Editing Manga (section)

=== Collected volumes ===
{{main|Tankōbon}}
After a series has run for a while, publishers often collect the chapters and print them in dedicated book-sized volumes, called {{tlit|ja|tankōbon}}. These can be hardcover, or more usually softcover books, and are the equivalent of U.S. [[trade paperback (comics)|trade paperbacks]] or [[graphic novel]]s. These volumes often use higher-quality paper, and are useful to those who want to "catch up" with a series so they can follow it in the magazines or if they find the cost of the weeklies or monthlies to be prohibitive. "Deluxe" versions have also been printed as readers have gotten older and the need for something special grew. Old manga have also been reprinted using somewhat lesser quality paper and sold for 100 yen (about $1 U.S. dollar) each to compete with the [[used book]] market.

==== History ====
[[Kanagaki Robun]] and [[Kawanabe Kyōsai]] created the first manga magazine in 1874: ''Eshinbun Nipponchi''. The magazine was heavily influenced by ''[[Japan Punch]]'', founded in 1862 by [[Charles Wirgman]], a British cartoonist. ''Eshinbun Nipponchi'' had a very simple style of drawings and did not become popular with many people. ''Eshinbun Nipponchi'' ended after three issues. The magazine ''Kisho Shimbun'' in 1875 was inspired by ''Eshinbun Nipponchi'', which was followed by ''Marumaru Chinbun'' in 1877, and then ''Garakuta Chinpo'' in 1879.<ref>[[#Eshinbun Nipponchi|Eshinbun Nipponchi]]</ref> ''[[Shōnen Sekai]]'' was the first ''[[shōnen]]'' magazine created in 1895 by Iwaya Sazanami, a famous writer of Japanese children's literature back then. ''Shōnen Sekai'' had a strong focus on the [[First Sino-Japanese War]].<ref name="JapanFocus">{{Harvnb|Griffiths|2007}}</ref>

The children's demographic was in an early stage of development in the [[Meiji period]]. ''Shōnen Pakku'' was influenced from foreign children's magazines such as ''Puck'' which an employee of Jitsugyō no Nihon (publisher of the magazine) saw and decided to emulate. In 1924, ''Kodomo Pakku'' was launched as another children's manga magazine after ''Shōnen Pakku''.<ref name="Pakku" /> During the boom, ''Poten'' (derived from the French "{{lang|fr|potin}}") was published in 1908. All the pages were in full color with influences from ''Tokyo Pakku'' and ''[[Osaka Puck]]''. It is unknown if there were any more issues besides the first one.<ref name="Poten" /> ''Kodomo Pakku'' was launched May 1924 by Tokyosha and featured high-quality art by many members of the manga artistry like Takei Takeo, Takehisa Yumeji and Aso Yutaka. Some of the manga featured [[speech balloons]], where other manga from the previous eras did not use speech balloons and were silent.<ref name="Pakku" />

Published from May 1935 to January 1941, ''Manga no Kuni'' coincided with the period of the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]] (1937–1945). ''Manga no Kuni'' featured information on becoming a [[mangaka]] and on other comics industries around the world. ''Manga no Kuni'' handed its title <!-- changed its name ? -->to ''Sashie Manga Kenkyū'' in August 1940.<ref name="MangaKuni">[[#Manga no Kuni|Manga no Kuni]]</ref>
