Comic Bunch (コミックバンチ, Komikku Banchi) was a Japanese manga anthology marketed to a seinen audience that was edited by Coamix and published weekly by Shinchosha from 2001 to 2010 and became monthly from 2011 to 2024. The collected editions of their titles were published under the Bunch Comics imprint.
History
In 2000, Nobuhiko Horie, former editor-in-chief of Weekly Shōnen Jump, along with former Jump authors who worked under Horie such as Tetsuo Hara and Tsukasa Hojo, founded the manga editing company Coamix, with Shinchōsha acting as their business partner. The premiere issue of Coamix's Comic Bunch was published on May 15, 2001 (but dated May 29 on the cover). Prior to the publication of the actual first issue, Coamix released a free preview issue featuring illustrations and interviews with various artists. The magazine was originally published on Tuesday, but was changed to Friday from 2002 and onward.
In 2010, Shinchosha ceased publication of Weekly Comic Bunch with its September 10 issue (published on August 27). On the day of the final issue's publication, Shinchosha relaunched the official Comic Bunch website, announcing their plans to revive the magazine as a monthly publication titled Monthly Comic Bunch which later began publication on January 21, 2011. Coamix began publishing an unrelated manga anthology titled Monthly Comic Zenon, which debuted on October 25, 2010.
In March 2024, Monthly Comic Bunch ceased physical publication and was rebranded into the newly formed Comic Bunch Kai web magazine which will launch on April 26.
