Even in Japan print magazines are struggling. But the older I get the more I appreciate reading manga online so I am not against the change.

I may be showing some naivety, but the link for Goraku Web leads to a 404. Is it only available for people in Japan? Or is there a different site to check out?

The Seinen Magazines especially. I live in Iwate Prefecture in a small town, And we have 5 or 6 konbini’s and two independent books stores. All of them are surprisingly well stocked ,especially the book stores. However by the end of the week, it’s usually Jump, and Kodansha’s weekly Shonen Magazine that are gone from their shelf space. Everything else kind of sits there. Some of the Seinen Magazines I’d say still have a high circulation, But I heard Shogakugans Sunday GX has less than 10,000 readers a month. I don’t know how those types of magazines stay afloat. Most kids and even younger adults here prefers manga on their tablet or phone. At least in my neck of the woods. However I think in places like Tokyo there will always be a place for the best sellers once that inevitable future arrives where many magazines just shutter.
