別冊週漫スペシャル [Bessatsu Shūman Supesharu / Separate Shukan Specials]

A short-lived but prolific anthology from Houbunsha, Bessatsu Shūman Supesharu ran for 60 issues from 2010 to 2014, offering a dedicated space for serialized manga that didn't fit the parent magazine's weekly rhythm. The series is notable for showcasing a diverse range of slice-of-life and comedic works, many from emerging talents, and for providing a crucial incubator for stories that would later define the publisher's gentle, character-driven house style. Its compact lifespan and focused curation make it a fascinating snapshot of early-2010s manga trends.
