So, as the title says I'm looking for a short shojou manga, it would be perfect if it was 1 or 2 volumes. If it's really good maybe 3...

Beast Master
Eensy-Weensy Monster
Kimi wa Girlfriend
Provence
The Kidnapping of Minja Jo's Boyfriend--highly recommended. The female lead is pretty awesome.
The Prince's Cactus
Ipaasha--its a oneshot but its pretty good so thought you might want a read.
Kimi no Sei--ongoing, according to info its complete at three volumes. I have read the first two chapters and its really really good.

Hanatsukihime - 2 volumes, extremely recommended
Imadoki! - but it's 4 volumes
Mugen Spiral - 2 volumes but horrible ending
Tonari no Shugoshin - 2 volumes
Bloody Kiss - 2 volumes
Canon - but it's 4 volumes
Datte Suki Nandamon - 2 volumes
Ai Hime - Ai to Himegoto - 3 volumes
Kieli - 2 volumes, extremely recommended
Adarushan no Hanayome - 2 volumes
Appare Jipangu! - 3 volumes, extremely recommended. In fact, everything by Watase-sensei is recommended.
Home - 2 volumes
Himegimi no Tsukurikata - 2 volumes
Romeo x Juliet - 2 volumes
Wanted - 1 volume
I would suggest starting with Camelot Garden, as the previous person has recommended, Appare Jipangu, and Kieli, then work your way through the various degrees of romance. Check on the info pages for most of them and decide which you want. Hope this helps.
