How do I read 初商業誌?


I searched google, jisho, and yahoo. I couldn't find a proper pronunciation
for 初商業誌.




It's read as はつしょうぎょうし.

You can never find it in dictionaries because it's actually three words:

  * 初【はつ】: first ([jisho.org](http://jisho.org/word/%E5%88%9D))
  * 商業誌【しょうぎょうし】: commercial book/magazine (often as opposed to [dōjinshi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Djinshi)) 
    * 商業【しょうぎょう】: commerce ([jisho.org](http://jisho.org/word/%E5%95%86%E6%A5%AD))
    * 誌【し】: (suffix) magazine ([jisho.org](http://jisho.org/word/%E8%AA%8C))

初商業誌 is typically used when a dōjin manga-ka makes a debut on a magazine
available in the commercial market.
