer.

A pretty well-written and entertaining shoujo one-shot, which, to be honest, is very rare to find
