| 3 | ''[=CoroCoro=] Comic'' is a monthly children's magazine by Shogakukan, which began publishing in 1977. Originally conceived as a place to house old chapters of ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'', the magazine soon became home to a host of manga for the {{Kodomomuke}} crowd and hasn't stopped ever since. |

| 5 | The magazine is aimed at younger boys than shounen books typically aim for, so their manga usually follows their interests. Its most well-known output is hobby manga and video game adaptations, usually more comedic than the original games themselves. Due to the magazine's popularity, it also set some standards for children's manga; they practically ''codified'' the TournamentArc in game-based manga, right down to the long, dramatic plays. They've also mastered the ShonenHair trope in their properties, with many hobby series having their own unique flavor of hairstyle. It (other than [[Magazine/ShonenJump a certain magazine's ]] own [[Franchise/YuGiOh hobby franchise]]) is also the reason why the style is closely associated with card games, earning it the alternate nickname of "card game hair". Chances are, if you remember a MerchandiseDriven series with outlandish rules, even more outlandish hair, and just as memorable tournaments, you've probably run into a ''[=CoroCoro=]'' manga at some point. |

| 7 | While ''[=CoroCoro=]'' as a magazine may not be as well known as other boys' anthologies in the West, people are more familiar with their anime adaptations, since a good chunk of them tended to be dubbed for weekday or Saturday morning kid's blocks. The magazine is also remembered as the go-to place for the latest information about popular kids' franchises like ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', with plenty of speculators forming their own theories based on what appears before a game's release. |

| 9 | The monthly version has 5 other siblings: ''Bessatsu [=CoroCoro=]'', ''[=CoroCoro=] Ichiban!'', the late ''[=CoroCoro=] Aniki'', a magazine for adults that grew up with the original and the web-only ''[=CoroCoro=] Online'' which was later relaunched as ''Weekly [=CoroCoro=] Comic''. Its sister magazine is the {{Shoujo|Demographic}}-oriented ''Ciao''. |
