Young King (magazine)
Young King is a Japanese seinen manga magazine published bi-weekly by Shōnen Gahōsha. It is aimed primarily at a male audience and features a diverse range of manga genres, including action, comedy, romance, and slice-of-life.
Young King is known for publishing manga that often feature more mature themes and content than those found in shōnen (young boys') manga magazines. Many popular manga series have been serialized in Young King before gaining broader recognition. The magazine also includes gravure idols, typically women in swimsuits or lingerie, adding to its appeal to its target demographic.
The magazine is a sister publication to Young King OURs, which focuses on a more science fiction and fantasy-oriented selection of manga. It is a prominent publication in the seinen manga market and contributes significantly to the diversity of manga available to Japanese readers.
