I Love Mama (stylized "I LOVE mama") was a gyaru fashion and lifestyle magazine published monthly in Japan by Inforest Publishing. Originally named "Mama Nuts × Ageha", I Love Mama was established as a special edition of two gyaru magazines, the hostess-targeted Koakuma Ageha magazine and dark-skin obsessed Happie Nuts magazine. I Love Mama was considered a unique magazine, as it was a magazine especially for "gyaru-mama", women who remain gyaru after pregnancy, consisting of the likes of housekeeping tips, parenting tips, and fashion tips. Described as a "mega-hit" magazine, it has been the highest-selling gyaru-mama magazine ever since its launch in 2008. History I Love Mama was first published in September 2008 under the name "Mama Nuts × Ageha" as a special co-edition of Koakuma Ageha and Happie Nuts, after these two magazines' special editorials for "gyaru-mama" audiences gained considerable popularity. Mama Nuts × Ageha was the first-ever magazine devoted solely to the gyaru-mama scene, and it became a smash-hit, with 150,000 copies sold during its first three days and an additional 30,000 copies sold. Mama Nuts × Ageha changed its name to "I Love Mama", becoming monthly in April 2009. Circulation reached 200,000 by October 2009. Following the closure of Inforest Publishing I Love Mama ended publication in 2014.
