Manga Time Family, Manga Time Jumbo Magazines Listed as Ending in March

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda

Japanese online retailer 7net is listing the April issue of Houbunsha's Manga Time Family magazine, and the March issue of the Manga Time Jumbo magazine, as their last issues. Manga Time Family's April issue (seen right) is slated for March 17, while Manga Time Jumbo's March issue is slated for March 12.

Both magazines are part of Houbunsha's Manga Time family of magazines, which are sister magazines of the company's main Manga Time magazine. They include the Kirara sub-family of magazines. Houbunsha recently ceased publication of the Manga Time Kirara Miracle! magazine, and its last issue shipped last October.

Houbunsha launched the Manga Time Family magazine in 1984. Notable series that ran or are running in the magazine include Rurū Minase's Ōya-san wa Shishunki!, Mao Marui's Bokujo OL, Tae Sano's Mura Doll, and Ema Toyama's Pocha-Pocha Swimming Club and Imōto no o Shigoto wa Jikyū 2000-en. Ōya-san wa Shishunki! inspired a television anime in 2016.

Houbunsha launched the Manga Time Jumbo magazine in 1995. Fumiyo Kouno published her Kokko-san manga in the magazine from 1999 to 2001. Hinako Seta is currently serializing the Re-Kan! manga in the magazine. Seta launched the manga in the magazine as a one-shot story in 2009, and began serializing it in 2010. The manga inspired a 13-episode television anime in 2015.
