Shounen Magazine + Shounen Sunday
NHK news reports that Shounen Magazine and Shounen Sunday will be collaborating to release a biweekly magazine starting from late April this year. Currently they’ve only announced that they will publish the more popular chapters of Conan and Kindaichi in the magazine.
Both Shounen Magazine and Shounen Sunday started in 1959 March and have been rivals for a long time. But they have been dropping in sales every year recently, with Sunday at 935,000 books sold and Shounen Magazine at 1,870,000 books sold in 2007, less than half of what they were doing back when they were at their peak.
They haven’t said anything else about the contents of the magazine aside from having old stuff from Conan and Kindaichi, I hope it’ll have some good manga.
I was just telling somebody the other day that I wished that Hata Kenjirou was in Shounen Magazine instead so that he could mess around with Kumeda…
