History

Monthly Action was launched on May 25, 2013, the anniversary of publisher Futabasha's founding.[2] The magazine was formed from a merging of the editorial departments of the manga magazines Manga Action, Comic High!, and Manga Town.[3] While typically categorized as seinen magazine (manga for young adult men), the magazine follows a philosophy of publishing "anything interesting", and does not strictly conform to a specific genre or target demographic.[3] The magazine launched with Action Kamen, a series based on a fictional in-universe super hero from the manga series Crayon Shin-chan.[4]

The magazine ended its publication on February 24, 2024, with its current series transferred to other magazines. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Tsugumomo, Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentōshō, Wazato Miseteru? Kamoi-san, and Kawasemi-san no Tsuri Gohan moved to sister magazine Manga Action. Other series including the four Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid spinoff manga — including Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Elma's Office Lady Diary, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Kanna's Daily Life, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse, and Kobayashi-san-chi no Maid Dragon: Lucoa wa Boku no xx Desu — were all transferred to the Web Action manga website. Hina no Mama ja Dame Desu ka? and Seiten no Ordo - Talc Teikoku Kōkyī Hishi manga both published their final chapters in the issue.[5]
