Weekly Shōnen Magazine
, also known as ''Shōnen Magazine'', is a shōnen manga magazine published by Kodansha, first published on 17 March 1959. Despite some unusual censorship policies (until just recently, it was one of the only shōnen magazines to forbid the depiction of female nipples), it's mainly read by an older audience, with a large portion of its readership falling under the male high school or college student demographic.
==Reception==
The ''Weekly Shōnen Magazine'' achieved success in the 1970s and subsequently had increased sales. As a result, it became the top selling manga magazine in Japan of its period, appearing popular amongst many otaku. But the position was later occupied by ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'', when this competitor was born in 1968, knocking Shonen Magazine off the top spot. ''Shōnen Jump'' had now begun to circulate and dominate the manga magazine market. This began from the 1970s and continued throughout the 1990s, largely owed to Akira Toriyama's ''Dragon Ball''. In the middle of the 1990s, ''Shōnen Jump'' suffered the loss of ''Dragon Ball'', as the franchise had come to an end in 1996, and thus lost much of its readership. ''Shōnen Magazine'' had now made a comeback in October 1997, regaining its original position as the top selling manga magazine of its day until this was brokered in 2002. Currently, the two magazines have competed closely in terms of market circulation. Sales of the two magazines now remain very close. Circulation has dropped below two million. In a rare event due to the closeness of the two magazine's founding dates, Weekly Shōnen Magazine and Weekly Shōnen Sunday released a special combined issue on March 19, 2008. In addition, other commemorative events, merchandise, and manga crossovers were planned for the following year as part of the celebrations.〔(Shonen Magazine, Shonen Sunday Mark 50th Anniversary (Updated) - Anime News Network )〕
