Weekly Shonen Sunday

Since March 1959, Shogakukan has published Weekly Shonen Sunday, a weekly shonen manga magazine. Weekly Shonen Sunday issues, contrary to their title, are published on Wednesdays. Since 1986, Weekly Shonen Sunday has sold over 1.8 billion copies, making it the fourth best-selling manga magazine, trailing only Weekly Shonen Jump, Weekly Shonen Magazine, and Weekly Young Jump.

Since its debut, this legendary manga magazine has featured some of the most compelling and innovative stories ever told, providing a haven for manga enthusiasts seeking thrills and adventure. Its success is unsurprising, given that it consistently delivers some of the genre's most popular games. No wonder it is one of the best Japanese manga magazines.

The unique "pointing finger" in the lower corner of every page on the left side of the magazine first appeared in the 4/5 issue of 1969. This discrete trait, always present but sometimes overlooked, was mentioned as a story aspect in 20th Century Boys. Sunday's more visible mascot, a helmeted fish, first appeared in the 1980s.

Weekly Shonen Sunday and Weekly Shonen Magazine produced a special joint issue on March 19, 2008, an uncommon occurrence due to the proximity of the two magazines' founding dates. As part of the celebrations, more memorial events, products, and manga crossovers were planned for the next year.
