Young Animal (ヤングアニマル, Yangu Animaru) is a semimonthly Japanese seinen manga magazine that features photos of gravure idols.

[3][6][7] Young Animal is issued on the second and fourth Friday of each month in saddle-stapled B5 format.

[8] A typical issue consists of about 300 black-and-white pulp pages of manga wrapped in about 20 slick pages of color pinup photos of teenage girls in bikinis (generally pop stars and gravure idols).

[9] Each issue features about 15 different stories, mostly serial stories tending toward sexy romantic comedy, fantasy, and epic adventure, with a number of humorous yonkoma or four-panel gag strips.

Popular long-running series appearing in Young Animal include the medieval dark fantasy adventure Berserk and the modern day married-life sex comedy Futari Ecchi (both over 300 chapters as of 2010).
