Script error: No such module "Nihongo". was a Japanese Script error: No such module "lang". manga magazine published by Kodansha and first launched with a cover date of September 5, 1983.[2] Its audience demographic was geared toward younger teenage boys, and its contents tended to be predominantly sports stories and high school romantic comedies. Many of the popular series in Magazine Special were transferred there from other Kodansha publications like Weekly Shōnen Magazine after their initial run. It was issued monthly on the 20th in perfect-bound B5 format and retailed for 540 yen. Issues were typically about 600 pages printed in black-and-white on heavy newsprint, with a few glossy pages in color. Between 20 and 30 stories appeared in each issue, almost all of them installments of ongoing and frequently long-running serials by different manga artists.
In August 2016, it was announced that the magazine would cease publication with the February 2017 issue.[3]
