So I generally prefer longer stories, 5+ volumes and tend to avoid anything shorter than that.The trouble is I'm hitting a wall with longer series, either I've read them, aren't interested, or there aren't any translations or scans available.

So I'm looking for shorter stories, (no one shots), one or two volumes. Anything you consider a must read (I don't even care about genre or anything, I'm keeping this wide open).

Double Arts has 3
Kamisama ga Uso o Tsuku.
Tomodachi no Hanashi
Densha Otoko
Game Over (MIZUTANI Fuka)
Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai
Seishun Kouryakuhon
Soshite, Hare ni Naru

some of them I wouldn't consider must reads, but they are very good nonethless.

Quote from bionioncle

I second these and have fixed the links for you. For future reference, you can link any manga series in a forum post by putting its title between brackets (i.e. [Manga Title]).

In addition to seconding the above, here's some recommendations of my own:
Not Simple
A Kindly World
The Music of Marie
Claudine...!
Baka & Gogh
Coo's World
Shuna's Journey
Tales of a Charcoal Burner

And anything by Kouno Fumiyo that's been translated.

Let's see...

[m]Tende FreezeI[/m] Three volumes I think.
ARAGO Four volumes? Can't remember...
Iris Zero I think it's more than a volume...
Nukoduke! Actually kinda long, but it's really fast reading so it seems short.
Ueki no Housoku and Ueki no Housoku Plus Definite must reads!
