Comic Gumbo: Japan's First Free Manga Weekly
Date: 1/12/2007
The Mainichi Daily News reports on Comic Gumbo, Japan's first ever free weekly manga magazine, will hit the streets next week. Venture Publisher Dejima will start handing out Comic Gumbo from Tuesday next week, giving comic fans two complete stories and 11 series features, featuring such manga-ka as Tatsuya Egawa (who will give his own interpretation of novelist Soseki Natsume's classic "Botchan"), Motoka Murakami, Hiroyuki Yoshida and Shuho Itabashi. Dejima plans to produce 100,000 copies per issue, handing them out to the target readership of men in their 20s to 40s on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week. Gumbo will be distributed during busy periods in the morning and afternoon mostly at stations along the Yamanote Line, but will handed out at about 30 stations in the Tokyo area as far as Omiya, Yokohama and Chiba stations. Gumbo will have 230 pages, about half the number of popular manga books, with around 26 pages devoted to ads. It will also be available free online.
