Shogakukan's Separate Grade Learning Magazines
Shogakukan's Separate Grade Learning Magazines (Japanese: 小学館の学年別学習雑誌) is a long-running series of Japanese magazines by Shogakukan meant for students, first published in 1922. Each issue collates various manga.
The magazines are split into six categories based on different stages of Japanese education; Elementary School First Grade (Japanese: 小学一年生), Elementary School Second Grade (Japanese: 小学二年生), Elementary School Third Grade (Japanese: 小学三年生), Elementary School Fourth Grade (Japanese: 小学四年生), Elementary School Fifth Grade (Japanese: 小学五年生) and Elementary School Sixth Grade (Japanese: 小学六年生).
The Densetsu no Starfy manga illustrated by Sayori Abe appeared in Elementary School Third Grade from April 2002 up to December 2002 (inclusive) and was never released in tankōbon form. [1][2]
As of February 2012, both Elementary School Third Grade and Fourth Grade are discontinued. [3] Elementary School Fifth Grade and Sixth Grade also stopped running in 2010.
