Hi guys!

Can any of you recommend me a short, but thoughtful manga? I'd call anything 20 chapters and below short. I'm kind of looking more towards slice of life, maybe something like Solanin or Mushishi (which is long but has really short arcs). However, any other genre is also fine. No hentai or ecchi please (these usually aren't particularly thoughtful anyways...)

All my lists are public, so please take a look when you recommend. Thanks a lot!

You have huge lists, you've read everything. xD
Well, let's see if I can recommend something you haven't read yet... I think Dokuhime was on your reading list? It was recently completed, so you should finish it if you haven't already, it's one of my favorites. ^^ if any of my suggestions are on your lists and I missed it, just ignore. some of them are one shots that I wholeheartedly recommend rather than series, hope that's all right. ^^ most are tragedies, I thought they were the best for thought provoking thoughts...

Chronos - Deep -has 25 chapters and is not slice of life, but its still a pretty good read

Houou Gakuen Misoragumi -this one is slice of life and a really cute romance, and has some thought provoking parts

One Winter -definitely thought provoking, however this one is a prequel to Pinocchio, but it still does well as a stand alone webtoon too.
