is a weekly ''shōnen'' manga magazine published in Japan by Shogakukan since March 1959. Contrary to its title, ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'' issues are released on Wednesdays. ==History== ''Shōnen Sunday'' was first published in March 1959〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.patlabor.info/jpnmagazinelist.htm )〕 as a response to its rival ''Weekly Shōnen Magazine''. The debut issue featured Shigeo Nagashima, the star player of the Yomiuri Giants on the cover, and a congratulatory article by Isoko Hatano, a noted child psychologist. Despite its name, ''Shōnen Sunday'' was originally published on Tuesdays of each week, switching to Wednesdays in 2011. The "Sunday" in the name was the creation of its first editor, Kiichi Toyoda, who wanted the title to be evocative of a relaxing weekend. ''Shōnen Sunday'' Prior to the 1990s and 2000s no serial in ''Shōnen Sunday'' had run over 40 volumes, but that began to change with series such as ''Detective Conan'', ''Major'', ''InuYasha'', ''Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Kenichi'' and ''Karakuri Circus'', which maintained a high level of popularity. In a rare event due to the closeness of the two magazine's founding dates, ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'' and ''Weekly Shōnen Magazine'' released a special combined issue on 19 March 2008. In addition, other commemorative events, merchandise, and manga crossovers were planned for the following year as part of the celebrations. The book ''Shonen Sunday 1983'' was published on 15 July 2009 to celebrate the anniversary and the magazines heyday. It reprints manga from 1983, such as ''Urusei Yatsura'' and ''Touch'', and has interviews with their creators as well as artists who were inspired by the series from that period, such as Gosho Aoyama. To celebrate ''Weekly Shōnen Sundays 55th anniversary, 55 new manga series were launched in the print and online magazines ''Weekly Shonen Sunday'', ''Shonen Sunday S'', ''Ura Sunday'', and ''Club Sunday'' throughout the year beginning in March 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weekly Shōnen Sunday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
