Pucchigumi (Japanese: ぷっちぐみ, lit. "Petit Group") is a Japanese monthly children's manga magazine published by Shogakukan. Several different manga titles and adaptations aimed at young female readers have been serialized in the magazine in its decade-long history. The latest circulation figures places the magazine at 40,000 copies which is in the middle third of the circulation list[a] when compared to other manga magazines.

Overview

[edit]

Pucchigumi first began publication in July 2006 with a targeted audience aimed towards young girls.[3] Original serialized works include titles such as Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll among other independent one shots (dōjinshi). The other main serialization comes in the form of manga from franchises Shogakukan has the rights to.[4] Examples of these include Jewelpet, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and Pretty Rhythm. Pucchigumi has also featured manga artists such as Riyoko Ikeda giving an "illustration course" for kids.[5] Upcoming anime announcements related to titles owned by Shogakukan are also announced and promoted in Pucchigumi. These have included the Girls × Heroine Series and Aikatsu!. For advertisement, a few characters have appeared more than once on the front covers of the magazine. In March 2013 Shogakukan released via YouTube a song titled "Pucchigumi's Song" (ぷっちぐみのうた).[6]

In addition to serialized manga, Pucchigumi holds yearly auditions for girls under 12 years old to model exclusively for their magazine and other promotional material, to which they are known as Pucchi Models.[7] Current models include Anna (2017–present), Yumena Iio, and Beni Abe (2019–present).[8][9][10] Past models include Akari Motokura, whose tenure was from 2015 to 2016.[11]
