The funny thing is, what would count as a "short manga"? Would stuff that's maybe 10 volumes or under be about right to be counted as "short manga"?

4 volumes and under should be considered "short" I think. 10 is fairly long.

Some of my favorite short manga...
Akkan Baby
Dear Mine
Help!!
Itadakimasu
Kakumei no Hi
Parallel
Pieta
Switch (shoujo)
Suki

FLCL would be my number one choice..

Ueda's next 2 volume work Q-ko-chan (manga-updates uses a funny spelling), I think is just as good if not better 🙂

(although I don't think it is available in a scanned/scanlated form)

I'd have to say Kokoro Kikai by Sumomo Yumeka if it counts. It's a short shounen-ai manga and it's subtle, sweet and makes you feel very light. Actually, I love all of Sumomo Yumeka's works. All of them are very short but all of them are great reads.

But I do agree that FLCL is an awesome manga. The anime was insanely fun too! Hurrah for Gainax!

azumanga daioh is only 4 volumes total, so I think it counts as a short manga 🙂
I find Lilim Kiss a nice read as well, and it's a shortmanga ofcourse. (2 volumes total)
Another short read is Hiatari Ryoukou. Not bad at all 😛 (3volumes)
Zan is enjoyable as well, if your in for some 2-volume weird samurai fighting!

I'm sticking it up for short manga, nothing more than two volumes. More than a oneshot, but not a series. Yeah, go short stuff!
one volume stuff:
duds hunt
reset
keep on vibrating

two volume stuff:
uncivilized planet
nijigahara holograph

If pressed to choose one i would choose duds hunt

note: all mature/adult manga

Warn: Banned

Reset was kind of stupid....I like Noise.

or maybe Journey to the End of the World

It's a freaky manga with freaky art. It contains mature subjects and cannibalism.
