Nakayoshi

is a monthly shōjo manga magazine published by Kodansha in Japan. First issued in December 1954, it is a long-running magazine with over 60 years of manga publication history. Notable titles serialized in Nakayoshi include Princess Knight, Candy Candy, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, and Cardcaptor Sakura. The target demographic for Nakayoshi (like Ribon and Ciao) is teenage girls. Roughly the size of a phone book (hence the term "phone book manga"), the magazine generally comes with, or small gifts, such as pop-out figures, games, small bags, posters, stickers, and so on. The furoku is an attempt to encourage girls to buy their own copies of the magazine rather than just share with a friend.
