Hello the Japantopten.com Fans , The Japanese publisher Shogakukan has announced on Monday that it will end the school learning magazines Shōgaku Gonensei and Shōgaku Rokunensei, as well as the shōjo manga magazine ChuChu . Shōgaku Gonensei and Shōgaku Rokunensei (literally, “Elementary Fifth-Grader” and “Elementary Sixth-Grader”) will end during the current school year on February 3 and December 28, respectively, and will be replaced by a new learning manga magazine, tentatively titled Gakumanplus, next spring. ChuChu, a magazine aimed at older elementary school girls and middle school girls, will end with its February issue on December 28.
