Four volumes compile stories selected from shōjo, shōnen, josei and seinen works released from 1985 until 2009.

Unlike the first volume, this collection was published right to left, in the now-standard paper size for manga.

The Road Home 2: While on his way to cram school, a little boy finds himself stranded in the past.

The Wilamette Week's Jamie Rich called the first volume of Short Program "solid, escapist entertainment" and "as irresistibly infatuating as comic books can get."

The adaptation is produced by Atmovie Inc. and Lapone Entertainment as an 11-episodes anthology television drama, with the members of boy group JO1 alternately playing the male protagonist in each episode.
