Weekly Young Sunday (週刊ヤングサンデー, Shūkan Yangu Sandē) was a weekly manga magazine published by Shogakukan in Japan since the first issue on March 27, 1987.[2] It replaced Shōnen Big Comic in Shogakukan's lineup of shōnen titles, and many of the titles in Shōnen Big Comic were continued in Young Sunday. The magazines was sometimes called Yansan (ヤンサン) for short.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Weekly Young Sunday, Shogakukan and Yahoo! Auctions Japan held a charity auction benefitting the Green Cross Japan. Various manga artists donated signed original artwork, and Shogakukan donated rare goods related to the series and people appearing in the magazine.[3][4]
On May 30, 2008, Shogakukan announced that they would cease publication of the magazine. The final issue was released on July 31, 2008.[5] Its gravure idol online service, Young Sunday Visual Web (ヤングサンデービジュアルウェブ), renamed to Visual Web S (ビジュアルウェブS) following the magazine's discontinuation, continued to operate from the Young Sunday domain until September 30, 2021, thirteen years after the namesake magazine ended publication.[6]
