Shōjo Comic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shōjo Comic (少女コミック, commonly abbreviated to 少コミ Shōkomi, Sho-Comi or Shōcomi) is a bimonthly shōjo manga magazine published in Japan since 1968. It was originally published weekly and it continued to be published weekly until the 1980s. Many influential shoujo manga ran in Sho-Comi during the 70s. Moto Hagio's works and Keiko Takemiya's works in particular were very groundbreaking.
The manga it features is marketed to appeal to girls from late middle school through high school. Originally the manga in Sho-Comi were very tame, and rarely featured anything that could be considered sexual in content, not even kissing scenes. Over time, with successful stories such as Mayu Shinjō's series Kaikan Phrase (Sensual Phrase), which was heavy in sexual content, Sho-Comi is now seen as having more sexual content than its competitors Margaret and Hana to Yume, although most of the time the sex scenes are not "H" (often called hentai outside of Japan) level.
