Gonna post a randomly chosen collection of oneshots or individual chapters in a longer series that can still be understood.
Feel free to talk about or recommend any recent oneshots.
This first one is Beta!, by Urasawa Naoki (Monster, 20th century Boys), which was included in the collection, NASA.

Nice.
This next one's called Cool Lady, by Nananan Kiriko, in the collection titled "Water."
...
Apart from oneshots that gets developed into fully fleshed out stories, I think 100$ dollars is too cheap is the only one I've read.
...
I was actually considering on posting that one, but now I won't so you'll get to see something new.

Saw it coming.
This next one's called "Her Confession" from Ishikawa Masayuki (Moyashimon, Junketsu no Maria), included in the collection, Weekly Ishikawa Masayuki.

Oh wow

Are you The Hox that translated Sangokushi? I'm enjoying the hell out of that series and great work.
Oh good, I'm glad there are people reading it. I really should post it more now that I finished translating it but it's just so long it's kind of a pain. Nice to see people can get past the dated art and enjoy the story.
Also, if you're curious about the historical context behind the manga itself, I wrote a post on it when I finished it: hoxtranslations.blogspot.com

This next one's called I am a Piano, by Nakamura Asumiko. It used to be posted pretty often long time ago, now that I think of it. It was included in the collection, "Le théâtre."
Wow, that's a mess.
...
How the hell do you find these kind of comics?
That one I found because I like Ishikawa Masayuki. I usually use mangaupdates.com to look at what other stuff mangaka I like have done.
...
Fucking incredible.
...

This next one called "No Deposit!" is by the God of Manga himself, Tezuka, and was included in the collection, Fuusuke.
If you're looking specifically for bizarre oneshots collections, it's not that hard to come across everything translated. Especially given common authors, influences and themes.

Haha, despite how strange these all are, they're quite amusing. Thanks for dumping them!

For people who don't know, in a traditional Japanese family, the wife is expected to "husband" the husband's earnings. You see the archetype of the dominant mother controlling the purse-strings pretty often in comedies.
Everyone played this piano
...
Much appreciated. Oneshot manga is among some of the best I've read.
I'm really partial to Rui Kyoko's oneshots, but I feel like they're pretty well read.
Cigarette Anthology MENTHOL has some cool stuff.
Isn't that just a traditional family dynamic, not specific to Japanese?
...
No, not really. Family dynamics can be pretty diverse globally speaking.
...
You definitely see it played out for comedy in other cultures.
Yeah, maybe it's more often in comedies because it's a subversion of the typical male-female dynamic.
Poor house. Should've burned herself with the guy in it.
;_;
Men as a whole seem to have more vices. It only seems kind of reasonable to have it occur.
This shouldn't be as sad as it is.
Next is one "Snow White," from Morohoshi Daijirou's Sneewittchen.
And before some kraut tries to tell me it's spelled "Schneewittchen," NO IT ISN'T. The original is a Low German tale.
