Not sure if my phrasing is correct but does anyone know the manga release
cycle of Keijo!!!! (Hip whip girl)?

I haven't seen an issue for it in a while and the source I use to read it
seems to only update monthly.

Does the manga actually release monthly? And how can I find this information
for future series that I read?

What is the Keijo manga release cycle?


Keijo is published in "Shuukan Shounen Sunday", which is a weekly magazine.

To figure out what cycle a manga follows, you can use mangaupdates, which will
show you the serialization magazine for each manga. From there you can just
google the name of the magazine, and usually the english title will be an
answer by itself, like in this case where "Shuukan" translates to "Weekly".

On [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keijo!!!!!!!!) it says

> **_Keijo!!!!!!!!_** (Japanese: 競女!!!!!!!!, lit. "Competitive Girl"), also
> known as **_Hip Whip Girl_** , is a Japanese sports manga series by Daichi
> Sorayomi. It has been serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine
> Weekly Shōnen Sunday since July 2013 and has been collected in fourteen
> tankōbon volumes.

and confirming [Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen
Sunday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Sunday)

> **_Weekly Shōnen Sunday_** (Japanese: 週刊少年サンデー Hepburn: _Shūkan Shōnen
> Sandē_ ) is a weekly shōnen manga magazine published in Japan by Shogakukan
> since March 1959. Contrary to its title, Weekly Shōnen Sunday issues are
> released on Wednesdays.

now looking at the [wikia](http://keijo.wikia.com/wiki/Manga) there is 159
Chapters with 151 Chapters in tankōbon format.

> **_Keijo!!!!!!!!_** manga series is written and drawn by Daichi Sorayomi. It
> has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday since July 2013 and has been
> collected in twelve tankōbon volumes along with 151 chapters.

my number of 159 is based off that at the end of the page the last chapter
number is 159. also you can see the tankōbon volumes vary in their release
dates.

starting at [the first Wednesday of July 2013 to the Wednesday just past
(04/01/2017)](https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?d1=03&m1=07&y1=2013&d2=04&m2=1&y2=2017)
we can see there has been 183 weeks passed. now if 1 chapter of Keijo!!!!!!!!
is released every week there is a discrepancy of 24 weeks (`183-159 = 24`) but
these can be accounted for by holidays and that i don't know when in July the
first chapter of Keijo!!!!!!!! came out (so it may not have been 03/07/2013).

with this information we can roughly guess that Keijo!!!!!!!! is being
released weekly in each issue of Weekly Shōnen Sunday in Japan with some
breaks for holidays. of cause without having the issues themselves i can't be
for certain that each issue has had 1 chapter of Keijo!!!!!!!!

as i pointed out in my
[comment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/38260/what-is-the-keijo-
manga-release-cycle/38266?noredirect=1#comment52058_38266) the [Mangaupdates
page](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=101987) has a "releases"
section but these are the scanlation releases as such the release of these are
not predefined especially since these are unofficial. not to mention that the
this list should stop being updated if/when Keijo!!!!!!!! is officially
licensed in English to which would generally mean they would be released in
tankōbon format
