《青山刚昌短篇集》是青山刚昌早期在《周刊少年Sunday》刊登的短篇作品加以收录的集合，文库版由二宫清纯撰写，因为原作者青山刚昌的代表作品《名侦探柯南》的大受欢迎，小学馆决定将这些短篇故事予以OVA化，被动画化作成《青山刚昌短篇集》特辑。在包含了《名侦探柯南》作者青山刚昌的出道作的短篇集中，青山亲自选出3部作品作成了动画，虽然是《名侦探柯南》发表前的作品，但是OVA已经和播放中的《名侦探柯南》同期制作，且工作人员和声优均为原班人马。 《青山刚昌短篇集1》 其3部作品的阵容是《要等我哦》（又译：约定）、《彷徨的红蝴蝶》、《夏天的圣诞老人》，每部都以“时间”、“空间”和“相遇”为主题。《要等我哦》和《夏天的圣诞老人》都是在科幻色彩的世界观中，高中生纯洁的恋爱模样的写照，时而诙谐幽默，时而又紧张严肃，是一部回味无穷的佳作。另一部《彷徨的红蝴蝶》则是一部不到10分钟的小作品，围绕着某个暗号的解答，让你一口气看完。最后的结尾也十分有趣，是一部幽默的小作品。 《青山刚昌短篇集2》其3部作品的阵容是《名侦探乔治的超级迷你大作战》《飞上夜空的十颗行星》《PLAY IT AGAIN》，其中《名侦探乔治的超级迷你大作战》仅漫画第一集动画化。 《青山刚昌短篇集3》其包含《名侦探柯南 少年侦探团7分钟特辑》，为少年Sunday40周年特辑，但是台湾将其一并收录放进VCD中。
