I haven't read a lot of one shots, but mine would have to be Hotel, a post global warming apocalypse story about an AI that mankind left behind to manage a giant tower known as the hotel, which stores samples of all non-human life on earth as a monument to what the planet once was, and to mans sin for having destroyed it.
Mine are Hotel and Present^^
Hmm. I've gotten it down to a couple: "Kagi" by Karin Mochizuki (title story from collection), "Lovers in the Tower that Touches Heaven" by Kayono (from the collection Shinobi no Onna), and "Instinct and a Chromosome" by Akiyama and Okai (a recent Lililicious release, one that reminds me Ebine Yamaji).
wow, neither mt nor lurk got this^^ and the scanlator has no hp^^ where do you got this from?Quote:

They Were Eleven (Moto Hagio) is an excellent retro sci-fi one-shot. The fourth story (if i remember correctly) in Eiichiro Oda's Wanted! volume is memorable as well. For shoiujo, I'd go with The Kidnapping of Minja Jo's Girlfriend. It's silly, funny, and original.Quote:
