Short Program (ショートプログラム, Shōto Puroguramu^?) is the title of a series of unrelated romance short manga collections by Mitsuru Adachi. Two volumes were compiled selected shōjo and shōnen works released from 1985 until 1995.

[edit] 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.
