Announcing the World's First Apple Watch Manga Magazine, Proclaiming Apple Watch as the Ultimate Content Device!
A Global First! World's Smallest! The Charming Project with the Greatest Vision - Presenting 'Shonen Watch,' Now Launched!*
• The world's first manga magazine designed for Apple Watch.
• The smallest manga magazine ever created.
• The first solo manga magazine entirely crafted by a single creator.
• A groundbreaking project marking the beginning of the content business on the Apple Watch.
• The Apple Watch manga market starts here.
With a grand vision declaring the Apple Watch as an excellent device for content, including comics and manga, we decided to proceed with the smallest and cutest project ever: Shonen Watch!
Shonen Watch is a heartfelt homage to the 90s Shonen Jump, evoking nostalgia for a time when manga was purely about enjoyment. It delivers the same unfiltered joy of manga entertainment we all cherish.
To bring this vision to life, Boichi has crafted six small and charming titles, along with even smaller bonus features like parody advertisements and playful reader illustration corners. Every element of the magazine—from concept to completion—was created by the mangaka himself. This groundbreaking solo manga magazine project is a testament to Boichi’s homage to masterpieces, his artistic vision, and his unique sensibility.
All six serialized works are entirely the creation of Boichi, showcasing six distinct genres for you to enjoy. These include fantasy action, School gang action, and romantic comedy reminiscent of the 90s Shonen Jump. There’s also includes gourmet manga and the latest trendy essay manga. Most notably, it includes funny animal manga, the best choice for small and cute pages. We have repeatedly researched to create all these works as manga optimized for the device called the Apple Watch, expressed in different art styles and storytelling. However, all feature cute characters because Shonen Watch's theme is the 'cutest project'.
This charming manga magazine marks the first step in our 'Gum Comic Project' and serves as a declaration of the power and potential of comics and manga. Since the release of the Apple Watch, we have believed it to be an amazingly excellent content device and platform. Comics and manga, with their incredibly rich storytelling and visual appeal, are perfectly suited for this innovative device.
To bring these two worlds and witness the incredible future they can create, we launched the Shonen Watch.
The world's first manga magazine for Apple Watch, the smallest manga magazine in the world, an amazing solo manga magazine, the first magazine where the magazine itself is a work, the project that contains the smallest and cutest but the greatest vision. That is the Shonen Watch. Experience the joy of wearing a manga magazine on your wrist—a truly unique and delightful experience. Shonen Watch will not only entertain but also guide you toward a new frontier in entertainment.
The delightful and new experience, both cute and grand, on your wrist is Shonen Watch.
*Based on our research, Shonen Watch is the world's first and smallest manga magazine. If any manga magazines existed before ours or were smaller, we honor them. However, we firmly believe that in terms of grand vision and the beginning of a new future, we are still the pioneers.
