What was the first manga magazine?


What was the first manga magazine? And what manga are published in there? I'm
curious about this, I'm only familiar with Shonen Jump and it [published in
Japan by Shueisha from
1970](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monthly_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump)

I was wondering if there are any other manga magazines that have been
published before Shonen Jump?




There are quite a few manga magazines that started before Shonen Jump. Going
off of [this list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_manga_magazines), the
earliest published manga magazine was Monthly Manga Shounen (Gekkan Manga
Shounen), which started in 1947.

There are manga magazine publishing companies that predate 1947, such as
[Shogakukan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogakukan), which was founded in
1922; [Kodansha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodansha), which was formally
founded in 1938; and [Kadokawa
Shoten](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadokawa_Shoten), which was founded in
1945. As far as I can tell, though, none of these companies published manga
magazines before 1947.

[Toward the Terra](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toward_the_terra) was one
manga published in Monthly Manga Shounen.
