By one-shot I mean usually one (or two) volume mangas that aren't meant to be long stories with several arcs but a single one with a clear goal.

Great topic. I wish there were even more suggestions on here as I'm always looking for one shot manga. There doesn't seem to be many.

One of the best Batman's manga! Kia Asamiya was really good. Here's a couple of one-shots that i suggest:
- Chronowar (Denmu Jikuu) by Kasumasa Takayama
- Zashiki Onna (Hauntress) by Minetaro Mochizuki
- Fear (Kyofu) by Kazuo Umezz, translated by the Slug-Chicks Fansub
- 2001 Nights Chapter Seven: Lucifer Rising, by Yukinobu Hoshino
