Full Metal Panic Surplus

drawn by Nagai Tomohiro, the same artist as Ikinari/Overload. More serious in tone, it's a one shot story about Sousuke, Mao, and Kurz trying to stop a terrorist in Taiwan. It is only one volume and was not released outside of Japan.

Anniversary 4koma Collection

drawn by Shikidouji herself, 42 short 4 panel comics that are entirely comedic. I've translated all of them and will work on uploading them because it's near impossible to get this book outside Japan!
To tide you over, my thread of translations of all the comics is right here

Full Metal Panic: Another

Yeah, I guess this one has a manga too?
