Sho-Comi

[5] The manga featured in Sho-Comi are later compiled and published in book form (tankōbon) under the Flower Comics imprint.

Shōjo Comic started in April 1968 as a monthly magazine, before its frequency increased to semimonthly in 1969.

In 2007, the Japanese National PTA Conference ranked Sho-Comi the worst manga magazine for young children due to its excessive sexual content.

[17][18] Many concerned parents have advised publishers to be more wary of the availability of these magazines to young readers.

[19] From January to March 2019, Sho-Comi had 70,000 physical copies in circulation, which later dropped to 68,000 from April to June 2019.
