Weekly Young Magazine


Weekly Young Magazine is a Japanese weekly anthology magazine published in Tokyo each Monday by Kodansha. The magazine started on June 16, 1980, and is targeted at the adult male demographic. It was published bimonthly, on the second and fourth Mondays of every month, until switching to a weekly publication in 1989. The chapters of the series that run in Weekly Young Magazine are collected and published in tankōbon volumes under the "YoungKC" imprint every four months.
The magazine usually features color photos of pinup girl gravure idols on the cover and first few pages of each issue.
Since December 9, 2009, Kodansha has published a monthly sister magazine, Monthly Young Magazine, a retitled makeover of their previous publication Bessatsu Young Magazine, which had published a total of 36 bimonthly issues during its existence.
