Ribon

Ribon (りぼん) is a monthly Japanese shōjo manga magazine published by Shueisha. First issued in August 1955, its rivals are Nakayoshi and Ciao. Its target audience is young girls roughly 9–13 years old.

The manga series from this magazine are later compiled and published in book form under the Ribon Mascot Comics imprint, including Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai. Several of Ai Yazawa's other early series were serialized in Ribon.
