Boy's Life (Japanese magazine)

Boys' Life (ボーイズライフ, Bōizu Raifu) was a Japanese monthly shōnen magazine published by Shogakukan from April 1963 until August 1969.

The magazine was marketed to boys in junior high school and older, and included a manga section as well as general interest articles and information.

The editors of the magazine often travelled abroad to gather information and photographs for stories on adventures (such as cave exploration)[2] and unexplored regions of the world as well as the indigenous peoples inhabiting them.

Boy's Life also published a number of well-known artists, including Sanpei Shirato, creator of The Legend of Kamui.

They published "Stray Dog" (野犬, Yaken), the sixth chapter of Shirato's Sanpei Gekijō (三平劇場), in full color after the first five had originally appeared in Boy's Life.
