Gangan Joker 月刊ガンガンJOKER [Gekkan Gangan Joker]

Since its 2009 launch, Square Enix's Gangan Joker has been a premier home for boundary-pushing manga, blending dark fantasy, psychological horror, and offbeat comedy across its 200-issue run. The magazine quickly became a cultural touchstone by nurturing landmark series like Prison School and Kakegurui, while also championing the hauntingly beautiful The Girl from the Other Side. Under the stewardship of editors who fostered a distinctively edgy yet emotionally resonant tone, it carved out a space for stories that defy easy categorization, from the supernatural intrigue of Rokka no Yuusha to the surreal humor of Demi-chan wa Kataritai. For fans of manga that dares to be different, Gangan Joker remains an essential, consistently surprising anthology.
