It's always bothered me how there wasn't a thread for any of these magazines considering how big they are in Japan. Hopefully this thread encourages more discussion and helps bring in some attention to a bunch of great manga.
These are the main magazines, all of them are published by Shogakukan:
Big Comic is a semimonthly seinen manga magazine published since 28 February 1968. It was originally launched as a monthly magazine, but switched to twice monthly on the 10th and 25th beginning in April 1968.
Big Comic Original is a Japanese seinen manga magazine aimed at an older adult and mostly male audience. It is a sister magazine to Big Comic, the biggest difference being that it goes on sale twice a month in the weeks Big Comic doesn't. It launched in 1972.
Big Comic Spirits is a weekly Japanese seinen manga magazine aimed at adult males. It originally launched on October 14, 1980.
Big Comic Superior is a semimonthly seinen manga magazine published since July 1, 1987. Its target audience is somewhere between the audience for Big Comic Original and Big Comic Spirits.
Monthly Big Comic Spirits is a monthly Japanese seinen manga magazine aimed at males 20–25 years old. It originally launched on August 27, 2009. It is a companion magazine to the weekly Big Comic Spirits.
Any contributions are welcome. Let's do our best to make the manga from these magazines more well known.
