Garo (magazine)
was a monthly manga anthology magazine in Japan, founded in 1964 by Katsuichi Nagai. It specialized in alternative and avant-garde manga.
==History==
Katsuichi Nagai founded ''Garo'' in July 1964 with the help of Sanpei Shirato, naming it after one of Shirato's ninja characters. The first series published in ''Garo'' was Shirato's ninja drama ''Kamui'', which with its themes of class struggle and anti-authoritarianism was a hit with college students. Garo attracted several influential ''gekiga'' artists such as Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Yoshiharu Tsuge, and discovered and promoted many new artists.
''Garos circulation at the peak of its popularity in 1971 was over eighty thousand. However, during the 1970s and 1980s its popularity declined. By the mid-80s its circulation was barely over twenty thousand, and its demise was rumored to be imminent. Nagai managed to keep it going independently until 1991, when it was bought out by a game software company. Although a new, young president was installed and advertisements for computer games (based on stories featured in ''Garo'') started to run in the magazine, Nagai was kept on board as chairman until his death in 1996.
After being bought out, there were allegations of the anthology taking a more commercial path. Eventually authors who were regular to ''Garo'' went their own ways and founded other anthologies like ''Ax''. ''Garo'' is no longer being published.
