Short Program (ショートプログラム, Shōto Puroguramu?) is the title of a series of unrelated short manga collections by Mitsuru Adachi. Three volumes (as of July 2007) compile stories selected from shōjo and shōnen works released from 1985 until 2007.
Short Program
The first collection, titled simply Short Program, collected stories published between 1985 and 1988. In Japan, Shogakukan published this in November 1988. In the United States, Viz Media published this collection in March 2000. The chapters are arranged differently from the Japanese release, for unknown reasons. As was customary with most manga published in the US at the time, the pages were 'flopped' so that they read right to left, rather than left to right as originally drawn. It is also printed at a larger paper size than the now-standard manga size.
