History

Weekly Shōnen Sunday was first published on March 17, 1959, as a response to its rival Weekly Shōnen Magazine.[1][2] The debut issue featured Shigeo Nagashima, the star player of the Yomiuri Giants on the cover, and a congratulatory article by Isoko Hatano, a noted child psychologist.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Despite its name, Weekly Shōnen Sunday is published on Wednesday.[3][4] The "Sunday" in the name was the creation of its first editor, Kiichi Toyoda, who wanted the title to be evocative of a relaxing weekend.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Weekly Shōnen SundayTemplate:'s distinctive "pointing finger" that appears in the lower corner of every page on the left side of the magazine made its subtle debut in the 4/5 issue from 1969.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". This understated feature, ever present but easily overlooked, was referenced as a plot element in 20th Century Boys. SundayTemplate:'s more noticeable mascot, a helmeted fish, debuted in the 1980s.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Prior to the 1990s and 2000s no serial in Weekly Shōnen Sunday had run over 40 volumes, but that began to change with series such as Detective Conan, Major, Inuyasha, Karakuri Circus, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Hayate the Combat Butler, Zettai Karen Children, and Be Blues!, which maintained a high level of popularity.

In a rare event due to the closeness of the two magazines' founding dates, Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Weekly Shōnen Magazine released a special combined issue on March 19, 2008.[5] In addition, other commemorative events, merchandise, and manga crossovers were planned for the following year as part of the celebrations.[2] The book Shonen Sunday 1983 was published on July 15, 2009 to celebrate the anniversary and the magazine's heyday. It reprints manga from 1983, such as Urusei Yatsura and Touch, and has interviews with their creators as well as artists who were inspired by the series from that period, such as Gosho Aoyama.[6]

To celebrate Weekly Shōnen SundayTemplate:'s 55th anniversary, 55 new manga series were launched in the print and online magazines Weekly Shōnen Sunday, Shōnen Sunday S, Ura Sunday, and Club Sunday throughout the year beginning in March 2014.[7]
