Monthly Asuka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monthly Asuka (月刊あすか, Gekkan Asuka^?) is a monthly Japanese shōjo manga magazine published by Kadokawa Shoten, aimed primarily at young girls, but with some crossover into young male audiences. Much like its sibling publication Shonen Ace, it places some emphasis on anime tie-ins and spinoffs. Asuka is released on the 24th of each month.

Comics published in this magazine are given the publishing label Asuka Comics when released in tankoubon format.
