Shonen Magazine Edge is a manga magazine by Kodansha, a Japanese publishing company, which aims to publish work related to diverse interested manga, including Closing Pandora, B no Shokutaku, Armitama, and more.
This relatively new manga magazine was launched in September 2015 with a release schedule of a new issue on the 17th of each month.

Shonen Magazine Edge focuses on several popular manga series, such as Shaman King’s sequels, including Shaman King: The Superstar, Ao Chan Can’t Study, Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle -Before the Battle- The Dirty Dawg, and more.
