Notes

The current English publishing market is Kodansha USA.

The previous English publishing market was Del Rey Manga which had a strong partnership and has been defunct since 2010 after Kodansha USA took over their manga publications.

Do not upload series under Dessert Pink as "Bessatsu Pink". Same goes to Dessert Blue. Both are a supplement (a furoku) to the main Dessert magazine which contains a serialization of short stories and never a separate sister magazine.

After Shoujo Friend ceased publication in 1996, the Suspense & Horror special issues continued but as special issues of Bessatsu Friend, then moved once more to Dessert, but nothing changed about S&H itself.

Hatsu Kiss got cancelled on June 25, 2021 with its 36th issue. All of the ongoing series moved to Palcy female-aimed manga app.

On August 4th, Morning Two Web opened as a replacement for Morning Two. They are not technically suspended, just changed the format.

Please stop changing demographics if you are not familiar with the magazine. Japanese manga magazines have a traditional system and some of them have a fixed target audience. Look up the majority. Info like this can be found in digital stores, confirmation from the author/publisher, etc.

Evening will cease its publication with Evening issue 6 coming out on February 28, 2023 as the last issue. Several ongoing works will be continued on Comic Days.

Please don't change the year in an entry if you're not sure when it's released. The first thing is prioritize the release date in the magazine and not the volume release date that will come out later. It's as simple as when the serialization started and ended. For compilations of author's works, they are distributed in various magazines with different dates so the volume release date can be used when it comes out. Users will come and go to fix so please check together with the correct info.
